fiat, white clay soil, back of the old
brick yard and no iit place fora pub
lie schoolhonse or Fairgrounds for
children. As to the price of the lot,
which "N" said in his letter that he
understood it sold for $1,000 short
time ago, and for which Justice
claimed he told whopper, l have it
from Mr.. n. p. Luff's papers, which
he holds at this writing, the price of
this lot Dec. End, 1874, was $6l.O0,
instead of $4,000, as reported by
Justice" Suppose that Justice"
made a mistake in the lot, and gave
you what the old brick yard lot sold
for after being manufactured into
brick and sold by the thousand. We
don't claim this as a whopper, but
only a mistake "Justice" SAYS it is
a high, level piece of land. 1t may
be level, but he says it is high. This
is not a whopper, but only mistake;
for the lots owned by Doctor J. A.
Moore, only a short distance from
this LOT, Twas a natural fish pond few
years ago and until the doctor had it
filled up and sOwed down in timo-
thy; therefore, an" was right about
cultivating German carp. AS for its
being dry,it is dry at this time, and
all Of our bitches are, also; but when
the rains begin to fall, and the earth
begins to freeze and thaw, l think
with "M' that a mud scow will be
to reach the public school
building. Further,if this committee
exercises no more Judgment in the
erection Of a building than they have
in selecting a lot L think it would be
to wait on our friend, DR..
Rein who is fitting up the seminary
in order to attend his patients, and
get him to put up a department for
the insane so as to have it ready for
a part of this committee and poor
old "Justice. " | say a part of this
committee, as I don't wish to include
alias one OF two of them are men of
good standing; but they do not meet
with this school board any more, as
they can do nothing for themselves
OF friends, and ask to withdraw from
the committee. One of them will
never send his children to this school:
this l have from him. As to the
value of the seminary,it Is the high
est and most suitable place for n pub
lie school within the limits of our
town and has an elegant well of water
and splendid shade; it is a house 40
XG0 feet, three stories high, in good
repair well painted and is considered
by three-fourths of the taxpayers, a
cheap house at $4,000. Placing the
value of this house at $4,000, the
same that "Justice" says that Z. L.
Rice, the valued it; we will
take into consideration that the lot
md location is worth at least $1,000
more than the clay hole, that they
nave chosen for this purpose, which
will make it worth $4,000. The
stockholders offer to sell it at 1900,
md it has, as an" has said in his let
er, paid-up policy of $4,000, if it
should be destroyed by fire. 1 sup
pose that it would not do to pur-
house all in good repair, as

two carpenters, one haru-
ware dealer and two shOemakers-I
-ou can see that they are taking adj

The seminary will accommodate
me hundred or more at this time,
nd ill,with a little expense of $500
0 $500, accommodate more scholars
han any house they can build.
