THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
Sometimes the hills are white with
snow;
Sometimes the fields are brown and
bare :
And flocks of sombre-coated crows
Fly through the soft snd hazy air.
But, be there wind, or rain or shine,
Or mist snd mud, or sleet and hall,
Thanksgiving turkey's always fine ;
'Tie never known the aay to ran.
Though other birds have sweeter note
And grayer hue of feather.
The turkey always gets my vote
He comes, whato'er the weather !

Just so with paint Devoe lead and

wants the neck; the between, some one
says, is good enough for them.
But Devoe costs less, not more, than

Dear Kir : Being referred to you
by the Librarian of Congress In regard
to Snyder County records I write to
ask you concerning some of my an
cestors. I wish to find the records of the an
cestors of Michael Itoush who moved
from Madison burg. Centre Co., I'a., in
184!. Also of his wife, Eva Breau or
Breou (Bryan) whose father, George
B.', was in the Revolutionary War.
Her mother's name was Mary Hiuely,
who, 1 have heard, was of English des
cent. What information I have received
from relatives has been very vague.
They say the family (itoush) lived in
Snyder county before (Miming to Centre
county, which must have been in the
early part of the nineteenth century.
Have the complete Itev. War record
of Geo. Itoush who was bom in 1790)
but cannot find his relationship to Mi
chael. Thanking you in advance for
the favor of a reply and telling me
your charges, I am, Very sincerely,
Jkshie E. Roubh.
