and plenty of good things to eat made the
day pass very pleasantly, At 10 heavy
rain came up, but soon cleared
off and the sun shone brightly. The
most amusing thing of the day
was gander pulling, Take goose of the
male persuasion, pick all the feathers OIL
his neck, lub'iCate his neck with good old
soft soap, tie him up by the heels TO limb
of a tree with strong rope, and then the
horsemen ride by at full gallop, and the
man who pulls the head off the gander gets
the prize There is nothing iunnier than
when your mother.in-law dies, You see
the wings are left free, aud the eander
flaps, and consequently his neck is hard to
catch and an awful tug TO pull OIL, not con.
sidering the soft lye soap.
