GaiLipotis Journal.
The Wheeling Intelltgencer OF
Saturday contained a most infam
GUS communication from this place,
rejecting upon Prof. w. ]. Kenny,
Principal of our public school. The
person who wrote the article was
without heart or soul. That the
whole article was a piece of mean
spite work, is to be seen upon its
face. Mr.. Kenny has been resi-
dent of this town for a great many
years and has the respect and con-
fidence of the people. Our citizens
almost with one accord denounce
the scurrilous article in the InteiH-
gencer. We are informed that Prof.
Kenny has made a written demand
through his attorneys for retract-
ion through the Inteltfgencer, and
also for the author of the article;
and also has commenced proceed
ings against the owners of the In
tetligencer for damages.
The Board of Education of this
district has taken official notice of
the article, and in most emphatic
language denies and condemns the
article referred to. The resolutions
passed by the Board of Education
will be found in another part of this
paper.
