DEAR BENNETT-
At last, after impatiently waiting for several
weeks, we have received the decision in our me-
morable, and l might say, deplorable bond case
That decision says, that we must pay up, and ]
suppose the quicker the better. Thus after years
OF litigation, at expense of thousands Of dollars,
instead of making ourselves any better olive have
only effected our entrance into deeper water than
ever And l can assure you that water is hot
enough to be more than comtortable-and il you
had the opportunity OF Witnessing the crlnging,
sqalrming and CHASTITY looks OF those who have
nvoluntarly been plunged into this pool OF extrac-

same opinion. To say the least Of it, it seems
rather unjust to duck or pluck mankind without
first gaining their assent thereto.
Our editor and our M G: elect, are on the virge

Since writing the above, have learned that
city meeting will be held on Friday next to pro-

which this is to be done is by voluntary taxation
