finish sure enough.
Summing up the base ball results as
affecting the Marienville teams double
defeat here last week, the Express puts
it thus: "The only explanation that
seems to fill the bill is simply that our
boys could not connect with the ball
when the hits were needed. They were

week is letting out a good many boats and
barges from the yards here and at Ne

les of 1891, a clever imitation of the gen.

contains no silk threads. AS yet none
nave gotten into circulation in this Office.

river at Foxbnrg has been placed in the
hands of a receiver, at the instance of the

which holds a mortgage on the structure.
All toll bridges ought to be in the hands

travellers up for a ''fippenny bit" at every
turn relegated to the dark ages. Toll
roads are a thing of the past, aud toll
bridges ought to be.
