The price paid originally for the barn was $3500. It has been rented at $300 per annum. The property will undoubtedly increase in value and be worth more than was paid for it but it might be better to part with it and pay off the indebtedness as the Bishop suggested. By selling off the property the debts would be nowhere. Should he live until the end of the year they will owe very little. The Sisters are anxious to see the Bishop. Their fair opens that night. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
