To the Editors Of the Sentinel:
GENTLEMEN II am gratified to know
that my brief communication, published
in the Journal Of the 9th inst, has had
the effect of bringing you to a realizing
sense Of the ill-t med, ill.iu 'ged and un-
manly course you have been pursueing
f)r some weeks past through the columns
of your "Cfficial organ" In your last
issu, you express hope "to keep at least
within the bounds of propriety." | am
satisfied tlat this will prove source of
qualification to your friends, and will
be matter of DO little rejoicing among
those who have been inflicted With the
weekly visits of your "offi cial county
plper.' would not interpose straw
to prevent your carrying out your good
resolution, both in letter and in spirit and
to that end will effrr you such sugges-
tions and impart to you such encourage.

that direction, shall consider amply re-

Gained from the sink into which IL has
fallen, and cease to be by-word asd a
rauroach upon the goo sense and intel
ligence of the inhabitants of Wood
County.
assure you it will be matter of GER
eral rejoicing when it is known that
you have repented of your meanness,

be out of placa. Do not ag'in give vent
