PERsoXAI--Mr. VIM. Heltzel, editor ofthe
Hanover Citizen, with Mr.. Cauffman, called
on us on Thursday.
Mr.. p. II. Bittinger one of the editors of
the Hanover Herald, also visited us on Thurs
day. The Herald is a good paper, bat it will
appropriate locals from the ADVOCATE with
out giving credit. However, its excellence is
in a great measure owing to the articles it
republishes from oar columns, and if it would
copy more its standard would be still higher.
