To CoRREsroNDENTs.-Ou correspOn-
dents in different portions of the country,
must not think i'll Of us, because we some
times fail to publish their letters in full
1t frequently happens that we are com
| PEELED to economize our space, and this
usually occurs on Thursday and Friday,
when our letters from dilrerents points are
coming in. In order, therefore, not to omit
any of them altogether, we sometimes run
our pencil through paragraph or two IN
each letter. This enables US to give the
| greater portion OF all. We make this eX-
! PLANTATION for the reason that we 10 not wish
any Of our correspondents to suppose
we are in any way displcased with the
| characters Of letters that they write.

and the country. We are informed that
many persons who have used Other ma
chimes are abandoning them altogether,
and that they are willing TO furnish cGrtif-
Gates to this effect whenever the agents
wish 1t. In a few days we understand that
a number OF these certificates from some OF
our well known citizens will be prepared,
ia which the working qualities Of the
! Weed Machine aud its peculiar excellon-
cics over all others in use, will be fully set
forth. Honorable dealing with the public

prOprietors aud agents Of the machine in
question, have acted on this principle from
the beginning, and intend to do so IN the
future. BE certain to call aud examine the
Weed before buying elsewhere.
