This is fac smile Of the return as
II now stands and is altered. The forg-
ery can be easily detected. l, consists
of the lower line or loop which Is added
to the original c, and which makes a
fair q Of It.
This clearly shows that an alteration
has has been made in the return. But
the Council declare that the alteration, II
any. was made before il came into their
hands. They wish it TO be understood that
this tail 10 the c was made before they
opened the return. The following letter
from the Town Clerk of Hebron proves
that this plea is false, for. he made out
the return. and the tail was not made 10y
him: but he declares it 10 DC a forgery

Returns OF Sept. s, 1879, &c.-for which
please accept my thanks. l was much
amused on examining the fac simile OF the
return from tho town OF Hebron, as found

eously written by mistake" had been
changed to G in the name of Henry u.
Walker. / Immediately recognized that
return to be in my handwriting, and am
able 10 say most enPhaticGRy and aRqadii-
fedly that the alteration was not made by
me. - the stupid rogse who made the alter
alton, had had sagacity eSough 10 have
carefully observed the capital G in my Off

made less bungling imitation.

Thus fusion majority Of 1876 with an
additional loss of " votes for Henry q.
Walker, were saved by forging the re-
turns, and by it, the entire fusion board
of County officers. were certifcated. 1t
was stake worth playing for. 1t was
successful. But this year our people will
declare that fraud and forgery by public
officers, will not be countenanced.

any member to make up for lost rehearsals.
Every singer must, therefore, attend every
rehearsal. Une1cused absence from any
rehearsal will forfeit membership in the
chorus
! En nerson will be permitted to sing al

at the Festival.
Members must present their chorus ticc!!!'

tickets also admit to the Festival, and
therefore must be preserved. ,-..t,
Entrance to the mass, rehearsals will be
by the passage way between the north and
main buildings, and tn the part rehearsals
by the passage way between the south and

Music must not be taken from the hall
The works will be sold to members of the
