Mr.. Benjamin Noyes continues in about
the same condition, slowly sinking.
Henry Thayer, of Seymour, who was so
severely injured by the explosion of an i'm
promptu cannon in June, is recovering
with a rapidity that is surprising even to
the physician. He is now able to sit up in
his cot at the hospital, and his diet is
chiefly of solid food. The wounds in his
skull from which there oozed about tea.
spoonful of brain matter are healing, and
there is no impairment of his mental facul-
ties. An operation is to be performed on
the cavity of the eye which was blown
from it's socket by the explosion.

votes will DO lost. You probably think
you know how to vote" says the Sentinel.
".but unless you have learned the new

difficult as the difYerential calculus.
