LETTERS IN BRIEF.
Rope'a End" write* commenting strongiv on the unmanly conduct, of a number of young men in throwing stone 3 on the roof of «n oM woman's cotta-ge. The offenders were fined 5s each by the Magistrate, and "Rope's End" suggests that the sentence was too lenient. A few strokes of the birch would, he considers, have had a more salutary effect. "Truth" writes drawing attention to a book recently published, from the pen of Lord Penzance, in which tlie Baconian authorship of the plays of Shakespear* is championed by the learned Judge. We regret that we cannot, however, publish hi* letter in full, ac .pressure of space prevents us from re-opening our columns at present to the* Bacon-Shakeapear-ts controversy. H. K. Gibson hopes that the attention- of the postal authorities will drawn to hia complaint that tlhere is a lack of mucilago on tlie buck of the postage stamps.
