are some data which have yet to come into
his hands
Gov. Walkers official correspondence

always after this style. Charles Schroeder

- Being out in the country we had not
the pleasure of hearing the temperance ad-
dress of Prof Carlisle. A gentleman of in
telligence told us that he had heard Gen.
Carey, Judge O'Neall, and other temperance

interest in the matter, must "wait for the
wagon" The next report may tell the tale.

Nicholas Longworth, who was, in his native
State, a shoemaker, practiced law on his re-
moval to that city during the years between
1904 and 1920. He once received as le-
gal fee for defending horse thief, two Sec
