Sm,â€" Will you kindly allow me space in the columns of the Gazette to condradict Ratopnycr in his communication of Decem- ber 4th. Well, Mr. Editor, in as few words as possible we are going to show the public the present position of the school question, and it won’t make any difference to Rate- payer how much truth we tell in this reply to him, it will probably be contradicted in next week’s Gazette; and we don’t care how much untruth he tells and how much llatepuyer may slander us and say evil things, we will not answer him, as he is well known at home and abroad. First. Ratepnyer says he had it chat with the teacher and trustee,J. B. Powles. Well, the writer had no such thing as a chat with the teacher and trustee. The Batepayer that is throwing the bulls had a conversa- tion with the two, Mr. Smitheram and J. B 1‘owlcs, and we challenge the ratepayer to come face to face with the teacher and say hi< boy learnt all the lessons he got to learn. We say that is false. Ratepayer states that it was through spite that the article was written, and we tore open the old \vound. What wound does Rntepuyer menu? Well, I think it was in the month of June, 1895, Ratepayer accused the post- master of tearing and soiling their mail, which they got at the oilice, and the post- master accused Rutepayer of scattering false stories through the neighborhood. Proverbs, 6th chapter and 1911) verse : ” A false witness that spenketh lies and he that soweth discord among brethren." 1f Ratc- payer had a grain of common sense he might know that tho postmaster would not do what the postal guide strictly forbids. Batcpoyer says “one of the Lindsay papers has rnfused to publish any more of his trash.” Has it? The Canadian Post, Lindsay, Dec. 7. Bear 5 r,-â€"We have never had occasion in refuse to publish any items sent by the l‘wt‘s correspondent nt Powles's Corners, and We can flatly contradict anything to the contrary. Our business with the cor- .respondent has been most satisfactory. Yours truly, Witsos & Witsos. Watchman, Dec. 8th, 1896. Referring to Ratepaycr's letter in the Fcnelon Falls Guam, we never at any time refused to publish any contribution from you or the li'utcilmim‘t,correspondent at i’owlcs's Corners. The columns of the Il'dft‘ltntdu are always at your disposal for any communication from you. Yours very truly, Crone: Li'rts. Now and henceforth, let the public judge for themselves, and once more we refer to Proverbs 6th and 19th. The ratepnycr need not and dare not say anything about slaudcriug. He knows who slandcred the pusltuttslt‘r in handwriting at Hell's Cross- ing the first of Jan- ury of the present year. Now 1 must close. This will be the last,at1 will not answer anything more from Ratcpnyrr, knowing the source from which it comes. Thanking you, Mr. Editor. for your time and space, 1 rumniu AN OLD RESIDENT.

A postmaster is required to give notice by letter (returning the paper does not answer the law), when a subscriber does not take his paper out of the office and state the reasons for its not being taken. Any neglect to do so makes the postmaster responsible to the publisher for payment. 2. If any person orders his paper discon- tinued he must pay all arreureges, or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken from the office or not. There can be no legal discontinu- ance until the payment is made. 3. Any person who takes a. paper from the post-office. whether directed to his name or another, or whether he has sub- scribed or not, is responsible for the pay. 4. If a subscriber orders his paper to be stopped at a. certain time, and the pubâ€" lisher continues to send, the subscriber is bound to pay for it if he takes it out of the post-office. This proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay for what he uses. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the post-office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prime focic evidence of intentional fntud. ‘ 38‘ The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and re- fuses to pay for it. man who allows his subscription to run along for some time unpaid, and then orders it discontinued, or orders the postâ€" master to mark it -‘ rt-fused,"nnd have a postal card sent notifying the publishers. lays himself liable to arrest and fine, the some as for theft.
