"The year just drawing to a close

escaped the blight of drought and the
destruction by early frosts. Our friend

divided that party in 80 many OF the

aud Ohio, for instance, in all OF which,
instead of the peace and comfy that
should subsist among brothers, there
are all manner of chickering's, recrimi-
nations and vituperations; but though
the truth is thereby exposed, all the
profit still rebounds to the plundertrs,
because they all profess to support the
