New York, March 10, 1870.
Just as fruitless in this lion of the
cities, are all our endeavors to CLEAN an
item of news, as in our own quiet village
in Vermont.

but they are captured for the city press
as soon as they have being. Perhaps the
recital of a News Makers labor would be

columns. Last weck,a little ,swarthy spare
man, thinly clad, with little roll of pa
pers in an oil cloth wrapper, under his
arm, came to my room with an open let

letter Of introduction from one of the AL

little gentleman, whose gun-lock checks
