to recover, the amount Of certain fee
bills which he held agaiest q slippery
citizen, residing in a nei ghboring caun-

there was sure to be some obstacle to the
payment of the amount due; and thus,
from time to time, the settlement was
deferred, until our clerk began TO be-

that was ever invented. This valuable inven.
tion has been in use nearly two years, and Il
now extensively employed in nearly every
State in the Union. 1t is equally well adapted
to the washing of the largest as well as the
