to come in. As usual with this period
gloomy reports of caterpillars and worms
come in also; but many Of these reports
though they may not be got up to influence
the price, are piled. on by 'repeaters' for
that purpose. Hence, the streets filed

Unsettled politics and future uncertainty
shut off investment in any but well regu-

"No respectable banking firm does any
business in the summer, was the sentiment
of one.
"Not thing doing" calculated the gov

they first got to be voters. They're getting |
educated very fast. Ways that are dark |
and tricks that are vain are common, and !
in an election for delegates the way they
stuff box is a caution"

low places of some adjacent cOtfeehOuse.
'Inever kneW one yet who knew any
thing about water. They get into diff
lence on the mention Of a hydrant, and to /

A short time after that the briehess bar

The Liberal party is the offspring of Re
ublicanism uniting over the bloody
