There is considerable excitement over Josial1's
communications from Iberia-Some suppose him
to be Of the clerical ORDER and you can't beat them
out of chat idea, man among us got so mad
that he gave expression to his pent-np wrath in
Language which ampled that if he We're grand In.
quisitor, Josiah would be inevitably burned. Some
are scared at their own shadow and make fools of
themselves. They think they see niger in the
fence, and can swear that it is niger, when on
closer inspection. conclude that it was charred
stump. One divine is so positive that Josiah wears
the white neck tie that he makes bones in telling
it: What a knowing mani How fortunate to be
possessed of such sagacity! This last named gentle
sentence against our valued correspondent, and if
he is ever taken, they will compel him to allure
his errors in the most solemn manner, or be burned
at the stake. JOSIAH you stand impeached by your
accusers. You are branded as a hereto, and must
keep dark untila more tolerant spirit prevails
My opinion is Josiah must be omnipresent He
told us nothing but the truth. That is the reason
why our people feel his thrusts so keenly. They
are well aware what he says contains more truth
than poetry. Being resident of iberia, can tes-
tlfy that Josiah has not exaggerated bit. And the
more think the matter over the more am con-
WINGED that Josiah is not only omnipresent, but an
actual being among us, however inclined weldis-
posed persons may be to think otherwise. T am
surprised that any intelligent individual should de-
nounce and excoriatea person with such infinite
relish, on mere srrmize or conjecture. It is the
way, however,, Iudt not d LEW people nave OF dong
things-always basng their conclusions on mere

though one may stermously assert his innocence
and demonstrate it beyond Contradiction, it were
the height of folly to try to beat any knowledge in

would add my denunication against the con-

breaking up of the Sunday School at Albion: 1t was
no credit, but a burning shame to the ones who

people will talk.
s A game of base ball was played between Golden
Gate and Iberia. We do not think that Golden
Gate received that courtesy that should have been
extended to her.
Clubs are too eager to win, and their am bition in
this direction. sometimes overleaps itself. When
it dOes fractional Jealousy is created which runs
high, and generates good deal Of unpleasantness.
Unless the players canhold their temper and prac-
tce that graceful dip called courtesy, victory is
a defeat.
Iberia will yet emerge from her sectional strifes
her fermentation purifying her from all unlealthi-
ness and take a high stand in the scale of being
