A mess of "bile" emanating from a "sour stomach" or an "emollient brain" was thrown at The Times in the latest attempt of the "blanket sheet" published at Ryan. To the "mistake of the Almighty," who was the author of it, we pause to say, that our attention is to much taken up with duties of a more important nature than "sewer-cleaning," but when the opportunity presents itself, we shall certainly consider it a charitable act to disinfect the "putrid pile" generally known at The Ryan Record.
