plant moved to the farm of Mr.. W.

not use quarried rock, as the surface stone
is preferable when it can be obtained

being pushed with every consistent

money bequeathed by the will of the late
William Woolsey for this turnpike. The
time will expire about the first of next

ened horse belonging to his nephew, who
was also helping. He grabbed the ami.

hold it, scared his own horse, which he
caught with the other hand. Although
a powerful man, Mr.. Smith was thrown
from his feet by the two plunging ami
mails and dragged for some distance.

would have passed over him, and there

tunity for him to escape. He has a bad

shaken up.
