to dust thou shalt return"
Rev. j. p. Christensen was in At.
lantic Tuesday to see Peter Petersen,
who was badly burned by fire Monday
morning, and who is now in the At

resting some easier, and the physicians
felt that the patient had fair chance
of recovery, though it was too early to
give any positive assurance.
We understand that great prep.
arations are being made by the mem,
bers of st. Patrick's church, for solemn
services during Holy Week. or the last

services later on.
NJ. F. Kerwin and family left Audi,
bon Tuesday with their household eff.
fects, and by this time are busily en-.
gagged getting their new home in shape
