they who use them should be particularly

to us day or two since by friend resi-
ding in this city. An open box of matches
lay in the fireplace of the room in which
he was sitting. He heard the whizzing
sound of a burning match, and, on turning
to look, he found that pet squirrel had
taken match and had bitten it at the CONF
position end. "Fizz !" went the match,
and the squirrel, whisking his bushy tail,
bounded away with establishment, but I'M

again. A match was given to the animal,

the debtors to newspaper publishers to consider
their demands as the last to be paid--debts to
which there is attached moral obligation, and
which they can refuse to pay with Justice and
