Nr Thomas Of Maryland, having done
good thing IN company Wi,h Mr. Kelley
Of Pennsylyqnia, in gouirg or with

exposed to a good deal Of plqndering in
She clothes tiey wear aud the tools they
work with, can not afford TO mine copper
unless they are allowed torroB their pro-

fair share was fifteen per cent, and when
Mr.. Thomas demutfed and spid eve per
