H,w DID IT GEr THERE?-Mr. A. X.
Denny, Of this county, showed us satur-
day, two bladed knife, some seven inches
long, that he found in squirrels nest. in
tree cut down on the 10th Of February
The nest was 50 feet from the ground, and
besides the knife, there were in it several
young squirrels and their mother. The
hoih paiA VI hht hahutc VI hue huiie was
gone, and as squirrels eat bone, il il sup
posed that the old lady took il up there
for winter rations. The ole was very
small one, and she must have exercised
considerable ingenuity by working it in

tons, make up, and the speech itself were
very ludicrous, and the manner in which
he iran in a number Of local hits" brought
down the house. There we're numerous
other features that might be specially
mentioned, but those who attended know
which they were; those who did not have
no right to hear.
