BRoKvlLLE, July 18Th, 1857.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Your paper had in
No., 80 of July 10th, an article man.
ufactured by Francis Bartels in this
place. l do not want 70 reply to all
his sour-crout, but i simply win tell
you in as good dutch Is ] can, how
the whole Of it was.
1t was not on Sunday, but on Tues
day the 21st Of June, when, before our
Priest commenced reading mass,
Mrs. Miller, Bartels's mothor-in.lsw
came to the Church with that child of
Bartels', and wanted it to be baptized
and called. As it is customary in
our Church to have q God father, Mr..
A. Smith was asked to hold the child,
which Mr.. Smith did. After the child
had been baptized, our Priest did, as
usual, write the name of the child,
and parents into q book, and nothing
else was asked, or said, after or be-
fore. Mr.. Bartels says in his long
and broad article, that the child was
stolen from him, and as there was
nobody present but Mr.. Smith and
me, you know Mr.. Editor that it was
not me who stole your Brhama chick
ems, because / rather raise them a.
many as / want myself, than to steal
them, and am most assured Mr.. Smith
will not steal children neither. Mr..
Bartels would not say that bis moth
er-in-law took the child to the Church.
He brought it up in such style as if
the Trustees which had been either
Smith or me, stole his child, his whole
tale is worse than a bare-faced lie;
because our Church, nor any one Of
the members, had any thing to do
with that matter. 1t was between
him and his mother-in-law. Isuppose
she intended to fulfill a duty. Sup
posing Bartels had sent his child by
his mother-in-law, and the Priesthad
refused to baptize it, because we did
not know if Bartels has been willing
or not (and it was not our duty TO
ask her about that would he not, "A
he is high officer, understand he
was deputy constable, Of the Demo
cratic party, have rung the Demo
cratic Courthouse bell, and made il
known to everybody?

BRooKv1LLE COLLEGE.

is unbounded, and many of his former
patrons in Rush and Franklin coun-

cordial greeting on.his return to eastern In

reputation, are Intending 10 try him as q
teacher He !. securing an efficient corps
Of assistants, and will give general satisfac-
ton. We learn that provisions are being
made for boarding quite a numbered young
ladies and gentlemen in private families, at
as low rates as the prices Of provisions will
admit, while there are numerous rooms in
which young gentlemen can board them
selves at greatly reduced prices. The une.

place make II one Of the best localities in

Rents are cheap, and property is cheap,

Of means to either rent or purchase, for a
temporary residence during the period Of
educating their families. Where a man Of
large family can possibly rent his farm for
a term Of years and move to seatof learn
ing, and board his own children, il is much
cheaper, and If not cheaper, il is much bet
ter than to send them away to board We
commend this system to those who have fam

vile or any other College Here both sons
and daughters can receive instruction, in

While upon this subject, we will repeat
what we have often said before, and it is ap

We would prefer to educate our children
at such an institution rather than at the
mammoth colleges that number then
hundreds. We would not advise tina
those who are juniors and seniors a
other colleges should leave them for youngel

JUSTICE TO JUDGE PERKINS.

We are pleased TO learn that Judge Per-
kins was not personally present at the riot
which destroyed the bawdy house. and that
the testimony ofone Of the witnesses which
implicated him, as an accessory before the
fact when explained, does not so implicate
him. One testified that meeting was to be
held, or was held, at Judge Perkins, house;
this was an unfinished house belonging To
the Judge, and not his residence as many
supposed from reading the testimony We
do not wish however, to be understood as
qualifing the testimony of the Judge as re-
ported in the Sentinel The evident intsn-
ton Of that testimony-the design in sub
penang the Judge-ths questions asked
him, and-Ais answers, are all to prove that
the house was a very bad institution, and
the removal Of il by violence was deserving
of bat nominal fine; in other words, that
personal and private rights may he ~ ont

1t is possible that the fact of her being country

When the debutante first appeared she was slightly
abashed by the novelty of her situation and her first few
