had met with the misfortune to lose his
large travelling ,runh from behind the

OF the company, he says, was despatched
in search OF it.
The Col. and Gov. d. have continued
on their way 10 Illinois, and will probably

Being satisfied from observation and
experience, as well as from medical tes-
ljmony that ardent spirits as drink is
not only needless but hur,iul, and that the
entire disuse of il would tend TO promote
the health, the virtue. and happiness Of
the community, we hereby express our
conviction that should the citizens of the

they would not only promote their own
personal benefit, bu, the good of their
country and the world.
