Scrapes." TO cite a few of them, a
horse-rake was deprived Of its wheels,

except one which he lost lately, and
he was always blessed with good
health until short time before his
death, when he began to grow weak
and feeble, and gradually day by day
his life ebbed away. When young
man he served in the Napoleon war

afforded him pleasure and fund OF
conversation. He was a kind and
good old man, endeared to all who
