lty that Mr. John +. Hutchings, whose plantation
lies on the outskirts of the city, is very much an
nOyed by the continued loss of hogs and cattle.
Mr.. Hutchinga is a loyal, law-abiding citizen

there can be no reason for complaint by them on
account OF ratlons, for the government deals t.
them the very best.
We sincerely regret that such things occur amt
