DefaciDg HandbilIs

There appears to be desire on the
part of certain portion Of Young
America" in this place, to deface and
tear down hardbills which may be
chung upon the outer walls" of our
town. This nuisance should, and we
trust will be abated. Those who GO
to the expense and trouble of circu-
lating handbills should not be subject
ed to the annoyance. Some of these
juveniles are not aware, perhaps, that
by defacing these bills, they may pos
sibly get themselves into trouble.

The Doylestown Democrat says.
We have not been 50 we'll pleased for
some time, as when we heard that our
old friend Ingham Coryell, Esq, of
Lambertville, New Jersey, had been
appointed an Assistant Quarter Mas
ter in the United States Army. Mr..
Coryell, to his integrity and ability,
adds fno business capacity, and If the
Government wants good deal of
work done promptly and at the same
time done well, let them intrust it to
the hands of Captain Coryell. We
hope to see him placed in a RESPONSE
BILE position and Quarter Master
General Meigs will do well to have
his eye on him.
