tropical latitude it has for some days
past, 1t ID no easy matter to skirmish for
the amount of news which THE HERALD
has always made q special feature; but
when it comes to collecting dues for SUBJ
scriptions in addition, it forces us to ask
subscribers to call at the Office and settle
their delinquencies.

paper he advertises reward Of $40 for
information as to the identity of the
poisoner. He promises not to bring the

have been registered.
