friends in need. and his present troubles
only serve to draw them closer to him.

an upright. gentleman, kind and oblig-
ing neighbor, and has by his honesty and
integrity SO ingratiated himself into the
confidence OF the people of this commu-
nifty that they one and all sincerely hope
for his freedom and complete vindica-
ton. Mr.. Lees counsel is the best that
can be secured.
