similar testimony, which was further
corr oborated by figure, whose sym

Nsture-or of Art-whichever was en-
titled to the credit of it.
He boarded with Mrs. Nothermann,
q respectable widow, who furnished
accommodations to few frst-class
single gentlemen, partly for the sake
of society, and partly-not.
Mr.. Sercleaf was man of steady
habits. He had taken up his abode
with tile widow on first coming to the
