THS MOUNT SOMERS CONCERT — OUR REPORIER IN REPLY.

TO THE EDITOB. Sib, — In answer to " One of the sootlled Christian Choir," I beg' to obaarve that your reporter's -mistake of dabbing yoar oorrenpondent's Blngiug oaia wlh so honorable a name arose through the nose some people wore making while the Chairman of the meeting read oat the first item making him inaudible. The second aud only other mistake yoar reporter made m his report .of the ooncert, was, that he substituted as the introductory It^m " Qoldau Gate" for " Lord Thy Glory." Your readers can judge for themselves, by comparing his report with that of your correspondent. Every item was not especially mentioned, your reporter's own items included ; became he signalizes only performances of special merit, and deemi it sufficient to praise the rest m a general way. But besidea this reason for oraltilDg a few iterce, was net, Oh, "So-called Christian," the man whom you find fault with absent for some tlm.3 from the concert, while he good-naturedly was engaged m copying the words of *' Village Chorister "for yen ? WouW yoo not be a better man and not only a " Christian choir " member, bat a Christian lnded, if you remembered all euch little courtesies, ma "*»v of which the Mount Somera reporter for the "Guardiao" has shown you ;If you app'ibV* fco h!m Pe™°nally to get aoy little mlstikes .notified which we all are liable to make ;it 7 0U g«tefully remembered how the man ye"?* *«* •* co biliously haa often helped you to w '•» those plaudits and kudos which delight yotiF heart ; if you bore m mind the many ocoasJous on which he has assisted you and yours Id public, when he applied the friendly and soothing "puff" te yourself ? Think of this, and repent. I am, etc, Youb LooAt Reporter
