Gillies, Presbyterian minister this eveaiug: — "Sir,— I sent you a note asking yeu to send a reporter to give a local on Mr John Hcid's fuueral. You have treated my request with silent contempt. You can fill your dirty paper with notes of vile prostitutes, j-ckeys. gnmbleta, idle erieketers, and lazy loons of scullers; but you have no moral taste for appreciating such a man as John Eeid. Hitherto I have given nearly all our advertising to the Star, but henceforth I will transfer our adve« lining to some other paper."
