When people want scurrilous and
uncalled-for attacks upon their neigh
bors published they should bear in min
that this paper won't publish them If il
knows 1t. We are prompted to make
this remark by the fact that we mourn
the loss of q subscriber this week
through such refusal, and hence hope
this fair warning will save us from
similar losses In future. The editor is
the only man we know of who is run
ming this paper.
BY some unaccouniable oversight
the name of Mr.. j. u. O'Neil was omit.
ted in our account, last week, of the
Junior Exhibition. Mr.. ONeill gave
an eloquent Grafton, delivered with
dignity and force, on "Agitation IN Ire
land"
Another slip of the types may have
been noticed by our readers. Mr..
Stearns name was printed Jessie
Stearns. CO-euucaIiun has nvI yet uiI-
tered Middlebnry College. Mr..
Stearns will doubtless in due time
take some beautiful Jessie TO be his
better half, but at present his worser
half Is Jesse not Jessie.
