at them with propriety. A writer i'll
one of the leading and most respect
able of these dailies lately quoted
from Maine newspaper these two,
among other items, viz: Miss -,
when going to school Thursday morn
ing, Oct. II, found a strawberry bios
SOM and "a very intelligent and
valuable dog belonging to Mrs. -,
died Sunday morning" AS the above
writer is a constant contributor of
items to the aforesaid daily, we ran

sue, and found an item in which he
alluded to the fact that the week be-
| fore he had said that the president of
nearby board of aldermen was at
