One day last week, we took.the trouble of counting the number in a single c??py of the' Commercial, and it was over a thousand.! When we re member that a single column-in that paper contains over three hundred names, and then call to mind the "multitude of columns" we have seen, we no longer wonder what has be come of our men; ou the contrary, we won der where all the people, hate come from.
