A leather-dealer in the "Swamp" writes to us, asking whether we cannot
administer a good leathering to the prowlers who infest that district at

which is more than can be said in this section, where it looks as though

the South this year as there was last season, owing to the fact, no
doubt, that the Government has gone into the business of "raising Cain"
so extensively in that section.

Woman."
