A GREAT FEAST

The citizens Of Richmond are in hiub olee all
parties have united in determination TO feast The
members OF the Legislature, on the account Of
the passage OF the James River and Canawha
Canal bill, the Scottsville Road bill, and other
measures. which will pour the agricultural wealth
of the State into that city. The Richmond folks
may well be grateful. but it will be rather an
expensive dinner TO the State.
