anything pertaining 10 ind tferenism, and assur-
ances that we are not vet buried in the ashes of
the past but our delay of further !etterment is
ascrihablc TO very just causes. which are, that
we have been absent from home Hor n very con-
siderable period, and hence, (hot having the
iwo-fod faculties Of II clairvoyaht,) WAS unac-

our good Old Snssafras Neck and since our re-
turn home, and when rejecting, we are really al
most aifrighled AT The very rapid flight time does
make these, and we may add too-a litlc in

of excuses and We will here cease, feeling assur-
ed that
