The Testimony of the Whole World. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT BAD T,EOS, BAD BREASTS, SORES AND ULCERS, All descriptions of sures are remediable by the prop, and diligent use of this inestimable preparation. To at tempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edges of the wound together is a folly ; for should the skin unite, a bog gy diseased condition remains underneath to break out with tenfold fury in a few days. The only rational and successful treatment, as indicated by nature, is to reduce the inflammation in and about the wound and to soothe the neighboring parts by rubbing in plenty of the Oint ment as salt is forced into meat. This will cause the malignant humors to be drained eff from the hard, swol len and discolored parts round about the wound, sore, or ulcer, and when these humors are removed, the wounds themselves will soon heal ; warm bread and water wel -1 ices applied over the affected parte, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in, will soothe and soften the same, and greatly assist the cure. There is a description of ulcer, sore and swelling, which need not be named here, attendant upon the follies of youth, and for which this Ointment is urgently recommended as a sovereign reme dy. In curing such poisonous sores it never fails to restore the system to a healthy et•te if the Pills be taken accord ing to the printed instructions. DIPTHERIA, ULCERATED SORE THROAT, AND SCARLET AND ornia lEfiki Any of the above diseases may be cured by well rub: Hug the Ointment three timesa day into the chest, throat, and neck of the patient, it will soon penetrate, and give immediate relief. Medicine taken by the mouth must operate upon the whole system ere its influence can be felt in any local part, whereas the Ointment will dolts work at once . Whoever tries the unguent in the above manner for the diseases named, or any similar disorders affecting the chest and throat, will find themselves re lie% ed as by a charm. All sufferers from these complaints should envelop the throat at bedtime in a large bread and water poultice, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in ; it will greatly assist the cure of the throat and chest. To allay the fever and lessen the Inflammation, eight or ten Pills should be taken night and morning. The Oint ment will produce perspiration, the grand essential in all eases of fevers, sore throat, or where there might be an oppression of the chest, either from asthma or other causes. PILES, FISTULAS, STRICTURIS. The above class of complaints will be removed by night ly fermenting the parts with warm water, and then by most effectually rubbing in the Ointment. Persons suffer ing from these direful complaints should lose not a mo ment in arresting their progress. It should be understood that it is not sufficient merely to smear the Ointment on the affected parts, but it must he well rubbed in fora con siderable time two or three times a day, that it may be taken into the system, whence it will remove any hidden sore or wound as effectually as though palpable to the eye. There again bread and water poultices, after the rubbing in of the Ointment, will do great service. This is the only sure treatment for females, cases of cancer iu the stomach, or where there may be a genorat bearing down. INDISCRETIONS OF YOUTH ;-SORES AND ULCERS. Blotches, as also swellings, can, with certainty, be radi cally cured if the Ointment be used freely, and the Pills talon night and morning, as recommended in the printed instructions. When treated In any other way they only dry up in one place to break out in another; whereas this Ointment will remove the humor front the system, and leave the patient a vigorous and healthy being.— It will require time with the use of the Pills to insure a lasting cure. DROPSICAL SWELLINGS, PARALYSIS, AND STIFF JOINTS. Although the above complaints differ widely in their origin and nature, yet they all require local treatment.— Many of the worst cases, of such diseases, will yield in a comparatively short space of time when this Ointment is diligently rubbed into the parts affected, even after every other means have failed. In all serious maladies the Pills should be taken according to the printed direction:ac companying each box. B,,th the Ointment and Pilts amid be. used in the follow- Ong cases Bal leg., BA 1 Bremts.

