The speech was able and made great I'm
preston. But it is long time since nave
heard q speech more seriously impugnsd
in regard to its prudence and wisdom. no

and when within two miles OF his own
house, Mr.. Crotty was fred at from coPse
in an angle at the turn of the road. I'm, me

p. N. Mr.. Crotty scrambled OH the car,
and was brought by the country people; 10

are unable to give more local detail, be-
