HPatent Insides"

'Patent Insides.''
An esteemed friend dropped in the
other day and freely allowed that he
did not like the new makeup of The
CaledOnian as we'll as he did the old
style. "But," said he, 81 suppose it is
cheaper for you, and shall soon get
used to it." When we assured him it
was no cheaper for us-that we could
print the local matter rs readily on
one page as another, he seemed sur
prised, and said he supposed we OBJ
tanned our insides printed i'll the city.
Lest there may lie some others of like
impression, we wish to say that al
though the insides of this paper are
unusually interesting and instructive,
there is no patent on them, and any of
our contemporaries are permitted to
copy them without the least danger of
being prosecuted for Infringement.