Original pct q). A Smawl Phule BY A BIGGE PHULE. A little phule sat by Calliope's bower Borne down by a burden of grief; The great briny tears, in a torrent did pour, Into his ten-cent handkerchief. His prayer intermingled with sobs was put up In the very best style of the art; His whine was more plaintive than that of a pup With his tail 'neath the wheel of a cart. "Oh ! fairest Calliope, grant unto me Astute intellectual powers; Let eloquence gird, as a golden-tinged sea, My hitherto wearisome hours. "I long to inscribe, on the annals of fame, A sentence more precious than gold, And read o'er all others my unrivled name, When body and mind have grown old. "Oh, 'tis not the orator's boon that I crave ; Its charms take not hold on my soul, In poetic waters my mind I would lave, And shake earth from centre to pole." Unable to bear this importunate cry— This Suro-Phoenician request— The goddess descended to say in reply— 'With "cheek" this young man is blest'— "But rather than list to your horse-fiddle bowl, Which all my fair bower cloth fill, I'll order my servant to take a small bowl And measure you out half a gill." Now nature intended the thing far an ass, And ears in accordance had made; If shorn of th ise ornaments "School Boy" e l.! Would be almost deprived of a head." The servant intent on his mission in haste His seven-ounce gizzard to cheer, And seeing no other inlet to the beast, Just poured the std.' into his ear. Unnoticed by "School Boy" or any one else The germen proceeded on through And fell on the ground, for no fissure it found To fasten its rootlets to. And "School Boy" imagines to this very day The muses upon him do smile:— Well, some may have stopped for a rest on the way— It must have gone nearly a mile. There are fools big and little, that all must admit; Now I am "A Phule" and I know it;— 'Tis my crude opinion that wisdom and wit Superfluous are in a poet. ,*torg-Celter. THE FATAL SHOT. "Help ! Help !" That desperate, hopeless cry echoed but faintly among the wild, craggy rocks that abounded on the east side of a small island off the coast of Maine, for the splashing of the waves upon the beach below, and the sighing of the wind through the wide rifts and over the ledges, partially drowned it. By aid of the full, round moon, which seemed to be rising directly out of the gently-ruffled waters, that stretch away as far as the eye can reach, we discover the form of a man, who is hurrying down to wards the shore, with a struggling female in his arms. •There, my pretty one," he said, "don't make such a noise, fbr I doubt if your voice will be heard-in this wild region.— We'll reach the boat soon, and then you may cry or sing to the stroke of the oars till you are tired !" • At length he paused, and, placing his fingers to his mouth, gave a shrill whistle, which was quickly answered. Seemingly satisfied, he proceeded on, presently reach. in; the beach, along which he rapidly strode with his burden. "Be lively, lads," he said, upon nearing a place where the rocks projected some distance into the water, not far from which two men stood waiting with a boat drawn up a little ways on the sand. "Let us get away from here as soon as possible. Hist, who comes !" Scarcely had he reached the boat, when a tall, athletic youth bounded forward, and pushed one of the astonished men into the water, a retreating wave carrying him far out into the little bay before he was able to make a stroke to save himself; then, springing upon the other, he dealt him a blow which sent him sprawling into the boat, and dashed his head with such vio lence-against one of the thwarts, that in sensibility instantly ensued. The abductor quickly placed the maiden on her feet. and drawing a pistol, leveled it at the bead of the intruder, but ere he could discharge it his throat was grasped by the hand of his opponent, the weapon wrested from him, and himself rudely prostrated. "Now," said the youth, pointing the pistol at the fallen man, and slowly re treating backward, with one arm about the waist of the maiden, "if you attempt to rise I'll send a bullet through your brain. I will do you no further injury, though, if you will allow us to depart in peace." "You seem to have the advantage at present," returned the other; "Bat I shan't forget this ! You shall rue the time you crossed my path !" "I thank you for your friendly warning, and will perhaps profit by it; but, take the advice of a young friend, and leave this neighborhood as soon as possible, for I perceive you don't belong here, and you are certainly gaining no friends." Slowly the young couple moved away from the place where the short, decisive struggle bad occurred, till at length a hugh boulder hid them from view; then they turned a❑d hurried up the steep ascent which led toward the home of the girl. Walter," she said as they pro ceeded rapidly up the treacherous path, hand in hand, "how can I ever repay you fur this kindness ?" "The only reward I ask is a continuance of the same warm love you have lately shown me," replied the youth ; "you can bestow it, Rachel, can you not ?" "Certainly, I can. Have I not assured you of my devotedness long ere this ?" "Yes, yes; but I thought perhaps your sentiments had changed, since you were just now trying to elope with that fellow whom we left down on the beach," and the young man laughed lightly at his facetious remark. "I happened to be on my way to pay you a visit," he continued, "when I heard you call for help, so I turned my steps in the direction whence came the cry, and overtook you just in time to pre vent your being carried away from me perhaps forever. But who is that fellow ? and how came he to get hold of you ?" et o ,-, G. a> 3:1 "I don't know who he is, but I think he is the captain of that strange vessel, which you have perhaps seen anchored at the entrance of the bay for the last two days. I met him yesterday, and he in sulted me, but