In granting license they ought to
look we'll to the character of the
men who make application, before
granting license. There are some
who have been running saloons the

saved the mill, but the engines and
boilers will have to be reset, which
will cause some delay to the owners.

II is mot often tbat tb;s naner dis.

1t is not often that this paper dis
! cusses personal matters, editorially,
but when the only published ac-
count of the difficulty between Hon.
]. S. Spencer and Prof. w. ]. Ken
ny exhibits such a wanton and reck-
less disregard of truth, decency and
fairness, as could only emanate from
malice and personal hatred, we con-
slider it our duty as an editor and
publisher to give the public the facts
in the case and then let them draw
their own conclusion.
Prof Kenny, at the time of the
difficulty referred to, was the Super
intendent of the Episcopal Sunday
School at this place.
Among the children who attend
that school is a little ten year
old step-son of Mr.. Spencer.
On last Sunday, a week ago, while
in Sunday School, the Professor
slapped the little child severely sew
eral times, causing him to cry.
AS he went crying home, with
other children, he was met at the
gate by Mr.. Spencer, who upon as
certaining the cause of his tears,
Immediately started up street with
a cane after the Professor. Over
taking another Sunday School child
he satisfied himself still further OF
the facts of the case.
By this time he had nearly caught
up with the Professor, who was on
the other side of the street ahead
of him, on his way home.
Crossing the street, he overlook
him, and taking from him slight
reed cane he carried, he caught him
by the shoulder with the other hand
and turning him around face to face,
he said, "What did you hit that boy
for?" Not receiving a satisfactory
answer, he Immediately commenced
using the cane on the Professor, un-
til it was broken to pieces.
At this time Messrs. Edmund and
Columbus Sehon came up and in
terfered, preventing further pro-
ceedings.
These are the plain facts carefully
ascertained from reliable and res
ponsible persons.
We do not pretend to justify eth
er of the parties, but leave the mat
ter where we find it.
Those who live in the neighbor-
hood thoroughly understand the
facts to be as above stated. Those
who live away are liable to be mis-
led by misinformed or prejudiced
persons-hence this article.
