Mt. BLANCHARD, o. July q, 1875.
EDS. JEFF: The wet weather has de-
| layed our harvesting considerable, but
still most of our farmers are done cutting
wheat and have some hay made. Oats
and flax are down very badly, which will
make them hard TO cut. Our corr crop
is looking magnificent Some fields will
| produce roasting ears in three weeks.
Our new slw-mill is now ready for OPP
Grafton. 1t will be quite an improve
ment to our village. Mr. NJ. ]. George
had very fine horse badly hurt one day
last week. The Sabbath School Con
vention OF this township will meet TO
organize next Sunday at 3 p NJ. Rev
Jones, and others from Findlay are to
be present and make short addresses.
The last quarterly meeting of the
Methodist Church for this year, will be
held here August II and Is.
We've no marriages to record this
week, but Judging from present appear
| stliCtsS liltIt II Dt' libil IL uOLtll Dt-
tween this and Christmas. Should not
be surprised if there was one before Con
| ference.
Wen devote the rest of our letter to
Mr.. Dozen Couple" We do not mean
| now TO all who visited our village from
| F. on the evening of the ID, but
to the gentleman who wishes to assume
himself dozen persons at once. We
| notice that you are considerably riled
because we did not sign our name Just to
suit yOH. We generally sign our name
as We please, and as long as we do not
! presume to represent more than one, we
| consider it no business of yours how we
sign our name. Iou say We made n
| slanderOus and malignant attack upon
your party. We say that you equivo-
cate q or else you don't know the mean
ing Oh the English language. You can
not find II aCord or SyilaJle III our form
er article which is i'll the least degree
slanderous or abusive. The very fact
that ypu did not point ont anything of
the kind proves Opr assertion. We be-
lievc the ladies and gentlemen from your
city We're as respectable as can be found
anywhere and said nothing to the con
trary We We're glad TO see them pres
ent ut our entertainment, bit when n
maj0rity (not alb Of them snt in their
seats making remarks and all the fun
they could of our entertainment, we
thought it very small work, and were
very glad when you left. We were not
in the least degree troubled when you
took your leave LITTLE past 10 o'clock
mot II rs you state) but felt like rejoie-
ing that yoq had gone. You say we did
not adjourn until midnight and that you
left at II p. NJ. We say you wer
wrongly informed, or told one of your
lDdym elUicOcatiOnS again. It was
but few minutes past II o'clock, when
we adjourned, and as for your leaving,
we are aware that you did not leave
town Entii ate. u p. NJ, but you left
the school house some time before II |
p N. When you left the latter place, |
you paFaled the streets and visited our
ice cream saloon .iId there made night |
hideOus by yelling down stairs ana ont |
of the windows TO those of yonr party |
who were outside riding up and down |
street. You visited our hotels and made |
all sorts of remarks about them, because |
they did not happen to be as fine as
those in EindiGy, also busted yourselves
while there by peeping into the closets
and cupboards, opening all the doors
you could find, etc. We have stated
facts which We can sitjstGntiGte, none of
which would have been mentioned had
you kept your bugle closed. we have
not said now that GH your party were
thus engaged, but some Of them. Whom
the shoe fitteth Jet him put it on. You
We're still on our streets when our enter
tainment closed. We are very sorry, in
deed, LlJ Dozcn Couple 1--WE mean you
individually that we c4nnot accord to
you the same degree of moderate seas
that you are willing to allow us, but
from the tenor of your article. and the
quotations which you make, you have
shown yourself so eIgrsHislsj veal, that
it would be well for you 10 get little
medicine which physicians use to
strengthen the brain. Now my little
popinjay, yon haye al idaa that broad
cloth coat, plug hat and Il par of Eid
gloves make the man, don't youl Al
though goRr soul might dance a horn
pipe on the point OF 4 caInbric needle,
and Il whole regiment of such march
through the eye thereof, do you think
we care foryOu? Our citizens invariably
endorse our first article from beginning
to END, and all agree that yours contained
mostly untruths, but since you've agreed
not 10 visit our village again, they feeI
like fOrgiving you this time, as you are
but child and have not had that moth
erly care which boys need. We notice
that you take undue exceptions to our
drama entitled ''The Artist We are
sorry that you could not appreciate it,
but when We remember that it is on ac-
count of your cery weak inteilect we are
not surprised that your judgment is 20
poor. HOu are not aware that the piece
TO which you refer was played in your
city in Wheelers Hall two nights in
succession to crowded houses. 1t was;
and il was also called for every night at
our exhibition. We are proud of it and
consider it one Of the very best plays we
had. Now sir, We advise you the next I
time you attempt to reply TO an article
that you coniine yourself to the truth,
and before you commence TO write just
repeat to yourself that line of the poet {
- wad some power the giftie gle US,
To see Oursels as ithers see us.
