We have received from Mr.. John Man
ming a version of the affair Of which our
correspondent gave an account last week.
Such things are always so magnitied and
distorted by rumor that it is no wonder
that our correspondent got somewhat
exaggerated account of the occurrence.
Mr.. Manning says that it was his own
boy, lad about five years old. who
struck the Ober boy. They got to quar-
selling about a two-cent piece, and the
Manning boy endeavored to establish his
claim to the same with rakestail. The
ODER boy was, doubtless, some injured
but not so much so as would appear from
the account of last week, as he played
around sometime after the affair. We
have now given both versions of the af-
fair and as it is not possible for us to de-
termine which is nearest correct we leave
the matter and desire to hear no more
about it. 1t is not the duty of newspa
pers to settle such things. If there il
trouble among any parties we do not de
sire to ventilate it in our paper, as we al
ready have more than enough of our owl
work of that kind on hand. We beg
leave to say however that whatever thu
provocation, the person who cut Mr.
Ober's belt and set fire to his house is /;
miscreant and we are happy to learn tina
there are some clues which will doubtless
lead to the discovery of the wretch.

son for saying that his Plants are well

Mr.. EDITOR There will be a meeting
of the Temperance Reform Club at the
vestry of the church next Saturday even
ing. A full attendance is desired, and a
profitable time anticipated. The citizens
of Hyde Park appear rather slothful in
discussing matters that are of great i'm
pOrtance to themselves, and through
them to others with whom they assoei-
ate. If people spent more time in i'm
proving the mind and less in adjoining
the body, an Improvement in both wosld
soon be perceptible. Bread and butter
are very useful commodities, and quite
necessary in this world of ours, but we
are told that man does not live by bread
alone, but by every good word and
work, etc. We need no eloquent lecturer
to point out the evils that have been
brought upon humanity by the drinking
of fermented liquors. The picture is too
plainly printed to be easily forgotten,
and it is your duty and my duty to edu-
cate the public sentiment to that degree
that it will be an open disgrace to drink
glass of liquor as beverage.

lecturer, j. Carl Cheney, in the Town

An Omission Supplied.

The readers of the Conservative, in the
the columns of which the "Westburg Pc.
cts Decoration Day ode originally appear
ed. and from which we copied it last
week. may have noticed line of stars,
indicating that portion of it had been
suppressed 1t appears that this mutila-
ton was without the knowledge or con-
sent of the poet, and he writes us the fol.
lowing note, expressive of his feelings
with regard to the same. What was the
motive influencing our contemporary in
thus shearing the poem of its fair proper
tons it is not for us to judge. Perhaps
the reader may find it in the missing stan.

To the Editor of the BULLETIN
Will you please, sir, allow me wee
bit of space in your paper for the purpose
of satisfying the curiosity of your gener
al readers regarding that portion of my
poem in honor of Decoration Day which
did not appear in print, as published in
the Conservative and afterward copied by
you, as hear that some of them are anx
ious to know what contraband matter is
covered up by the ill-starred line, Now,
sir, SO far as the readers are concerned,
have made it my object to please, and if
have succeeded in this case it was more
through their Partially than the merit OF
my composition. But cannot see how
it was that Bro. B. found the excluded
lines so unpalatable, unless it was that
they contained more truth than poetry
But, TO use his tayorite phrase, "let him
kap COOL" and if / should survive until
another year perhaps may be able to
change my tactics, and, invoking the ma
terialized spirit of Vallandingham to in
spire the muse, may sing of the patriotic
lives and services of Lee and Stonewall
Jackson. May not hope that this will
bring out the spread eagle of the Conser
ratire in all Its glory, to head the produc
ton. But to crafty the curiosity OF
which have spoken, here append the
discarded lines which the Conservative
censor deemed not fit or appropriate to
appear with the others. They contain
just my sentiments, and doubt not nine
tenths of the readers will endorse them.
In place of the ill-starred line, read
See the heroes laid low while the miscreants live
Can a righteous Heaven the dark traitors forgive
While history's page the sad record shall keep,

Mrs. G. T. KEMBALL, of Jesup, makes
complaint in the Conservative, this week,
of the failure to decorate the grave of her
brother, soldier of the Union, buried in
lakewood cemetery, during the exercises
of Memorial day. We can appreciate her
feelings over this apparent neglect, and 1t
is matter of regret that any brave sol
diers should have been omitted in the
honors done the patriot dead on that oc.
casion. But we are sure that it was not
intended and that the. committee cannot
fairly be blamed for it. They endeavored
by advertising in the paper two weeks be-
fore Decoration Day, to ascertain the To-
cation of all soldiers graves, and if her
brothers. grave was passed without notice,
Mrs. Kimball or her friends must share
the responsibility, in not responding to
the notice.
