DoLLIE DUTToN.-By referring to adj
vertisement in this paper it will be seen
that this Little Lady gives Levees here
next Monday afternoon and evening at 81
and Z o'clock. The Albany papers state
that twenty thousand persons attended her
two weeks lcvces in that city, and the Bos-
ton papers state that forty thousand persons
attended her six weeks lcvees in that city.
The Albany Morning Express says -
THE LITTLE FAIRY.-This diminutive
specimen of Gods handiwork, still attracts
immense crowds at Association Hall. As

who desire to behold her, should avail them.

the Hall, she looks as she really 18th,

the facts, from personal examination,) It rs
plain that either the writer himself made
such examination, OF il was made by some
faithful informant. So on the other hand
it is no less plain that the matter in contro-
versy was inserted in the article which con-
tains it, knowing or not knowing it to be true.
If he knew it to be true the precision was all
well enough, but if he did not, statement
a little more guarded might be expected.
The public have right to know the facts
in the case. No member Of Mr. Atkinsons
family has any knowledge of such gift.
One member OF the building committee of
Emmanuel church, who knew the said At
kinson, being at one time his agent, knows
nothing OF such gift. And no living per-
son knows anything about such gift, nor
is there the least record evidence of the
fact. Besides, the mans own acts per-
formed during his life time, show that he
never made such gifi.
About 1910, Mr.. Atkinson issued mort
gage 10 his brother then living in London,
as security for certain monies of him bor-
rowed, which mortgage covered the land
referred to, but it excepted such lands as
had been taken for highways, and such as
had been decided. About 1920, some four
years after the reputed gift, Mr.. Atkinson
renewed this mortgage, making the same
exceptions, which did not include any lands
as referred to. 1t is true that land was Civ
en- for church site and burying ground,
and the extent of it can be easily deter
mined. 1t is laid down on the old village
map, and can be seen, | presume, on APP
/ plication to the agent Of the Canal Co., by
any one desiring information. But ii nei-
Their extends TO Pine woods nor to School
street, neither to the square nor any where
in the region of the Catholic church. 1t
did not extend so far north rs the present
northern limit of the cemetery, as a strip
has since been added thereto. 1t did not
extend so fan south as to include all the
land on which the parsonage now stands, a
part of it having been obtained since. |
have heard individuals say that they had
heard such gift was made. On this point
l make no issue. Such persons have an
unquestioned rightto their own opinions Of
the matter. But, / too have heard per-
sons speak of an agricultural society in the
moon. l hardly think an issue on this point
worth while. And while | would institute
no invdious comparisons, neither does it
seem to me desirable to incorporate such
matters into the history of the town Of
Rockingham. 1t might do for a writer Of
mythology. SIGMA.
