Dean Sin—I have frequently noticed “Notes from Orwell” iv your valuable journal. Your eorrespondent is well known to the sorrow of his many respectable eon. nections, to be utterly regardless of the trath, and in all his Notes this prepensity to draw upon his imagination, appears to predoninate. 1 should net netice the fel- iow, but consider it my duty te eontradict & walicieus untruth whieh appeared in your issue of the 18th., with reference to the t ‘gg Singing School. This settlement, long noted for civility, and the high mora! character of its young men and women, cannot allow an insult of this kind te pass unchallenged. That the usual quietness of the singers was disturbed on their way howe tha other night by a rowdy is true,

| but the settlement is not going to rest under
