But now, I am sorry to say t*' am ashamed, heartily ashamed, of the «&;_ duct of a number of her youths. Is it a". thing to b8 proud of, so see bands of young men and boys assaulting the -old of bo_V, sexes, young" girls, people driving traps «_T. riding "horses (when it is all you carndo. 1 to keep tho poor horses on their feet),-ia}d_ there is not the sTisrhibest chance of a m.tm<' ball in return? No, sir, if they have M pluck of lice,' let them . pick' upsides and have a good set-t0,,----but if they are curs enough to assault fchoßK who cannot retaliate, let those assaulted da* as I shall do for tluc future, introduce tteat: to the S.M-—Yours, etc., ,-- F. €r.
