CORRESPONDENCE
(To the Editor of the Mount Ida Chbonicis.) " Marry, sir, they hare committed fake report ; moreovar, they have spoken untruths." —Shakespeabe. Sib, —Who are,the,three men that waited as a deputation wo. the Secretary for Land and Works, and stopped the sale of our township? No such deputation' ever went from here"; moreover, the names of those men who (it is reported here)>formed the deputation, are men in whom the people never had any confidence, and who would be the last individuals known to >he residents who would be entrusted with any business of the kind. In fret, it would be something like making the wolf a shepherd to the sheep Bless me, sir, how we ha,ve been gulled, hoodwinked],and made very asses of! JBut that sort of thing is at an enil, and we are a little more awake, and quite " fly " to all specious arguments that may be used in the future, oy all wolves in sheep's clothing.
Air. iVlacKellar, Gtoldfields Secretary,' was here to-day* and I believe had a long interview with the Progress Committee. I have no doubt " your own," if you have an " own," hure, will-send you a full report.—l am, &c, •'"•''"■■". Pbogbess. Hyde; August 15,1874.
