is with reluctance that we say Goodbye"
to a number of dead heads, who have been
taking our paper for two years without pay
ing a cent. We part with them more "in.
sorrow than auger;" but We can't afford ans
longer to give them our paper and our labor
for nothing Those who have squared up old
balanceslof- thespast, and given US substantial
consideration for the future. are the ones who
cheer the pathway of the Printer, aud furn-
ish the only pabulum by which newspapers
can live in these. degenerate days of dollars
and cents. T6 such. we return our .kindest
obligations, aud hope there are many others
on our list; who will say each to himself.

The Incorporation Meeting.

Pursuant to the a adjournment of a meeting
OF the Inhabitants of Gharlestuwn, held on
De 3Oth uitimo, our citizens again assembled,
last Saturday evening, for the purpose of dis
cussing the Charter OF incorporation, reported
to the former meeting by the committee pre-
viously appointed to draw it. CIcon Moore,
ESQ, being elected Chairman, and ST. Geo.
7. Brooke, Secretary, the former, after call
the meeting to order, proceeded to read
the Charter. section by section. thar all persons
having objections to make, or amendments to
offer. might have an opportunity for SO doing.
During the discussion upon the first section,
defining the corporate limits, Mr.. BENZ Tom
linson was called upon to exhibit the plat of
the town. drawn by himself, and which. with
some notifications, was finally adopted us a
substitute fer the first section. Mr.. Tomlin-
son was also appointed to wait upon Mr..
Howell Brown, aud request him to survey the
lines marked out by Mr.. Tomlinson's amended
plat, aud to return his survey, with G written
description of it, to the committee for ipcor
porstinn into the Charter in lieu of the first
section. Alter this had been finally agreed
upon, the entire Charter, with two alterations,
was adopted by the almost unanimous vote of
the meeting. One of these alterations gave
to the Couicil the power to sell the corpora
tion bonds only, for their par rdlue with not
more than s per cent. interest, instead of for
eighty cents in the duiiar as originally pros
vided by the Charter. The other alteration
merely struck out the word constable, which
was never intended to be printed, in enumerat.
ing the duties of town sergeant. The meet
ing then adjourned.
