8. . BOW, E TUTOR AND PROPRIETOn.
CLEARFIELD, PA., MAY 2, 1860.
FOR PRESIDENT,
GEN. SIMON CAMERON,
Subject to the decision of the Chicago Convention
FOR GOVERNOR,
HON. ANDREW G. CURTIN.
WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF HIM I2T 1857.
Henry D. Foster is the candidate of the Democ
Tnry of Pennsylvania for the responsible position
of Governor. He is most extravagantly landed by
the press of his party. His nomination, Bay they,
was a "spontaneous affair. His popularity, they
contend, is unbounded His political career, they
wonld have their followers believe, has been of the
most unexceptionable character. It is mere pre
tence and gammon to talk thus of his nomination
and popularity. There were too many office-hold
ers and other wire-pullers in and about the Con
vention to prevent any movement that did not ac
cord with the wishe.1 of the National Administra
tion; and the fact that he was beaten over 1,000
votes by "glory-to-God" Covode, as some Locofo
co editors call him, at the last Congressional clec
tion, docs not place the "popularity" of Gen. Fos
ter in the most favorable light. As to his political
acts, at least regarding one of the most promi
nent, we have no objection to leave some of his
"friends" speak We allude to the course he pur
sued in the winter of 1S5G-57, when Simon Came
ron was elected U. S. Senator over John V. For
ney. Mr. Foster was a member of the Legislature
that winter, refused to support the Democratic
caucus nominee, and permitted himself to be vo
ted for in joint Convention. Our readers doubt
less remember tho manner in which the Demo
cratic papers pitched into the "bolters." The
Clinton Democrat seems to have been particularly
severe in its denunciations, and the Lock Haven
Watchman, has resuscitated some of its articles,
the first of which is as follows :
"He (Foster) is a lawyer, has served two or three
terms in Congress, and is now a member of the Le
gislature, lie did not distinguish himself in ei
ther of these positions, and he may not bo as able
as his friends represent him to be, for they have a
idsuioD oi inaamg great men ot rather scanty ma
terial in the western part of the State."
In the Democrat of Jan. 23d, 1857, appeared the
following article relative to the election of a Uni
ted States Senator:
"Thk Se.xatomal Election-. Whon we spoke of
this shameful event in our last issue, our informa
tion was derived from telegraphic dispatches : we
have the full history of the occurrence now. For
ney, Democrat, had 53 votes; Cameron, republi
can, f.7 ; Foster, Traitor,!; and Mr. Foster him
self voted for Mr. Wilkins. What excuse these
rascals make for their treachery, or whether any,
wo are not informed. To style them Judases is to
slander old Iscariot, for though he betrayed his
Lord, he was decent enough to hang himself im
mediately afterwards, which these traitors, we re
gret to say, have not as yet done It is mockery
f language to attempt to characterize their con
duct. There is nothing meaner than an ingrate
nothing so villainous as a traitor, and Foster is
guilty of both The motive of the act is clear no
other than pecuniary profit."
Thero are oter extracts given, but these will
suffice to show how some of the Democratic edi
tors talked only three years ago of Gen. Foster,
their present ''spontaneous" combustion candidate
the "scanty material" of which they are trying
to manufacture a Governor.
It may not, however, be amiss to add a para
graph for the purpose of showing how the conduct
of the "bolters" was regarded by the Clearfield
Republican. In an editorial article, in its issue of
the 21th January, 1807, censuring Soth A. Eaekus,
Esq., for casting his vote for Gen. Foster, it says :
"For this conduct Mr. B. has forfeited all claim
to the confidence of his constituents as a politi
cian. We can draw but slight distinction between
voting for a disorganizing Democrat in the person
of Gen. Foxier, and an open and avowed enemy in
the person of Gen. Cameron. In either case, it
was a fatal stab to the Democracy, and at ono of
the most critical moments of its existence."
If the Republican in 1857 could see ::but slight
distinction between voting for a disorganizing
Democrat in tho person of Gen. Foster, and an o
pen and avowed enemy," how can it now? The
' disorganizcr" is no better now than he was then,
and we are not aware that he ever made atone
ment, or even got down on his marrow bones and
asked forgiveness for the "fatal stab" he gave the
party by assistsng to defeat CoL Forney, who,
from thenceforward, was, in the language of the
Kepnblican, to "occupy a place in the affections of
" the Democracy of Pennsylvania that he may well
" be proud of, and to which his enemies will as
M pire in vain !"
