Editor of Independent,â€"Please insert following letter within the columns your paper if there is yet room. _T beg to call the attention of the many readers of this paper to a rancorous lettar printed in this paper two weeks ago adâ€" dressed to the Editor, and signed Sciool Boy. Undoubtedly the public have some idea, by reading the School Boy‘s letrer, as to whom he referred to as the writer of a former letter signed Rip Van Wingle. Although that letter took his heart‘s blood, (figuratively speaking,) I do not want the worthy gentleman to accuse an innocent person as myself of such sedition and I earnestly entreat my caluminator and his female colleagues to be more careful in future as to whom they accuse as the writer of such rusticity.
