Gently showed us a young pig, having
one eye in the middle of the forehead,
and directly above the eye trunk, like
an elephants, which hung down about
2 inches. Otherwise it was well
shaped pig. The pig-elephant did not
live, and now Sam is bewailing his
bad luck, as Barnum's recent ''bust-
up" had opened a splendid chance for
an enterprising Snowman to make a
fortune.
Work on the repairs on the jail have
commenced. Sheriff Sherwin and G..
LovejOy have the contract. The body
part of the building is to be covered
with sheet iron 3-16 Of an inch thick.
This is laid from 1-2 inch to l inch
apart so as TO admit of strips of boards
being nailed on to the clapboards.
This we think will be quite an i'm
proyement. And we hope whoever
may be unfortunate enough to be con-
fined therein will remain until the law
shall have set them free. They are
also putting up an addition to the house
which is ready for the masons.

Sunday while en- route for our enter
