1t is estimated that number of
deer will bite the dust to-day, that is

deer snow, and will be utilized by all
hunters who are able to shoulder gun.
The gravel train has been taken
off the river division of the o. G. q

down well inside the boro limits if
the sum of $500 is raised to assist

Arabs, not the Bedouins, nor
those who "fold their tents and silent
lY steal away" but chaps who pick up
floating timber, boards &C., during
freshets, have been doing thriving

are handsome.
