And IL that is no, far enough back TO satisfy the
minds Of some who may be very curious TO know,
will fu iher siaie that for three years previous
Ia my residing al Diver, | was student at the
University at Newbury, Vermont.
This carres me back some years into my mi.
norty, aud # my friends or rea iivrs got me mar.
ried pfOr 10 INV recollection, then cannot really
feel myself To blame. What have said has been
solely in vndca,ion Of my own character, not
purpo.ing 10 injure the feelings Of any. Those
who have got up and circulated ihoss. reports,
have done ne really very great injustice, but
themselves n greater. And if IN such they find
plrosurc, envy them not their happiness In
iha, day which >hall give to every one the Just
reward OF their deeds, in h, life, truth and righ'
shall triumph. .. ID. ADAMS.
