be largely identified with the town in any
manner, took it upon himself 10 encourage
a poor cripple to engage in law suit with

NOTES HERE AND THERE.

Tue most sloppy column OF nonsense ana
misrepresentation ever printed is to be
found in the Geneseo Republic OF this
week, in regard to the violation OF the
game law. THE ARGUS favored the en-
forcement of the law The Republic rep
resents us as opposed to its enforcement
which is untrue. THE ARGUS was post
ed as to the law, and needed no instruction
from the Republic. THE ARGUS knew
where the fines should go,-and it knew
also, that the fees did not take the same
direction

and most of them are disrgreeable ones.
