on the Dist quite a freeze. The first killing
freeze was on October I'd, and 1t troze
again on the 18th after which 1t was clear

Globe Democrat it seems that Theodore
Tilton, that pink of immoral perfection.

thoroughly practised by its founder and
eypounder. He will have to turn
Mahommedon if he expects to die in his
faith and to live in it after he is dead.
However, judgment should not be passed
until Mculton is heard from.

benefit Of her trade aul. commerce with
the south and Europe, and to allow lake
boats good and safe harbors for the winter

d nails of this state is-yery low or absolutely
no tolls, This keeps the CANALS in compe

latter to make low rates. Canal mer
should use smaller boats drawing not more
u than five feet of water and make better
time. Large boats are unwieldly and can
