EXPLANATORY.

The editor of the Fremont MeSsengey. re-
Gently attacked the editor of this paper in a
twenty line article on Protection, in which
the editor of the Journal, by name, is declared
''an ass" 'a commercial fool" and Hinferior
to a second-class idiot" besides other personal
illusions.
In order that the silence Of the Journal may
not be misunderstood the editor desires briefly
to state that he never shrinks from defending
or vindicating any of his positions when pro-
perly and courteously assailed; but the fact,
that in a controversy, the personal abuse is in
triphcate ratio to the argument offered, isand it
always will be, with him, q sufficient excuse
for declining the controversy.
If the editor of the Messenger, or any other
gentleman, desires to discuss the politi-
cal policy of Protection with the editor Of the
Journal, this paper will not shrink from such
argument; but, if instead of being assailed
with argument, personal epithets are to pre-
dominate, the editor Of the Journal will re-
treat, Just the same as the editor would retreat
from an assailant who stood hurling at him
the soft contents of an earth closet, to prevent
himself becoming as soiled as his assailant,
while if brick bats were hurled, he might has
ten to close the distance and the struggle, as a
man should.
The editor of the Journal in his intercourse
with the editor of the MESSENGER, was greatly
pleased to find him an agreeable and courteous
gentleman. 1t is greatly regretted by all who
know him, that while he is so in his personal
intercourse, in his paper he too often decends
to scurrilous abuse, which has neither truth
nor strength to support it.
1t can only be explained upon the grounds,
that he addresses his conversation to his as
sociates, and his paper to his readers, in such
case we pity the editor who is compelled 50
constantly to sin against his better self in be-
half of such readers who delight in such litera-
ry garbage.-BucBIts JotO7paL

Mr.. EDIToR.-After rather protracted ST.

In last weeks number of the journal, we
noticed a short article from Townsend, rela-
tive to a new enterprise started at that place,
in the way of a cheese factory. If Improves as
successful as is anticipated, it will be an OBJ
ject. This we can say truthfully, after seeing
the working of the factory located at this place

creasing daily. Already they make over two
hundred pounds of cheese per diem. Their
products find ready sale-can not supply the
demand, but this is not surprising since they

The house was considerably damaged, but

A Safe "Cracksd y

On Tuesday night the furniture
establishment Of b. MeiIink & Co.,
204 Summit street, was entered by
burglars, who succeeded in breaking
open the safe and robbing it Of its
contents. An entrance was effected
through basement door at the rear
of the building The safe was some
twenty-five feet from the front end
Of the building, with its back to
Summit street and large desk be-
tween it and the front door. The
burglars carefully lowered the cur
tains to the front windows and then
commenced their work. The main
tool used seems to have been a COM
mon pick, with which a panel across
the door, riveted to the door, was
pried off and a hole knocked INTO the
outer wall of the door. Into this
hole powder was placed in sufficient
quantity to make a good job, fuse
attached, and soon the door was
blown open. The burglars secured
S450.j0 in currency and q bank check
calling for $l3.84. Of coulse the
check will be Of no service to them.
The till of the desk was also opened
and robbed of about half dollar in
change, principally pennies. There
seems to have been no trace left
which will be likely to lead to the
detection of the burglars.-Toledo

"Even as a schooIboy, poultry-raising was
a study with me, and 1 may say without
egotism that as early as the age of seventeen
1 was acquainted with all the best and speedi-
est methods Of raising chickens, from raising
them off roost by burning lucifer matches
under their noses, down to lifting them off a
fence on a frosty night by insinuating the end
of warm board under their heels. By the
time was twenty years old, really suppose
had raised more poultry than any one indi-
vidual in all the section round about there.
The very chickens came to know my talent
by and by, youth of both sexes ceased to
paw the earth for worms, and old roosters
that came to crow remained to pray W hen ]

he came near lOOsing his life. The workmen
were raising some timbers by means of rope
and windlass. The rope, instead of being
fastened to the windlass was wound several
times around the roller, and Mr. Moore was at
the time Of the accident holding the end OF the
rope, when some part Of the machinery gave
way and he was thrown forward from his Do
sition, striking against some timber, and would
have fallen a distance OF nearly twenty feet,
had it not been for one of the workmen, who
caught him and saved him from serious if not
fatal injuries. Fortunately he sustained no
injuries beyond severe bruises and a flesh
wound on his hand,
