MR. EDIToR:-With your permission
would like to say Il few more words to
your correspondent in regard to that
sireG nf'ftr. | think, in reply to his first
question in the paper of two weeks ago.
that he may more properly be called a
li>turber of the peace than peace
maker. aud think upon examination OF
his first letter almost any uelL-thinking
man would agree with me. Now, Mr.
C.i.ras pnu.leht. hrinI SO familially ac
unaintrd with Mr.. II. as You say yon
are and knowing him to be whatever
YOU claim to know of him, would it not
nave been rs well to have considered the

tiIri(fi' pt Line peace anl all that, pub
tlsh this ugly transaction aud thereby
have our town rest under such dis

Tie least said of them the better. Per
maps YOU had not thought ut that in you,

not quite every community is infested
with men Of whom little is said I.teW
yeRt men are most generally found giving
strict attention to affairs that pertain IT,
their own interest and when this is wei!

that there are few men in our land against
whom might not be found more or less

dealings have had with him, that he is
the man for the business consigned to
him.
Now. Mr.. Correspondent, word in
regard to enr high trustees. ! agree
with YOU and believe them to be gentle
men. who will work for :he go0d of our
public and as my interest is in the pub

DISPOSED to call in accusation our worthy
trustees. for FLey, as we'll as other men.
are liable to mistakes, which | fear the
selection of our present Principal is one,
although. like yourself. have only seen
Mr. L. on the street. and that a few times
only when | have been in town. If
were to go AaGt oyer even the short time
he has been in our community, and rake
together all these odds and ends. per-
hapS | could have quite a suJjTct: but
suffice it to say know nothing of him
that have reason to believe will in any
generation.
In regard to Mr.. Juror coming out of
the barber shop and suggesting to Mr..
II. to take his case to h-li for Justice.

would want to take it before a different
body of men. auu nat the SAME ones that
ignored his claim tor bill once. So |
think Nv Juror had about as well kept
his suggestion to himself.
Now. Mr.. Correspondent. | hope you

PRINCIPAL, ard h%Ie Ae will improre nv
