The workmen in digging, generally un-
dermine the hill which is liable to cave,
or landslide at any time. Hence, the
necessity of precaution. There are
young children also who are went to play
under the hill. Should it cave while
workmen are at work, or while the little
children are playing around, their lives
would be crushed out. I am more par

that cave-in occurred in West Viz
glnia, on a railroad on which one of my
sons-in.law is helping to build, and
where he but narrowly escaped being
killed. The hill at Lavinia's has had

The mosquito season has had its effect,
particularly on cattle. Jim Palmer has
a cow with no tail. d. c. Armstrong, of
the upper hostelry has an horse in about
the same condition. But for the COW
and the horse during mosquito time, Ike I
Bailey, the ever prolific genius of the
river bank, conceived the idea of false
