The Elyria correspondent of the
Oberlin Gazette gave Wellington a
pretty sharp arraignment few weeks
ago, to which we plead guilty. But
how IL it that Elyria furnishes Ober!in
suckers tho stimulsnt that inspires them

partly demented, suffering from the in
firmities of age, sensitive and bitter be-
cause he was nowhere very welcn me /;
