columns to page, each column consider

baskets, with three-bushel bags, and some
times with horses and wagons. From

Yours, TRULY.-We have received
letter from particular friend, of which
the following is an extract:
OIL CITY, Oct. 6, 1864.
Dear AHeqhanian II don't see knives men
toned in your "beneft' bill, but thinking
that perhaps one of Wostenholm's best would
prove not altogether unacceptable, take occa-
sion to celebrate the anniversary of the
'bornation' of The AHeghanian," the sixth, by
making the tender OF one, and send it with
the hope that The AHeg. may continue to live
on past q thousand years-and still live on!
Thank you thank you! We were
just out of knife when this was received,
and didn't exactly know where and how
to get another. Which renders the gift
dOubly valuable The failure to mention
pocket cutlery in the catalogue of things
by US receivable as "bene6t" was clear
oversight on our part, and does not pre-
vent US from being glad at the omission
being thus practically brought to our no.
tice. We would here say, that any of our
numerous friends" desiring to press
souvenir or gift upon our consideration
are not obliged to confne themselves to
the list of articles enumerated by us. On
the contrary, they are at liberty and are
hereby requested TO patronize list OF
their own, and make their own selections.
Again, thank you, kind friend thank
you for both the knife and the good wishes.
You are one of natures own noblemen,
and we are-yours, truly.
