the proposed lakes and, as our worthy commits

a lot Of grave in one Of the ponds, giving it a
NICE GRAVEL BOTTOM,
Il could be stocked with gold fish. The other
ponds could be stocked with polly-woys and
Oull-frogs, and member Of the Anti-cr1elty to

At them. Other little things could be added
vans, a yacht, and such, by which these IN
