the freight and dfayage, with orders that
the articles may be sent to a. Society street.
But they came not, and we learned as we
passed through the market with one of the

PROPRIETOR Of the store for his own use, and
that the names of the parties were only
used to secure transportation. The money
paid for freight and charges had not been
refunded, when with our friend we crossed
