| Description | The parties who joined in the note came over yesterday and paid the first instalment, after deducting property tax, which Curties encloses, with the note, which must be preserved till the next payment becomes due. Fears that Johnson will not bear Cheshire out in the sense he has applied "tithing"; Curtis believes the word applies to the act of tithing the corn in kind in the field, and not to the payment made by way of commutation, or the day on which it is paid. (Dated Wednesday morning.) |
