about eleven o'clock on what is known
as "Hangman farm" formerly belong

anything, and his loss in live stock was
heavy-12 head of horses and 20 cows

in the open pound. Fortunately the
wind set of from, and saved the other
buildings. The stable was a substantial
one, two stories with loft. They will
of course be rebuilt at once. Mr. Hof

building and Mr.. WittoGk 81 500 on his
stock.

was gay time, for as the hack rolled
through Main street you could hear tn,
merry laughter long after the sound O
the wheels had died away. The even

social pastimes, in which whist dancing
charades, and other games were in
dulged. Mr.. Sutton gave some swee
