Your correspondent is a broth- ! er to Editor Grist, and 1 am the | the clerk ot court of York coun- 1 ty. The account states that Mr. Windle and Mr. Jackson entered my ollice "gether with s'ickt and that Windl** jumped on Grist and continued to beat him over flic* hnnrl it'll li Ilia G f 1 t lid VHC H *m *?lO ?v??^ wnv only interference offered by me was that 1 "suggested," after awhile that the assault had probably gone t?r enough. The facts are that Mr. Windle entered the cilice alone and began the attacK on Grist, unex pected by me, striking him about two or three blows. I was sitting on the opposite side ot the table and as .-oon as 1 could got up and got 'lie slick and put it out of Mr. Wiudle'e reach. At this juncture Mr. Jackson entered, carrying his stick, according to custom Windle was pound iug Grist with his fist, and I caught Windle's arm and pulled him back. lie turned on me i i 1?> ii..a i t ..i ftliu U^IliiUlUoU IWiyo Illclb 1. I U1 II him loose. Jackson sai'l, "Turn him loose, Tate, an.i let them tiyht it ou " I turned him loose. NVindle struck Grist suv*'iai blows with tiis list, and said, "You draw vour pisiol oil me, ' ou , and I will kill you.'1 1 could no t*-ll from my position whether Grist made any attempt to draw his pisiol or not. Windle choked him and Grist uollered police Jackson si anoint near the door closed it. Windle made two attempts t?? yet his slick, and I would not let him have it and told him not ?o use his stick. Windle and Jackson then walked out. The Grist family and I have ~t ? uccu KM ttuuin iiiuit'un years, but there has been one or two periods during that, time when we were on good terms. For ihe his! two or three year-1 they have been bitter, especially your correspondent, and they have done all they could to defeat me in the recent election, but failed.

The recent unprecedented floods have wrecked or swept away entirely about fifty bridges in the county. Some ot these bridges are wrecked and can bo repaired, but many, or most of them, must be built anew.
