Dea Sib: Arriving base after an ab
sence of U days, I read, the same article in
the Detroit Tribune that printed It first.
Right off I sent to the same paper tbe fol
lowing answer, which yeu will please have
published, if possible:
Editor! Detroit TVituns: OenUemsit:

Item appeared In tbe Rsconir of July 16th,
henee the publication of this correspondence
by ns Ed. J
Tbe Catbolle priest in Mackinaw, Micai-
m. declares inai a marriage nj a Jmun
of tbe Peace is no marriage at all; that par
ties so married are guilty or adultery, ana
that be will not allow them to come inside
of his church. He has said to bis congre
gation: "I will put tbem out wltn toe aogs
where they belong." And again : " A mar
riage outaida tie Church of Rome is spurt-
out, and men panics are living in vpcu
adultery."

position of contract surgeon at this military
post, had the goodness personally to ac
knowledged himself personally to me at the
author of tbisartiole,andls justly sntitled to
all the credit due to tbe oitginator of a gross-
wicked, and mallclout slander, knowingly
and wilfully uttered
I deny and most positively contradict all
and every allegation set forth by tbe man
Mills In the above article, and can, If re
quired, produce tbe testimony of respected
citizens, both Catholics and non-Calbolics,
who were present on tho occasion referred
to, that I did not allude in the remotest de-
. to tho marriaee ceremony or creed of
any dissenting brethren of any denomina
tion whatever. It is to me matter of ex
ceeding regret that I should be obliged to
notice in tbe public press tbe vagaries of
man whose unenviable reputation is to well
known In this community, but when he
avails bimtsll of the weight of an influential
newspaper to point the arrow of his shame-
leu venom, I feel that in justice to tbe ta
orod calling of which I am an bumble mem'
ber, it is my duty to oontradiot and expose
to the publls this vile calumny and Itt eu
ttaor. Before eoncludlof. I would oall tbe
attention of a eaodld public to judge of tbe
character of a man who wat not present in
person to take dowa my exact words on the
occasion referred to, and did not even offer
to correct or modify a statement which, at
best, he received from a third person. I
ask if Intolerance and bigotry could do
more, and does it not clearly show that tbe

Fbajemx. A correspondent of the Erie
Dispatch thus speaks of tbe capital of Ve

other city of its size and age, in the United
States, ean shew as few farms in Its imme
diate viointy. From tbe bridge view, not
a dozen ean be seen, showing plainly that
if she depeaded on her agricultural resonro.

ticises would be seen."
