is often the case, for days in fermenting manure,
the farmer must naturally expect that the
animal will suffer- and not only in the way of
scratches, but the hoof is also rendered brittle
and liable to disease, and, in fact, the general
health of the animal is seriously affected.

miners entered the slope as soon as the
news had reached the surface. IL was

common is the disposition Of the rich to

Troy, n. Y, December l4-lu 1867 a
family named Fesr, living in Cleveland,

dead. Recently Charles Fear, her brother

Singburg, the wife of an engineer in this
city, SAYING that she believed abe was his

his lost sister. She explained her silence
