Hi. Lamport says the recent en-
largement of his house by fine kitch-
en- and woodshed, is all owing to the
rapid enlargement of his family. But,
be that as it may, it is a good improve
ment, and money well expended, and
Forbes & Tryon are doing good work
manship on it.
MIR. n. +. Britt is enclosing his
village premises with a neat fence, in
order to keep out the village cows
(Which are turned out to commons),
while he tries his hand at gardening
with a view to raising the tallest kind
of catnip, pickles and gooseberry pies.
George Forbes may be good fish
erman, but is not all expert diver, by
any means, as he stays down too long
and kicks and founders about SO much
that the boat has to be sheered off a
rod or two in order to let him come up.
You want little more ''sperience, "
George.
