the
RE-
That the Southford correspondent
should In any way, however remotely,be
connected with the proceedings referred
to in the two la.st issues of The Bee can
but be a source of much regret, and the
incongruity of coucoeting falsehoods (?)
over the signatupe of "Veritas," appears
ludicrou, even to the offender. During
the term of years' in whlcSj the South
ford correspondent lias a5td in this ca
pacity, it has been toor honest endeavor
to make simply a t.ifcthful statement of
facts without regard to personal preju
dice ; her last attempt i ias called forth an
open accusation of f slBeiiood, which re
quires vindication. Her attention was
first attracted to this- case y the piteous
sereams of the child begging to be al
lowed to remain with tflw only ne"r
friend he had ever kno.n, i.e. his pater'
rial grandmother. The ommeadable i n
tereet suddenly taken in bis -welfare by
his maternal relatives would feave been
much more commendable., al it been
awakened when the child -was a helpless,
sickly infant; it would seem more disin
terested had not tbe maternal grandfath
er been beard to remark, when he last
took the child that he "didn't care a d rt
for the boy," but would sh-Miy
(naming one of tbe town officers) that he
could get him if he wanted to." That
he made this remark, verbatim, your cor
respondent la prepared at any time to
prove, by reliable witnesses. That tlhis
gentleman was not considered a suitable
person to be the guardian of tbe boy, Is
proven by "the petition to have him 16'
moved, which was started by a protui-
.wit man, aDd one conceded by aif to tut
jist, and feigned by many men and worn
n who are thoroughly acquainted, with
fey r

all the parties concerned and all the facts
cf the case. That not one persou who
signed the petition was notified when the
hearing was to take place, cannot be
clearly aceountedfor,but this fact suffic
iently explains why the maternal rela
tives now have the care of the child; and
the reason of his being where he is at
present, instead of with his affectionate
(?) and lawful guardian, la well known
to be from the fact that it is farther away
from his former home, to which he in-i
fisted on returning, whenever he escaped
the vigilance of his newly acquired rela-j
lives which plainly indicates the child's
preference. That he was dirtv. and Der -
haps ragged, when taken from play, is
fully admitted, as are many children,
when at play, in this democratic country.
That he had plenty of comfortable cloth
ing will be attested to by a selectman of;
this town, by your correspondent, and
by others who have seen it. The refer- j
ence to tbe county home and the humane
society, as a misrepresentation fully
equals any ever made by "Veritas." The!
grandparents with whom the child lived, I
were not in aflluant circumstances, it is I
true, but that they were supported by j
the town or that the child ever lacked
enough to eat or tbe kindest care, is ai
falsehood for which "Veritas" is not ac-
countable, and the boy would himself j
deny this statement, unless; under com
pulsion to do otherwise. The facts here
in stated can be proven to the satiafac- j
tion of any one interested, who cares to :
accept tbe testimony of reliable, Intelli
gent and unprejudiced citizens; the ve
racity of your correspondent can, we
trust, be as fully established, while the
private concerns of the family referred
to are a source of complete indifference
to your correspondent and we presume
to the public In general. The South
ford Correspondent.

THE MASONIC BALL A NOTABLE SCCCESS.
The Masonic ball given in the hall on

American band orchestra was excellent
and dancing was indulged in, in both the

party broke up about 2 o'clock, all hav
ing had a fine time and hoping it will be
an annual occurance.

away frightened Alonzo Seymour's
spirited horse, which was standing before
the office, and it started at a lively pace
down Cutler street but was stopped be
fore any damage was done.
