rather inclined 10 think this rumor incorrect.
We do not believe that i, is his fate to be either
hung or shot however much he NAV deserve both.
O. TxxrsaAScr AppRsss.-On our 6rst page
our readers will find parts Of the address OF the
State Temperance Convention. which assembled
at Harrisburg a shor, time since. The conven.
tion having requested its publication, we furnish
our readers with the most important parts, not
having sufficient room for the entire address.

many persons have abandoned these stoves en-.
,irely. One extensive stove dealer informed us
that in many cases. the columns thsough which
the heat and gas descends, have been eaten

stoves sustained any Pereepiible injury from :hs

may be. The judges Of the court, and the peo
pie, we know. are opposed to the removal.
