Golden Leaf Tobacco,-done up in mem
branaeeous bags without seams, and so
carefully sealed, stamped and labelled as
to leave every thing like doubt about its
genulneness quite out of the question:
But 1t may be asked, how came we by this
Meerschaum and this Tobacco for it is
generally known that editors cannot of
themselves attain such luxuries. We an
swcr we came by them fairly and honestly.
Our Meerschaum and Tobacco were pre-
sented to US by friend-and that friend,
gentle reader, is no less parsonage than
that prince of good fellows, j. Patton
Thompson, Esq, of the Quaker city. Oft
as we indulge in our Meerschaum and
Tobacco, will we think of the munifcent
donor from whom we received them. Nav

place and vicinity, on Saturday afternoon
last, celebrated the birth of the New Year,

IMPORTANT TO PosTMAsTERs.-Post
masters are reminded that the sending Of
notices to parties having letters detained
for non-payment of postage, is at all times

presumed where large numbers of unpaid
letters are deposited by the same person,
especially if that person be lottery deal

cuars, addressed to them by cunning op-
orators in the lottery business.
