Mr.. Editor As the public mind has been
somewhat excited in the neghborhood of Henry
Holland, at the sad catastrophe which has be-
fallen his son. and also at some statements which
have found their way into portion of the public
journals, the writer, in justice to the parents and
boy, wishes to correct some of those statements.
The parents are among our best and worthiest
citizens; they are faithful to their children,
training them up in all moral duties, and it is be-
lieved that the boys character for fla affection
and obedience has always been above reproach,
and whoever has made his acquaintance will
testify to his goodness of heart The story of
his being stubborn, and that he would not re-
veal his name when hurt, Is not correct, he
having freely given all information as soon as
reason was restored sufficient to enable him to
do so.
Could all the facts be made known, however, in
regard to this sad affair." it is believed that very
little blame would attach to this unfortunate
youth.
We have an afflicted family with us, and be-.
leve they are entitled to justice and the most
hearty sympathy of the public. NEIqHBoR.
