A NEWSPAPER QUARREL.
The Bruce Herald and Tuapelca Times are at it again. This time the quarrel is occasioned by the proprietor of the first-men-tioned journal contributing to his own paper under the nom deplume of “Paul Pry,” a letter which endeavors, rather impertinently we think, to interference with the business arrangements of the Times and other papers. As indicating the style of language indulged in by the combatants, we select two passages from the reply of the Tuapelca Times: -As “ Paul Pry ’ refers to the telegrams in our supplement, we leave it to our readers to say whether it is not more creditable to pay for them than steal them wholesale, as our contemporary does. . . . There is one thing which we would draw attention to, and that is that articles which appear in the Tuapeka Times are couched in intelligible language, and that its columns are free from those halfcolumn word jumbles which, because they commence with a capital letter and end with a “fullpoint,” are dignified with the name of sentences, in which the literary agonies of the editor of the Bruce Herald are transferred to it readers.
