Wheeler disregarded the request. Mrs.
Hickey was sentenced to two wears i'm

one year at hard labor in the House of
Correction at Rutland.

demands it. Arranged over the market
are ten nice sized rooms. There will be
twenty stalls in the market GE10 feet

the various towns through which he
passed, and took great pains to get full
particulars necessary, SO that the one IN

use of the tenants, and every conve-
nience for the business. One of the
stalls will be fitted up as a coffee and
