Baltimore. One McBride Adams, who lives somewhere in the woods east of here, alleges that while in one of our taverns on Thursday night of the week before last, he was robbed of the sum of $80, and even goes as to name the person who robbed him. As it happens, the accused party was not in the village that night; besides, no one in this neighborhood would for one instant believe that he would be guilty of such a thing, until the facts were proven. I don’t mean to say that Adams was not relieved of a few dollars. Perhaps he was. But most certainly I do not believe that he lost one dollar in the tavern he says he did, or, in fact, in any other tavern in this village. When parties get the worse of liquor they may expect to lose something, their senses for instance. Consequently they have no one to blame but themselves. But when a man asserts that he is “robbed” by another, such an assertion should either be substantiated or apologized for. A man’s good name is far too important to permit that it should be lightly and wantonly slighted; and even the extraordinary modesty, the peculiar amiability and gentleness of the refined “Buck,” should not be the alternative of proving his words or—eating them. Cobourg World, Oct. 10, 1879.
