being the injury he thinks he has suffered i,
character and pocket by the publication afore
drawn, but will be in shape to-day and will b
served on Bill King Immediately if he does no
betake him to the friendly shores of Canada t
avoid service. Verify, the way of the trans
gressor against public decency is hard, yer
hard.
