Comfy Of this city. At last accounts
the patient was resting as we'll as could
be anticipated and the chances OF re-
covcry were regarded as even. The
large circle of friends i'm this city of
the patient sincerely hope she may
recover and be blessed with an album
dance Of good health in the remaining
years OF life allotted to her.
Those lads with fine suits, fine looks
and superfine manners, who carry the
epaulets OF the French army on their
shoulders and play such pretty music
are Alcestrians and Il better behaved
crew stopped in our village.
They are furnishing the band music
for the fair. The COURIER welcomes
them to Elk Point, gives them the
freedom Of our metropolis, but hopes
they will not carry away any of orr
lovely girls of which we have none to
spare
