by the Governor to perform special service for
short time. Bat for the kindness Of a few
friends who are exempt from service, and who
volunteered their aid the halt leaf printed

their posts, when we hope TO resume and con-
tinue uninterrupted our full sized sheet.
There is no news of moment from any
quarter.
