For the Catoctin Clarion.
A Reply to SancllO.
NEAR EMM1TsBuRG, July IL

MR.. ED1TOR:-1n regard 10 the ar
ticle, "A Correction" which appeared
in the columns Of the CLARION, BY
"Sancho," we think that it was I'M
wise and equally uncallcd for, ane
that he has ovcrstepped the bounds O
propriety and common politeness.-
Perhaps your correspondent, wishing
to lionize himself and set the world OF
fire by giving vent to his literary abil
tiles, or rathor not recognizing the
rule laid down by Modern Physiolo
gists, that one hemisphere of the
brain can receive impressions and tho
other remain inactive and at rest
His imaginative powers being so great
as to receive them on both sides, anc
he finds that the only way to get re-
lieved of the oppression pressing or
all sides Of his crainial box (the outer
side being covered with brass), is te
let flow the contents contained there.
in by squirming over the History o.
a Cake He sympathizes and his
feelings are deeply wounded by an
injustice done to some Of the ladies by
your correspondent Of the history Of
the cake, SO much so that his mind and
heart is oppressed and overwhelmed
with sorrow large dew drops flow
down on his cheeks from his far Sc eine
eyes, and his enthusiasm carried him
so far that he cries out, Shame on
you! We members Of the Band Why
have you not rushed boldly to the
rescue, as the valiant knight and
champion of those whose names might
have been buried in oblivion and never
been handed down TO the posterity Of
the Band, but for "Ssncho.' As for
injustice We cannot see that any was
done by your correspondent of the
history Of the cake; he did not enter
into the details of the festival, but
confined himself to what related to
the cake, and netting more. We
have never heard or read of any one
in relating history Mat ever mentioned
anything but what was connected with
~. lo't SofreSl'oli,f''t I'3a".i'o
Of the cake. Now We know some-
thing about it, and we know that
part of it was distributed az your cor.
