IDENTIFY felt-when Writing-that be had been
badly "bull-dozed" by them. He shows
right at the start where the shoe pinched
him. His superior diligence and industry

whose field Of editorial operations according
to his own statement, which Is doubtless
true, has extended over and included Du-
puque, Iowa, St. Louis, San Francisco and

contrary known here, have even included
Milwaukee on Willamette. Reflect, we saw,
on the feelings that must have agitated the
fOrty-two inch heart of this "diligent and
industrious" editor, who had taken notes at
will from the minate books of clerks at all
the above mentioned placss-when, at little
rural village, he was - arrogantly " refused
such privilege till the Board had finished it's
work. Is it to be wondered a., that the
q superior, diligent and industrious " editor
found a vent for his wounded feelings in bis
ever ready pencil. and enriched the literature
of the country by the publication that ap-
pearei in the last Union. headed " County
