waste time or paper in exrlsining this mat
ter. if al OF my readers wsre cast in The
same mould as this little E<nn TSppei;. bu,

Of the supposed forgery made plain II &c.
CURED in this wise Mr. Wing was one #
those selected as overseer q the road, and
asked Mr.. Abel 20 issue permit % him at
once, 50 that be could hare authority 10

work IN this warrant, until such time As

and sent him This accounts FOR the milk

than the tea kettles calling the snow
ball NASTY" You do not value my opin-
ion at a very high rate, am sure, but still,
out Of the abundance Of good nature within
me, and in hopes you will profit by it,
will tell you in all candor, that | think
there is more assurance in your little per-
son than could be found in the biggest kind

one You had drawn up, and they are all
therefore assurance men, and did not knew
what they were putting their names To
II is dreadful thing some times for peo.
pie 20 put their names 70 paper. and hope,
Beany, you will never prevail ON any
to sign their names for which they had
cause 10 shed tears and have heart aches
and sleeplesS nights. You seem 10 feel
very much for those 50 gentlemen who
signed my petition, in ignorance, and de
sire they shall all retract by card or other
wise, and apologize for aiding me in great
raid upon the county treasury, and would
suggest, MT Of the charity Of your heart,
that You - see each man in regular order,
and 10 your level best TO prevail on them
g. erase their names, and thus escape the
intumy that otherwise awaits them.
