It is a grief to us that we cannot

and what we receive from the citizens
(scarcely a third of what it costs to
meet our obligations) we are enabled
to support the household, which con
sists cf 11 pe; ?oi!3. and we hope that
there will neevr bean Interruption to
this arrangement
Those who enter the addition will
not be required to pay an admission
fee. but will have to pay something
each month; not board, as some erro
neously suppose, but the bare cost of
living. It would be a g?ad day to the
Society If the CItlzeni could reaMze
the necessity of this refuge, and would
resolve that the original method
should be adhered to, so that all could
enter upoi. the same terns. It would

in accomplishing this eid; It on-'y

that It was a personal matter between
the two men and that politics had
nothing to do with the encounter. Dr.
Bryant landed on Haynes' Jaw and
that was the only lick struck, friends
to the two men separating them
quickly.
The House was opened this morning
with prayer by Dr. Moment. Petitions

of transferring the cases. ' Jt was
agreed that this point should 'be ; left
to Judge Long for determination : at ;
the next term of the Superior; Court; 'l '
