Comments by "Slem" Published for the protection of the Press and the Public Generally. Swayed Neither by Fear, Favor, Nor Affection, We shall Speak of Men As we Find Them. The following named individuals have "victimized" us in the tune of the amounts set up opposite to their names--Our brethren of the Press and the Public generally will do well to be on their guard while dealing with them. He who would cheat the printer would scruple at nothing. Moses Douty, Esquirer,-------------------------$6.75 Cheating us out of the above snug sum, affords a fair specimen of the manner in which Moses dispenses justice and how well qualified he was to discharge the duties of his office. After impairing the eye-sight of quite a number of our citizens, he sloped off for Baltimore, leaving a host of friends to mourn their loss. We commend him to the "Plug Uglies," "Rip Raps," & c., as a fit recruit for their ranks. E. A. C. Douty-------------------------------------$4.00 This lazy puppy is a 'chip of the old block,' who exemplifies the truth of the old adage "like daddy like child" and "what is bred in the bone won't come out of the flesh" He also has "sloped" to the more congenial atmosphere of Baltimore. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Dr. W. E. Hott, Syracuse, N.Y.---------------------------$7.50 This impudent quack bled us to the above tune for advertising. He is an arrant knave, who, making his living by means of the Press, is mean enough to cheat printers. We hope when sick, he may be quacked to death by some brother quack. Rev. W. S. Keys, Tyrone, Pa.------------------------------$2.00 This political person who sports the "cambric" extensively, owes us the above sum for printing "Notices to K. N. Councils" stating his terms for lecturing before them. We should think that his "Intense Americanism" should lead him to pay his honest debts. We hand him over to the tender mercy of his conscience-if he has any, if not, to that of his friends and prototypes. L. Palmer & Co., Traveling Opticians-------------------$1.50 The above firm was composed of a couple of precious rascals, "dutch as sour crout," who passed themselves off as opticians. Whether they were or not, we don't know, but we do know, that instead of improving the sight of our "peepers" they effectually "Closed them up" Cummings & Co., Traveling Ambrotypists---------------$1.25 This is another pair of contemptible knaves. Their skill was striking exemplified in our sad experience, they having left an indelible impression on our memory, that we were the victims of misplaced confidence. Richard White----------------------------------------$4.00 This falsely named gent has left town without settling up with us, thus leaving a black record against him on our books, and getting his name on our black list. It is not the only black act he has been guilty of. A. Clarke----------------------------------------------$1.50 We suppose this gent had not time to settle this small bill before leaving, as he left town about a hundred yards ahead of the constable, making 2.40 time. G. W. Tryon--------------------------------------------$2.50 This gent tried us on to the above tune and then put us off by absquatulating without paying. Thos. Lee, Jr.,, town owing us-----------------------$2.50 Lang & Warner left town owing us----------------------$4.25 Daniel S. Gardner left town owing us-------------------$2.50 L. Karg left town owing us------------------------------$3.00 A. J. Anderson left town owing us----------------------$1.00 The above is only the first chapter of our "Life Pictures." We have ample material for a dozen more, which will appear in due time. -------------------------------- Traverse Jurors Selected for the Second Week Ayres, M.

The meeting, I believe, was well attended. Committees were appointed; resolutions drawn up and submitted and a plan developed, to assist the necessitous these trying times. It is as follows: The appointment of a committee of ten (five ladies and five gentleman) who are to collect money and provisions and find who are the needy and relieve them; also, a Treasurer, who is to receive all the money collected; and the selection of another committee to inquire who are in need of employment; and do all in their power to obtain it for them. By them means their condition will be greatly ameliorated. A bold and successful burglary was committed last week in this place, Dr. Johnson was the sufferer by it. His residence as is supposed, was entered by the thief, or thieves, through a back window, some very valuable clothing and such articles of provisions as could be easily secured were carried off, I head this morning that some trace of the missing articles had been discovered. It would be equally agreeable to ascertain who appropriated them.
