nous and dry reading for dog dayS-es-
peclally to those not concerned, while
those that are concerned the meaning
to is pointed enough. These SheritT5 are
real ugly when they get mai at fel-
low, for which reason we are doing oar
level best to keep on goood terms wi h

one of 81, the other of I60 acres. On
the latter he built good house and
stable, and talks seriously of emigrat-
