Messrs. ---, ----, Of him. We do not know what
confidence to place in such statement. Ii Seems
strange TO suppose that gentlemen occupying re-

selves thus to be made use of. We give this there
fore, without being at all impressed with its ae-
cnracy. Moultons also known as Langfeldt. He
is from % to rs years of age, feet or B5 thin
