Now then, what might have been your
gentlemanly motive for this publication
Did you wish to caution the public
against a dishonest citizen-Geo. Peter,
by name? lftherc was anything wrong
or dishonest in above bill, why did you
not say so before paying it? To prove
said bill to be ont oforder, you will have
to prove that no sexton, no Priest, no
church, no livery DC, have q right to
their honest claimsl or that they are
not allowed to hand in their accounts to
the administrator of II poor man."
How queer this sounds: "Adminis-
traitor OF 4 poor mani"
What has "a poor man" to admins
trate?
Well, was Mr.. Thos. Kane "a poor
man ?" Then you have either paid
above bill from your own charitable e.
purse. or out of the treasury of your
township? Please let the public know.
Again. are you, perhaps by law, ad 4.
ministrator of all the poor deceased in
Mitllin township? If so, then accuse
YOU of neglect Of duty, in the case of
Mr.. +. Sullivan, deceased. who was bu-
ried in the Catholic Cemetery, of Kirby.

Let me inform you that you are Alto

of our merchants in Upper Sandusky-
Moreover, our druggists in town will
not sell me load of straw for bedding
for my horse-I suppose my. horse is
dishonest also, having ran away with a
brand new buggy from the shop with
out paying one cent for it.
