As avillainously bad and stupid guesser the
reporter for an alleged newspaper on Third

distanced by facts, consideration of which

the loss on one building, at sum for which
both were almost constructed Cthe workhouse
and second family building were both built for
$22,QOO) IN 1873. He then takes long breath
and raises the insurance three or four notches
higher than it had ever been placed; and then
but space is valuable and the GLOBE is not
given to waste it on asinine guess work.
