The horse may not be-so pretty, but it will cost less to keep him. You will find the postal cards that have not been used under the distributing table, and the coal down in the cellar. If the stove draws too nard close the damper in the pipe and suut the general delivery win- dow. Looking over eventful administration ter here, I find abundant thanksgiving.
