migration at this port. lets it be known that
he is kindly disposed toward all good

should find wife unaided. The occasion
FOR Mr.. Williams's dissertation on wife
hunting came about through the following
letter from farmer near Sharon. Penn.

The man is telling me that his children
are nearly all the time in the street, and

Gravel or broken stone when used
for a road IS intended to form hard

water without SoftennG in rainy
The gravel, or macadam, is not in
itself n rigid structure, but depends
upon the firmncSS of the earth below
to carry the loads which come upon
It, The object Of the gravel is to make
the surface harder ana more resistant
to wear and the action of water than
the earth surface that ii replaces, and
1t can only be effective when the road
below it is properly shaped and drain
ed and when the surface has such
form rs to cause the water which
falls upon 1t to quickly run off with
out penetrating the road.
Filling mudholes with gravel is not
