Our hotel barns are literally crowded
with teams, and the barn-yards crowd
ed with wagons till they look like they
do in fair time; and great fat hogs, load

His feet are badly frozen and amputa-
ton CT one of them may yet be neces-
sary. An empty whisky bottle was be-
side him in the road and whiskey is I'M
doubtedly the cause of his mishap.
There is some talk of suit for damages.
There are but few particulars to add

death of Ernest Lampson. His body
