preparation for his reception, either.
The attendance last Sabbath at the
Free Methodist camp meeting, in pros

frankie, Stl eet Fair, last evening, was
so affected by the spectacle of a man
snakes that to-day, when he
happened to see pair of garters hanging

ancient Athens, wished to protest against

divided it into equal compartments by
lrawing lines from the circumference to
he ceDter, and signed their names in the
