Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
slanderous report impeaching my charac-
ter for honesty, having been freely circulated
recently, drought about, as | am constrained
to believe, with malicious intent,) am forced,
in order to repel and render harmless the base
calumny, to seek the medium of the press,
through which to make known to the public
FACTS relative to the Blankets advertised in
the Times, few weeks since, and which were
returned by me:
On the evening of the 18th ultimo, my bro
ther-in-law, ID. E. HUBBARD, was coming on the
cars en- route for my residence, and, while on
the way, was taken with a chill /; two horse
blankets were lying in the car, and, no one
using them (he owner having got out at Mid
dletown) he put them on to keep him warm,
remarkIng to the three persons present, that
he would return them the following morn
| ing. CThe owner, it appears, instead of
stopping at Middletown, as MIR. H. thought,
only changed cars and continued in the same
train.) Upon arriving at my house, he repeat
ed his intention of returning the blankets, when
| said, would send them to the Depot for him,
in time for the morning train. The blankets
were then laid in my office, but, being removed
by a servant and placed in an unoccupied apart
: mcut, were entirely forgotten by me, and were
indeed, neither seen or thought of till the ad
vertsement appeared in the Tfmes-a weel
afterwards; and, until which time, Mr.. Hubbard
was under the impression that they were re
| turned as desired. -, ....4 ~.
n The whole case was then fully explained TO tn
e Agent Mr.. T. L. Sdtton, and he, seeming wei
: satisfied of no wrongful intention upon my part
d or that of Mr.. H., remarked " send them 9th
= bankets) back in the morning and ALL WILL B
= RIGHT" Here thought the matter would en-
e relying upon his integrity as gentleman
% and my own character as a shield against a
n criminal suspicion in the premises. But it h;
,r been far otherwise quite the reverse. The affa
= of " taking and returning" the blankets, hi
'r been told and talked about freely CAREFUL

tacitly conveying the idea that they were stole
et by me-one rhO had not euen been at ii
