we published last week the proceedings
of public meeting, held in this City, in
relation to the present deranged state of our
Mail matters and design ut this time to

that it is delightful thing to quit this vale of

How plain it is the year is dying and how

the measure of the passing seasOni Such is all

steam, fans, or rudders. | confidently expect to

the animals are driven ON hard roads.

comparison with its length and breadth, and in
which the earth occupies space somewhere
about the middle of its thickness, and near the
point where it subdivides into two principal

For il is believed that to an eye thus situated,
