 A PRovois FAREwELL.-Capt 1. II. Bron. ley Editor of the Norwich Bulletin, and Pro- vost Marshal of the Sd district. has retired from that bed of roses, the marshalshp, and thus makes his bow:
 The Provost Marshal who does his duty need not expect grateful people to rise ur unani- mously and call him blessed every morning before !}ieakfast The retiring officer has the satisfaction of knowing that in the discharge of duties eminently calculated to make eve rybody hate you" he has met with the most cheering success.

 tricts who "have the rheumatism very bad il wet weather" and "have never been yer
 we'll since the war broke out, to the anxiou
 parties who have for the past three or fou
 weeks waylaid him in the streets and opened
 their attacks wtt1 dreadful series of {" s'po

 sort to the mild hammered men who could
 understand it, and to those rough spoken peo
 pie who know all about it," to these and to
 all of them he bids fond and affectiorate
 farewell. We presume they are pleased with
 the change. He certainly is.
