pressed upen Us by the disi3ntions which
have Of late prevailed at N.7O It5fk. The

fallen out; and whether it be, that like

many other partners, they have GRADED so
successfully ttlat they ar grown too proud
Of each other, and each wants to have his
name first in the firm, SO it is that they
have parted, and are now scuh;sg hard
