causing great fright to the passengers,

this paper, where he may obtain a good

the foregoing, will say, think George B.
Mansur of Montpelier will be very likely to
have them On hand, as he edited the Ten

have them, John Marsh of New York, for
many years Secretary of the American
Temperance Union, will without doubt fur
nish any quantity or variety of documents,
