matter kept secret, they will please
pass round the cigars and ct ceterds,
when the Creek boys go down, and
we will say no more about it.

Chester Tracy writes that the
spring has been wet and backward in

located about mile from Mr.. Tracy.

Benz. Mossman, who has so long
been confined with a broken leg, APP

and makes better butter tubs and

vicinity. His injury was received
many years ago by the premature
discharge of a cannon on fourth OF
July.
