Of our farmers. Should no unforeseen provi.

Of oats remains yet TO be sowcl.
All the water courses near us have been
high, but we hear Of no damage done TO any
ofthe property along or bridges across them.

sum expended for this purpose might save
the county several hundred dollars and the
public great convenience.
