DoEs THE END JUsTIrx THE MEANS q
II was surmised that Mr.. F. w. Ro-
sier, committed recently to trial for
forgery in this city, must have been
addicted to lottery speculation. We
learn since, that he used to send most
of his means to help an aged parent
who was blind. Even this, though i
highly laudable act, does hot justify
forgery Or dishonesty bfany kind.

Between 1851 and 1856, the tolls e.

And during that period very little coal
was shipped, The tolls came chiefly
from salt With the navigation improy-
