BILL’S MATE’S LETTER.

TO THE EEITOR. Sir,-— Allow me to answer to Bill’s Mate’s letter, m which he makes himself very conspicuous about the concert in a certain school. If Bill and his mate were to mind their own affairs it would be more to their credit, but they are very fond of poking their noses into other people’s affairs. Bill and his mate were not “had,” as neither of them attended the said concert, neither did they subscribe towards the concert. I can inform Mr Bill that the piano, or hurdy-gurdy as he chooses to call it, is the properly of the presbiters. Bill’s mate is in a fog when he says that it was paid lor with the proceeds of the said concert. Not a single farthing of the proceeds of the concert went to pay for the hurdy-gnrdy. Perhaps he measures his neighbor’s corn by his own bushel. Neither Bill nor his mate give a helping hand towards aay social gathering that is for the good of the district, but they are in the habit of criticising those who give a helping hand. In conclusion, I beg to inform Bill and I his mate that if they atttend, D.Y., at the said school on Sunday, 22nd inst., they can hoar a tone out of the new hurdy-gurdy free of charge, although they did not subscribe towards it.—l am, etc., Artisan.
