A DESERVING PUBLTC OFFICER.

To the Editor of the C ROJiWfiui, A. ecus. S’/.—Having heard that Sergeant John Cassels was about to be removed from Cromwell, and subsequently ascertained that he had taken his departure, I felt somewhat surprised tlut the Cromwell people did not present that gentleman with some mark of their approval of his conduct during a term of about eight yesrs amongst them. If ever a public oKoef deserved the thanks of the inhabitants of this district, that ollioer is Se-'geaut Oassels.
