whom we have had occasion to love and
befriend. When Mr.. swiggett went to
Connersvillc to start a paper. we did
all we could u help him TO subscribers
and public favor. We expected to
lose a few subscribers by the cstab-
lishment Of as good paper there as
we hoped he would conduct, but this
we did not regard. We had known
him from childhood. and we thought
we might safely recommend him. and
we did so in every way in our power.
Nor do we now regret IL. though for
some three months or more. he has
not issued number Of his paper
without directly or indirectly calling
Us liar and other epithels equally
gcntlemanly and kind. We do not re-
greet our kindness TO him. though IL Is
thus requitted, for we intended IL for
good. though Il now promises to be
for evil.
But shortly after he went there the

Some months ago he attempted 10
increase his subscription list by the
sale Of lottery tickets, making each re-
ceipt a lottery ticket as soon rs tao
thousand tickets are sold. q number
that he never expects TO sell In twenty
years. This Il so much the greater
fraud. M he induces some TO take his
paper In hopes Of drawing a prize,

Getting tired Of our indifference, he
