thought Of nothing but to give him an,

others to be of squire Irish origin"-and to
have been applied in its original use to cold

in his Scottish Dictionary defines the word
"foggie or fogie," to be, first, an invalid or

secondly, a person advanced in life, self.

the genearI rule in the West Of carrying
Clergymen at half the usual rates. | beg
leave, in behalf Of the Company, to say. that
think there 10 no doubt but it will, in this
respect. be as liberal a. any other road in the
State. That the above common custom has
r'-'-''-' over since the openir~ &c ,,e,,,
until within few weeks back, wne" Nc"
act of rules wore adopted; and, probably
through the haste in which they were ex'
ahmed and n.ssaA- 'h.se ~Ss no notice ID
Ken Of the custom in question, either one way
or the other, and the Conductor. being gov
erned by the rules furnished him, has done his
duty in enforcing them. A new Board has
just been elected, before whom the subject
has not been brought. When it shall be laid
before them, feel confident of the adoption
of the old rule. Meantime the President'i
sickness and confinement to his house. hal
prevented his attention to the matter, or ever
the subject being submitted to his considers

liberal policy in Railroad carrying 90 obvi
ously to her advantage, that / am confdsn
of the adoption Of such policy.