Fugitive Slave Case. Great excitement was
caused in Troy.N. Y., last Friday, April 27th, by
a United States Deputy Marshal arresting a negro
namod Charles Nalle, claimed as a fugitive slave
by B. W. Hansborough. of Culpepper County, Vir
ginia. Upon identification before a United States
Commissioner the negro was remanded, when a
writ of habeas corpus was issued by Judge Gould.
By this time a thousand persons had assembled,
and, surrounding the officers having the negro in
charge, rescued the latter and conveyed him across
the river to West Troy, where he was again arrest
ed. Again the crowd assembled, and again the
negro was rescued and conveyed, in a carriage, to
parts unknown. The rescuers were composed prin
cipally of negroes. Pistols and clubs were freely
rued, but no one was seriously injured. ,
The Copper. Mises of Lake Superior.
The Lake Superior Miner gives tho most flat
tering accounts of the mining business in the
Vicinity of Lake Superior. The product of
the Minnesota mine alone, for the month of
February, 1860, was one hundred and sixty
tons, one thousand tiino hundred and sixty
pounds, and that in a month when, from the
intensity of the cold, the mine waa worked
only about ono-third oi the lime, - The re
ceipts at Ontonagon, since the close of navi
gation, are seven hundred and forty-two tons,
three hundred and forty-two poands- Several
new mines will bo opened, this spring from
which it is expected that not less than twenty
thousand tons of ore will be iaken during the
jcason, or $4,000,000 worth, of copper alone.
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
This body assembled at Charleston, S. C,
on Monday, April tho 23rd, at noon, lor
the purpose of selecting candidates for Fresi
dent end Vice President. The Convention
consists of 303 members, of whom 183 are
from the eighteen free States, and 120 from
tho fifteen slave States. Two-thirds of the
whole number aro required for a choice,
consequently tho successful candidate must
receive 202 votes. The Convention was
organized at noon by making F. B. Flour
ney, of Arkansas, temporary chairman, and
aiier me appointment or committees on or
ganization, and on credentials, the conven
tion adjourned until Tuesday morning, at 10
o'clock, when it reassembled and the proper
committee reported the name of lion. Caleb
Cushing as permanent President, and one
Vice President and Secretary from each State.
After a short speech by the President it was
agreed that a majority of a State delegation
cannot compel the minority to vote with them
as a unit, unless so instructed by the conven
: ii a. . . .
nun mat appointed tnem : anu also, it was
decided that the Platform shall be adopted
previous to balloting for candidates. A com
mittee on platform, consisting of one from
each State, was then announced. On Wed
nesday, the Committee on Credentials report
ed against the Wood delegation from New
York and the Illinois Lecomptonites, and con
firming the Soft
and Douglass men in lheir
seats. Jx rather spicy discussion sprung up
on the rule reported by the Committee on Or
ganization in which Mr. Josiah R.Randall, of
Pennsylvania, took an active part, and was re
proved by Mr. Richardson, who referred to the
fact of Mr. Randall having but lately come into
tho party, and that his antecedents entitled his
opinions on Democracy to but little consider
ation. He did not desire, after a life service
in the cause, to be reproved by the recruits of
yesterday. During Thursday much excitement
prevailed in regard to the platform. On Fri
day, no less than three platforms were reported.
The majority report affirms, in guarded lan
guage, the new Southern dogma, which al
lows any single slaveholder to convert at plea
sure any Territory into a Slave Territory.
The minority report backed by all the Free
States except California and Oregon tries to
satisfy the South with the Cincinnati Platform,
the Dred Scott Decision, and a loud call for the
acquisition of Cuba. Mr. Butler, of Massa
chusetts, made a third report, being the Cin
cinnati platform, with a resolution for the pro
tection of all citizens, whether native or natu
ralized. A warm debate and much confusion
nsued. On Saturday the excitement increas
ed, and amidst a scene of the wildest confu
sion, the platforms were all referred back to
the committee without instructions. - All sorts
of propositions and motions to adjourn were
made. A hundred persons were addressing
the Chair at once, all shouting at the top of
their voices. The President said that if this
contest and uproarjeontinued, he would feel
bound, in duty to himself and the Convention,
to leave tho Chair, as it was physically impos
sible for him to take part in such a struggle
and clamor. Finally, at 10 o'clock at night,
the Convention adjourned till Monday morn
ing. On Monday the proposition of Mr. But
ler was rejected. The President having deci
ded that a recommendation by a State Con
vention was equivalent to an instruction to its
delegation, on appeal was taken and carried.
