soon breakfast was announced. This style
of sleeping and eating strongly reminded
Fus of our army experience, with the cX-

weighed anchor, steamed up, and started

AT half-paSt 6 o'clock, everybody highly
delighted with the trip. The steamer was

gentlemen and all others on the excursion
we return thanks for many tavors.
To OUR PATRONS.-We are requested by
the Manchester agent of this paper to say
that he will call on his patrons this week,
and wishes them L. be able to settle their
Indebtedness, as longer indulgence cannot
be given. People who work for individuals
or corporations, and who are not paid rcsu'
larly, complain, and with justice, but they
=, hould recollect that the ncwsman is moi

otc"u' ., n knowledge our agent ha
10 W our ~ celta,P money for some months t.
been borrowing sots. Is it just that h
meet his engagemciH 20 borrow, not onl,
should be compelled sA, also 10 nav to
to support himself, but nnle, W,De,

must be had, and as 1t is easier Spay for offe
weeks or one months papers than for two,
/ he earnestly requests that all that can will
pay weekly, and that no one will allow his
bill to run over a month. He makes this
request in all kindness. He does not doubt
the responsibility of any of his patrons !;
but that does not enable him to meet his
engagements and TO satisfy his business
and private creditors. He has often eX-
pcricnCcd the kindness and generosity ot
the people OF Manchester and vicinity, and

has ever characterized their dealings with
him
