reasunably-xitted reader that We we're in

" bi,ier. And why not? School houses
abound in this part Of the country; local

future punishment, celebrate the Fourth of
July, and are strongly attached to Repub-

posed, therefore, that We could ever let our

We have had too much Of this thing, and
too much cold weather. the

We never look for continuance OF this
weather. On one Of those cold days last

finally To make his way on his hands and
knees. which he did for distance Of nearly
half mile, when he was taken into house
