tnspre, the blacksmith shop must be replaced
By new che, and preparations should be made
to erect as soon as the spring OF 1885. The
warden has turaed his attention to the cult

State connected vita the prison, and huudreas
OF bashels OF potatoes, bests and tarnips have
been raised, also q large amount Of sweet corn,
peas, string beans, cabbage, oufnbers and
squash, which have entered into the subsist-
ence department at less cost than could have
