Atrial Soule writes home that Their
mometers are useless articles out in
that wind swept region Of N. D. where

this time, it is said that heart trouble
is the sole cause of the sickness. The
little fellow is slightly on the gain

There is considerable sickness in anC
around Princeton. Both physicians
are kept almost constantly on the &c
night and day. Their lot is not al
