the lady in the case an unmitigsted in
justice. Mrs. Bonny has ion been = resi-
dent OF this city and has many friends who
have every faith in her.

with pain, seeks bottom. aud he is given
all the line and the cork is thrown over.
This acts as buoy. BY it the fishermen
are able TO trace the fish for miles, for it
usually takes from Two hours to three
