Friend pcuse: am certainyou will grant ! me the privilege of saying word or two in regard to my two .tr{snt]S. will try give good testimony and leave it to the many readers of your paper to decide as to the verdict. J, c. Fl could give you
 an answer to your many inquiries in very
 few words, but it is quite task as can hardly study out what you are endeavoring to get at. >Yt UT first article mentioned is in regard to the school visitors. can
 hardly conceive how a person from Luxe
 uiWe, visitor or any one, could tell the exact
 time visitor remained in the school unless
 they were ocry particular as to ts tine | You claim that said the visitors renamed
 3-4 of day. By referring to my commu-
 nication otDec. 18th, you will quickly see
 that it said the greater part of day, noth-
 ing about the fractional part 3-4 or 5'4. l
 forwarded the time as heard it from those
 that were present, as near as they coulo
 tell, q hardly think the visitor knew when
 he came or when he went awayD Thought
 it needless of enquiring into the exact time.
 You claim ought to bavc commenced my
 communication where I left off. l might
 simply ask loho did Mdt corresponding.
 It appears to me it would all come under
 the same heading, no matter how arranged,

 your own taste, but 1 think it queer one
 Mr. Peasc thinks it altogether too much,
 as well as unnecessary trouble to place
 each item under separate headings, and l
 think the poor horse as worthy oi mention,
 as visitors or parties, first, but you read
 the one you arc the most interested in,
 whether it be school visitors or the parties.
 A part of your last sounds rather DHtchy,
 in speaking of the horse to call 1t oss, II
 may be new name you use in speaking or
 the animal. One more word please, you

 Mr. Homer Gibbs has men engaged build ing q new barH. The MT. Gibbs l have
 reference to-. has his. barn completed and horse or horses in it, and if my friend thinks either of them degd, just bring on
 your good ones if you have any. and l will

He seldom stables dead ones more than one night. l would advise you to get some good specks, so you can sec all the letters as well as the words and set how they are spelled, and also advise you to go 10 school, (but pray don't go to tho ; 'Lddy" that talks so kindly to me, that ls , if she should ever be d teacher, if you wisi to leuTu Ol SI)CllilS- bV' "
