be a County by itself The only advantage TO be
derived from this. far as we can gather from lis

the County Towns of Erie OF their present power
over the Buffalo Locos We don't consider this
certain by good deal. But let US have Single Dis

Courier anxiety for a new County will in good part
be obviated.
