remarkable shot, completely telescoping

earlier than heretofore, which makes 1t
very convenient for us as our New York

now, we cannot write a letter and receive
an answer in less than two days.
Mr.. John Brink, son of VIM. Brink, Of
this place, met with quite serious acct

head, having his jaw and collar bone
broken, as well as several bruises. The
physicians say he will recover but 1t will
be very tedious. He resides at Trenton,
where he has wife and two children.
