The first mentioned is entirely ' untrue, as' no appointment' was made by the board. Respecting jthe second matter ypuri correspondent has so drawn upon his imagination in order, I presume, to exhibit theg'ich vein oj humour which, he ' evideritlVcQns|idera himself blessed wAhl as 't^eave^DUFth'e skeleton "of '^Elie'TFeaT'occu^- 1 repdeXaM^dl^^oui^plipel^el^niarks attributed to me might be interpreted as the rabid utterancea_p£ an anti-liquor criisador, and to heighten the supposition the writer tells a,, wilfuL-fp.lgehold, and asserts that I am a'memtie'r of the Blue Ribbon yAj>myL«That he* waa .welLra'Hsajre jtbjEtt^this .was ..false « L. am .confident.
