were paid to ordnar y competent persons, Others
of experience and possessing good Recommendations
receiving considerably higher prices.
Cotton and flax mill hands have been IN much de-

for coal and iron miners shOemakers, weavers, farm
hands and IN the early Spring oablnet-makers

Therefore he had determined to destroy his life in

wife had his body brought homo yesterday IN the
