Some of our boys got their blood little
warmed up, on the evening of St. Patrick =
day. it was. however, settled before they
got mixed up did not learn the cause,
and cannot say whether if originated in
the discussion of inhllibility or improba-
bility.
1t has been aquestion that has long puz-
zled the world, and stands yet unsettled
what it is that produces the "trembles"
or "sick stomach" i" as some call it. Some
claim that it is a vegetable, while others
say that it is a mineral; am inclined to
believe that it is the latter, and l can't see
why it should not effect the brain as well
as the stomach and that may be the cause
of so much trouble at the Corners. Will
some of our medical men expatiate little
on this subject for the benefit of the Cor
ners!

| noticed an article in the HERALD, of
March 18th signed ga Son, which is, by
Interpretation a would. be Moses, and | i'm.
agine see would be Aaron and Josh ua
standing in tine group. This voluntary
attack upon my article, of the 2sth of Feb.
ruary, is extremely unfair. l did not use
any language in that article approaching
or disnpprabating the Temperance cause,
but he supposed was approximatng too
close to his castle for comfort, and fearing
that it might be demolished he would
raise the alarm. Considerable pains seems
to have been taken, by this group, who
are my opponents, on this occasion, to i'm
press upon the minds of the public, that .
they stand here in the attitude of defend.
ers OF Temperance and moral order. and
represents ma as its assailant, and charges !
me with conducting crusade against the
Temperance cause. He appears to have
his sympathies morbidly enlisted in the
cause He is very sympathetic, indeed, {
in behalf of the Temperance cause. Every 4
agony it feels is pang to him; for every ]
groan she heaves, be has bottle full of |
tears ready TO be poured out. I shall not .
stop to inquire whether they are temper d
'nce or political tears. He is a bold and ?
TanIon challenger. He says in his arti- h
