Let Erastus Stacy write all he
pleases in his organ" from his own
home on Seuenth street in Upper Sandus-
ky, and put it over his old signature
heretofore used in those obnoxious
personal, tearing down articles, and he
can have an open field, and need not
fear this pen but when "Stacy'
'chooses Little Sandusky," seven miles
off. which we may call his Fort De
ception" and expects that we will not
be able to distinguish the smoke of his
dirty gun, even over tie mark of
"Erastus Stacy" he calculates on more
s'insanity' and ''softening of the brain"
than exists in this ''locality," and he
may be thought by intelligent men to
be hardly above suspicion, in the upper
story, himself.
Shame on the man who will cast, or
seeks to cast. through or by any sub
terfuge, his own acts of very Questionable
propriety. upon the heads of the inno-
cent! Such conduct is cowardly and
almost mean. and I know not yet of
single one of Mr.. ''Stacy's" insane,
rafter-slipped. and ''maniacial" subjects
who have been compelled to resort to
such course to prevent their acts from
reactimg upon their own heads.
Yes, Doctor, write. You have sssome-
thing to say, and know how to say t!'

sanity. 1 shouldn't wonder if before the
year rolls round they would regard me
as stark mad; for if my health permit

through your columns, as my kind
friend, the Little Sandusky correspond

the Uuion of last week. and 1 shall be
tever your most obedient.
