% An article in the last Yeoman on the
subject of the Young Mems Celebration'of
the late anniversary in this town, has given
general and just offence to all who shar-
ed in the festivities of that occasion, as
well as to others. 1t is, we believe, univer-
sally admitted, that great credit attaches to
the young men for the regard to good order
and sobrety that prevailed Instead of re-
naming to make the night merry by pro-
tracted potatons, the company left the ia
BILE at a seasonabe hour. One of the Sc
lectmen of the town remarked to us, that he
had attended twenty celebrations of the day
IN this place, and on no former occasion had
all things been conducted in so exem-
plary manner. We are astonshed that a
mere personal pique flor such must have
been the motive of the writer and 2nblisher)
should have led to such distortion of facts
on the part of the Yeoman, especially as the
reputation of a considerable portion of our
Industrious and respectable young men is
affected by the statement. We understand
that Immediately after the offensive publ
cation, note was addressed 10 the Editor
by those who presided at the table, request
ing the name of the author, which reasona-
bic request has been as yet disregarded.

RAIL ROAD MEETING. A meeting Of
citizens interested in the construction of u
Rail Road between Boston and this town,
took place on Monday evening, when S. NJ.
Burnside. Esq, was called to the chair, and
l. Goodwin, Esq. chosen Secretary. The
meeting was addressed by several gentle
men, who expressed their opinion of the
practlcabillty of the enterprise. and of its
great Importance to the prosperity of this
town and the adjacent country. 1t was
shown that the estimated expense of con-
struction and equipment, (S25,0OO per mile
was much higher than estimates on other
routes, and probably exceeded what would
be the actual cost. And even should it fall
short, the stock must be valuable property
at considerably greater expenditure OF
capital. The estimated amount required is
one million, but should million and hal
prove necessary to complete the undertak
ing, fair profit will be realized.
We understand tina: ITO shares have been
subscribed for by gentlemen in this town.

0FThe Editor of the Yeoman, with that
peculiar courtesy and fairness Characteristic
of the columns of his paper, endeayors to
create false Impressions in relation to the
conduct of the publishers of the Spy. who
are accused OF charging the sum of one dol
lar for the insertion of an advertise uenf of
an .4nf.mdSonac Celebration, and then pIac-
ing IL IN an obscure corner of the paper.
Inc advertisement referred to related to
the celebration at Ward, and was published
IN the Spy of the 29th ult., and by reference
to the paper of that date it will he seen that
instead OF beng inserted in an obscure man
ner 1t was placed first among the new adj
Vertlsements, In as conspicuous IL manner
as possible.
1t has long been the custom of printers
to charge for the publications relating to
festive meetings. The notices Of the cele-
bratlons OF the late anniversary, in Wor-
cester and the neighborng towns, were
all offered as advertisements. inserted as
such, and paid fol- cheerfullg at the usual
rates, with one single exception. The Ed
ltor OF the Yeoman, is the only individual
to our knowledge, who has had the mean
ness to complain of the payment ofthe prin-
ter's dues. Not intending to participate,
In any way, III the controversy in which he
is enlisted, there existed no reason for max
ing distinction in favor of his party, when
charges were made and paid for the inser-
ton of every notice of Masonic or other
public meeting. The complaint of the
charge OF one dollar comes with peculiar
grace from the conductor of a paper whose
proprletors have demanded and received
t,0O dollars fol- the insertion of a similar no.
tice in its columns.
The public have long ceased to be sur
prsed at any misrepresentation manating
from the Editor of the Yeoman His mis-
statements only excite pity for that defcien-
cy Misunderstanding which cannot compre-
bend the painest matter, and the cxclama-
ton, "poor tellOs0! how should he know
