mon, who was drowned en- Sunday last, writes to
correct the impression conveyed by the statement
in THE REPUBLICAN that the boy had been play
ing truant from Sunday school. He says:
81 can say that this is entirely false for he had
attended to his church duties faithfully in the
morning, and did not leave his home until Sunday
afternoon, between and o'clock, at which time
he received permission; but OF course his parents
n'ver thought for q moment that he was going
a-bOating, but l am sorry to say he did, and met
his sad and unloOked-ior death. Just make this

The following card and afidavit from Mrs. TIL
ton, containing an absolute denial Of the uphoI-
sterer's story, will be published in to-morrOW's
papers: The following sffidavit was prepared by
me and placed in the hands Of counsel In expec-
tation Of an opportunity to present 1t In court,
but no such opportunity having been given, and

own vindication.
ELIZABETH z. TnToN,
The affidavit is g full and complete denial IN
detail upon each point OF the statements of Loader
and Price. She says no su Jh men or any other
were engaged in putting down carpets in her
mouse at that or any other date. and that Mrs.
Dennis did not live with her at that time nor any
other elderly lady who could answer their de-
scrtption. She also denies that she ever had any
such interview with Beecher as described by
them, and gives minute description Of the rooms
have been impossible. She adds:
In conclusion, declare In the presence Of Al
mighty God that am absolutely innocent of all
the OheLses charged against me with relation TO
Henry Ward Beeeher, except only tn 1T under the
influence Of my husband which found tt impOg-
sible to resist 50 long as persisted 10 living with

which were false and entirely unfounded, and
which my husband knew to be false.
declare that left my husband voluntarily,
and without any solicitation or inducement from
any person, and especially without any solicita-
tion or suggestion on the part Of Mr.. Beeeher,
but so far as have any knowledge or informa-
tion OF his views, contrary to the desire Of Mr..
Beecher; and did 50 because 1 had found by
sad experience, that the only result Of my long
endeavor to serve my husband was that I keDf
myself In his power, and that IL was impossible
for ne, SO long as lived with him, to resist his
demands, or 10 speak the truth when he required

power Of VEGETIRE:
NATIcK, MASS, January /, 1873.
Mr.. Il, r. STEVENS:
DEAR SIR: We have good reason for regarding
your VEGETIHE medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that It has been the means of saw
ing our sons life. He is now seventeen years of
age; for the last two years he has suffered from
necrosis of his leg caused by scrOfulous affection,
and was so far reduced that nearly all who saw him
thought his recovery impossible, A council Of
able physicians could give us but the faintest hope
Of his ever ralying, two Of the number declaring
that he was beyond the reach Of human remedies,
that even amputatiOn could not save him, as he
had not vigor enough to endure the operation.
just then We commenced giving him VEGETIEE,
and from that time TO the present he has been con-
tinuOuSy improving He has lately resumed
studies, thrown away his crutches and cane, and
walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there Is still some discharge from the
opea aing where the limb was lAnced, we have the
fullest Confidence that In . little time he will be
perfectly cured.
ETINE, but lately uses but little, as he declares
he Is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours, z. Z. BEST.

The announcement that race would take place
At BrightwoOd yesterday afternoon between the
well known horse Honest John and q horse known
as Baby Boy, and sad to be eWned'by one Of the
gyPseys, attracted quite large attendance at
the park, but not near ss large as would have
been present had the weather been a little more
moderate. The betting was for q while even, but
just before the first heat was started John was
made favorite at big odds, with but few takers.
He won the race in three straight heats; time
z:47lz 2:I7, 247. The judges were Messrs. A T.
Whiting, Geo. o. Miller and Jas. Hahn.
After the race had been settled IL was an
nouneed that ten-mile race would be driven be-
tween two horses owned respectively by Mr..
Chris. Harper and Mr.. VIM. Yates. Neither of
the animals were racers, but themstch was made
10 settle dispute as TO their relative abilities
and TO make it interesting fifty dollars q side
were put up.
There was little or no betting on the result,
Mr.. Harper drove his own animal and Mr.. Hop-
EtnI that Of Mr.. Yates, each being driven to road
wagons and carrying another passenger. The
race was not very exciting one, aud when the
eighth mile had been run Mr.. Harper withdrew
his stSed and the purse was awarded to Mr..
Yates, who did trot one mile more and offered to
20 the whole ten. The Judge did not keep the
time, but about forty minutes was occupied in 60
