MRS CAssIDY's RECORDER.

Editor of THE NEWTOwN BEE: h or yer that the public may clearly under tand will give them little history of ht private concerns of 5he family which ,3 of such complete ind f-rence to your "9rFe2p pondcnt. fine mother of the boy
 D her death bed begged her father and a0ther to keep and care for her boy. The promise to do so was made and was great comfort to her in her last hours. Ehe patcrnal grandparents and father of ne boy would not let him remain where lis mother wished hjm to be, with his maternal grandparents, who had cared or mother and child until he was going n his third year and was not a sickly in- 'ant as your corre.p .pondent states. The lay finally came when that promise .ould be wholly kept and they at once ook steps to do so. As to the petition
 tarted by 8 prominent man,as the South jord correspondent says, and sjgoed by men and women and not ono person who
 igued the petition was notified when the leariDg was to take place, that is plain for any one to understand. The man vas not as prominent as he supposed himself to be, and if he had been the ,igners of his worthless petition would nave killed it. They had a conscientious judge, too, who knew all the facts of the ease, but meddlesome tongues will have something to do. What I said in refer ence to the County Home and Humane Society ia the truth, and also that they had aid from the town. Any one inter 2sted enough to find out or prove wheth- 1T the present guardian is a suitable per son 1 would refer them to the town of Oxford, as be has been q resident and taxpayer Of that town for more than 10 years, or the known pains5sking of tbe judge who assigned him to Us.
