tnls KIM WEeH sne was aDle 10 leave
the house. She was buried in the
Methodist Church-yard in this place

we 60 to press it is probable that the
water will be up to, if not above raft

shall have prosperous times from now
henceforth. The sky has still the ap-
pearance of rain, al. d we shall un-
doubtedly have water en- ough to supply
the demand.
