DsAB Sib, â€" In your issue of the 18th of Maifdi an ai'ticle appears 07er the signature of 11. H. Stiuson, which has only to be read to give the most casual cbseryer an idea of the dispositioii and charactbr of th« writer. That "I knsw too m ich for him" fully ex- plains th«' oyer- weening wlf-couceit of the man. Then follows a tirade of personal abuse which is seidom met with in a public journal. Your loot note, Mr, Editor, fully explains your opinion as to the propriety of allowing such billingsgate to appear in t?ie columns of your paper. But as some men will bang themselves if they can only get rope enough, it is wi^ll (hat you did allow this wolf in sheep's clothing an opportunity to expose the depravity of his heart. Df course .Mr. Stinson prides himiself in being very popular where he formerly resided, aud boasts of being presented, ou leaviag with a copy of the Scriptures. It is a pity that a perusal of that good book hadn't a nioie salutary effect upon his life and courersation. But, Sir, he that as it may, I heard a lady say that if Mr, Stinson would ouly leave this iieigliborhood. she Would willingly give him six Bibles, and considers his removal would be sufBcient remuneration for the money in vested. But, Mr. Editor, to be brief, this diflScnlty arose through the actions of Mr, Sanson, (as he claims to be the centre aroiird which all the otheri revolve) by collecting and keeping on hand a large amount of the people's money as a surplus tliau was neces- sary and when the sciiool grant was retained until a second grant was forthcoming before being applied to its legitimate use, suspicions lid arise, and some were wicked enougl* te charge Mr. Stmsoo. not with dishonesty in the matter, but in his extremity of utiug the surplns for tis own private purposes. This, Mr. Editor, is the whole trouble in a nut sht'll, and an investigation of such matters should not arouse the ire of an honest aud intelligent man and Stinson's own actions, as admitted in his letter, show conclusively that he is not such an adept in school law as he imagmes, otherwise be would no have disqualified himself by retaining the school moneys in his hands as See.-Treas. under the plea of having made an imitation o| a blackboard ou the wall. As to the charactw of those who he nuligns, it is unnecessary to say much they have all resided in this sec- tion of country as long as Mr. Stinson aud it is not saying much for them) that their ..nctlous, either private or pubhc, will bear a Comparison with that frentleman's. Thanking yoa for so mach space in your \-aluaUa paper, I remain Yonrs tndy, Samdxl Walssb. From our own correspondent.
