John I'D Skunk one ~ whin NAM.

John H. Skunk one of Whig Hills
prosperous farmers met with quite loss
in the death of one of his most valuable
team horses last Saturday. The animal
had shown no sign of sickness or did not
seem in any way "out of Sorts" yet fell
dead before the harnes could be removed
while hitched to the plow. The loss falls
heavily upon Mr.. Skunk, doubly so at
this particular season of the year, when
he is in the midst of an already back
ward springs work on the farm.
