L
Tro Hundred Dollars Repdrd.-I hereby
offer reward Of two hundred dollars, to
any person or persons, who will procure the
evidence that shall effect the conviction of
the infamous author or authors of the most
foul, atrocious and malignant ISLANDERS, cir
culaled regarding me, IN connection with
the deplorable and aiflicting dispensation
with which myself and family have recently
been visited. As if our hearts had not been
sufficiently lacerated, and the agony OF our
grief not rendered more deeply acute and
unbearable, the malicious tongues of wicked
and depraved minds have gloaied in their
flemish purposes in blasting my character
and reputation, and plunging heart broken
family in still deeper misery and distress
To all reports, Of whatever character, on all
and every aspect, give IA most positive and
emphatic denial, and pronounce them most
solemnly to be wickedly and atroeiously
false, without shadow To hinge upon, and
hut the emanations of some dastardly and to
me implaCable enemy.
To those kind friends who have so feeling
ly expressed their sincere sympathy in our
deep ailiction, we tender our most heartfelt
thanks, assuring them that their kindness
has lett an impression which, whilst memory
lasts, can never be eiTaced
! feel conscious that shall have the best
wishes of all good people, that the foul Sian
derers, whose tiendish attempts to blacken
and blast the reputation of IA fellow citizen,
may be brought to that punishment their in.
famous conduct deserves.
