The Methodist church folks of
Watertown, Oak, are exceptionally
happy. They have magnificent
new editice, judging from what the
Courier Neaos of that place says.

purpose of the church, and the sym.
pathy and generous cooperation
without, and the conservation of
every power of mind and heart and
body of the pastor, Rev. K. +. Clough.
The result is the finest NJ. f. church

special features suitable to the fam.

ber distinctly, it must be for both
papers in advance.

of Abrams, this state, is to the
effect that four of every five rabbits
killed and marketed there this sea

often located in the flesh where they
would not be noticed unless thor

disease has been known to exist
among the rabbits the past summer,
and the scarcity Of rabbits this fall
is attributed to that condition. Not
withstanding this disease, sportsmen
from Green Bay and vicinity are
shooting and marketing large q uan-
titles of this game.
