world 2 First, it was necessary that
yon should have father and mother
that makes two human beings. Each
of them must also have had father
and nlother-that makes four human
beings. Each of those four must have
had father and mother-th that makes
eight human beings. So on we must
gaback for fifty six generations. which
brings us only to the time Of Jesus

the trial just ended would probable be a
sufficient reason for yacating OF the bond
given by General Brady in that case. The
original indictment remained, but as he un-
derstood II was nearly identical with that
recently disposed Of, he thought It should

souri, river is rising and has been out OF its
banks since yesterday. Fears are eX-
pressed that at no distant day this treach
erous stream will engulf the bottom lands
on the Galloway county side, And these
fears are moi entirely groundess. Ever
since the oldest inhabitants settled here
(somc fifty years ago. the river has been
cutting in on the Galloway county
side. State Treasurer Chappe, had
farm Of 800 acres washed into he river not
long since, and houses that were at one
time half mile from the bank OF the river
are now within few wards OF il. The gov
eminent has expended considerable money
in trying to remedy this serious danger,
but so far little or no benefit has been
derived. This land is all very valuable,
ranging in price from $50 to 800 per acre,
and as might easily be supposed, its
owners are very 10th to see II 20 in the
