.'■■;■'. t ■. ", . TO THE EDITOR. '■' • 2 l Riß,— The latest champion of -ths : Knap> dale Singing jOlass has not added^jlaurels to a' ciV-inrr'-flaHßepand is simply following sujjb by endeavoring to blind the eyes of the "piitF-. lie by a. sham offer of a reward, well knowing that unl'efss there is a Carey in the class it .will not be claimed.

To think that he hear? words A. truth so seldom that when by accident a few are brought . home to him, he is so much astonished' as to be compelled to have recourse to the language of Billingsgate in- order' to ;giv.e vent to his feelings ! But what compels him to use r such language .1 cannot understand unless the " Master's " words apply to him— "Men do not gather grapes from thorns." I' have had my Bay, Mr Editor, and am in future dunib 'oh' 'this'subject/but still iremain a .■ !; . '.;/ ?/; i LOOKEE-ON. Gore, Nov. 27. - . • .
