MR. THOMPSON'S ADDRESS
ON  HECEIVING     THE    PHILADEI.I'III.".   BANNER.
All.nv IM.; Sir, on behall' i.f the Taylor Tarty (if the Oonnty of I.ujiraaler to rotin-Ji thnnnjh v.,u ll, the oalhuit R.iuyh and U<!.-idy n„:i, ol Thil- adellihia now innsellt, auil 1" the thousands o noble spirits whom yuu reiJresent, their cordial acltuowledgementa lor this beautilul and c.-illj Baiiuer, of which yuu mo pleased to say lla-y ure pre-eminently worlliy. \V>th Ineud y givel ing uud with the fmteriial grasp ol lollow hi- bi.rer.s iu a sacked canse, you have this day mmle us Iruly sensible of llie lively sympathy and tbe generous selitiineiil that pervades separale mas bes uf the great liepuhliiau I'arty —a paity llii.l knows no seclional distinction, aud that is luilis- Biiliibly bound logether by a commoa desire to preserve nniinpuired the luslitutious that have Je.scnded toils from the Fathers of the Revolu¬ iion, The Great .\grieultunil Couniy of the ruioii welcomes to her embrace the jiatriotic t.ru,s of tho great commercial emporium of the .State, and while we sliuU ever cherish with eino- li..dsi.f lively gralitiulo tbis trophy of the great jiolilical contest of lhe age, it will be doubly dear lo US ascomilig from the inhabilanls of thai great cily from whoee house tops were lirsl pro- ¦ laiuied Liberty aud Independence uud whoso tUale Iiouse Bell lir,st rang the knell of Tyranny ^-ihe merry chime of a New Bmii Republic,— .Most worthy desceudunts of illnslrious Sires ! well and manfully have you shown iu lhe recent contest that the tire of Liberty is still kindled ou ynnr Altars. Your Futlier.< were among llie iirst lo draw the sword in defeiico of the rights i,f the I'eoplo of the Colonies. Vou by your lii- umphaut majorities aitest your devotion tolhe righls of the'l'eople of lhe Ainerican Republic— and in alter ages when jiosterity binds green la- rels arouud the brows of Ihoae who achieved lhe Revolution of lhe Sword, she will entwine a second wrialh iu memory of those whom you represeul, aud who gallantly led the Vaiiguaril in the more peaceful revolution ofthe Ballol-lJo.x. You have beeu pleased to honor us this day wilh atoken of the value you jdace upon our ser- V ices in the past campaign—you have selected tlic choicestlabrics—decorated it with the handiwork ofa reliiied tasle and embellished it with lhe exquisite creation of a l'ainler*s skill—we be¬ hold emblazoned ou its.aiuple folds the likeness of thai great man who by the briUiancy of his achieveiiients has astonished the world—by lhe modesty of his Je.spalclies captivated lhe Nation, and by llie plain and simple lone of his corres jiondeuce has carried us back to the prisLiue days ol the Kepublie and to the political doc¬ trines Inuglit iu lhe schools of ^Vushiugtou and of .leliersou. That Ihe Will of the I'eople ex¬ pressed llirough Iheir representatives iu Con¬ gress is to control, and that will is uot to be defeated by the iulerposition of the Volo—is a principle the bare auuuuclaliou of whicll carries wilh it self evident uemoiistl-ation. It is tin; doctrine of the Conslitution—the ctirdinul—iht distiuclive feature of our (ioverumeul. What wonder was it then thai the patriotic citizens ol this county eullmsiastically rallied iu suppoil of that illustrious chief who. Hushed wilh all the honors uf a successful campaign, could so far di¬ vest liiiiiself of lhe weakness to which huinuii nature is prone, and amid the plainness and sim¬ plicity uf the camp-room set forth this doctrine of his Tolitical Kaitli. When our I'alhers launch ed Ihu Ship of Slate freighted with the goodly treasures of onr infant republic, this wus the compass by which to guide the vessel over tlie trackless waters—aud now when the political horizon was overcast with clouds and impending darkness obscured ibe view, wheu the roaring ol the political maelstroom llmt ibrealcued lo engull the ship was heard in tho distance, the laboring crew called lo the deck and placed at tbe helm the weather-beaten pilot who by tlial compass will guide the vessel into the smooth aud slormless ocean of political prosperily. threat niau ! li name wus a tower of strength-—his deeds, the udmiration of the World—his soutimeuls, the- creed of Republicanism-—bis characler, lhe pu¬ rity of virtue.
