    Mrs. John Otter had the misfortune a few days ago as she was running to the mail box, to fall and break one or two of the bones of her left hand. As a consequence John has had two or three very strenuous days making bread and taking care of the baby. However, the tension is much relieved, as Mrs. Otter's broken bones are knitting and her sister is assisting with the housework.
