EDITOR CHRONICLE In your paper of
June oath. 1865. an article appeared, giving
statement of a difficulty which occurred
near this place some four weeks previously.
between Paddy Clark and jeremiah Lanna-
han. Being the author of the article in
question, and not personally cognizant of
the affair, penned the circumstances from
parties whom supposed reliable at the time,
but in justice to those who were charged as
having taken an interest in the escape of
Clark from the custody of the officer, I es-
TEEN it duty incumbent upon me to remove
all blame and reflections cast upon those
who are entirely Dlameless in the matter
Having recently returned to the county, and
learning the particulars in the premises, from
a source altogether beyond question, that I
was in error and misrepresented the difficulty
in part. understand Paddy Clark escaped
from the custody of the officer without the
assistance of any one, but was, on the con-
trary strongly urged by his friends to quiet
ly submit to the laws of the State and abide
the decision of legal investigation. Those
who furnished me the Information as given
in your paper of the date referred to, SEEM
ingly had pecuniary object in view as wei
as ridiculous desire to injure many good
and valuable citizens. now am pleased to
remove all blame attached to officers and 9TH
ers who were then censured in acting inju-
diciously and improperly in the escape of
Clark. had no desire whatever to injure
or cast reflections upon any one, but simply
gave statement of the occurrence, and an
expression of what seemed to exist among
the people, as received it. Being so long
identified with the inhabitants of this portion
of the county, it is with much pleasure that
I am enabled to correct the statement, and
thereby reach truth and justice instead, and
do "honor to whom honor is DUE"

Communicated.
Whom the Gods love, die young" is an
ancient saying, and never was its truth bet
ter illustrated than in the present instance
for who that knew little Lottie but knew
and admired those traits of character in her
which endeared her to all with whom she
came in contact. Possessing amiability and
engaging manners, with intelligence far be-
yond her years, she was not only beloved by
her teacher and school-mates, but by all who
enjoyed her acquaintance. Well may We
say with the poet:
"None knew Ter bit to love her,
None named her but to praise
Her wonderful energy and perseverance in
mastering her lessons, together with quick
ness of apprehension astonishing in one SO
young, combined to make her peculiar ia
vorite with her teacher and w-pupils.
And now she is gone from US to her home
beyond the skies, and every one mourns her
as something which threw a CLEAN of sun
shine across Life's path, which, Alas! was
only too feeting and evanescent, as all bright
things are. We must, however, console our
selves for our loss as being her eternal gain.
and in knowing that she is now enjoying the
full fruition of her blameless life in the arms
of loving Saviour, who has said: "Suffer
little children to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for of such is the Kingdom of
Heaven" We sincerely sympathise with
her afflicted parents in their sad bereavement,
but we hope that their religion will afford
them its consultations until they can meet
their loved and lost one in that land where
the voice of lamentation shall no more be
heard, for God shall wipe the tears from every
eve. Farewell, darling Lottie:
bright be the place of thy soul
No lovelier spirit than thine
Fer burst from Its mortal control,
In the oybs of the blessed to shine.
On earth thou vert all but divine,
As thy soul shall Immortality be;
And our sarrow may cease to repine
When we know that thy God is with thee.
Lish. be the turf of thy tomb:
May its verdure like emerald be-;
There should not be the shadow of gloom
In aught that reminds US of thee.
Young flowers and IN evergreen tree
May spring from the place of thy rest.
But nor cypress nor yew let us see;
For why should we mourn for the blests'
