During the past summer we were at
tackled by q very nasty paper at Chilli
SOthe, and the dirty slang was copied
with approval by Mr.. Alfred Jingle of
Portsmouth, and Mr.. Simon Tapperlit,
aud Mr. Daniel Quilp, (Jim Aleshire),
Of Jackson,
To show the public how the Chilli.
cothe Register and its pretended editor
are regarded at home, we copy the fol-
lowing articles from tho Chillicolhe
Gazette, now edited by Mr.. Smith, q
gentleman:
"If to have been resident OF Chilllc0thc hut q

HUnable TO refnte our statements In regard ia
the terrible effects OF tho old bed aud kindred
nuisances, the Register falls TO abusing us per.

OF sometimes "angweIing fool according 10 his
