It gripped my youthful heart strings with a super-sized content, which never has forsook me through the journey I have went,- and the most profoundest pleasures which I now and then enjoy, is to conjure back them visions, which I looked on when a boy, an' to jes' monopo lize 'em, as a feller will, you know, that loves the old log lire-place of the precious long ago Boardman's new industry, the I luUkius oi it's i heese, is an assured fact, the first of the prod act being turned out on Monday, and will be on the market in six weeks which is the time required for curing.
