Last July, Miss Lizzie was intro-
duesd to two young ladies named
• Nichol, residing in Falstaff ward, by
G. Yemen, a Well known
dentist of this city. Mr. Yemen is
a married man, and old enough to
be the young woman's father. He
told the Miss Niehols that Miss
Welsh was a• friend of his, who had.

largo amonnt of money;- that she

, private echool. A reAV menthe

stant communication, by means bf

to let their interesting boarder seek
another heme. This she did, and
went to Xis, 'knitter's, on Brune -

Wm having a good time, and declar-
ed that she got money regularly

anxious to find out where' it crane

aboutthis time, and 'When he spoke
to her about it, he replied that she
did' not want to speak to him, or
have anything to do with him. She
did not complain that he had over
treated her badly, or that elia had
anything against him. Heeling Dr.
Yemen's name freely 'mentioned to
his •sistelos discredit, Mr. Welsh na-
turally tried to -get at the truth of
the affair. He spoke to Rev, Mr.
Penton and requested that gentle-

The Misses Nichol are two. young
ladies of the:higest character and
respectability, and are esteemed by
all who know them. It will aston-
ish the Citizens of Stratford that any
man should. write thern'such an in -
suiting and abusive letter, much less
Dr. Yemen, who claims to be both
a gentleman and a Christian.
Al-
though the young ladies had no de-
sire that the letter should be pub-
lished, justice, decency, and the
