LETTER FROM NEWARK.

JUNE lO3 lcoi'
Mr.. Enron: The scarcity of news must be
my apology for not having Newark represent
ted in your columns the past two or three
weeks. The clerk of the weather has had ev-
cry thing his own way, his dampening influence
having tendency to keep our inhabitants
within doors, where the sole topic OF their
conversation is the expected arrival OF as
tinguished stranger, whose coming has peeh
looked for with great anxiety, but as yet the
comet has not seen proper to crafty the exist,
ing curiosity. In the event Of his arrival, ana
the fuss which he is expected to create, we
have q set-constituted committee OF pubic
safety who for the small sum Of twenty hTe cts,
propose to furnish certificate, which the
comet is expected to respect, but according 10
the last report of the treasurer the receipts are
not satisfactory to the committee, our villagers
pretering to invest their loose quarters in the
purchase OF the delicious creams when our
townsmen, Messrs. Kennady and Casho, are
ever ready to supply.
perceive by perusal of your paper, that
our county has been well represented OF late
by correspondents from different sectlohsi
