Simply Disgusting.

Mr. E. C. Nowel’s last Contribution to the roller, skate controversy, is so disgustingly coarse -and profane, and marked with such evident ill-nature and vindictiveness, that it cannot fail to re-act, injuriously, upon, himse f Although Mr. Nowks was tho aggro a sor in ihismal-k-r, notwithstanding hia- sertioß. to tlie contrary, we have p.rr- .- ued the subject in a spirit of pence good humor: while with Mr. Newels the cloven foot of that un iififetianTy, unrests; ning. a d malicious hatred, of which vve have long known ourselves to j Lethe object, has been apparent, from t:.c !i;v,t. Wfl will pi.it penie mend t-> answer Mr. Novels’ last t .Art, in kind. Wo shall e-rreet the only positive state rnent he makes, and then drop the subject; but whether we shall drop Mr. Novels or not, will depend mostly upon himself. Mr. Novels assorts that we began the controversy. He probably ' is not aware that wo were informed of the alleged joke he made at our expense, in regard to roller skating, in an open lodge of Odd Fellows, upon the Tuesday evening before this paper first mentioned his performances at the skating rink. That so-called joke of his, based upon the characteristically incorrect statement that we were at the rink when it was made, was the starting jyAst <t& 1 the controversy, and any assertion he may make- to the contrary, will not alter the tri*sh of our statement.
