We owe an apology Cor not noticing in last the
ANTI Masonic lntellgencer, paper recently estab
lshod ia Hartford, under the cdiI"r-sp Of as n. D..
Strong, formerly Royal Arch Mason. The name
indicates what the character ofthamper is Inc. The
only fault we find with il is the editor speaks of his
concern as 'sFrec Press" distinguished ir"m all
other presses which are exclusively devoted the
cause Of anti-maaunry. This, say the least Of it,
vors little Of sel-suficieney. Every who es,ab-
fishes press for any definite object, might as well
rail against the rest ohe world Cor coincdng

one or two papers inthe OF like character with
hist would destroy all the novelty of the business
and even send il begging in less than tx months.

"A letter from an undoubted source, dated San Fell
pc De Austin, in the province Of Texas, August l3
1928, says; "Tsaac B. Desba is no more. He died in
confinement in this village, charge for numbering
his fellow traveller on the La Bacha river between

A man lately killed at Syracuse, N. Y. in con-
sequence Of horse runningsover him. With that
reckless daring which characterses most drdnkards,
he thrust himself before the horse, and fell
victim to the madoess Of his noxication. Ifall
the instances Of premature death, occasioned by in
temperance, were collected together, it would pre-
