ablsst of Grants messages The recon-

and will find acceptance from the people of
the country. The portion of the message
relating to the taxing of church property
has already aroused considerable discussion.
The views of the PresideN on the school

chasing. The crowd in attendance was not
large, the unpleasantness of the weather
keeping many away. Chase was given to
several foxes and deer and for time things
were quite lively and interesting. One

fence and got away from bis pursuers. One
of hedeel, beautiful animal, broke its leg
