LETTER.

Thc ov;fhauling of the papers Of the
Auditors office has unearthed some unique
as well as dirty specimens Of petitions for
office, ard among others we find the following
from this place in a late number OF the Plea

very favorable impression at any rate it

Alas! all the doctors hopes OF getting his
clutches OH the ''purkesits' was not only
blasted but his modest request to return his
letter was refused or the matter neglected,
and Thus it fell into the hands of the Philis-
tines.
