The EPIzooG1c has reached this

which prevailed here three years ago.
Many horses in town and County are
slightly affected.
We willingly oblige Mr.. Dick in one
of his requests, that is to publish his let

WANTS TO BE HAPPY.-Our joVial

his recent trip, had the pleasure of see

was relating his experience to a friend
who deals largely in dry goods, when
the latter said, Il have seen Beecher,
and will never be happy till I see A.

sincerely trust that he will have his
wish gratifed, that another soul may
be made happy.

pleasure of seeing the diagram from
the Patent Office, and also the model OF a
new bit and bride, which has been in

can take wings and fly, and we hope
that this valuable invention will be
made use of by our people. Mr.. Werts

ceed to the manufacture, or sell rights
for its use.
