The lace rufiles which Attorney
General Brewster wears at his wrists
set off a remarkable handsome pair Of
hands which are in strange contrast
with the painfully SCARED face. These
are honorable scars he wears, since
they were got when he was child in

apron canght fire on the nursery
hearth, and the boy, hardly more
than a baby himself, rushed to her
and pressed out the fire, saving her at
a fearful cost to himself.

stated, in as many words, that "the

and in no other city in the State, is
the air so salubrious that the remains