This will give Douglas a couple votes more
than he would have got otherwise. There is j
no telling yet who will be nominatod.
A Fist Fight at Charleston.
On Saturday, a fist fight took place in Charles
ton between two of the delegates from Pennsylva
nia. It seems that when Hon. II. B. Wright, in
committee, cast the vote of Pennsylvania for the
minority resolutions, Senator Bayard of Delaware
told him that he, Wright, was instructed to vote
with the Southern members of the Committee.
Wright said this could not be correct, as the dele
gation from his State had passed no such instruc
tions. Another member said he had seen the in
structions, when Wright started out to ascertain
the facts. On his way to the Keystone State he
met Messrs. Dawson, Bigler and Collector Baker.
Dawson handed him a paper purporting to be the
instructions, which Wright refused to recognize,
as there had been no meeting of the delegation.
Hereupon Baker flew into a rage and called
Wright a falsifier. The latter calling him a liar,
Baker struck Wright, accompanying the blow with
profane epithets- Wright is much the oldest man
and has been in impaired health since he left
home. It is positively asserted that no instruc
tions had been adopted, but that Dawson, Bigler
and Baker had secretly prepared the paper and
induced some of the delegation to sign it. This is
the Philadelphia Frets g version of the affair. It
also tells a good one that happened in the Conven
tion afterwards. Wrhcn Dawson was calling up
the delegates and giving them directions how to
vote, Owen Jones cried out, "Yes, gentlemen, come
up and receive your orders." Dawson denied giv
ing orders, but Jones repeated his assertion in a
louder voice, and Dawson "dried up."
A singular and a sad affair happened the
other day at Buffalo, N. Y. A family arrived
there, consisting of a man, his wife, and two
children. Both the man and the woman were
insane, and both exhibited very nearly the
same symptoms, their minds tending to simi
lar halluincinations, and their irrational con
versation being upon much the same subjects.
It was supposed that they had taken some
noxious drug. They were both conveyed to
the Insane Asylum, and precautions taken to
prevent them from injuring themselves or
others. In spite of these, however, the man
wrenched an iron handle from his door, and
managed to cut his throat with it, so that he
died from the loss of blood. The woman, in
one of her lucid moments, said they came
from Kentucky, but could not tell the town
or county of her residence.
Some years since Warrick Martin, a Louisi
ana planter, placed $60,000 in the hands of a
brother-in-law named Brooks, of Beloit, Wis
consin, for investments in lands, and subse
quently received back the principal, under
the pretense, by Brooks, that tho investments
were failures, and that Martin might consider
himself lucky in getting out so well. Martin
having found that Brooks made and pocketed
two or three hundred thousand by the opera
tion, brought suit in the United States Court,
and on Monday, the 3rd instant, got a verdict
for the full amount.
THE PRIZE FIGHT.
The steamer Vanderbilt arrived on Saturday,
with Liverpool dates to the 18ta. The great
International Prize fight between llccnau, the
Benicia Boy, and Tom Sayers, the English
Champion, took place on the 17th, at Fern-
borough, near Aldersbott, in the presence of
a large concourse of people. The right lasted
two hours and three minutes, during which 39
rounds were fought, bayers drew tho first
blood, and lleenan claimed the first knock
down blow. Sayers it is very apparent, got
the worst of the fight, and Heenan will claim
the belt. As everybody will be anxious to
know all about the fight, we give the following
particulars :
1st round Sayers led out with bfs left, and
caught lleenan upon the mouth and upon a
second feint he landed a significant blow on
Ileenan's nose, when the latter closed, and
got oayers by the neck ana bayers fell. 2d
lleenan, after a few minutes eyeing of his
antagonist, let fly his left, and landed a blow
on Sayers mouth, then closed with and threw
him. 3d Heenan caught Sayers on the
mouth, the latter again falling. 4th lleenan
went up to Sayers: shot out tremendously
with bis left, and hit Sayers again on the
mouth, and sent him spinning to the ground.
