ed from works to rewards. Mr. L,

er about seventy-one years ago. At the
age of maturity he married and set

We presume our learned friend
from Camden who asks the question,
"is there a monopoly in the sale of
school books iu Ohio," and submits
it to the public for discussion, has
failed to read on the first page of the
primer of the series "Entered accor
ding to act of Congress," which is
notice to all the world that no man
under the pains and penalties of the
laws of the United States, is allowed
to print and sell a primer even of the
aforesaid series, though it is no larger
than a Roback's almanac. Or did he
fail to understand the meaning of
monopoly ! It's a big word.
Persons who come to town to spend
their time, especially oh Saturday,
should not crowd the pavement, be
cause it is very unpleasant for ladies
to be compelled to go around a crowd
on the outside of the side-walk, or to
push through it. Why this thought
lessness? The pavements and street
crossings were not made for this pur
pose. M ove on, if you have business ;
if you have no business, get out of the
way of those who have something to
do in tho world.
