Several typographical errors occur

much or not enough of that much

Press gang. Your types made me
say that Frank Nun, had been injured

that he is on the mend, though slowly.
The tremendous gale Saturday
night threshed out the chestnuts and
hickory nuts literally, and with the
earliest peep of dawn Sunday morn
ing, the woods were astir with boys
and men, with bags and baskets, each
and every one seemingly determined
to have his share of these delicious
nuts. The chestnut yield has been the
best for several years. Charles Ray
mond has realized over $40 for his
crop of chestnuts, grown on scattering
trees in his pastures. a part were
sold at Sc per bushel, some at 81, and
some were sold ON the trees. The
chestnut is convenient and profitable

DEATH OF PETER CooPER.-It is
with unfeigned sorrow that we an
nounce the death of Peter Cooper, an
old and highly esteemed citizen of this
place, who died October 18th, of heart
disease, aged IA years. He was man
who i'll his distinguishing characters
tics was a model man acithOUt q
price. A kind husband, good neigh
Dor, sincere friend, and Christian
in fact, although to the last discarding
all dogmas and beliefs. He never
knew how to dissemble he had opin-
ions, and the world knew from his
own lips what those opinions were.
His word was bond on all occasions,
and when his mind was made up, he
was firm as the eternal hills and no
honor or wealth could induce him to
entertain different opinion. He was
a Democrat from principle, and since
1922, had not failed to put in his ap-
pearance at the polls at every state
election and deposit Democratic
ballot. His funeral on Saturday was
largely attended at the NJ. E. Church,
the ceremonies being conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Blackmay, of Parkman.
assisted by Rev. Mr.. TORY, of Mantua.
