Some beautiful September days last
week-quite contrast with the weather
Df month preceding. There was just
1 coloring of frost in tender places on
,ne or two mornings, but not enough to
damage anything. The above does not

the nineties, and the fierce sun blazes
DOWN unshadowed by speck of cloud.

ll47 feet. As the elevation of the bridge
across the river in this village, which is
the lowest point of the road, is S4S feet,
The figures show that in going the ten
niles from here to Buckfeld We lack |
only one foot of rising 500 feet, in
addition to the numerous ups and downs
Of the road.

time largely to arguing that the work.

md ought to have it, and that the two
Did political parties are capitalistic
parties. He is ready speaker, with
slashing and picturesque style, and his
talk was entertaining to all.
