selves on the cause of this failure.

with both wife and daughter.
The Reporter says that the ''junior' is
father to the ''senior, and measures 6:2

asked for terms, and was told that $40
was the lowest. 'Why, said he, 81 can
get it done for S., at the other Office" He

have examined it, filed with much of the
ssme kind of statistical matter as when COM
piled under Mr.. Greeley's supervision. We
then placed implicit confidence in Its aceu-
racy. We know no reason why it may not

ate. Mr.. P. is too well knewn in this COM
munity for successful charging him with
mutations Of common decency.
