In the first place, the pens and sleep

Four ounces OF salcylic acid, the same

eight ounces of cosmoline or lard; and

IL loads of hay, with no after-crop.
The following season he MANFRED and

neighbors laughed at him; but about

Friends of the Youngers were present

sufferers In the famous raid. and pre-
scented strong arguments against the
pardon. The presentation OF the case
occupied all Monday afternoon and
