Gem in the glorious throne,
That decks the Saviour's brow."

To the Public:
Be cautious of Wm. H. Cain, Constable; he is a man who will meddle himself with others. He has told willful and notorious lies on me, and will, no doubt, do the same on others--such a man, I fear, will do worse had he an opportunity.
I am compelled in justice to myself to warn the public, and all good citizens against such a liar.