The sun never rose on a more augusi spectacle Ihau was presented in this county on the sev¬ enth of November. Every where Ihroughout ils widely extended confines the people, filled will, the most entliusiaslic senliment aud slimnlated by tbemost delermined lesoluiiou, lefl their homes, their busiucas aud their labors—consecraliug one day lo the service of their counlry, and esteem¬ ing uo sacriiice lou great in the aitempi to restore the palmy days of ihe Republic. The farmer left the plough ou the uewly made furrow—the nieclianic threw aside the apron anil closed the work-shuji, aud lhe men-haul abtnidoned the counter—the liehl fattened for the winter grain vvas deserted—the wheel at the mill slood slill— the busy hum of the fartory was liiislied—the anvil no longer shook with the ponderous blows of brawny arin.s—lhe busy thorough-fares of en¬ terprize were silent—all, all had gone forth with tl freeman's sjiirit and with lhe sure weapon ofa peaceful revolution in theirliands, and when the suu iu its apparent revolution had crosseil the meridian aud sank iulo lhe glowing west—we in common with thousands and lens of thousands in other counties and iu other .Slates, joiued with notes of gladness in the earthquake shoul of tri¬ umph that echoed aud re-echoed o'er the hills aud vallies ofa regenerated Republic,
It would ill become me to omit on this interes¬ ting occasion that of those who contribnted lo this glorious result to none are the Peojde of Pennsvlvania more indebted thau to the dislin guished gentleman who now occupies the (bi- bernalorial chair of this Commonwealih, Fear¬ less in the discharge of every duty iu his legisla¬ tive career—the oruament of lhe .Senate Ullamber —he is endeared to lhe People of tliis Slate by every virlue llmt adorns the Man. The conii¬ dence inspireil by llis eleciion—llis invaluable personal serviites in the c:impaigii and the guar¬ anty tlial by him the integrity of the Keystone State wonld be preserved inviolate, were the sure precursors of that great aud lasting triumph which il is this day our pleusuie lo celebrate.
Allow me then on behalf of the Taylor men of this county lo e.vpress to you the grateful sense of the obligatinu you have imposed on tlieni by the presentation of this gorgeous Rainier. Ever dear to llieir hearts and Ireasured aniong the choicest reminiscences of the past campaign will be the estimate you havo put upon tlieir humble services. They sought no lame save to be num¬ bered among those who conscientiously discharge their duty—ibey sotight no reward save the in¬ ward joy tbat warms the patriot's breast. Ever mindful of the great services of our illustrious chief thoy gratefully honored him to wliuiu all honor is due—while plain and republican in llieir habits they sought to elevate to the high jilaces of thu nation those who seemed deeply imbued with the republican siuiplicity of our (iovernmcut.
Your presence here to-day tells ns we have done well—may we ever be found under the samo banner—may we ever ba ranged shoulder to slioulder when a violated Constitution calls us fo the rescue. In the name of the Committee 1 represent—in the imme of lllis enthusiastic as¬ semblage—in the name of the Great Taylor Par¬ ly of the County of Lancaster, I present you with llieir most cordial acknowkdgnients, and everdear to us all will be the recollection of out- services, for they have gained your applause.

IiitercsUng Slave Case.
All interesling trial came ofl" last week in the Conrl of Common Pleas of Cumbeiand Couniy, ill wliich the children of a Mr. Oliver, lateof Arkansas, deceased, were the plainliflij, and Daniel Kauflman, of South Middleton. in Cumberland Connty, defendant. It was an action on the case, to recover damages (laid at S3500) frora the defendant, for entic¬ ing, aiding and assising the slaves of the plain- tiiis to escape, whereby their services were eniirely lost to the plaintifts.
From the evidence it appeared Ihal Mr. Oliver died in Aikansas, inteslate, leaving among other personal property a number ol slaves, which by proceedings in the Court in that Slate were divided between his wiilow and heirs (four children, the piaintifls,) at a valuation. The widow and heirs removed to Maryland with these slaves, and in Oclober, 18-17,thiileen of them ran off and came inlo Pennsylvania. They consisted of two men, two women, and nine children, male ar.d fe¬ male of various ages. They arrived in Cham¬ bersburg, and as it appears in evidence, were escorted from there by a colored man named George Cole, along lhe South Mountain to the Barn, of Mr. Kauffman, in South Middleton. Here Ihey remained a few hours, were fed by Mr. Kauffman, and removed further on in his wagon.   This is the substance ofthe evidence.
