REPLY TO "TWEEZERS -

EDITOR TRIBUNE In your last paper
you see fit to publish a communication
from that irresponsible scribbler "Tweez-
ers," which, had it referred to me alone,
and had it not received your editorial
sanction, would be unnoticcd, for have.
too long been in the ring Of personal
and political controversy to pay attention
now to anonymous scalawags and back
biters. But as the article referred to re-
fleets upon the conduct of one Of your
own neighbors, Mr.. Editor, and upon his
integrity, | deem it a duty to him to ex-
onerate him completely from any wrong
(if any has been done) that may have
been transacted in the issuing of Certifi-
Gates to Teachers the present fall. re-
fer to Henry Sibree, Esq, who is neither
| my Deputy nor Assistant Superintendent,
as ''Tweezers' and yourself would make
people believe, for no such Office or title
existed. Mr.. Sibree, during my illness
| the present season, without fee or reward,
| has been ofgreat assistance to me in exa M
lining candidates for Certificates, and is
suing them to Teachers who were already
known to be qualified, and this he has
done in every case through his own kind
ness and at my request. Every Certi6-
cate issued has been made out by my Or
der, so that any intimation that Mr.. 81
bree has been guilty of unworthy motives
in doing that business for me is ridiculous
! ly false, and unworthy place in re-
spectacle newspaper, and it is very
strange that yourself and 'sTweezers
are the only persons who have ''smelt
tar" in the Superintendent ofice-for
any transaction in which for the last
six years | only am responsible.
In conclusion, | take this opportunity
to return my heartfelt thanks to Mr.. 81
bree for the kindness he has manifested
and the labor he has performed for my
benefit at time when "a friend in need
was friend indeed and l sincerely re-
greet that he should be the subject o.
scurrilous abuse for performing acts Of
kindness to friend, and that your paper
should be the medium of circulating tie

The Hestc,u Homie comes to US this
month ia it's new dress. It is now, we
think, really the most elegant magazine
in America fact of which the Vest may
well be proud. Its new frontispiece is
work of great artistic merit, worthy of
study and admiration. Its contents are
rich and varied; its list of contributors
embracing many of the ablest writer's in
America. 1t is large puarto size, having
seyenty-six long columns of printed mat
ter, and all for CaA One Dollar a Year.
Of course its popularityis wide spread,
and as the publishers are paying large
premiums for clubs, it offers rare oppor-
tunities for profits. 1t is purely literary
work, devoted exclusively to home inter-
ests, and deserves the highest success.
We still furnish it FREE to subscribers of
the TRIBUNE.
