4 Edt so s.-Calch, III MS issue OF last lueE-
day, says that the story of the Rat in his paper
of the week before, was fabricated by himself
10 take in the editors who use his locals with-
moment doubted this being the fact, for we
know very well that he is nm adept at that kind
of business. But we did not think that he was
green enough 10 suppose that he could deceive
the fraternity so easily. He undertakes them
in our estimation, just about as much as he
does the community generally, when he hangs
out the following rat bait at the head Of his
paper:
p6y- The Dtldararc Gazette is he oldest estab-
lished paper; has a larger circulation than any
other paper an the State Of Deldware, and there
fore is he best medium for advertisers"
If the people are green enough to swallow
this bait, all we have to say is, go ahead but
the bait in his rat trap is too transparent to de-
ceive. II he conducts paper on the princi-
pie Of deception, let him crack his whip-the
rat bait didn't cntch us any more than the
1000 issue at the head of his Almanac bait
caught the public at large 1t is a democratic
doctrine to always tell the truth ii works we'll
before the public, never needs yindlcRting, and
is an ornament on q fellows tombstone.

fell on the deck of the boat without causing
