had exceeded six hundred and eighty
dollars. This has been equally divided
between the Home and Foreign fields

Gilbert Bruce also has been prostrat-

seeming almost to border on pneumonia.
He is very low at present writing. and
the chances of his recovery seem doubt
full to his friends. DIR. Norcross has at
tended closely to his case and done all
he could TO relieve him. We sincerely
hope he may he spared.
We learn that Eugene Sears intends
t" improve his property i'll McIndoe's

contracted for his lumber. windows
