Is il possible that he can face an intelligent
uubkc and deny that he has been throwing

"Last Monday night the young people Of
Rutland rendered the Shaver band ii benefit in
lGe2rge PARIS hay-barn. Pity this timely as
sistance had not been given before the Fourth.
Some men spend the best
years Of their life then never play tune cor
gectly"
THIS is from Brookfeld Fellows" article
Of July 49, In his article of Avg he uses
she following language;
ave had il from a reliable source that one
Of the band, at least stood round the Fourth
Of July like a fifth calf, and did not dance IN.
Ill n gentleman gave HIM hls ticket"
Now, call such work rs this throwing
flrt." and believe that the facts fully justify
me in so calling it.
In the first place, the Shaver band is abund.
antly able to take care OF itself financially, and
does not stand in need of assistance, timely"
OR otherwise.
In the second place, " Brookfield Fellow y
never had had 1t from reliable source that
one Of the band stood round like fifth calf
Se doubt his having it from any source other
than his own Imagination.
Unless Brook field Fellow" comes forward
and gives the name of his "reliabie' inform.
ant we will be compelled to brand him pub
liciy as having broken the Ninth Command |
nsnt
Since he did not see 1T 70 commence this
action IN the Office of T. c. Macknlcy | see
no reason why it should be ended there.
