Correspondence Of the Times.

FONT JERICHO, Dec. 70, 1901.
Mr.. Editor In your issue of Decem-
Der l4th, there is communication signed
"B. F." relative to Thanksgiving, Dorches-
ter and its ungrateful inhabitants. This
seems to have originated from the pen of an
ambitious youth, who has spent wears at
College," and is now enjoying the fruits
thereof, in village school-house. Now,
Mr.. Editor, as said pedagogue has made
many errors in regard to Dorchester; we, a
casual observer, beg leave to offer a few cor
rections through the columns of the Times !;
being well aware you do not wish to preju-
dice the public mind against any portion of
your sister county.
Why has this "bombastic Scph" thus
rushed down tornado like, upon his bene-
factors, apparently endeavoring to sweep
them into oblivion by that powerful weapon,
the pens MRS. Gossip" says, that during
last winters clustering months, this town
| lined his pocket, fed him from her sump-
tuous table, and furnished his weary limbs
with couch of down-his present action
brings to mind Ksop's Fable, Of "Thc man
and frozen Serpent" 20 gratitude where
art thou!"
We have occasionally visited this village,
spending several pleasant summer days, and
have never seen u drunken man in the
blaze. Col. you know College Sophomores,
as a class, are prone ito take a little" Are
we to suppose this son of Bacchus, with a
great big beam in his eye, is attempting to
pluck an imaginary mole from his brothers?
The facts justify such conclusion-his
pocket is minus the dimes-he knows where
all the taverns, groceries and liquor stores
are, and by the way, it does really seem as
though grocery came to town with him,
and rumor says, it has not yet become pub
lic-it is not probable its location is in his
own private chamber? Who would not be
strapped under such circumstances
There was time when we, after having
had q convivial feast, felt just as though the
earth was either inclining or declining, and
we think Mr.. Sophomore is labouring un-
der the same erroneous supposition, for the
village does not lay either on the North or
South side Of 1.-TWO great big bluffs" bat is
pleasantly situated on level table or low
land site, having ample room fur growth
without infringing upon the bluffy domains.
Your worthy correspondent seems to in
sinuate that oil the redeeming qualities this
village has are simply local habitation and
a name. Let us view the premises: The
Dorchester House is fine frame structure,

More Exchanges.

More 1Xcno0goe.
We are in receipt of dozen new papers
requesting an exchange. Among these are
the Buchanan Tindicator, by j. NJ PArrEN,
Buchanan, Michigan; american Banner, by
j. FIsKE, Philadelphia; Boscobel Democrat,
Walworth Sovereign, Beloit Democrat, Mil
waukee Wholesale Reporter, Lacrosse Daily
Republican, and several others, whose names
have escaped us. With those that are of
any use to us, or if the Times is locally val
liable to them, We will exchange; but 1t is
all folly to load the mails down with papers
that are never read. We won't receive an
exchange that VIC do not read. Eastern
journals, like the Banner, need not ask the
publication Of long prospectus in our COL
umns. We will 'notice," occasionally, a
paper that Is better than ours, but to insert
a five dollar advertisement, and then ex-
change also, is putting too many feathers on
the camers spine.

to connect because, as he writes us, "of too
much pressure in the regular line Of his
duties. We will probably get it in time for
next week. II
Worn out as we have been in writing, du-
ring the past week, it has been impossible
for us to visit NORTH lNcGREGoR, so rs to
give report Of her business houses, but
this duty will be faithfully attended to in a
short time. McGregor, McCraney's Add
ton, West AcGregor and North McGregor,
make up what We call the city. 1t has
now a population Of nearly 5000; in Nay,
1856, it was about 500. 1t is not cxtravs-

Frozen TO Death.

Frozen TO Death. ....s... r....r ..
man by the name of MIouAEL SuLL1-
VAN was yesterday morning found dead
An inquest was held upon the body, which
resulted in verdict "That Michael Sulli-
van came to his death by freezing, while in
state of intoxication, as the jurors verify
believe"
He was a man Of about IS years old, had
no family, lived alone in a shanty cast of
Spcrry's new building, and was of intem-
peratc habits. The weather being very cold
early on Monday morning, H. b. George
thought he would call at Mikes shanty,
where he found him frozen and dead. He
was cautioned by Mr.. George on Saturday
last against drinking, telling him his danger
of being frozen, to which he remarked that
he would drink just when, and as much as
he pleased, at all events. Fearing the re.
suit of his drinking, Mr.. George requested
several dealers to not let him have whisky.
