turkey, which served for our thanksgiving
supper, but somebody" evidently having
brought us another equally fine, which has
not yet gone the way of all flesh" but we
decline for sundry reasons to tell where We
keep it. OF course we are not at liberty to
name the lady who did the kind act, but

say that she is one of the most amiable and
accom- Iisbed young ladies in this fair noun
tain village. The somebody" is no other
than our wide awake young friend, Harry
Shoemaker, who did the same. thing last
year. and for aught We know intends to do
it next year, and so on Gd intfnitum. OF
course we are duly grateful, and all that
sort of thing, but We think great many
more nice things for Harry than his modesry
will permit us to say out loud. Therefore
he will accept the will for the deed, and
consider our best bow made.
