 West Cornwall No.2.
 ED NEWS :-I have been very much amused from time to time. by the humorous items in your paper, but think the most ridiculous thing have seen was article No. ?. from this town, in your last issue the idea that anyone could have the unlimited "cheek' to sign that article "Truth, , was too much.
 wish it understood at the start, that have made no statements that I cannot prove and do not propose to, while this individual has made none that he can prove; but he be- ing a fyer, presume it comes perfectly nat ural for him. when he has no case, to try to make one. I will take up his points as they come. did not say the report of the schoo visitors was false. I said that the report from the 18th district was, and I can prove it. If had only consulted him in regard to running the school, and tickled his vanity little, the school would have beer In good shape and received glowing report. He was Informed" 1t was through compas- sion for my ignorance that the visitors alloy. ed me to draw the public money. Now was not aware that the town elected officers tc disburse its money through compassion fol any one's ignorance, and why was he in formed? He was a member of the board and it was his business to kaaOao about these things, otherwise he did not do his duty te the town. In regard to the substitute I sent to visit the school, he is all wrong. The young man referred to did not visit the school or teacher at the school house but once dur ing the year, and that was on the last day O
 the first term, when there were number o other visitors theTe, which he or anyone else
 had perfect right to do Whatever visiting he did outside of school hours is none of his ''lordship's" business, or of the board of schoo l visitors.
 In regard to the school not being opened and closed at the proper time, I will leave tho
 people of the district to decide, which sever al have done already in my presence. Ht says one of the school visitors remonstrate( with the teacher in regard to her conduct, ant ; that is what I called rebuke. Now that i. the most barefaced lie of the lot; the crcum stances were these: He manufactured anG circulated bit of gossip about the teacher and she, meeting him on the street, told hin
 that Eff he did not retract what he had said he was no gentleman" Now is that rebukt
 or is It not? Furthermore. he acknowledged
 before two persons that he kneao there wal no foundation for what he had said.
 At the final examination ln July it coul(
 easily be seen the school was failure. "-
 Why didn't he say so at the time? he wal
 examining the school, but he got up, spread
 hls wings and made favorable report don't get this from the teacher, but from the
 scholars since his article appeared. ''Upor
 these facts the acting visitors, three of them
 placed before the town. etc. j" they die nothing of the kind. Now he is trying te "crawl' behind the board of visitors. One
 of the visitors came to me, and pointing ou
 that part of the report, sald, T want you tt
 understand that is Lot report Of the schoo
 DOarO, N1cKerson maOe the report TOT tne i0tf district, and he is entirely responsible for it
 Now will tell him how he got that item in The secretary of the board was out of town ard could not be back in time to prepare his report for the printer, so he forwarded it by mail to this m6ce young man, and asked him to take that with the rest of the reports, anG 1 copysthem. It was then he made his little
 thrust at the teacher of the 18th district, and , the rest of the visitors knew nothing of it un til they saw it in print. That IS how it came over their signature, and my quotation above
 shows how It struck one of them. "His nat
 ural disposition at once asserted itself, he
 would call them liars" did not call them
 liars, l stated who was the liar, and whep-I l k7,0W anyone tells a deliberate and malicious Iia naver becitata to tolJ hin, so orrar
