AS the correspondent of the Enpress
. in this place seems to delight in snap
ping up the MONITOR for alleged mis-
| statements, it may be interesting to
, the party to see the errors reprinted,
e which appear in the Barton CORE
e spondence to that paper. Those who
live in full glazed houses must eX-
e pect that constant stone-thrOwing
will provoke retaliation. Take the
2 correspondence of last week as a
= sample: 81. B. Baldwin, village
e treasurer;" 81. r. Ellis has bought, =
S &c. &c. E. Griffin has decided not to
: 60 to Oregon" ''Mr. Stratton, the
1 bank teller &c. 1.-THE item in the
> MONITOR of last week to the effect
(. that Rev. L. Phelps was expected to
4 leave his pastorate here is incorrect.
We are authorized to say that the
: statement was unjust and without
authority The MONITOR, in the
, first part of the above item, is mis-
: quoted. The item referred to was as
follows: sit is reported that Rev. L..
Phelps is liable to close his pastorate
with the Congregational church at
i. this place, owing to the feeble condi-
;. ton of his fathers health" The
:. above report was current, as many in
: the village well know. If the CORE
d spondent is ''authOrized" to state
: that the statement was ''uniust,' - it
8 must be proved first, that our item was
untrue, and second, that it did some
body some harm. We state on the
# best authority that there were facts
r in connection with the case that war
" ranted us and others in believing that
. the thing mentioned was E'liable" to
: occur, whatever were the pastor in
4 tention in regard to leaving his pas
II torate. If, however, the above item
% was intended by any body as a thrust
~ at the MONITORS veracity, after the
style of Camps dull stabs, we have
N only to say, proceed" We feel il
is regard to it about as the big minister
70 did, who had waspish little wife who
in was in the habit of pounding him wher
she got mad. One day, friend wit
Messing the operation, asked him why
'd he permitted such rude treatment OF
IN the part of his wife. II permit it,
,e he replied, "because it seems to dc
9 her great deal of good, and doe:

The Patrons store was sold at pub
