II proposes to enrich, the encouraging |
response to which it is Justly entitled,
aud Notwithstanding that the MINER
gas and perplexing, and irritating, OBJ
stneles which it has met, have in no
small degree turned the thoughts and
sympathies of many in another direc-

ed that this original purpose is still the
faverite one of the Stockholders. But. !

Rutland will be speedily located and
placed under contract, is rendered very
certain The determination of the in
