A PITY TO SPOIL IT.
» NOT A PINT, BUT A PIPE. (Br Telejrrauh.—SDecia! Correspondent.) Christchurch, October 17. One of tho best things of its kind on record appears in the "Lyttclton Times" this morning, in tlio following letter from Canon C. W. Carrington, a well-known ami iwpular local clergyman:— "Sir,—ln representing somo words of mine at tho Anglican Synod, your reporter has conjured uj> a beautiful picture of brotherly conviviality. 'Individual churchmen could make friends, and talk to them over a pint.' I have hardly llio heart to spoil this charming vision of amity, but tho fear of the Prohibitionists is upon me. What I said was, not 'over a pint,' but 'over a pipe.' With regret I ask you to accept this correction."
