He moved the house over muck fields six and seven feet deep, where he used to hunt ducks twenty-five fears ago, where people thought never could be crossed by anything so heavy as a house. Some people said he never could come across the muck, but he did without any trouble whatever, so the impossible has been accomplished. Some of the railroad boys had a regular jubilee Saturday night.
