Salem, Oct, sth. 1874.
PEN sKErcHEs oE THE HOUSE.

/ will endeavor in this chapter, tc
give few sketches of the gentlemen
comprising the Representative corps
Of the Lower House.
There being three score Of them, il
is difficult for modest and reticent
person like myself to become &C.
quainted with them, hence my notes
must necessarily be brief. To take
them alphabetically appears the best
and most feasible way of disposing
OF the procession, hence we will sail
in on our b c's.
