Review:-We are creditably informed
that there are some people in this town
who objects to paying SIS cord for wood
but do not hesitate to visit their neigh
bors's pile when the moon ceases to
shine. Now we know that person who
will take wood without asking is not pre-
pared to take his exit from this terres-
trial spheres; therefore as we are told
that an explosive will be the final result
of this work, we warn all parties of the
danger from this practice and at the
same time cheat the sulpher regions of
another victim. Deathbed repentance
does not meet the requirements, when,
in moment, man is blown to smith

by the gruesome rafting and pres

occasions and knowing II would be
