A eoirEeM Of weeks ago we stated that
a fight toot: place between two young
men at the Grand Union. In this week's
Record exception is taken to our state-
ment. We would have paid no attention
to the'denial, were it not so specific, and
as, we made :no reflections whatever on the
proprietress of the (rand Union, we do
not do so now. But, we wish to state
most emphatically that the fight occurred
so close to the Grand Union thatwe fail
to see any difference, and the nombatants
were separated by Tnos. Ryan, an em-
ployee of the house, Harry. Fisher, and
others. The affair was witnessed by a
large crowd, who can corroborate our
steternent.• We believe the Grand Union
to be as well. -conducted and orderly, a
house as any in town, and certainly do
not expect to hold it or any other public
house responsible for disturbances occur-
ring in their immediate vicinity.
