newspaper stamps are not delivered

There Will Be Two Reports
From the Committee.

The committee appointed under
the joint resolution of the Legisla-
ture to make an inspection of the
canals Of the state will not submit
their report to the Governor before
March 1. Under the resolution the
committee should have reported by
January 1, but the governor has
granted an extension of time. 1t is
not important that the committee
should report before March for the
reason that nothing can be done un-
til the report has been sent to the
Legislature, accompanied by such q
message FROM the governor. Cover

mittee on several of it's inspection ex-
cursions and consequently has some
personal knowledge of the conditions
of affairs to guide him in his message.
1t is learned that there will be two
reports Two of the members favor
retaining all the canals inspected,
while the other three will favor the
abandonment of the lower portion of
the Ohio canal. The committee will
divide on this latter inspection, and
two reports will be made. The gov
ernor will oppose the abandonment
of the canals as whole and the fight

DOMINO GAME
Between North and South Ma
pOleOn.

The great domino contest between
the North and Sopth side PLAYERS
was brought to close Dec. 31st, '96,
with score of 100 to 1870 in favor of
the North. The South would lead
out time and again only to receive
that terrible right hand swing of the
North which sent them back to the
ropes every time. In the 23rd game
Krabill led out with double 12 left
which sent Hudson sprawling to the
floor. He rallied again only to be
punched with double 10 from that
powerful left. This game was de-
cided in Krabill's favor.
The last and final game.-Hudson
entered the game looking very fresh
but somewhat fatigued from the aw-
full punishment he had received a
few minutes before.
Krabill led with u double s and
shortly after Hudson got his wind
with 10 for 90. Things were mixed
up in this game until Hudson landed
heavy domino on Krabill's neck
which sent him clear over to the
home of Lee Parker, where oysters
were served and a general good time
was had. Total number of games
played $3.50!
