FROM AN OLD SubSCKIbEh III TcHcWihS
his subscription Mr.. Henry J. Wood writes
from Newton, Mass: ~ think this is my 38th
or 39th subscription to The Journal. l have
been so long away from Belfast that most of
my old associates in business have passed on
to the better country, and l see very few
names mentioned with which ! am familiar;
but we are not able to completely sever our
relations with the old town where spent so
many pleasant years in my early business life,
though since the death of my brother I've had
very little to draw my feet thither We are
glad to feel that the old Journal keeps up its
character and it was never better paper than
today.

scoggin, which was detailed to this district and
