viii Carvil, while returning from

fright and in his efforts to check them
be drew them out Of the road when one
Of the buggy wheels struck q stump,
throwing both himself and the young
lady accompanying hun to the ground.

acter, stillthey are not expensive and
yet suffice for the time being. What
We need IN order to make our streets
what they should be, is paving. but since
We cannot get that, why, we must aecep0
