Of news from this place might not be
wholly uninteresting to your numerous
readers, propose to furnish them with
such as | have, trusting that If they do
notinterest your readers, you will be par
doned for giving them place in your coll
umns. And should any one feel sorely
aggrieved at the selection or style Of my
items, they should recollect, before passing

not only hail from small, obscure village, |
but am very humble, commonplace in
individual, entirely without the polish Of
education. No one can place lower es-

their owninterests "keep the muddy pool

things will most apply. The past political
history Of our country points It out plain

ry. You are at liberty to term II whatey-
er suits you best and will remain salts
