CONFESSION OFF CRAMp

The following affecting document was fur
nished us, by the politeness Of Capt c. T.
Whitney, of West Mendon, N. Y. 10 whom
We acknowledge ourselves highly indebted
The following is Capt Whilneys note to
us. We admire the irmness, caudor, and
composure with which Mr.. Cramp writes
under such awful circumstances. This is a
heavy blow to Inlidelty.
WEST MENDoN, ~ Y Jan. 20, 1886.
ELDER j. BADGER-Dear Sir: James
Cramp was one of the unfortunate victims
that was shot by the Mexican corps on the
18th Of December last which you have
probably seen in the public prints He was
a resident of our village the last three years
He left this place in the spring of lsS5 for
New York from there he shipped TO Tex
as. He was very much respected, and rank
ed among the first in our village for talent
His death and remuneration of inlidelty was
a heavy blow to his former associates. But
little else was talked about fol several days
after his letter was received. Should YOU
think this letter worthy of place in the
Palladium, you will oblige many of your
readers by inserting it.
