tion was caused by person, who is styled
an NJ. D., who came to the post office,
aud began, without any provication what

zens, and in TACT went so far as to attack in
"A listiculf manner one individual, who,
not desiring to make an exhibition OF the
british art, dealt with him more humanely
by having him brought before a Justice.
The result was that the doctor gave the

at this place, on Thanksgiving eve. Th'
