SPLUTTERINGS FROM A QUILL PEN.

Do tell that idiot ‘ Tepsiobore' that Tommy Dod has frequently opened an Italian opera and aeon prima tenore on the first page; also tell that correspondent that I insist upon classing the writer with the masculine gender, for the simple reason that no one of the gentler sex would write such trash ; also ask him what the goddess of dancing can possibly hare to do with a musical and literary entertainment ? Lewis Samuels, haring * conscientiously, zealously, and to the best of his ability endeavoured to carry out the trust reposed in him ’ {vide his advertisement in last Saturday’s), seeks re-election in the Town Board, Put him in by all means, * fellow townsmen. ’ It will bo quite safe % be is perfectly harmless ! Philip Harington wants to bo elected to the Country Board. At present (for the last two years is more like it) he is unavoidably absent from this district, but will no doubt return again should no sufficient inducement offer itself elsewhere, Harry Gardiner says that writing to the press is not in hia lino ; quite believe it. Messrs McDonald, Somerville, and Kinsley have done a sensible thing in calling a meeting for the purpose of hearing the views of candidates for Town Board. Your leader on Saturday was excellent and to the point. Everything hitherto connected with these Boards has been superficial, and the members have been elected on the chance of their turning out useful. The coach, reception has passed and gone. X only want to mention a real positive fact, namely, that Mr Langbridge was seen at the archway (a very long distance, mind you, from his office). I really was quite concerned on seeing him there, the gayest of the gay, and called next morning at the office to see if he was up and well after the violent exercise. I afterwards heard that he had been driven up in Mr Maxwell’s baker’s cart, but had walked home, the road being down bill all the way. Ebenezer intends placing folding doors in the side of his back store similar in size and construction to those loading into his yard, some time before the Provincial Council election. The principal articles in the said store at present are cases containing proxies ! The district is progressing. Messrs iJosketh and Bichmond, solicitors, want the education tax paid forthwith j Samuels and Jacohsohn want their accounts paid ; Mr Whittaker will make bricks do anything that, bricks can be made to do. The ink in the quill is dry : the same may be said of its spluttering#. Toaoct Don.
