An unpleasant duty devolves upon us
this week-one that we had hoped we
should never be compelled to perform
again, but necessity knows no law-so
here we 20. It is of the utmost Importance
that a printing Office be kept very warm
during the winter. We might 90 on and
explain the various reasons for this, but
we hardly think 1t necessary. Now in
order to keep warm this winter, we must
have fuel. We could go on the street al
most any day, and get load of wood by
paying cash, but we do not feel like doing
this when there are hundred and Fifty
men in the county owing US on subscrip-
ton In amounts VARYING from City cents
to two dollars. Many of these have tim
Der on their land. and could, with hut Ut
tie trouble, bring us load Of wood when
they come to town on business, and il
vouldlhelp rs out nicely. Now we dis
like to keep continually urging our delin.
quents for wood through the paper.
and We trust that this call upon them
will be sufficient, and that enough fuel
will be brought in very shortly to supply
our needs in this direction, during the
winter.

Garrison arose In the assembled conven

clarion voice to ring out upon the air like
a fog horn In misty night, placing in

would have bowed his head and wept in
very shame to think that an orator of such
brilliancy and power should be "hiding h.
light under a bushel"-in other words

such mighty intellect has no business in
