knocked in the head, and investigation
revealed a collar around the animals
neck on which appeared the name of

The Gdzette's notice of a young man
of this city passing as a single man
when he has an impOrtuning wife in the |
East, does not go far enough. When |
it starts out to do good thingit should |
do it. It's article last week was but a
SpeciOus show of courage. Let it give
the name of the young man who is thus
basely and cOwardly maSquerading, or
else shut up. Its old wOman'S shake of
the head, with the knowing look and
the words, Il would if l could, and l |
could if would" but serve to throw |
more or less suspicion upon every young |
man in town. The Gazette should speak |
out.
