using vigilance and activity in enforcin, 1o-
and order.
Judging from bill we noticed posted ro,,n,,
town yesterday, over the signature of the Pro.
vost Marshal, We incline to the OPINION that
order and sobristy will characterize the camn
hereafter
We saw the following ridiculous communica'
ton in an exchange few days ago and were
tempted to publish it then. 1t having turned
up before US again our readers will pardon us
for yielding to the temptation. 1t hits Old
Abe and his rotten government all over and is
one of the most appropriate addresses that
could be made to the old rail splitter:
