EDITOR PREss:-In your last week s
issue, we notice the obituary notice of
the death of Mr.. Lewis Miller. The
writer of that makes a personal fling at
us, that we do not wish to let go without
comment. He says-"He did not do
well after changing physicians" We
take this liberty of correcting the above
named error in said obituary notice. He
did do better after changing physicians,
so far "a his general comfort, for which
Mr.. Miller was very thankful. His
disease in part was that terrible disease
known as Hydro Pericardium or dropsy
of the membranous sac which contains
the heart. From a conversation between
the writer of the said obituary and Mr..
Miller. am satisfied that he intended
to do me an injury. In the aforesaid
conversation he told Mr.. Miller, as I
was informed by Mr. Miller himself
wife and others, that 81 was coming
there solely to make n bill on him, and
that all my business consists in snch
| cases as could run around the country
and hunt up"

his duty to assure the public through
the columns of the Press that the re-
port, which was circulated several days
ago, to the effect that he had slaughter
ed and sold to his customers a diseased
hog, is untrue; and this he does by the
presentation Of afidavits from several
parties who were more or less advised
as to the condition of the hog in ques-
tion, shortly before it was slaughtered.
Mr. Kullman would like very much to
learn who il was that gave this story its

The soaking rain :last night and the
greater part of to-day, "did the busi-

such splendid success, that il was gen.
orally conceded that the Fair would be
the best one ever held by the Society.
An unusually large turnout was con.
fidently anticipated to-day, and no
doubt the most sanguine hopes of the
Society in this respect would have been
realized but for the heavy and continu-
GUS rain. As it is, all such calculations
have come to naught. We must seek
consolation in the reflection that we can
have no control oyer the elements; and
that the disposition of the people to con-
tribute to the success of the Fair-aF
shown at its opening-is sufficient
warranty, for continued effort in it's be.
