THE LAST GALL.

The CHRONICLE has made repeated
calls upon those who are in arrears on
subscription, and thus fai with provok-
ingly poor success. With the large ex-
pense incurred in building a new Office,
and in the purchase of o new press, and
other supplies 10 replace those destroyed
by fire in July last, our financial situa-
ton, by reason of q failure on the part
Of delinquents to respond to our appeal,
has become critical and fairly intolerable.
We make anotber-the last call. before
adopting harsher means, which We will
be compelled to do, in the event Of this
last call being u~nheeded. In some
instances wind has been utilized as a
motive power, but it has never been
successfully employed in running q
newspaper, it therefore becomes an alb.
solute necessity for us to have money to
meet our obligations. Will our delin-
quent subscribers realize this fact and
make an earnest and immediate effort
to settle their accounts, and thereby
relieve us of our present embarrassment
and save themselves additional ex-
pense? For Q short time We await a
renly.
