No shirks could be found at the
grading nor at the dinner tables, which
were spread in the Cong'i church parlors (
noon. The ladies, not content with doing
simply what they promised, provided, in
addition to he"biled dinner a hash sup
per which was also partaken OF with evi-
dent relish, and when the day closed il
was with goodly amount OF work ac-
and renewed admiration for
he ladies of that organization, which for
\ long time has taken the place of a "pub-
lie improvement society,"
At about five o'clock Sunday afternoon,

east OF the village, and all that now re.
mains of him TO Jailer Whitney is an over
coat, sweet memories and his Jail record |
MIR. Whitney was taking some wood into
he jail when MichiaI lodged past him, |
out OF the door and into the back yard /
" hich is surrounded by very high fence
and which delayed his progress somewhat, /
and until Mr.. Whitney could reach him, |
hen tussle occurred; but the prisoner
being a powerful man physically, soon
overcame Mr.. Whitney by blows upon the |
head and face and, leaving him upon the |
ground, as he evidently supposed, in an
insensible condition, he departed without !
further ceremony and took to the hill. He |
was followed for some time but darkness |
prevented his capture, altho' Mr.. Whitney,
in spite Of his injuries, spent a good share
Of the night in looking for him, and on
Monday had teams in various directions.
