treachery. He has given much buncombe to
the order about his oyerwork, and has n stand
Ing notice inserted in the Journal notifying the
order not to annoy him with letters or invita-

or his clerk is less than sixteen letters per day
John w. Hayes Informed me that Terry had
completed his studies of law and could be ad-
mitted to the bar any time he made application,
and he was now studying languages. No doubt
after his study Of languages are completed the

the poverty that foots the bill.

say say in view Of. Of these facts and
appreciate your position. | assure you | do
mine, and If / acted otherwise than have and
intend TO act in the future would be false to
myself and oppressed labor. T. b. BARRY.
Mr.. Barry proposes TO agitate until the
general assembly of the Knights of Labor
adjourns. He will then put out his organ
| izers and look after the formation of his
new order, which will be called the Brother
hood of United Labor.
