there have been twenty-seven deaths,
twelve births and six marriages.
Referring to the item in the Mon

who had been to the village but three
times in eleven years, your cores
pondent would say there is a man in
this town who lives mile from the
village, who has not missed more
than three week days in eleven years,
in going to the village when not out
of town visiting.
n. III. Wilson knows how rae
coon's bite feels; he and his dog
found a couple recently in a little
cave which was probably their win
ter home. The dog went in and
routed out one of them, and as he
came out s'Hack'' made a grab for
him and the coon, thinking two could
play the same game, took grip on
Hacks hand and was not inclined to
let 60, but after lively scrimmage
the coons were killed. Hack, we no.
tice, has one hand done up in rag.
