Y., mnder the Act of Congress o f March 3, 1879. M onroe , N. Y. April 24. ’08 IHERS OF POPOICINIESI. Public Criticism vs. Personal Slander. That the criticism of the street manners of ahe present generation ol the Monroe young *irls as set forth in Mr. Seely Bull’s letter dat- '•*«d April 8th has taken root in one intellect of « different understanding is evident in the an jswer signed E. V. L. That, in this particular case, Mr. Bull's effort will bear fruit is dot as to whether public discussion of such ques tions produce better and more lasting results «n the youth of a tender age,than aless harsh anethod would. But then Mr. Bull seems to aim his forces more at the parent than at the In,open and clean cut. His accusation was general, and not3t personal. His thougl dedly and persoi anindedly a well express* he was courteous d did not seek p ambiguous initials. The article b> suggestive of le attack on Mr. Bull’s personal charac- enough to sign bis name and did not seek protection behind bis or some i anind, ill adi bis or some ambiguous initials. ' is suggestive of a selfish, narrow ter seems as unjust as it was uncalled for, and is to regretted. The editor would do well to onsign such personals to the the official bask- munity tl ildhavebe There is a feeling such an article as Mr Bull’s should have been left to a more mature mind, with a family •training experience. This point of view has its merits and should be approac' e I with due 'ike a poor excuse lor a tecausesome older married, man fails to respect; but it seems 'ike to neglect his duty ai le older married, man the interest. Mr. Bull saw what he thought IS his duty; he had the ability of.expcessi and the strength to make known his convict ions. In return he is personnlly attacked. £ut that is the way of man. To conserve the dignity of the community, roadminded, general discus- d the press, b in should not g M alvin H. H a u . Lake Mombasha. There are few readers of this paper, who have not heard of Lake Mombasha and its beautiful surroundings. Those who have heard of it, but who have never seen it, not imagine, what it means to be on on ideal apot of this earth. I spent my Easier holidays there with my ■wife, on the farm of Mr. Kuehn’s, who is as- •?i5ted by Mr. & Mrs. Owtler. Tht »lotie, who are the most pleasant ones i cable, arc worth while the trip.

Nothing will turn a prospective new-comer away from a village as quickly as an unclean or untidy condition of the streets and of business, from which they form pression of the thriftiness of the business men and the executive ability of the town or vil lage government, passing through oi wiih its beaut ful sidewalks and reels, has been favorably com mented upon by the travelling public while through on the various local and ex press trains daily.
