HOPEVILLE Intended for last week We are glad to see in the Review, a new eorrespondent has sprung up at a place called Campbell’s Corners and is likely to be a good one, although the epistle tlovis not say where $b Campbell's Corner's tr is. There are several set- tlements of Campbell's in Proton town- ship. We are ot the opinion that it is not tar from Beer Street, one of the suburbs of our town: and I would not be surprised bat that it would take in part of Beer street being again re- christened by the temperance element in that section.
