Ex-senator EDMUNDs' withdrawal from
the senate is now set down to the account

OF all managerie stock the monkey tribe
| is the most precarious. The comparative
| comfort Of a roOf-tree does not compensate
for the activity of their natural life, and,

NAV be designated, or they may commute
this by money payment based on the

Two young girls, yielding to temptation,
stole each O trihe on Saturday morning.
When arrested and brought face TO face
with the Judge, they were remanded in
the custody OF their counsel and matters

good fruit. An enterprising modern jour

they lived. and settled them forever.