I passed on without seeming to notice him. This evening he came to the house. Mother, as you know, has been very ill for the last few days, and this morning she was somewhat worse, so father starte up to 14--to get Dr. Ben ton and Uncle William to come and see her. He has not returned yet, so when this man came in I was alone with mother. Without a word of warning, he caught me up in his arms, and hurried away with me. You know the rest." The two soon reached the girl's home— HUNTINGDON, PA., FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1876. a plain but substantially built but, the interior of which, though scantily furnished looked neat and comfortable. Upon a small table, which stood between the door and one of the windows, was a lighted candle, nearly burned to the socket, and a large wood fire burned in the broad open fire-place, while various little articles which lay upon the mantel, or bung behind the door indicated that the male occupant was a fisherman. In one corner of the apartment was a bed, upon which reclined a middle aged female, whose pallid cheeks and wasted form bespoke long and terrible suffering. When the latch was lifted, and the door swung open, she raised her head with a nervous terror to see who had come. "Mother, it is I," said Rachel, stepping quickly towards the bed, and bending over her. 'how do you f, el now ?" "Oh, my dear, dear child," said the in valid, stretching forth her thin bands, "I feared you were gone forever. Where is that villian who was here ?" "We left him down on the beach.— Walter, here, rescued me from his clutches just as he was lifting me into his boat." The young man approached the bedside, and suffered his toil-stained hand to be grasped by the sick woman. "Bless you, Walter !" she said fervently. "God bless you, my dear boy ! and, when I am gone, I hope you will take good care of Rachel." "But you must not talk of leaving us yet, Mrs. Chester," said Walter, soothing ly. "Are you not feeling better now." "No; I believe lam growing worse. I am so nervous to night that the slightest noise startles me, and causes my heart to throb so violently, that it seems at times as if it would burst from my bosom.— Rachel, isn't it time your father returned?" "Yes, mother, but I do not see him coming yet." Rachel looked out through the window upon the moonlit waters, hoping to see her father's boat coming around the point at the entrance to the little bay, but in vain ; so she returned to the bedside of her mother, and carefully arranged the pillows beneath her head, and brushed the long black hair from her face. Presently the invalid dropped into a quiet sleep, and the young couple seated themselves before the fire, and began to converse in low tones, occasionally turning and looking out at the window, expecting to discover the approach of the old fisherman, and wondering what could keep him so long. Slowly the moon rose toward the zenith, still shedding a mellow light over the face of nature, and presently the old clock on the mantel struck eleven, causing the sufferer to start nervously in her sleep, but she sank back again without waking. "Rachel I must leave you now," said the young man, pushing his chair away from the fire, "for I was up late last night, and I promised Dan Duncan I would be ready to go to L—with him at four o'clock to morrow morning. I'll not be fit to do anything unless I have a few hours sleep. You're not afraid to be alone, are you ?" "Oh, no !" replied the girl ; "there's nothing to fear except that man who tried to carry me away this evening, and it seems to me that you have better reason to fear him than I have " "Don't be alarmed about we, Rachel, for I shall be on my guard, though I hardly think he will show himself around here again. Be a good girl, and don't forget me in your dreams. Goad night." "Good night, Walter." The lovers' lips met in a long, affection ate kiss; then the young man passed out, and started towards his humble home.— Rachel watched him until his form mingled with the shadow of a high, jagged rock, and then turned and closed the door, and, perceiving that her mother was still sleep ing, seated herself before the fire again, waiting anxiously for the coming of her father. Half an hour passed quietly but to diously by when, upon looking out at the window, as she had done nearly a hundred times before, she bounded to her feet with a cry of terror; but, quickly recovering her self-possession, she ran to the window shutter, which opened on the inside, and fastened it, and then barred the door. "Rachel, Rachel ! what is the matter ? Where is Walter.? cried her mother, nervously starting up, but sinking back again upon her pillow, with both hands pressed over her wildly throbbing heart. "Oh, mother, I saw two hideous faces peering in at the window just now, and one of them belongs to that man who was here this evening ! What shall I do ?