1T appears that the report of the

last week, was erroneous to some extent.
The house was on fire, and the second

down.

We are informed that Messrs Shields

the cold weather and flowed some fly or
sixty barrels out on the snow.-Brook-

liSaid concomitants will be kept at
temperature to tickle the palates of the
epicures.

wouldn't be much left OF the little month
that usually makes the gas meter hump
themselves.
According to the Warren Times, a
clairvoyant of that place, declares that
Gust Bengston, who so mysteriously
disappeared from the Eagles club rooms
some weeks ago, is alive, but does not di-

really want to know is just what they
don't tell you.
