neither case was the necessary fee sent. At tho
head Of this column we state the terms upon
which we will publish the name of a candidate
for office, and upon other terms will q name
appear in this paper, that it is useless for any
one to send nomination unless they send the
money to pay for it.
For the Information of those who think that =,
"as we published ticket last week we ought TO
publislr the tickets sent us this week we will
state that the ticket last week published

Another matter ia this connection wish to
be understood: Some people seem to think it
necessary to give biography of candidate =

several species of insects which are in
