may hope for his return some time in

the oldest families in our midst. Mr.
Pilger has been seriously ill for a year
or more but has miraculously arisen
from what was considered by our
people as his death-bed, and with
good prospect of outliving many who
had felt that their old and valued
friend would ere this have passed
away. With Friend Pilger it was
evidently the survival of the fittest,
and the Northwestern and the people
generally will hope that he may live
to the ripest of old ages and that he
may again return to us with his
estimable family to end his days here.
