MATTESON-MORRIS.

1t may be an object in the minds Of NJ. ID.
Mstteson's personal friends and witnesses in
his suit against Amos Morris to whistle in the
face OF the storm OF retnbution that has over
taken him, Q. g. the Press and Courier. We
merely notice the item in the Courier to say,
that Morris paid his own costs in the suit.
more or less, and Matteson his own, and also
discharged the June, the only remaining mort
gage, put by him on record against Morris
lands which, on its face, now amounts to over
$4,000. AS to the taxes, Morris was so reduced
in means by the litigation brought by Matteson
upon him that he failed to pay the taxes for
two or three years, assessed upon the lands
Matteson and his coadjutor paid these taxes
or bid of the lands at sale. Morris cleared
this OFF, these liens, by paying the amount
thereof on redemption OF such as could be re-
deemed at Lansing, or by repaying the amount
not redeemable to Matteson when first claimed.
The point is that Morris paid his just obliga-
tions and Matteson threw up the fabricated
ones.

Dear, dear, how unwise and thoughtless

took part in Father Kemp's concert instead Of

suits as they appeared to me from my stand

representation of the professor were led to take

a man coming into town claiming to be pro-

drill and instruct them enough to pay for their

bare box; and after everything else is done
have them perform their part IN the concert

Also invite the older singers to look over a few
pieces that have been sung for the past one
hundred years, go to the trouble and expense

of opiates or narcotics will produce sleep in

irritable, to know that ID Lawson's Curative a
