[Footnote A: The following advertis.e.m.e.nt from the ”Weekly Journal,” of July 1, 1841, will show that people were not more honest in former times than they are now:

FENCE IN THE FOG.

The fence around the Baptist Church in this village, has disappeared very mysteriously during the past winter.

Whether _strayed or stolen_ it is not yet definitely ascertained; but from circ.u.mstances recently developed, the latter idea seems most conclusive. Rumor says it has been tracked going Westward; but still, as the Church is located on quite an elevated piece of ground, and near the brink of the hill, it is possible that it may have slid off to the Eastward.

Any person who will give correct information where said fence may be found, or where it was last seen after leaving the premises, will be liberally rewarded by the trustees of the Baptist society. Any person wis.h.i.+ng to make any confession in relation to it, may rely upon having profound secrecy maintained by applying soon to _one_ of the Deacons of the Church.

Oneonta, May 20, 1841.]
