This over, Misses Focht aud Frink
were presented with handsome testi-
monials Of the esteem Of their respec-
tive pupils. Little speeches were
made In giving and receiving which
were no doubt nice, but could not be
heard.
Various gentlemen present were
then called upon for remarks, among
them who. responded appropriately
were Messrs. II. w. Macomber. of
Clarence, H. q Piatt, 8. ". Landt,
r. Sweariugen and VIM. Lee. With
timely and feeling words of parting.
Mr.. Wilcox, the Principal, then de-
clared the years session at an end.
DoEsN'T "Anti-Dictator," who
writes to the Post from Rochester
township know that nothing which
was done ct the Narrow Gauge rail-
way meeting in this place would pre-.
vent his locality from sending just IS
many delegates as they pleased to the
meeting of the Company-eyery one
Of whom would have just as good
credentials there as though they had
been named at Upton meeting. 1t
is, we think, very plain that slight
upon any other locality was NOT the
intention of any participant in the
Upton meeting, which was, very
naturally, called especially in
the interests of its owng vicinity.
Mr.. Landt did, we bclieve, make
the motion to select delegates;
but unless we greatly err IN inemsvy:
he himself did not sszsse a singt oee'
of them. They were named by Pntt,s
Vest, Knott and others present, ald
such nominations were sepasnt6lys
voted upon. The dirt thrown BY tie
Post in its comments On this matter
is in pursuance of its usual policy to
try to stir up sectional prejudices;
and is an as uncalled for and wsnton
piece of sneaking insinuation and
petty malice as ever disgraced even
its malicious and untruthful columns.
And what makes it more inexcusable,
the Post editor was himself present
at the meeting and knows as well as
he knows anything that his insinua-
tions are without foundation in fact.
Instead Of ever thus trying to make
the most of mistakes and misunder-
standings, and thereby foster pique
and prejudice, the Post had better
look over its own columns, where it
will find the following excellent quo
tation-the fact that the Post man
feloniously appropriates it as ''origi-
nal matter" not weakening its plain
force: T.
"Be charitable; you cannot afford
to be otherwise. II the best mans
faults were written on his forehead,
he would draw his hat over his eyes."
