votre provision de bois, de foins,
etc? Votre cheminee est ellie en-
parfait ordre ? Beaucoup d'acci-
dents viennent par lie manque de
prevoyance. Nous nous rappellons
que plusieurs malheurs furent pre-
venus dams notre village par le
sang-froid ct le courage de nos
concitoyens !; mais qui salt, 81 un

ne quite son endroit natal QUA
lapproche du mauvais temps. Pres
du Pole, quand il ne trouve plus
d'endroit OH Sc reposer, ou de quot
Sc nonrrir, il prend son essor etne
s'arrete que sur lie rivage du Golf.
C'est assurement lie froid qui l'obli

draft mieux faire un peu moins de

forte perte par les glaces ct les
chemins de cette saison.
