Refreshing shower to-day. Tbe Venango Spectator of last week takes 11a to task at a dreadful rate In regard lo an article wbicb appeared in the Record a few days slnce showing the msnoer In which our townsman, Mr. A. 8mewley, was treated al Ibe Franklin races, and takes oc casloo to Inform tbe public tbat said article was dictated by Mr. Smawley. We beg to ioform tbe Spectator that said article was not dictated by Mr. Smawley. On the con Irary be (Smawley) bad nothing to do witb it whatever, tbe facts of tbe case having been given us by Mr. J. H. Luther and Mr. J. S. Fieber, both of whom are fullv as re liable In their statements, and In our opin ion more so. than either of tha Franklin racing committee, whom tbe Spectator tries so bard to shield and make appear honor able before the public For the benefit of tbe Spectator and tbe aforesaid committee, wnoseem to be somewhat agitated over tbe expose of their meanness, we give Mr. Smawlcy's statement of tbe case, wbicb be stands ready to make affidavit lo If need be, and we may say further that tbe Imputa tion of being a 'falsifier And swindler" cast upon him by the Spectator li without a shadow of truth. He ias been engaged in business In tbls place and elsewhere (or over ten years and bas too much principle tp resort to "ways tbat are dark and tricks tbat are vaIo," as tbe Franklin racing committee appear to bave done. Here Is bis (Smaw ley's) statement of tbe case: 'About one week before tbe races came oft", Messrs. Fletcher and Chris. Hoover, members ol tbe rsclng committee, waited upon me at my barn, in rear of tbe United States Hotel, and requested me to enter an animal for tbe race. I told them I would not make an entry, but Alter repeated so licitation told tbem I would enter some thing but could not tell until after my re turn from tbe Centre. In tbe meantime the committee bad tba nosiera truck ntr without my koowledge, whloh stated that .. 1 ueo. entered a brown bone, when I die llnotly stated to tbe committee that T ua not know what t should enter. On Thura. day Messrs. Fletcbef aod Hoover came Into my barn, examined tbe brown mare, made no objection whatever, aud I then went Into toe botel, named the brown mare, paid Ibe entrance fee of $10 which was received by Mr. Fletcher, who entered the mare for tbe race. On Friday evenluo- the cmnmittaa notified me tbat tbe brown mars could not run, as I bad agreed to eoter a brown horse when 1 bad not stated what I would ruo, as I can prove by a half dogeo reliable witnes ses who beard tbe Cbnveraatioo." We bave net came lo tbe conclusion as yet tbat tbe language used bv us In tha for mer Article was 'blscSguardnroi," yet If IM onenug tne exceedingly faetra-ious lasle of iue euuor or tne spectator, we will take back tbat portion wbicb crates bis delicate sentltollit lee, ratber than lose our "aelf-r spect" DestrMctire Fire at Foxbnrg.
