arly and fine, and reflects much credit on
the author.

err that somebody wants to buy at $50
to be delivered next fall.
The Fourth was more than usually quiz
ct here. Some of the boys got up early
in the morning and blew out their surplus
patriotism on horns, and hallooed it out
in rather unpleasant noises, but they did
no particular harm. Some of our people
went to Newport, St. Johnsbury, and
others, who are in the habit of working
days, nights and Sundays, made it day
of rest.

away at his shop in this village, building
