Of his elder brother, Geo. B. Harris,
who departed this life on the lith inst.
Deceased was for many years promi-

more, sustained several broken ribs

head. While his injuries are painful
We are glad to state that the sufferer
has convalesced sufficiently to be able
to walk about the house. W. hope to

cd for a term of years with an option
to purchase. The proceeds of the op'
