but the bonds carried by vote of

injured member. It was found neces-

in all probability keep Mr.. Mcclure
from work for some time.-Fsirbury

the religious sentiment is strong in
their hearts. The one cherished day

the unenlightened onlooker it is quito

1t is, of course, important to examine
the condition of what is inclosed, and
this, in fact, is the way it is done. Tho

tell whether the meat is in a whole

to tell whether the wheel he taps with

them from the cabin where he had

grabbing his hat. he ran out to sa-

shrieked when they saw him waving
