FROM KINSaIAE.

KISsMAN, May ID, 1867.
EDITOR CHRoNIcLE:-We notice in
your paper of this week, an article, con-
corning an unfortunate lttle, occurrence
that happened here last week, that does
much injustice to a well known citizen of
this place, and which, unexplained, would
leave an impression upon the public mind
as false as the motives which could have
induced the writer of that article to resort
to the columns of a newspaper FOR the pur-
pose of a wanto attack upon the reputa-
ton of his neighbor. We refer TO the So
called item of news in yesterdays sCHRoN-
ICLE,' published over the signature of
Citizen, " and need only state the facts as
they are, In order for your readers to Judge
impartially for themselves concerning the
affair.
The circumstances are these: On Mon
day of last week, a certain watch dog be
longing to Mr.. E. P. Beckwith, of this
place, did bite a little girl at the steps of
the store of E. P. Beckwith & BIO, 1t
being the first time that the animal had
ever been known to injure any one here
when out of its line of duty, though it has
been habitually faithful as q watch dog in
guarding against strangers who might
have the appearance of meddling. Its not
known that there was or was not any
-provocalion in the case of the little girl, as
she was alone at the time, and is too Young
to remember and tell the circumstances.
The bite, though somewhat severe, was
nothing like as serious as represented. 1t
soon healed, and the child was about town
at play with other children, in a few days
afterwards. No n seemed to feel more
grieved about the occurrence than Mr..
Beckwith. And so far from allowing the
dog to continue at large, or refusing to
dispose of it las stated by sensationally
disposed Citizen" - he Immediately, upon
hearing of the accident, being absent at
the time, went to see about the matter, and
offered to make any amends within his
power. Upon the request being made that
the dog should be killed, Mr.. B. promised
that 1t should be done. He locked up the
animal in a safe place, keeping it there
until the first convenient opportunity, and
then had it killed, according to agreement
The dog was dead, and the matter suppos-
ed to be satisfactorily settled with all par
ties, days before the slanderous article in
question was put IN type. So far as the
item Of news was concerned, the occasion
of the article in question was an unfort9-
nate, but not serious matter but with re-
gard to the spirit IN which it seems to
have been written, who ever may be the
it has the appearance of being will
full, and it is certainly false and SANDER

and nineteen cents. Since that I have got
a warrant for l60 acres of land. We had
some hard times here in the woods, making
roads. killing snakes, watching the Indi-
ans and bears. l must tell YOU a bear
story L heard ESQ. Flower tell when we
were raising the first Town Hall in Wen
ma. He SAID that Horace Flower, Levi
Foot, Joseph Foot, Samuel Hutchins,
Epenetus Rogers and himself were build
ing q heWed log house for Esq. Holmes THE
first hewed log house in town.. On Sun
day they were sitting around on the logs,
summing themselves, when they heard the
dogs barking down in the hollow. they all
went after them, one taking an axe. The
dogs were in 4 fight with a yearling bear.
As the men came near, the dogs slackened
their hold, and the bear made at them -
Mr.. Rogers run, and the bear after him.
and came nearly up to him, when the dogs
caught the bear again, and Rogers turning
around shook his fist in a threatening
manner, and cried ont ut the top of his
voIce-"Take care, young man you must
remember l came from Long Island! %
Then the party thought they would have
some sport with the bear; they cut a long
pole, and when the dogs got the bear down
they got the pole across him and held him
down while they peeled some bark and
tied his feet together, then they run a pole
through between his legs, and ~shouldering
the pole carried the bear home alive, and
presented him 10 Esq. Holmes, as a present
from his employees.
Mr.. Editor, before closing, 1 wish to
remark that the narrator of the above in
cidents, though not what some would call
a brilliant man, is, nevertheless, an exam
pie worthy of commentator, Being now
within a few months of 7G years old, and
never having been a party to q fight at ifs
ticutf, or a lawsuit. He may well be said
to have lived a life of peace with all man
kind, excepting only the opposers of the
Federal Republican Government, under
which he has lived, and been ready at all
to give assistance. Only five years
ago, when the drum sounded the country's
call for volunteers his footsteps seemed to
up to the nimbleness of a youth of
thirty five. He appears healthy, and seems
10 enjoy himself, though be evinces much
for his beloved wife, who is sorely
with a painful cancer on her head
ust above the left eye. This aged couple
lived an honest, moral, peaceable
ife, have gained a goodwill that will
.ong be remembered, and set an example
of imitation. Yours truly,