In the 5th and Cth rounds Sayers fell without
any punishment being on either side. 7th
Sayers landed a fearful blow on Ileenan's
cheek, cutting it open, when Ileenan's left
eye became almost immediately in darkness
This round lasted twelve minutes, and ended
with lleenan knocking Sayers down by a blow
in the mouth. 8th Heenan shot out with his
left, but was beautifully stopped with Savers'
right. Alter much parleying on both sides,
iieenan caugnt layers ana sent him spinning
round and with his right caught him in tho
jaw Sayers going down. 9th lleenan wert
up to Sayers, caught him' on tho month, and
sent mm to motiier eartn. Jictting.which had
been up to this time two to ono on Sayers
rose to even, lleenan Having the call. 10th
lleenan closed and threw Saj-ers heavily. 11th
bayers struck lleenan on the mouth and fell.
12th neenan went np to Sayers and knocked
him down, which he also did on ihe thirteen
round. 14th Counter hittinsr on both sides
in the mouth, when they closed and Savers
fell, loth Heenan caught Sayers on the
mount wim nis leu ana leu. iota Alter a
few exchanges, lleenan shot out, and knocked
Sayers down. The 17th was a similar round
to the 18th. Sayers did much towards closing
Ileenan's right eye, and fell. Tho 19th and
ZUth rounds they closed, Heenan throwinsr
Sayers in both instances. In the 21st and 22d
rounds lleenan went to Sayers and knocked
him down. Loud cheers j betting 1 to 4 on
lleenan. 23d After some severe battling on
both sides, Heenan's face becoming much dis
hgnred, they closed, and Sayers had a throw
and recorded in his favor. 21th Heenan a-
gain knocked bayers . down. 2-5th Sayers
caught Heenan a poser on the nose, the claret
Hying about, when the two closed and fell.
Sayers under. Heenan hit Savers on the mouth
and caused tho claret to flow profusely. This
round lasted tventy minutes, and ended hv
Heenan knocking Sayers down. 26th Savres
landed a severe blow on Ileenan's left cheek i
and fell. 27th Heenan followed Sayers about
tne ring; slight countcrbittinsr : the former
landed another blow on Savers' mouth, and he
fell. 28ih A similar fround to thn Ust.
bayers falling. 29th Heenan with his left
caught Sayers in the mouth and brought him
to the ground. 30th Sayers caught lleenan
bang on the nose. The two closed and Sayers
again ieu to tne earth. 31st Sayers landed
a severe blow on the mouth, the two clos
ing, and fell, Sayers under. 32d In this
round Heenan retired to his corner, and seem
ed reluctant at calling out. Severs, looking
at him anxiously, let fly with his left, and gave
a telling diow on ileenan's frontisplace. Bet
ting even on bayers. At this time it was evi
dent that daylight was becoming almost of no
avail to Heenan, as both his eyes were nearly
cioseu, ana nis iace auogetner presented a
frightful appearance. 33d Heenan landed a
i i -, . - - . .
crasher on Sayers' mouth and sent him spin
ning to the ground. It was now plain that
Sayer's right arm was not of much avail to
him, from the repeated stopping of blows, and
Ileenan's hand also became much swollen from
the repeated use he had made of it. 34 Say
ers hit out rapidly, twice giving it to lleenan
both on the nose and mouth. Heenan, how
ever, followed Sayers up, struck him heavily
ontnemoutn, ana sent him to the ground.
35th The two soon closed, and Sayers getting
hold of Heenan by the neck, bit him severely
over the left eye. 30 The two closed ; Say.
ers was thrown. 37th Heenan gave Sayers
one in the mouth, the latter falling. 88th
Sayers closed and fell and Heenan gave Say
ers one on the head when he had almost reach
ed the ground. This was a question of foul,
but was not persisted in, being deemed an ac
cident. 40th lleenan got his arm around
Sayers' neck, and to all appearance was strang
ling him. Cries of "Let him go," were rais
ed. Heenan, however, stuck to his hold, and
the ring was broken in. The greatest excite
ment prevailed. The umpire was carried a-
way in tne tnrong, ana tue ngnt was prema
turely brought to a close, neither having been
declared the winner.
