Of New berry, from recent survey taken
ty the local, is set down at eighty, this
includes all the various branches and
may be considered favorable ind-x OF
prosperity. From bi:ds-eye view,
each store or shop presents map OF
busy life, while content is marked upon
the face Of the professional man, merchant
and artizan alike. So mote it be.

some folks while in church, We publish
IT, folio" ing royal decree which appeared
