WHAT DIR. LEE DOES WITH CICARs.--Some
unknown person recently left at the residence of
onr worthy contemporary, DIR. Lee of the Rich
monl Christian Advocate, box of Cigars, and
the Dr.,traring there was some mistake about it,
says This. therefore, is to give notice that if
mistake made, the owner had better send
and take them away right early We have
way of dspo>ing of such things by putting fire
to one end, and a mouth, of pretty considerable
capacity for drawing at the Other Very sen
sbe disposition; but Reverend catempo-
rary entirely too scrupulous-much more
SO than editors generally are. He should have
taken it for granted that all was right, and set
that high-pressure drawing apparatus Of his at
work to the full extent of It's capacities. But as
the DR.. seems rather fastidous about the matter,
we authorize him to puff away with all his might,
aud if any one comes to cain the cigars he may
give an order on us. frequently receive
them when there is no mistake.
