There is no mention made of the
names of the publishers or editors, but
an advertisement, which is inserted,
asks for rags old seines, fishing nets
and the like to be brought to the office,
so that paper can be made from it.
From this it would seem that the firm
manufactured its own paper.
In the news columns, which form but a
small portion of the paper, the adver-

was the agent for the affair in this city.
The capital prize was hotel, with all
furnishings, valued at $4,000. There
were cash prizes of $25, 900, the whole
amounting to $3.50, 900. The lottery,
by the way, was never held, as much
opposition was developed against it.

runaway slaves, Offering rewards Of
from Sc to SIC. There is an offer of a
reward of $40, which would seem large
compared with those offered for the
runaway slaves, for eight bushels of
clover seed, stolen from Mount Vernon.
The advertisement goes on to state that
the clover seed was stolen from the
granary and is supposed to have been
taken by negroes. 1t is signed by An
thony Whiting, who was Washington s
OVerseer.
There is an advertisement in the pa

the Constitution says: The marriage
this afternoon at 6 o'clock of Miss Lii
liam q. Hanna, sister of Senator Mark

a young attorney of Cleveland, O., has

were driven TO Elsoma, the palatial
country home Of Mr.. j. Wyman Jones,
of EnglewOod n. j., who married a
sister of Senator Hanna. On Monday
the young man came to town, inquired
for the ordinary's office and called up
on Judge Montgomery, ordinary, in
person for the necessary license. He
seemed to regret the publicity being
given to the marriage, and frankly
said that it was owing to the disparity
of the ages of the parties. Miss Han.
ma is reported to be forty-five, while
the groom is said to be but twenty
eight, and he looks several years
younger.