Tne Ss. Y. Times London correspondent
says: " 1 visited lleenan last evening, and
found him most comfortable and in excellent
spirits. He is anxious to fight Sayers as soon
as possible, if he is not satisfied with the pre
sent result. The indignation of the Ameri
cans here, and in fact a large portion of the
British public, is loudly and vehemently ex
pressed. The ring was broken into by a pack of
thieves, who used the excuse to rob every one.
It was well known that Mr. lleenan would not
be allowed to carry the champion's belt out of
the country, and the Englishmen who had bet
their all on Sayers, as soon as they found that
their champion was losing, resorted to the
most unfair means, kicking Heenan, and pull-
nig uuii uunu. a iuet.iug vi me Americans
will be held in London to-night, and you may
expect to see some controversies in the papers.
Mr. George Wilkes will demand the belt for
Heenan, and will furnish the testimony to prove
that he is entitled to it. Of one things your
readers may be certain, Ileenan's rights will
be properly attended to, and his position will
De maintained to the last."
The N . Y. Tribune says : " A gentleman,
now at tho St. Nicholas, and who witnessed
me ngnt, says tnat wrten lleenan bad got
sayers into sncn a position that he must
inevitably have won the battle, John Mor-
risey cut the ropes and let him fall to the
ground."
The Cow Distemper is Massachusetts.
The Commissioners appointed to examine in
to the causes of the epidemic that is now pre
vailing among tne cattle in the Bay State, in
pursuing ineir investigations, found one far
mer who had lost eleven cows by pneumonia.
The lungs of two of the animals were found to
be diseased. The progress of the disease is
so insidious, that the owner stoutly declares
tne cow naa not been sick. : The whole Block
of another young farmer eighteen head had
to De saenned, comprising very fine animals.
In every herd of cattle visited tho disease was
found. Ten thousand dollars were appropriat-
-u iui iuo cAiciuiiumiuu ui me disease ; on
Wednesday last, this sum had been exhausted,
and one hundred fresh cases were reported.
The greatest alarm naturally prevails through
out the grazing country. The malady is as
infectious as small-pox.

THE PAPAL EXCOMMUNICATION.
Tl.e English papers, received by the Austra
lasian, publish ta exenso the long threatened
"major excommunication " hurled against the
crowned enemies of the Church in ceneral. and
the King of Sardinia in particular. This is the
last desperate resort of a disappointed and
feeble tyrant, and will excite no other feelines
than those of ridicule and contempt, in quar
ters where it was designed to strike terror. It
is a counterpart of the Chinese military device
of alarming the enemy with grotesque masks
and hideous noises. It is a very wordv and
long document, containing a great many strons
phrases,as applied to the enemies of the Church,
calling them wicked innovators," who seek,
Dy " cunning dissimulation " and lying hy
pocrisy," to destroy the rope's secular power.
The Sardinian government comes in especially
for some bard knocks, and is accused of spar
ing no fraud nor sin to rouse sedition and sub
ject the Papal provinces to its power. The
rope then declares that, having " invoked the
Holy Spirit, in private and public prayers, and
taken the advice of the reverend brethren, the
Cardinals," in accordance with the authority
which wo hold from Almighty God and tiie
most holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and also
in accordance with our own authority, all
those who have taken part in tho sinlul in
surrections in our provinces, in usurping,
occuping and invading them," be anathema
tized, and not to be " absolved from these
censures by any one but the Pope himself.
unless they are at the point of death : and
even if they should then be absolved, they are
to re-incur the censures if they should per
chance recover, -until they retract and annul
all they have committed, and cive the Papal
power full satisfaction." The letter of ex
communication is ordered to be posted on the
doors of the Lateran and other churches, as it
" cannot be safely published everywhere, and
especially in such places as most require it."
In the meantime, Sardinia, under the govern
ment of its wise and energetic monarch, will
assume its place among the leading nations of
Europe and will at once become the pioneer
of freedom for the whole of Italy, which has
nothing to dread so much, in the future, as the
" patriarchal supervision " of the political
priests at Rome.' The anathemas of the latter
are harmless, but their government is intoler
able, as the experience of the past has de
monstrated. Piitsburg Gazette. -
Aftkr a short interval of comparative re
pose, V esuvius appears half disposed to get up
another sensation. The report of tho 20th
and 21st of March is as follows: At one
A. M., the mountain threw out fire and burn
ing stones at the same time ottering loud
noise, as of thunder. At the foot of tho
mountain three small craters were formed.
and thirty-two currents of lava, one of which
was full sixteen palms in width, traveled
rapidly in the ! directions of San Salvadore.
whilst the others went towards the Pianno
della Ginestra. - The earth opened, and cur
rents of lava Issued.
