Inc dance winch came OH az hammond
hall on Friday evening last, proved to be a
decided success In point of numbers, some
seventy couples being In attendance. The
bill was exceptionally reasonable, which
no doubt had its legitimate influence In
augmenting the number, more especially as
'stamps" are not supposed to be over and
above plenty ct the present time.
Notwithstanding the travelling is any
thing but desirable, more especially on &C.
count of the drifts aud cradle holes, wood
is being drawn into this place quite freely,
some coming quite number of miles. At
one time the present winter 1t seemed al
most a foregone conclusion that wood to
any considerable amount could not be
drawn at all 1t now seems that we need
not freeze for the want of fuel providing
one has the "wherewith" with which to
buy.

given up, and that young Cuyley pledged
watch until he could send twelve dollars I
pay for Simonds new oyercOat. The fact
in the case are that young Cuyley did nc
steal the overcoat, as ALLEGED, but took
as the only alternative he had to get
coat, his own having been taken. Whe
, Cuyley got ready to go home he foun
, his own overcoat missing, supposin
, some one had taken it by mit

finding his coat he continued to wear it vi
!, til Simonds claimed it. He was at Ru
lard having his sister with him
attendance upon funeral, when the coi
was claimed, which he immediately gay
up. Simonds had in the meantime pu
