OUR CHOICEST OF MEN.
[To xhk Editoi:.] Sir,—l will thank you for inserting these few lines in your paper concerning our Ranger, who I am sun,' everyone will agree with me is a thoroughly conscientious and trustworthy man. In the first place, I must say it is very mysterious how cattle can be locked up safely in a paddock where there is plenty of feed at night and be found in the pound next morning with the gates of the paddock still secured. Secondly.—The Ranger has been round to several owners of cattle to my knowledge, and has told them that they would be acting quite safely in putting their stock on the road from 0 p.m. to G a.m., because he never impounds between those hours ; hut it is very peculiar how he can be driving cattle at 2 a.m. and be peacefully dreaming in bed at the same time, as in several cases he has been known to do.
Lastly.—He has been paid poundage fees from several people and given them to understand that they would not be summoned, but it has turned out that they have received the blue paper just the same. I certainly think that the Council might do a great deal worse than dispense with the services of the present Ranger, and obtain one that, at least, has a little idea of manliness. I am. itc., lIUNOURAM.K.
