selves in an atmosphere and on soil thunder
GUS and earthquaky with the agitation of the
spirit of Abolition.

contriyed way of recovering stolen dogs,
which is at least ingenious. He advertises for

he has not offered any reward himself, does not
pay any.

BE The coolest thing yet. A fellow calling

from Jersey City few months since, after
robbing the proprietors of the DAILY Times of
large amount of money, and "going through"
several coniding people here by borrowing
and forgetting to pay.--[Jersey City Times.
