good person to exchange worlds. She
had been great sufferer for months.

st. JOhnsbury people, who enjoyed
4 beautiful spring day last Thursday,
IAN hardly comprehend the storm that
ragged on the hills around. 1t was the /,
worst blow Danville has had during
the winter, the snow piling up in drifts

train an opportunity to mediate on
the tariff bill and the muddled polit-
zeal situation.
