Rather, they would laud his bravery. The ear he bag in view, the preservation of the in- dependence of his country, justifies him in committing what otherwise would be BRANDY murder.

The freight Steamer Companies are the principal cause of the rise in prioss of the

Taking advantage of the present situation, they have increased their freight tariff, bency the price of the goods has also increased; they are reaping · the benefit of the war. If such is the case.