The trial occupied lhe w^hoIe day, and the jury after being oul all nighl, rendered a ver¬ dict of S2000 damages for the plaintiflfs. A motion for a new trial was raade by defend¬ ant's Counsel, which molion is still" pending. —Herald.
Paddv not to be noNE.—A newly import¬ ed Irishman was one day sianding, with his hook under his arm, at a shop window not thirty miles from Glasgow. The shopkeeper observing him from the door, accosted him thus:—" Well, Pat, what do you wanl in my line to-day 1" " What you have not to give me,'' rejoined the Irishman. " I'll wager pound I have what you want,'' returned the former. The latter, pulling a pound from his rags, replied—" It's done, table your dust. 1 want a sheath for my hook." 'i'o poor Pat's astonishment and mortiflcalion, the sheath was produced. Away he went lo the harvest, how¬ ever, leaving the pound wilh the shopkeeper But not to be beat, he called on his way home, and in the presence of a wilness, thus ad¬ dressed him: '' Well, Mr.- , what will you
take for as much tobacco as will reach from my one ear to the other'!" " A penny," was the reply. This being agreed to, the grocer cut off aboul a foot of tobacco, and was ahout to apply the extremities to Pat's ears, when the latter, poiniing fiis finger upwards, exult¬ ingly exclaimed, "there is one ear, but the other is nailed to the back of the jail door at Dublin." The duped grocer was obliged to give his ingenious antagonist forty pounds of tobacco before he could get quit of him.
Another Case or Hydrophobia—A hor¬ rible case of hydrophobia occurred last week at Kingston, Canada. The victim was Mr. Duke, of the Commissariat Department, who had heen bitten about three weeks previously by a strange cal. From Friday morning, the 26lh, to the moment of his death on Sunday evening, lhe 29lh, he neilher eal, drank, nor slepl—was perfeclly sensible nf his fate, and in the fruitless hope of averting il, made use of every poasible effort lo oveicome the slrong repugnance he fell against water; bul the sight of this or any other fluid, produced a sensation which he described as undergoing suffocation from drowning, his whole frame becoming fearfully convulsed ; and ou one oc¬ casion, when attempting lo iniroduce a small quantity of moislure into his mouth, which he suggested might be done by means of a sy- liiige, the shock was so great as to make him spiing involuntarily from the floor and sirike his head againsi the ceiling, about ten feel high. What marks this case with a characler peculiaily dislressing, ie, that the deceased has left a widow with six .small children, and on the eve of giving birlh lo a sevenih, with¬ out a relation in all Canada, or means to de fi.ay the expenses of her liiisband's funeral.

A Puzzle.—At the e.xamination ofa paro¬ chial school, a reverend gentleman was asking a class the meaning of words. They answer¬ ed very well lill he gave "backbiter." This seemed a puzzler. It went down the clasa, till it came to a simple little urchin, who look¬ ed sheepishly knowing, and said, " Il may be a flea."

THE DESERTED ROAD.
AsciHST road, tlial winj'sl deserted riiiougli Uie level of Uie vale,
Sweeping lowards Uie ciowdad inarki-t I.iKe a stream without a sail;
SluaduiK by thee, I look l.aekwnrd. And, as lu Ihe lij-hl of dreams,
bee Uie years descend and vanish. Like thy vvhilely lealed u-ams.
Here 1 stroll along the village
As ill yoalU's departed iiioni; Bul I iniss lhe crowded coaches,
And the driver's bugle horn- Miss the crowd of jovial tennisters
Filling backets at lhe wells, With their wains from Conesloga,
And Ihoir orchestra of bells.
To the mossy way-side tavera Comes tbe noisy ihrong no more,
Aad lhe faded sign, complaining. Swings, unnoticed, at the doorj
While thc old, decrepid tollman, Waning for lhe few who pass.
Reads thu melanclioly story In the thickly springing grass.
