An Apology.
Hiram Atkins who heroically bore fog
ging from A. n. Swain, Esq, is editor of the
Bellows Falls Argus. The Argus did some
every naughty" printing and he being the
editor it could not have appeared without
his knowledge, hence he was charged with
publishing an obscene article. He now has
suit in court; lawyers have suits, hence he
is also a lawyer. But for once he has done
the fair thing; he has apologised to US for
accusing US of " knocking people down for
the sake of notoriety." From his long arti-
Gle we extract the following:
"You must certainly pardon me for l am
sorely tried and must sometimes have my
little ebulitions of passion. | have hardly
been able to open my eyes TO the light of the
sun since Swain gave me that blow. Brother
Drew, we meant no disrespec:, but We is
green hand at the bellows, Notwithstanding
we have been long time on the editorial
STOOL We used to think we were smart but
when Swain made our back smart we gave
up that idea. But if my editorial life is as
long as the list of lies registered against me
you shall never have occasion to hear words
unseemly from Hiram Atkins"
All right neighbor as far as we arr con-
cerned now just renounce your sympathy for
treason and you will be as good member
Of society IS " any other man" Of your ability
character and disposition.
