those self-sacriring and noble men who, with
the true spirit Of patriotic devotion, yielded

not, will be, such an attendance at the un-

Never before In tho history OF this or any
other country were tho actors in q base CON
spiracy aRainst the peoples rights 80 boldly

OF tho commnnest dictates OF deeency
showered honors and emoluments upon tho
men who committed the Hegrant Returning

been given a fat efiieain the Custom House or

To THE EDITOR OF TIE TRIBUNE:

To THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE:
DEAR SIR:-I have scanned your columns
for the last few months, in hopes some
one, or yourself, would open the subject of
a crossing at the Pomme de Terre on the
Hancock road, near Stones mill. do not
know but the subject is tabooed for some
reason unknown to me, but it appears to
me that the subject is Of vital interest to
the business interests of Morris. Now, it
is fact that, except while the river is
frozen, there is no possible way to get to
your town, unless by trespass, from the
east side of the river, to people living near
the Hancock road, and there is no possible
way to take load to Morris except by
long detour, across lots, over uneven and
siding ground, to the bridge on the Glen
wood road, increasing the distance nearly
two miles. Now, it seems to me that the
business men of Morris must think we, on
this side of the river, are dreadfully preju-
diced in favor of doing business in their
town instead of Hancock, or else our pat
ronage is no object to them, or they would
take some steps to open the road so that it
would re at least possible to travel it.
think it would be possible to raise part Of
the means necessary by subscription, and
let the county do the rest.
Yours, &c, G. SAX.
