Mr.. Editor:-I notice that Peter Connal,
ESQ.,, seems to have been greatly exercised
in regard to an item, which appeared some
time since in the MONITOR, in regard to
the little matter of his tip over. AS this
cannot be very interesting to the general
publ will state in brief that as eye
witness, standing not far from the scene,
the report was just as it looked to have
been. If it happened to be mistaken in
any particular it may not have been any
farther from the truth than have been
some of the items, which he has sent to a
local paper. The item itself was only in
tended as mild joke, and I regret that
Mr.. G. took it in such sober earnest. But
may he continue to shine forth 'sfair as
the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as
an army with banners"
