 In the last number of the BRE, your Woodbury correspondent "Vred' intro duccs into his article an unjust accusation against MT. Wm. J. Wells, who has done business among us for several years and proven himself an honorable and up right citizen and reliable business man. The charge is that he sold out the con tents of his shoe store and business to MT. Wheeler. and agreed not to go into business again in town. "Vred" should have been moro careful in his statements. He should have found out the truth be- fore he made an injurious statement against any one. Now the facts, as am crcdibly informed by one who knows, are these: Mir. Wheeler asked Mir. Wells what he would take for his store ofgoods. MT. Wells named a price large enough, aa he supposed, to prevent an acceptance. But Mir. Wheeler accepted, and their agreement was reduced to writing and speaks for itself. There is no clause i'll 1t that restraints Mr. Wells from going into the same business, whenever he chooses. After little time Mir. Wheeler complained that some of the property purchased was not as good as he thought it was. Mir. Wells immediately offered to take back the goods, repay him all he had paid, and give him fifty dollars besides as bonus. But Mir. Wheeler de clined, and so the matter rests,
 There has been some gossip that Mir Wells had put stock of goods into Mir Chapmans store at tho Vile, and was running an opposition from that point There is no truth In this story. There are three store of general merchandise a the Vile. Two of them keep consider able stocks of boots and shoes Chap hlah ""Htcu to cUIupcIv wIIn IHrm anu 5, got Mfr. Wells to purchase some stock fo, him. as he could buy better than he at tn, places where he. had previously bought for himself. The goods were billed tc MT Chapman, and the investment is hie own. Mir. Wells has not cents interest directly or indirectly in, the goods oI property. Mir. Wells name was on the boxes In which the goods came and hence the outcry.
 Mr. Wells has no present intention of going Into tho retail boot and shoe trade. though he holds himself perfectly free to do so. having never agreed to do other- wise. He does, however, intend as soon as practicable, to go into the manufacture of boots and shoes for the trade, There are parties who desire to furnish him the stock and take all the manufactured goods that he can make. If he enters this business he will be able to wholesale to MT. Wheeler and all the other dealers in town. presume also If the hunlblest elector of the town should want to buy a pair of boots, that Mr. Wells would ac- commodate him. because hc would have the right to do so without asking the consent of any man, and without breaking any agreement, express or implied.
 TRUTH.
 We wish to correct wrong impression "Vred's" part in this matter. "Vrcd" knew nothing of it, and it was by a mere accident that "Nameless" escaped the fathering or mothering of it. What was published came in substance to Us from good authority, and we presume the writer will want a reply. If so, we shall give space, provided tho subject does not descend 10 personalities. We are for fair play as well as for the right and truth. EDIToR.l Mir. Henry Lambert died of apoplexy last Wednesday. He leaves wife, four sons and large number of friends to norm his loss.
