Last Call,

Mr. Gay who has spent few days in this place and
taken some of the most beautiful Daguereoype like
nesses ever exhibited IN this village, will positively
leave next week. This is rare chance for all who
may wish for most perfect likenesses. Let no one
sonabe and his work is far superior to any thing of
the kind we have ever seen. He has also taken some
beautiful views of the State House, and of our village;
they are well worth the trouble of visiting his room,
over Bancroft and Riker's store, to see them.

Their tactics AMI tools were all short sighted and

their kind was this--they could NOT get at he enemy.
They pushed thousands Of their foes into eternity IN
the points of their bayonets; their cannon fenced The
plains of Abraham with windows Of dead men; but
they never killed an enemy. Enemies are as immor-
tai as any malignant spirits, and you might as well

CHIN, but 10 his honor be ii recorded, the temptation
was not too strong for his manly virtue and integrity.
No selfish desire to secure the freedom Of a darling
son, or to render his own situation more free from
danger, could induce him To betrsy a companion in
trouble. No man Of sound principle can read the
letter Of Craig, knowing at the same time what an
swer was given to it by the fugitive, without feeling
contempt for the former, and admiration for the noble
conduct of the latter. The slave was certainly most
