A freight train which went up the line

cars, and while most of them may have

J. Mellen Cummings, who, as every
body in South Paris knows, has sawed a
GOOD deal of wood in the last nineteen
wears. was reckoning up few days since
what the amount of work was that he {
had done in that line. Though he has {
kept no record, he is confident that the
total is not less than two thousand cords. {
That, piled four feet high, would make
pile of cord wood more than three
miles long. Doesn't it make your back
ache just to think of it?
