A CARD.

Having seen the statement of Miss Fannie
Fewell, made before Recorder Scner, in Fredcr-
icksburp, in regard to the Clark affair, in which
she SAYS that she was inform ed by me that Mr.
Clark had been divorced from his wife, hereby
most positively declare that the said statement
is without the slightest foundation; that never
gave Miss Fewell the slig htcst intimaton of such
a thing; that had never been informed that he
had been divorced that | knew nothing of the
affair whatever and that | saw nothing at any
time in the conduct of either Mr.. Clark or Miss
Fewel calculated to arouse the suspicious of
any one. IEoEd1 HiNsoN.
Prince Witlians County, to acit:
Personally appeared before me l.. B. Butler,
Justice of the Peace for the said county, Georgy
Hynson, and made oath in due form OF law that
the shove statement is true and correct.
Given under my hand this It'll day of Septem-
Der, 1872. l.. b. BUTLER, ). T.
We the undersigned, do certify that we were
staying at the house of Mr.. g. l.. Hynson, in
Manassas most, if not all, of the time, that Mr.
James F. Clark was boarding there; that we
never at any time saw anything in the conduct
of either Miss Jewell or Mr.. Clark calculated to
arouse the suspicious of any one; that Miss Few
ell sometimes visited there, but that nothing
ever transpired at any time while at Mr. Hyn-
sons unbecoming lady and gentleman to our
knowledge and that we think if anything wrong
had been going on we would have discovered 1t:
We make this statement in justice to Mr.. and
Mrs. Hynson, whom we believe to be innocent
of any knowledge of the unfortunate Clark and
Jewell affair. MoLL1E ID. w EEDoN.

Finding the proper place, he ran his eye
and finger up and down the column two or
three times. until he was thoroughly salts
fed that the word in question was not
there.
Closing the book with slam, the judge
laid his specs on the table, and rising slow
ly, broke forth
"Well, sir have always been a Daniel
Webster man, and voted for him for Presi-
dent but any man that will write as big
a dictionary as this, aud not put as com.
