ONE COMMISSIONED RS
TROUBLES.

reproduce as some small contrA-
button to the gaiety of nations.
The man who sends the letter
was born in Robson and he has
noted with interest the recent !
fight in this county. In the coun-
ty in which he now lives, the
capital of which is said to be the
richest town of It's size in the
United States, he says it is hard
to get a good business man toI
take the office of commissioner,
and to give some idea of the men
who serve in that capacity there
he encloses a letter from one of
them. This commissioner owed
our correspondent small &C
count, for which he drew on him,
and the aforesaid commissioner
thought that he was being sued.
Here is the letter the draft
brought forth, as near as we can
decipher it:
