named have all been purchased by the

"Christ Shilling the Tempest" is an

dor, and on inquiry the reporter was
told that 1t was executed by one of
Mr.. O'Neals pupils, who has more
than ordinary talent, as the light and

cept two families. The balance of the
hamlet had retired to the country.
Jacobs offered these two remaining
families 500. They refused unless
the balance of the inhabitants shared
In the benefit. The mayor there fore
awarded them $500, which will be
divided among all sufferers at this
point. The generosity of the remain

complete and far reaching a. has been

mayor left $500, with instructions to

He also gave $500 for the benefit of
Csseyville, as fully 400 families in and
about Csseyville needed daily ratlons.
At Weston 800 was left. At
