Mn EpmoR In your JOURNAL OF a
week or two ago an article appeared 10
relation TO the tearing down OF some
fence had presumed to erect in front of
my house Ia this village, concerning
which wish 10 explain. While at White
Plains | noticed some wire fence of new
aud novel construction and purchased
few rods Of il aud erected II in trout OF
my house more as novel curiosity than
anything else. The thought never enter
ed my head that any person could object
to it, but fancy my surprise when three
OF the would.be dictators Of the commu-
nifty beset me In anything but a friendly
and gentemanly manner, one threatening
to complain Of me 10 the selectmen and
have the fence removed instanter, another
denouneing it as the most abominsble
thing he had ever seen. The third, after
display Of oratory and law, sneeringly
remarked to some boys that If be had put
up such fence be should expect the boys
would pull Il down before morning.
That last was sufficient with the former
remarks OF this trinity. My fence was
torn down that night and a complaint
preferred to The selecimen who came aud
viewed the fence bat as yet have issued
no orders for the removal OF It. Further,
these three are the only persons in the
village tina, manifest the least objection
TO IL, but on the contrary most Of the
prominent citizens, such as Graves,
Davis, Motif, Nichols aud Bowen counsel
me to keep the fence up aud defend it
from destruction or damsge. Now what
eau be expected OF rather wild, fun.loying
boys when men Ike these agitators put
them up 10 deeds Of mischief One Of
these acted a controlling part in the
tragedy which resulted in the death OF a
fun.lovlug but otherwise kind. promis-
ing boy In this village. IL Ii strange that
We have burglars, thieves and firebugs In
this community when men OF position
lead them on aud laugh at their unlawful
acts until arson and murder il the legiti-
mate fruits Of their training -and who 10
responsible; Men holding positions Of
honor and trust in both civil and reii-
goas associations.
