Seventy Wears Hgo

From me "NonTH-CHINA Dairy News," or Avcusr 7, 1870

A correspondent of the "China Mail" writes:—Whilst taking a stroll the Other day in the new City, I observed some Chinese engaged in' posting up papers in the corners of the streets, both outside and inside the city walls. Enquiring as to the purport of the documents, I was informed that they Were proclamations issued by the Footai warning the people against molesting foreigners. The vagabonds are very plainly warned that if any one is caught throwing anything at foreigners, he will be put to death and cut into 60 pieces.
