The Charlestown boom seems to us
TO be an assured thing. We have
heen over the ground and things
looks extremely promising. The
brass factory is in operation, the har-
ness factory is in course of erection
and the Hotel Powhatan is being
pushed forward by large force of
hands. There will doubtless be a
large crowd of people present and
the occasion will be the greatest,
doubtless, Charlestown has ever seen.

A fallacy may be popular, but neIerthe-

Do not be misled my brother by preju-
dices-do not substitute an unnatural
appetite for the natural one when the
system is low by baneful stimulant,
Because an unnatural condition existed
few years since is no reason it is the
best one-Read History-Read about the
crisis of 81, see what caused it. Was it
because of the Specie circular or because
of prior speculation. Read about Laws
