And make me pocket in the sleeve thereof, of
the space of three inches wide that a maden's

The fires in the several offices in the Court
House are allowed to go out on Saturday evening
and on Monday it requires eighty hods of coal to
start and keep them going. Other days it does
not require fourth the quantity of coal. This

low coal fires to die out and make them up fresh
in the morning, or keep them going right along.
There is no doubt but what saving can be eff
fected by keeping the fires up.

four executions which have taken place at Tow
sontown all were of colOred men and all for the
same crime-rape. The first was Perry Kennard,
who was hung by Sheriff Joseph Walkers the Sc

the third, Levin Palmer, hung by Sheriff Robin

rapidly increasing population is caused by the
many manufacturing establishments of that
thriving town.

By moon and stars above.

Before he could say
Her dad came in, and with a club

The Hartford Democrat of last week says
''Mr. James Amos, short time ago, sent load of
pork to Baltimore and weighed it in gross. After
the pork was delivered the wagon was weighed to
ascertain the net weight of the pork. An inves-
tigation of the wagon body by Mr.. Amos's son.

stone covered up with hay. The stone are sup
