syto his family and himself obhge him to the
undertaking.
AT an advanced period of life, but with a
constitution unimpaired by any excesses-with
anumeroas family dependent on him alone, he
says he finds from his books of account that
there is due to him ~ ,ooC dollars for. value de.

from thegoyernment of tho, United States. OF
this enormous sum, he cannot collect, owing
