on. upon arriving here.
Within a stone's. throw of the mill,
pond, George -Murray spent many
boyhood hours fishing and catching
frogs along' the pond and knew well
where to find 'em.
Thereby 'hangs a tale.
Mr. Murray recalls how one day
he was on the pond, when Dr. Gar -

doctor, will well understated that.

had a premonition oft sudden death

drowning in the weeds, and the bull -

'But the Doctor had no such in-

George assured him he could fill