Ancient highway, thoa an vanquished ;
The asarper of the vale Rolls ill fiery iron rattle,
Exultations on the gale,
Thou art vanquished and neglected;
Bul the good which thou bast done, Though by maa it be forgotten.
Shall be deatblesB as the sun.
Tboagh neglected, gray and grassy, Still I pray that ray decline
May be through a> vernal v»lley», Aai as blest a calm as thme.
(Correspoadeire of the Examiner i, llerald,] New Yoek, Dec. 3,1848. During the past week the city has been filled withinerabers of Congress and Senators on their way to Washington. The Whig por¬ tion weie in good spirits, and seemed to relish the wo-begohe countenances of the hang¬ ers-on abont the Custom House and Post Of¬ fice.
The Canal Commissioners liave given pub¬ lic notice that the Canals in this State will be closed for business on the 9th inst., whether Jack Frost likes it oi not; he, however, haa the preference, and has iheir permission to do so firsl. This measure is deemed advisable, as there is a vast amonnt of labor lo be expend¬ ed this winter in widening lhe New York and Erie Canal; and asihe merchants have for¬ warded down all the produce they have, no interference will be manifest to trade. A heavier business has been done than was ex¬ pected; the lulls amounting to aboul 83,300,- 000.
Business in the cily is now very quiet, the lhe wholesale stores look bare of good3,and lhe merchants are posting books and preparing to I'ike stock against January first.
The Gold fever in California has e.itended ilself Ihis far, and speculators are fitting out vessels with assorted cargoes for that region. I look upon this iliscovery as a great evil, il will produce idleness, robberies, and murders. The inhabilanls will neglect the cultivation of lhe soil, and ihe- introduction of manufacto- lies, bolh of which in the end, would produce raore happiness to the people than Gold.— Those who have possession of the coveted ar¬ ticle will be plundered, perhaps murdered, by men who are not scrupulous as lo the means of obtaining so long as they do obtain it. The worst characters in the country will find tha' ia the place for them, and ere long they will be found duping the poor fellows, who have half starved themselves in obtaining the wealth, gamblers, and every species of rob¬ bers will hasten there, and enrich ihemselves by all the worthless arls they are practised in. Moses Y. Beach, for the last fourieen yeais the proprietor of that daily hedge podge of scissorings, immoral advertisements, and ideal financiering,called the "Sun," evacuated yes¬ lerday from the proprietorship of the concern. Heis succeeded by two sons, one of whom has been sometime aaaociated with him. Ill health is the plea for " Moses " retiring; that may be true, for aught 1 know. But some people seem to think the " Sun" does not shine so brightly for the owners as it did some four or five years ago, and as the lale '' Head " is a pretty cunning old fox, he may have deem¬ ed it wise to step out just now. On Friday he gave his editorial brethren a treat, by way of taking leave of the craft. The supper was very magnificent and the delicacies set before the fraternity disappeared in away that show¬ ed the host's good things in the shape of eata¬ bles and drinkables could be appreciated phy¬ sically, as well as a good " leader" or '• item" menially.
The following toast was laid uuder lhe table : '•'The modest and modern Banker and Finan¬ cier of the day"—may every opposer of " Le¬ high" be stuck on a '¦ Plain Field," or sent to 'Jacksonville"to rusticate ou "Beach Leaves." The War in Mexico being ended ; the Re¬ bellion in Ireland nipped in the bud ; the elec- of General Taylor decided, editors and oth¬ ers begin to get scarce uf matter to fill the pa¬ pers, any little event which happens is iooked upon as a sort of God-send, and the smallest trifle is spun out lo make columns, where par¬ agraphs would have done.
The emeute belween the rival tradgedians Macready and Forrest has furnished any quan¬ tity of " nuts to crack." They seem to me a good deal like two school boys quarreling over a marble, bolh afraid, yet both apparently very brave. The meanness of bolh to Iheir less fortunate brethren of the sock and bus¬ kin, is eo proverbial that their quarrel aboul honor, hissing, writing down, Sec, is looked upon with the most ineffable contempt by all parlies, bolh aclors and admirers of the drama. Forrest's card, however, has lowered him very much in the estimation of his friends, and those who never did think him much, laugh at his pomposily and '' talk frog,'' the fable 1 need nol repeat.
