TO THE PUBLIC.

"AVING been summoned to appear before
il IL Justice of the Peace, for retailing wood,
contrary to one of the ordinances of the Cor
poration, which provides that the measurer shall
measure the same; and in consequence of his
not attending until late hour of the day, OBJ
tanned his permission to measure the same by
paying him his legal fees-and at the time wood
was selling at high price;-I, in order to al
leviate the sufferings of the poor, sold mine at
the reduced price of So per cord to those who
seemed able to buy cord, and fifty cents per
third to those were unable to buy cord
which must convince any candid mind that
lucre was not my only object.
AS am to attend this day at the Office upon
the presentment of the Wood Measurer, barely
for trying to ameliorate the condition of suffer-
ing humanity, hope the good citizens of this
town will delay calling upon me until 2 O'Clock,
