chase that occasioned the report was to
effect the capture of Charles Humphreys,
against whom the grand jury had found an

Parties who have had occasion to trav-
ell through the timber land adjacent to

-Thos. Darmody, the young man who
had the misfortune to lose his eye while

term, which will probably be held in July.
We will offer on Monday 100 dozen

price only for short time.
