como to town and be bank director, aud o
government bond holder, and, q politician,
aud member Of congress, and manager Of
auairs rbthc ignpranuses Of the county
in general? Don't h, know that VIC OF
bloomsbury manage all the nominations to
office, and contrivc to secures a good portion of
them for ourselves? And why does he COM
plain Of the high price of butter and chick
ems. when he knows as well as he knows what
good buckwheat -four is, that we arc per-
iecdy willing to relieve his spring house or
his. henloost, without any trouble to himself;
and that being. on most occasions iatigued
with our arduouslabors, we do practice this
sort OF thing among ourselves and those
farmers who are not too far distant sec
tho advantages to the County of such q town
as Bloomsbury What is more, We are "a
great advantage to ourselves: as well a 5 to

if we We're to get up a project for erecting q
poor-house so that he would have to pay q
portion Of the tax, He has no soul for
enterprise. When the huckster comes along
and offers him +5 ceuts for his butter while
we are paying forty in Bloom, he refuses, in
opposition to all the well known laws of trade
to carry the article to, Us, but sells it to the
wretchcd picker up OF inconsidcrable trdes,
who maliciously conveys it to the. place
where it will bring the highest price,, He
complain of feeding US! He's mistaken. :
The boarding house of your humble cores,
pondent has not had butter fora week, and
all because this "Countryman'' and his fal.
lows''niW carry it to Miflinville or Buckhorn,
or Slabtown, or some other place, wbere
more is paid for the article than in Biaoui.
I'VE think that when "Countryn.anl come;
to reaect,hat this is his own. county seat
that the officers, aud most of tho lawyers
and good many preachers and few doc
tors, and many of the 9 first families y live
here that this is-in short, that ,this i.

from the fruits of his labor to the building
up Of our noble village, thus securing tt
himself quiet conscience, and greatly en-.
