ton, much more doleful than that-he
was soon to 60 to the hospital to under

without knowing how serious it might
prove to be.

Our thanks are once more due Alden
Chase, Esq. of Bryant's Pond, for the
loan of book entitled, Atlantis, The
Antediluvian World. 1t contains $50
pages, and gives the history, as far as
possible, of the great island of Atlantis
that once existed in the Atlantic ocean,
between the eastern and western CONT
nents. Here the Garden of Eden was
located, and consequently the Dir thplace
of the human race. At least so thinks
and argues the author, Ignatius Dom

skillful hand.
