The IErELLIGEScER the other dsy reprinted
from the Buffalo Courier q letter written bJ
q young person signing himself Per
simmon, dated at New Martinsyille
Wetzel county, in which the writel
slandered the fair sex OF Moundt,
vile with an animus which was apparent ID
the most casual reader. The statement BY
such q scribbler that the young ladies o.
Moundsyille resembled clay figures, when In
fact the pretty little county seat OF Marshall
Is noted for 1t, pretty girls, could only amuse
the disinterested reader. II was to be 'ex,
peCted, however, that the fair maids oil
Morndsyille would resent the foul Islander,
aud the appearance OF the lettsr In this paper
has had the anticipated effect. Several re.
plies have been received. 0nd signed -Four
Of the Snow and Mud Images has the fol-
lowing:
"This real, living correspondent OF the far
away Buffalo Courier was such an ordinary
looking parsonage, that the beautiful lass'es
Of our little town passed him by unwept,
unhonored and unsung.
THE expressions this correspondent In
dulges In In reference 10 the good people oil
not only our own little village, but OF the
Ohio Valley generally, shows a want OF re-
tinement and also oil general knowledge. II

who has but few opportunities at home and
but little cultivation, ismuch given to critic

~sinuates that the fact that the Buffalo ''mash-
err did not make ar impression tlattsrlng to
his vanity upon the Moundsville girls, had
something To do with the heat OF his criti.
cisms, and hints at disagreement with the
hotel man with whom he stopped, a nara
tive OF which would not reflect credit upon
young Persimmon. His remarks upon the
prevalence Of insanity pass comparatively
nnnoticed In the comments received. II
may not be uninteresting to the Moundsyil!e
damsel2, and the alleged gnorantinhabitants
OF Wetxel whom Persimmon encountered, to
know that Buffalo has four or five insane
asylums In It's own borders, each larger than
the West Virginia State Hospital at Weston.
