The first number of that vcrv in-
tcrcsting and tidy newspaper, Stray
Leaflets, published i'll Your city and |
received ut this post Office about a |
week ago, came very near having to
be responsible for an exceedingly sad |
and hcart-rending catastrophe here.
The article,

(picked up just inside the iron fence,
and published in said paper), is pro-
by girl in this place to be

up, as stated, just inside the iron
fence" We will not question the
statement as 10 authorship, or how
they became i'll possession of it, but
are constrained to believe, had the
cditresscs known the hub-bub it
would kick up, and how near the
