which we think WAS entirely uncalled for, and
made in no comnendable spirit. II certainly was
uncnllcd FOR, if il he true, as tho Mercury AYERS
that the edition Of the Woodstock publication is

very large edition las large us ever we printedl is
nearly all sold, although not published TIL several

too has been eolnplimcned by the public press
for which weteuder our hunks and thanks, too
do we tender to the people, who have generously

appreciation Of this sort OF compliment 10y contin-
