wherein, both the publishers Of this ipurrnl
and some Others, receive quota Of thcan'c
characteristic Of that print, and the scribe
who furnishes the statements. We doubt
il any one expects 10 see truth coming
from that source at any time, but in this
instance, just for the fun Of the thing, we

in the article.

fully thus far, We would suggest that he
