aid of the 8th we clip the following: "Our mes
senger youth is supposed to have been at
SpruiL-hed Sunday. W e hope his asilitv to
sway the scepter of Instruction has not been
limmiahed liy Ins doing so.
We in much admire "Old Hoy's outspoken
ness, we are so completely satisfied of the up
rightness of his intentions - such as they are -that
it is repugnant to us to ipiarrel with any
thing he may say; and sympathixe so warmly
with his manly (?) acorn of our writings, and
with his oasily provoked wrath, that we would
willingly be silent were he not "meddling
where he has no business", aa others in this
Vicinity have expressed themselves iu refeiing
to his stiilf, No doubt, too, this arrogant old
mau thought he was doing wondrous work,
when, iu last issue of Ghahii, he corrected our
misuses' In Ins uboinitiuhle manner. "Ha",
to express it iu the exact language of one of
our best cituens, "is only cutting his own
head off." Now, Old Hoy, when reading this,
we oniiiure you, who never told a fulseh.ssl.
who never did a wrongful set, who never com
mitted an error, who never made a mistake, to
climb down from the high horse which you ride
i admirably and Is) constrained by Uno lino to
keep ycur coiiKloineratioiu of flatulent garruli
