[For the Ellsworth mericxn.

Mr. Editor: My attention has recently
been called to an article published in the
AMERICAN of Jan 29th ult., In which one,
unknown TO me, over the signature of &c.
H.. made malicious and uncalled for at
tack on the referees in the case of B. VS..
S. which was tried in Sullivan in Novem-
Der, 1882 The case referred to was
trespass case and also involved the title
to q wharf privilege and right of way to
the same. The article signed by &c. H. ."
abounds in incorrect statements in regard
to plaintiffs side of the case B. did not
claim title by gift, but did claim TO have
given II. what was of more value to him
at that time than the privilege at the
shore. The trespass WAS not committed
on the way originally occupied by H. but
on land of plaintiff where defendant had
no right to go under the circumstances.
Plaintiff also claimed by possession for
many years There were two well defined
sides to the case, and both parties were
tenacious. Much of the testimony was
conflicting and hard to reconcile. Plain
tiff's testimony was corroborated by other
witnesses &c. ii. to the contrary not
withstandng) and particularly by an old
gentleman named Pickering, many of the
facts testified to being within the personal
knowledge of one of the referees. The
referees sat through several long and
tedious hearings, the testimony going over
a period Of more than sixty years. They
personally viewed the premises in dispute,
that had been adjudicated by the courts
many years sbefore; and after patiently
and carefully considering the case made
up a report according to the facts as they
understood them, the report being signed
bv the full board. The position of ref
cree Is an undesirable one in any event, as
the defeated party is very sure to be dis
satisfied. The referees in this case did not
try to please either party, but they did try
TO fultil the duty assigned them according
to the oath which they had taken. This
is INC ou4
where any one in sympathy with one of
the parties in a case, has been unmanly
enough to publish an article in the columns
of public newspaper vilifying and ira
ducing board of referees because their
verdict was not according to his ideas of
the case, and respectfully submit to an
intelligent public, as to who under the
circumstances most deserves the ..merci
less contempt of every one"

including Hancock county, the common
schools are not doing the work they might
do, the fault may not be, and probably is
not, in teachers or school officers, SO much
as In those qualities of character which
no statute can bestow, We are justly
proud of our common schools; but let us
not forget that they are, after all. to very
large extent what the average scholar
makes them; and the average scholar is
pretty just representative of the average
parent and the average sentiment which
prevails in the community. Elevdte the
common school and you elerate the people
is a grand truth, but Eiecate the people and
you eleudte the common school is a grander
truth.

Seeing it asked in the AMERICAN of the

occurs in the bible, and having seen no an
swer, will say that it is found only once
and that in Tim. /. II, and is applied to
God. Immortality occurs five times only
Once We are exhorted to seek for it, Rom
al; twice that we shall put it on at the
resurrection, ! Cor. Is, 53-54; and once
that God only hath it; and once that Jesus
brought it to light through the Gospel, in
2 Tim. l, 10. And though the bible speaks
Of the soul seventy three times, it is never
called an immortal soul

tenant Kennedy has lived here about
10 years, during which timc he has

urc is much regretted, as he is IN