Another subject which furnishes inalerial to expand upon i.^ the " Butler " case in Phil¬ adelphia. Here we have anoiher pet of the drama, spoiled by the public in the first place, and then too much indulged by a nol over¬ stocked with prudence or mental strength— husband. It was an ill-assorted match, fire and water would harmonize as well. One all talent, energy and intellect; the other rich, indolent and easy. At the lime of their mar¬ riage it was conceded to be an ill-advised one, and is likely to terminate as predicted. The counsel engaged in the cause now pending in Philadelphia, have displayed much legal acumen in discussing the question of divorce. The speech of John Cadwalader was so deep, and so steeped in legal lore, that the bench and bar were 60 amazed at John's learning, that it is saitl Ihey left the court Iiouse pro¬ foundly ignorant of what he was driving at. Mr. Choate, of Bosion, is said to have made one of the most brilliant speeches in favor ol his fair client, that ever fell from the lips of this gifted oraior. Mr. Meredith and Vice President Dallas did their best lo uphold the character of the far-famed bar they are mem¬ bers of, but they could not reach the towering intellect of the " Yankee '' lawyer.
We New Yorkers do not like to be out-done by onr neighbors, therefore we  have had a small outbreak at the Opera.   Benedetli, the tenor of the Opera, it is said refused  to sing wilh Madam Laborde in " Norma," and also cast some reflections on the singing of that excellent cantratrice.    This, coming to the ears of that erratic animal " the public," Ben¬ edetli got hissed.   Then came explanations from the manager " Fry," and Benedetli, and as bolh had  their  friends a   division   look took place, and a scene occurred which was not in the hills of the play.   When the two principals got behind the scenes a regular set- loo occurred.   Fry giving the Italian a hit on the noae, whilsl the latter made a thrust al the former with his sword, but which was fortu¬ nately prevented reaching the manager by some of the commitiee who were present.— Jealousy is the primary cause of this trouble. Truffi got jealous of Mailame Laborde in Phil¬ adelphia, and hence all these subsequent tur¬ moils amongst the llalian singers.   The man¬ ager has hia hands full in this Opera troupe, and Unless he is careful, he will end in a " slew " instead of being a fortunate '¦' Fry." On Thursday next a grand benefit is to be given to the family of the late manager, Simp¬ son, at the Park theatre.   AU the great actors of lhe da.y'have volunteered except the two immense tragedians.     Mr. Simpson did more than any other man lo bring these men before the American public, and died poor, by allow¬ ing himself to be plundered by these and similar cormorants under tha garb of stars. These " stars" demand   snch  extravagant prices for their appearance aa to render it im¬ possible for managers to pay expenses, not¬ withstanding full houses may be the conse¬ quence.    The tickets are one dollar with the privilege of paying as much more for one as you please, and it may be, they may prefer taking a ticket to playing themselves.

A BU ofRomance.
It is a trite, but at the same time true rer mark, that the ieal incidents of life constantly occuring around us,-possess a far morerijman- tio interesl than fanciful ones conceived in the teeming brain of the novelist. Of this the fol¬ lowing " o'er true fale," told us in briet by the Sleward of the packet boat Louisiana, on Saturday, will fuinish an illustration.
' Some ten yeara ago, as our readers will re¬ member, there was what was termed a re¬ bellion in Canada, and after the " patriots " were subdued, some were summarily execut¬ ed, and a portion banished for a long term of years lo Australia. Most of these latter weie men with families, from which they were lorn wilhout mercy, lo expiate, in a far dis¬ tant land, by imprisoment and hard tabor, the crime of having failed in their atlempt to nd their counlry of the evils of misgovernment. VVe Ihink they acled very unwi-sely in pro¬ ceeding lo the lengih they did, but this poinl we shall nol slop to consider. With one of these expatriated men our lale has chiefly lo do.
For seven or eight weaiy years he had borne the hardships of a lonely captivity, hopeless of ever seeing home or friends again, when a general amnesty was proclaimed by the Brilish government in regard lo all, with one or two exceptions of those who had been concerned in the rebellion. Our hero was now at liberty, and his first thought was to seek his home. But he had no means lo pay hia passage there, and he accordingly shipped on board a whaling vessel, which, at the end of two years more, landed him upon his native shore.
Wife, children and friends filled his thoughts, and he hastenedj on to his old; residence in Canada. Everything remained as it had been—neighbois and friends greeted hirn as he passed—bnt now his heart sunk within hiiB 10 find the homestead deserted, and learn that his wife had been married two years to another, supposing the "husband'of her youth'' lo be dead. She and her new found mate had left that part of the country and settled somewhere in Illinois.
