LOCAL GOVERNMENT. To the Editor.

Sir., —Owing to a remark in the Mail of the Bth inst. by an anonymous correspondent, I will ask you to obligo me sptce for a few lines. Your correspondent, after firing many rounds of blank cartridge from behind the stone-wall of your confidence, and thinking no doubt the nnfortunato victim of bis ire sufficiently mutilated, goes on to inform us what a " muddle " the Okain's Road Board have been in with regard to its books, and in the same br ath accuses th" Little River Ron! Board of ' similar incompetency. However, as there is a certain ambijruity in this part of your correspondent's effusion, I trust, as the person responsible for that part of tbe litter Board's duties, be will be good enough to assume his true colors, and explain what he wishes to be understood by the representation referred to. I a'so invite him or any ,l resi lent " to come and sitisfy their I'lirioMly by a personal examination.

Come in tiie evening or come in the morning, Come l>y appointment or come without warning,

The books of this Boird you'll find ready before you ; Como in true colors and let fa'sehoi 1 ne'or know you.

—Yours, etc.. T. Quealy, Little River Sept. 15, 1882.
