Dunbar is a lawyer by profession, and we understand proposes offering his services to the public in our town. The way is open. Success to him. Two other new corners arrived in Dover last week-both boys, and are stopping with 4. NJ. Marshal and Y. E. Poyn- ter; and time moves on.

Sup | posing that you must feel very much l exhausted after your very learned and ! laborious explanation on the departure of Young c. Hicken, would recommend ! that you take glass of weak toddy and retire to bed early, hoping when
 you wake you may have fully recov- cred. 1 own up.