-- Oh. mother, what shall—" Her utterance was interrupted by a loud knock at the door, to which she designed no response, but in an agony of terror kept close to the bedside of her mother. The knock was repeated, and the blood seemed ready to freeze in her veins as the latch was impatiently lifted, and a heavy weight pressed against the door till it seemed the bar that held it shut must give way, and place her at the mercy of the ruffians. "Hallo, neighbor, let us in won't you," at length came a voice from without; "we are travelers seeking shelter from the night." This, Rachel was positive, was a false hood, for no one ever came to the little island except to transact business with those who lived there, and it was not so large but that one might traverse through it from end to end in a couple of hour: ; so she maintained her position without ut tering a word. "I say there, my line girl," continued the speaker, after waiting a few minutes, his tone of voice and manner of rattling the latch showed that he was getting ex asperated at not being admitted ; "if you don't open this door pretty suddenly, we'll burst it open I" And again the bar seemed ready to give way under the heavy body pressed against it. . . "Rachel," said the nervous invalid, :n a horse whisper, while her eyes, the pupils of which had grown unnaturally large and bright with terror, seemed to be on the point of starting from their sockets, "what if they should get inside ! They would kill me and carry you away ! Shoot them !" she cried, horrified at the thought to which she had given expression ; take down the gun and shoot the villains !" Ready to adopt the first plan that came to mind, the girl sprang upon a chair be fore the fire, and took down from the hooks in the wall, over the mantel, her father's old gun, together with the powder horn and bullet and cap pouches. These latter she carried to the table, and then with the expertness of an experienced hunter, drew the ramrod and sounded the depth of the barrel, to discover if the weapon was loaded. It was not ! so she blew into the muzzle, and found that though it had not been used for a long time, it was still in good condition. With a look of fierce determination, she poured a quantity of powder into the palm of her left hand, and slipped it into the barrel, ramming the wad down upon it with an energy that fairly made the weapon ring. The bullet was next dropped in, and as it did net fit snug, a wad of paper was pushed down upon it to keep it in place; the hammer was then raised, and thefcap carefully adjusted ; then with her finer on the trigger, the resolute girl at once advanced toward the middle of the room. Meanwhile, the knocking and rattling at the door had ceased, but presently it was resumdd, though not with the seeming impatience that it was before. "Father," ventured the girl, hoping it might be her parent who had returned, "if it is you, speak, and I will let you in." She waited, but no response came, other than a nervous clicking of the latch, and a pressure like that of a foot against the bot tom of the door. With an inward prayer that God would forgive the deed, she rais ed the gun to her shoulder and pulled the trigger, the ball passing through the door a little below where the bar crossed it. A groan from without, as some heavy body sank upon the door-step—a shriek of ago ny from the bed in the corner—and all was still, save the sharp ringing in her ears which the report had occasioned. Hastily dropping the weapon on the floor, Rachel sprang to the bedside of her mother, but to her horror, found her lying upon her side, her pulse silent, her heart silent too ! "Oh, mother, mother ! Speak—speak to your wretched child, and tell me I have not murdered you ! Oh, tell tell me I have not murdered you!" The words ended in a wail of despair and as the purple lips still kept silent, the poor girl sank upon the floor bereft of all consciousness. At length she was aroused by a loud knock, and a voice, which she recognized with a glad cry, called : "Rachel, open the door quick ! For heaven's sake, what is the matter here ? Open the door, I say !" Rachel sprang forward, and took down the bar, and admitted the old fisherman, her uncle, and Dr. Benton, who bore in their arms a form of a man, bound hand and foot and gagged, and from a small red spot in the forehead a tiny stream of blood trickled down over his face. "Oh, my God, Walter !" cried Rachel rushing to the side of the wounded elan, and carefully removing the guide; "have I done this ? ' "It was not your fault," answered the young man, speaking with great difficulty, and looking with a sad smile into the face of the maiden ; "that man who sought to carry you off this evening is the cause of it. Ile and one of his pals caught me on my way home, but I managed to escape, bound as I am, and while they searched for me I approached the house and pressed the latch with my chin, hoping I might be able to, somehow or other, let you know who was there. But never mind ; it will soon be over ! Kiss me, Rachel, for—for I feel as if I would not last a great while. I had hoped we might some day be happy together in a little home of our own. but it's ail over now !