Sermon by Rev. ], n. McGifert.
e. H. Fitch, Esq, has become fully
domiciled in his new and mnch improved
premises in Jefferson, and seems to enter
into the enjoyment of them with real and
unrestrained pleasure. Indeed, his new
neutrality-suspicious. as we'll as social
appear to be of very pleasureable nature.
From brief call at the Office of the new
firm, their enjoyment Of each Others society
attracted attention. They could hardly
have been better pleased with each other if
their respective admirations had sprung
from greater variation of sexual persua-
sion, smaeking as it did Of a sentiment al
most connubial in its gentle demeanor and
tenderness. These things are having, evil
IDENTIFY, good effect upon our recusant
barrister. His tone is improved, his man
ner softened, his hsbliments genteel, his
ambrosial locks kempt, his complexion fair
and his expression radiant, Everything
indicated that he felt the influence of good
society and prosperous business relations.
This latter thought was forced upon US by
occular evidence of incoming retainers and
fees. Mr.. NOrthway is always vivacious,
and his enjoyment of life has always made
lis office pleasant place to call. The
consolidation of so many mirth-provok-
ing qualities however, make the place
fairly. glow with flashing hpmor, The
firm are certainly giving the best evidence
that their business union is happy and
congenial one, and the benedicton that
we would pronounce upon them is that
this relationship may be as lasting as it is
beautiful and profitable.
