her proportion to the tax; but during peace, and for q
limited period. snd in the absence Of all machinery in
Ireland for collection, he should prefer to raise the quota

 H'chdrdson's Biners.-Of the numerous medicines which are advertised in our paper from time to time, we pretend to know but littiether virtues must be known only to those who have used them. But with Dr. s. Q. Rlchardson's Btters we are somewhat ac. gualnted. These Bitters were used in our family 'as' summer TOT general debility and headache, and much relief was derived from them.
