his guards, and-the fact that Hunt

gui.tvand placed his guard in an
unenviable position.
'The Forum has been the recip
ier.t of innumerable compliments on
the newsy edition of last week. We
aim to surpass all previous issues

news is news; printed while it is

of his recapture, which is certain if
he does not, wid hardly be given a

charged with an offense until prov
