sented quite "vinegary aspect" at first.

We saw an old woman at the Mayors
Office yesterday, who had apparently passed
three score years and ten. She was worn
with age and bent almost double. Desti-
tute and decriped, she was seeking trans
portation to other parts, where among ac-
quaintances of other days she hopes to
find, if nothing more, a ''little earth for
charity's sake" Transportation was pro-
cured, and we hope the feeble old woman
may find resting place on reaching her
destination.