—it's all over now !" Rachel pillowed his head in her lap, but did not press her bloodless lips to his as she had been requested to do; and af ter a brief silence the sufferer gasped fur breath, his head sank back, the lower jaw dripped, and the physician who was look ing on—for he could do nothing—knew that the soul of Walter Kelsey had left its tenement. A wild, maniacal shriek burst from the lips of the poor girl when she made the discovery, and she pushed the warm corpse from her as if it had been so much poison, and sprang to her feet, her eyes gleaming like balls of fire. "He's dead !" she shouted clutching her father by the arm. "He's dead, I say ; and so is she V l —pointing toward the bed —"and I did it ! Ha, ha, ha 1 I did it ! Dare you say I didn't ?" The old fisherman disengaged himself from her grasp with a shudder; and it would be impossible to tell the anguish that racked his soul when he realised that naught but a maniac daughter was left to cheer his once happy home! Rachel's shot had, indeed, been a fatal one. ,*eictt Ribtetinn. Our New York Letter. Political— Business— The Centenuial The Fourth in the City—A Reform In cident—The Churches. POLITICAL, Well, the agony of St. Louis is over, and soapy, slippy Sammy Tilden, the great est fraud that disgraces American politics, has carried away the prize. There are a few things that I wish to say to the Republi cans of the country : Don't imagine that Tilden is an easy wan to beat. He is the most unscrupulous politician living, the most cunning, tricky and shrewd. Then he has millions of money which he made out of railroads and other monopolies, whose zealous and unscrupulous ally he has ever been when he could make anything by them. He usect money by the barrel t o secure the nomination, and be will use it. by the cart•load to secure the election. Then he has, or will have, the united sup port of that eating cancer, Tammany,which is a power in American politics not to be underestimated. But, says my reader, Tammany opposed him in the convention ! True, but what for ? For nothing else than to get its price. Tammany put itself in opposition to the strongest man solely to compel that strongest man to come to its terms as the price of its election. That is all. John Morrisey, Oakey Hall, John Kelley, and all the gang, will work the wires, charter doggeries,open gin-mills, and pay thieves and bruisers to elect this man, the consideration being that Tammany shall dictate the course of the administra tion, and divide the plunder to suit itself. This has always been the tactics of Tam many, and always will be. The election of Tilden means the triumph of Tammany just as much as though John Kelly had supported him from the beginning, and even more, for Kelly must be paid for the expenses incurred in the fight. But, despite the support of Tammany, Tilden cannot carry New York. The sol id men of the Democratic party do not be lieve in him; and the dodging of the Con vention ou the money question will cost him the support of thousands of good and true men, who have herefore acted with the Democracy. Then the decent men of the party—those who pay taxes and do not want office—have tired of the rule of Tammany, as was shown last fall, when they beat John Kelly in his strongholds. These men may not vote for Hayes,but they will not vote for Tilden. Nevertheless, the old schemer will make a vigorous fight, and will pull every wire to Win success; and as he has money. organiz aions. and is entirely without a conscience. it is going to be a rather hard job to heat him. We shall beat him, but it will ca.; hart work to do it. The Democracy of New York are the sickest set of men that ever lived. The nomination of "Slippy Sammy," does not strike them at all favorably. and they have. at this early day. given up all hope of eke tin;; him. The fact is, they see that the American people are not ready, as vet, to place the government in the hands of a party so soaked in corruption. so utterly underserving of confidence as the Democ racy, as it is re.w constituted. Some row will he made to carry congressional tick ets and local offices, and some powder will be burnt, in consequence, over the presi dential nominees ; but no one has an ilea that Tilden has any reasonable chance of success. Betting men are offerintr Its that Mayes will carry New York. and they find no takers. The decent portion of the Democracy have got tired of spending inmey for the purpose of placiree epecitla tors in the best offices, and hordes of nn naturalized Irish in the minor places. The business men of the city know that Tit den's nomination was the result of a bar gain and sale between his supporters and the inflationists of the West, an-1 altogeth er, there is a demoralizetien in the Dense cratic camp that is very enceurngine, to those who want good governm-nt An I speaking of political matters, I wish every Republican in the United States could 4.