The poor man felt desolate indeed, and he determined to see, and, if possible, lo reclaim his wife and children. After weary Iravel, and many inquiries, he traced her to Knoxco, Illinois, where they were comfortably settled in their new home. There he presented him¬ self a few days since. The wife could not have been more surprised or pained lo see an apparition from the grave, for she had long considered hira as dead. The new husband, loo, was ralher disagreeably surprised lo see belore him a claimant for his wife. Whal should be done? The first husband was anx¬ ious to obiain the lady ; the second was dis¬ inclined to give her up, looking upon his claim as good.
They were reasonable people all round.— The original claimant remained in the neigh¬ borhood a couple of weeks, during which time the malter was frankly talked over. At lasl lhe rivals came lo the very just and reasona¬ ble conclusion that the lady was the peison lo make a final decision of the question, and to her it was mutually agreed lo refer it, giving her lime lo consider it in all ils bearings.
What more perplexing posiiion could a wo¬ man be placed in than this ¦? Here two men had almost equal claims upon her affections. One was the father of her children; but one— the companion of her youth—the other, bound to her by near and sacred lies, and by the mu¬ tual love they bore an infant which had been born lo them. She could not for a momenl decide—what true hearted woman could ?— A tumult of thoughts and emotions filled her heart, alternately swaying her from side to side. Thus the conflict lasted for several days, liuring which time she was enabled to look clearly into her own heart, and at laat ahe was ready for a decision. Which could she choose but the man around whom were twined the' tendrils of a first and strong affection—to whom she had given the first offering of her hearl ¦? The needle may vibrate for a time, but it points at last with unfailing constancy to the never-setting Slar of the North ; and in Uke manner, the heart of a true woman, hav¬ ing in the wide universe but one fitting mate, will, after all vicissitudes, lurn lovingly lo the sunny warmth of her " first, only love."
A disposition of the youngest must now be made; and it was mutually agreed by the two raen, that as it could not be deprived of a mother's care, the first husband should lake it wilh the children, to be restored to the falher at sorae fuiure time. The uniied family now made preparations to go lo a new homo, and so gieat was the interest excited in the neigh¬ borhood by this singular affair, that as raany as as one hundred and fifty persons frora the vicinity were present lo wilness their depar¬ ture. On Saturday last they came up on the packet Louisiana, on their way to Michigan, where they will lake up their residence.
We nalurally sympathize with the first hus¬ band, to whom the wife and children are re¬ stored; but who will nol feel for the bereave¬ ment of the second 1

UMBRELLAS, SPECTACLES,&C.
INASMUCH as an   UmbrpUa Manu- *¦ faciurer and Optician aeems to be need- ^ I ful to the cilizens of Lancaster
and its vicinity, I have, therefore, been induced to establish this iny business here, in the city of Lan¬ caater, and hereby respectfully announce to the pub- io, that my large and well selected aasorlment of Silk and Cotton Umbrellas, Parasols and Sun- ahadea, will always consist ofthe neweat Paris and Philadelphia fashiona, and will be sold at the moat reduced prices.
At the aame time Umbrellas will be made on the shortest notice and on the moat reasonable terma.
But my extenaive assortment of Speclacles, suit¬ able for persons that are Near-sighted, Far-sighted, orafflicted withCataract, is more especially worlhy of notice. Glasses willbe put intospectacle frames, according to order. Also Barometers, Thermom¬ eters, Lorgnette, Perspectivea, &,c., &.c.
My atore is located in North Queen sireel, in the square from the Railroad towards the Court House, on the left side of the sireet. It is supplied with signs, atul with red and white Umbrellas, which must be strictly observed in onlfr to pur¬ chase cheap Umbrellas aud Spectacles.
1 have my own people to work and sell ior mn, and have, therefore, no workmen.at the ratf .if nine dollars per week, nor attendanis in my store, at the rateof twelve doUarsper week, not yet a rent, of two ihousand dollars per annum, to pay, as is ihe case in large cities. I can, therefore, sell lower, both wholesale and retail, than they; and each one will readily perceive, that Storekeepers, who make their purchases in large cities, mustsell much high¬ er than I do.
