County, ( Putham) that Col. r. +. Harvey,
our delegate n the last legislature, voted
against the bil making an appropriation
toward the completion Of the Coyington
and Ohio Railroad. which is so absurd
and prepostribus, that no one, for one mo.

is very compatible with the character Of
some who belong to the secret society.
whose membersare required to take a sol.

such a society. The standing Of these
