As I ain evidently tlii' pi'rson referred to I would therefore ask your Pricoville oorrespundent for a cleai'er explanation of hia insinuation. If lie means to say that the regime of the afonstid school is, and has been o(, a doubtful and suspicious iiatiue, tlieii I give such assertions a nioM empiiHtic denial ami can fiuinsh abundant |)root to substantiate my statements. There is a vioorons .\nfilo Saxoii word of four letteis which would bo a very ap- propriate epithet ill describiiii; sucli a ciiaiiicter as your nanieless coirespini- dent. What wmi' l.lie motives thai incited him to imblish such a loose fabrication is a nnslcry to me. Let him come out like a man and sign his own iiaine if he has any old f,'nidge lo settle.

This would serve in a orcat meaanre to keep the stairs from being destroyed. Charge a small foe.eiiouoli to cover ajl expenses, from those that go bolow.or rent the key for the day to the picnic party. The place by tliis plan would keep itself in r(!pair. The stairway is at pruseiit in a very dilapidated condition. The supports are very much decayed and the rail- ing gone, so that it is very unlit, even (l.iiigerous, to pass up or ilown. The aiitiiorities should see they are made safe or else have them removed before accidents happen, for the stairway is at preseiiL nothing more nor less ihaii a huge man-trap, and people cannot know until tliey are on them whether they are safe or not.
