(To Hit Editor) Sib, —Carrying on a newspaper warfare wil.h an " anonymous " correspondent is somo ihing like fighting with a shadow. Writer* A this kind frequently make statements thit they wou'd not dare to attach their names i ■>. "Parent" appears to me to be one of this class: To read his last effusion, one would suppose that I had been guilty of some " damning heresy," or had been engaged iv some Nihilist, Land League, or Fenian move ment; whereas the simple facts are, that I said " I did not do certain things." He said " I did." I challenged him to produce proof. He professes to do it on the* " testi mony of the (Jh lirman and other members of the Committee." The members of Com mittee to whom he referred I did not know j but knowing the Chairman, I interviewed him, when he at once denied the statements imputed to him. What about "Parent's" veracity after this ? I leave him to meditate on it. In conclusion, I would say that I never denied being present in the school housa on the "eventful night," but I stated that the business of the meeting was concluded before my arrival, and I repeat that state ment. I forward you a copy of the minutes for publication, and bidding adieu to my kind* hearted friend "Parent." — I am, &c., William Livinsstok.
