spun Al pounds of rolls, knit 6 pairs
of stockings, pairs of double nit
tens, pair of gloves, pieced up )
bedquilts and made up 80 yards of
cotton cloth, and is now at work on
web of toweling of 80 yards, woven
well, and is ready at any time to tel
you a story of ''ye olden time" She
remembers well the time that the run
away pond freshet took place anC
lived but short distance from it al
that time, and it is very interesting
to hear her relate how they used t.
do when Caledonia, Orleans and Es
sex counties were a wilderness com
pared with what they are now, anC

hear from them Union.
