who advertise.It is an almost invari

by his actions
says he does not care
whether you deal with him or not.

ing to appreciate in its proper and in
tended spirit , a kindly suggestion which
recently appeared in THE TRIBUNE , has
ostracised us from friendly communion
with himself , henceforth and forever , *

heaped insult upon injury , and rudely
lacerated the tenderest tendrils of our
heart , by refusing to exchange with our
"little 8x12 sheet. " 'Shall the presence
of the Sun nevermore give us renewed
courage and inspiration we perish.
Hence this lachrymose demonstration.

their herds. Mr. Roxby was unable
determine the cause of the sudden
$
death of his stock , although he made as
careful and thorough examination as
possible ( , finding the stomachs of the
dead , animals considerably inflamed. He
says that death ensues shortly after the
first ] symptoms of the disease are appar
ent ] , and that the animals become wild
and frantic in their movements.