A Child Dbvocred By Rats. A noor
Irish woman, named Mary Connor, was sent
on Sunday, 22nd, to the Bellevue Hospital.
New Tork, and subsequently she was placed
with other worsen ia the " waiting ward."
It seems that on the following morning she
gave birth to a child, and so littlo attention
was paid to her that the rats attacked the
new-born infant and destroyed its life eating
off its nose, upper lip and toes, and about half
of the left foot. The mother, it appeals, was
so exhausted that she was unconscious of the
terrible suffering to which her oflspring had
been exposed. -
Several years since, a man named John
Cain killed Richard Singleton for the seduc
tion of his daughter Mary in Cincinnati. Tha
daughter has since become an abandoned
character, and a few evenings since was mar
ried to a negro named Winston, over 70 years
of age, the keeper of an eating and drinking
house of a very low character. The girl was
a"bout 20 years of age, -

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
It is a fact that, at some period, evsrv mpm.
ber of the human familv is suMect to JisenM or
disturbance of the bodily functions; but, with the
aid of a good tonic and the exercise of plain com
mon sense, they may be able so to regulate the sys
tem as to secure permanent health. In order to ae-
com pi is h this desired object, the true rourse to pur
sue is certainly that which will produce a natural
state of things at the least hazard of vital strength
auu me. tur iuis purpose, nr. liostetter nas in
troduced to this country a preparation bearing his
name, which i3 not a new medicine, but one that
has been tried for years, giving satisfaction to alt
who have used it. The Bitters oneraln nnwoi r,.l!r
upon the stomach, bowels, and liver, restoring them
to a healthy and vigorous action, and thus, by
the simple process of strengthening nature, ena-
Die tne system to triumph over disease.

Diarrhoea, dysentery or flux, so generally con
tracted by new settlers, and caused principally by
the change of water and diet, will be speedily reg
ulated by a brief use of thia preparation. Dyspep
sia, a disease which 13 nrobabl v more nrovnli-nt
in all its various forms, than anv other, and the
causo of which may always be attributed to d-
racgementsof the digestive organs, can be cured
without fail by using HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, as per directions on the bottle. For
this disease every physician will recommend Bit
ters of some kind; then why not use an article
known to be infallible ? All nations have their
Bitters, as a preventive of disease and strengthen
er of the system in general; and among them all
there is not to be found a more healthy people

disease, which fixes its relentless grasp on the bo
dy of man, reducing him to a mere shadow in a
short time, and rendering him physically and men
tally useless, can be driven from the body by the
use of HOSTETTER'S REXOWXED BITTER'S.
Further, none of the above-stated diseases can be

ters are used as per directions. And as they nei-

and healty digestion, and the complaint is remo

tion of a thorough and permanent cure.
For Persons i Advanced Years, who are suffer

these Bitters are invaluable as a restorativn of
strength and vigor, and need only be tried to be
appreciated. And to a mother while nursing these
Bitters are indispensable, especially where the mo
ther's nourishment is inadequate to the demands
of the child, consequently her strength must vifi.r
and here.it is where a good tonic, such as H os tet
ter's Stomach L'ltters, is needed to impart tempo
rary strength and vizor to the evstein. Ladies
should by all means try this remedy for all ca
ses of debility, and, before io doing, should ask
ineir paysician, wno, if He is acquainted with the
virtue of the Stomach Bitters, will recommend
their use in all cases of weakness.

KEEP UP THE EXCITE.HENT.-Re-movals
always cause excitement, and since
the great excitement about the removal of the
Court House has subsided, the community gener
ally have become somewhat excited upon hearing
that Charly Watson has determined to pull np'
stakes and remove to Virginia. But the latest,
cause of excitement is the fact that I have iemov
ed my Saddler Shop from my old stand opposite
the Court House to my new tshop on Market street,,
nearly opposite the jail, where all who may favor
me with a call can be supplied with S.uidles, Sin
