pears to be heavier than ever, while the freight

There is no accounting for taste, good or
bad, but, says an exchange, the entire cake is
certainly due to Hartford county farmer, residing
in Bush River Neck, who, according to the Belair
xEgis, swears that he will never live at any place
where mosquitoes and chils and fever do not
abound in full vigor. His argument is that if
you enjoy a constant run of chills you cannot
have any other disease, and that while you are
blessed with O suthciency OF mosquitoes there is
no time to bother about other Affections Verify,
"contentment is great riches"
