gestive organs protest against every
thing with which he may tempt them,
and nothing he can think of suggests
the least feeling of hunger, it is

yaller dog. If we can borrow a goati
one for a few days we will try and
return it with the hoops good and
tight.
Our friend Mr.. Bill Thompson had
quite a painful lick on Monday after
noon, and one that might have been

replacing the top recently blown off
by the storm, and was standing out

brick from the top of the chimney
fell and struck him on the head, cut

height Of the chimney and the weight

had been on the ground the result
might have been more serious. We
are glad he escaped with only cut,
and hope he will be well long before
his present improvements are COM
pleted.