• e the "Sunday Pentorral. - a paper which Tilden's money supports, and which is the organ of the Irish end of the perry. To make sure of the support of the Irish Democrats, it has a portrait of Kernan the nominator of Tilden, right over a proui• nent portrait of Tilden with this inscrip tion, " A Catholic statesman, Senator Ker mit', the nominator ofGov. Tilden " This is a bid for the support of the Catholics— an assurance to them that Tilden is fairly in their hands, and that, in the event of his election, they will, in national matters, have the same consideration that they have always had from him in the ether positions he has filed. Without the Irish- Catholic vote in this city, the Democracy is nothing; to get it the Catholic church must be conciliated in the meet substantial manner. The gorgeoue cathedrale, church es, monasteries., and convents, all on ground which Democratic politicians filch ed from the city for them, and which are more than half' supported by grants from the public treasury, attest the prix' the Democracy has paid for their votes. The Republicans of the city are not only confident, but entirely jubilant. The nomination of Hayes and %Wheeler they accept as the best that. could have been made, and more than that, as all that was desirable. Clubs are being organized in all the wards, and the best men in the city are taking hold of the work. While it is impossible to carry the city, the Dem ocratic majority will se reduced as to make the state absolutely certain for the Repub lican ticket. The Liberals arc, as a rule. in line again, and thousands of Democrats will vote the Ilepnblican ticket fir the first time in their lives. The north part of the state where Mr. Wheeler resides will give the largest majority fir the ticket ever known and will of itself. more than balance all the fraud that can be perpe trated in the city. The outlook is excel lent here ; see that you do your duty every where else. BUSINESS, I hate to write that word, fn. there is no such thing in New York. The whole sale merchants are doing little, the retail ers are doing less, except the little spurt they had in Fourth of July goods, awl other trades are dead as smelts. 'lt will be better after the Fourth," was the hope ful thought, but it is worse than before. And even the lawyers are feeling it. The courts have all adjourned, and the plor lawyers have all gone into the 6nintry, where they can live cheaper and get a breath of fresh air, and wait till cooler weather enables them to come hack and pluck their clients with more comfort to themselve-. Altogether New York is a miserable dull place just now, and will be for the next two months. TILE CENTENNIAL Drew off its thousands from the city this week. All business was closed from Sat. urday at three to Wednesday morning, giving the New Yorker three good days to see the great show. It is estimated that forty thousand people from this city alone were in Philadelphia, enjoying the Ex pt sition, if any sight-seeing can he ca11.,1 enjoyment with the thermometer at 10-4 in the shade. The heat was intense. Members of military organizations in the grand procession dropped in the streets. and the suffering of the multitude that lined the streets was awful. The show was the biggest thing that ever took place in the 17nited States, except. perhaps, the New York procession. All the trades were represented, and the city was as gorgeous as could be. Every building. public and private. was profusely decora ted, and at night the city was one blaze of light. Such a display was never seen be fore, and never will be again for a hundred years. . . . . Speaking of the Centennial. don't delay your going. In September the city will be crowded, and if it is hot now, you have the advantage of more room to yourself. Yon can keep cool. You can get good board now, in that city fur 81 per day. which means good rooms and a good ta ble. At this rate you cm afford to g o slow, and take it leisurely. Don t think of staying away. It is the biggest thing that, will occur fur another century. There are miles upon miles of the finest works of art in existence— there are the best works in machinery and everything the world uses, from all the nations on the globe. and no one can afford to miss the education the view affords. Come, and come now. Come while the city is so empty that the landlords are anxious to see you, and will do something to make you comfortable. And come to stay a little while. Come prepared to see it all at your leisure, and be careful that you do see it all before you leave. TILE EVE OF INDEPENDENCY. The Fourth of July began the night be fore. Sunday and Monday passed off very quietly, the boys holding their crackers and fireworks in reserve, bat many of the shops gave their employees holiday from Saturday afternoon. About five in the af ternoon of Monday busine s s was virtually at an end. At nine in the evening Broad way was full of people, in the street and out of it as thick as they could :.tind. The denizens of the east side of New York that hide in their lodgings and workshops at all times save holidays, came qut, the Geramns with wife, children and baby. the It ish boys and girls, fleet-footed and fleeter tongued, and stood round. cheeful and porrpirtirz. ..r 4Tht 41ep+ aft.l till the _rear A.* shmsl,ll,zin an wvent 1,1 their I,v,s. :kg u m ... the nal f , r the vr,s _t. .•• buililin:-4 were , zay and e-littter wit'a Rat:. since Inornitvz, when I:r)a , iw !• if 311 the buittertheA nt the vr nr!.l hPi set. t1...1 np,n its tare in the situ.
