Sure, wan moight expect that the ;*''' mm wud take a little less in place 6T ax- . in' a poor beggar a shillun. Is it bekase the gintlemin who boss the cabs want to kape thim silect ? Its me own opinybn the cabs wud be betther pathrynised vr-** the " squaize " was not made—be Jakeneys, many's the time Ire walked-. ,- from Paddy Wy and Tarryruh sooner nor pay the black mail. Anuther thing I'd loike to know, whin is the County goin' to make a shtart to mind the road betwiksht Pyroh an' Wyhee. I hear. tell that Mishter Douglas, the dbroiverhes ajooee ay a job to get themales acrass the Wyhee, shtrame, an" people say that the County will jusht let the winther come ron afore the wurruk is comminoed.* I wondher is it thrue that the coachdriver had to mind a part ay the road acrass a sthrame I believe to get the males over. Another thing I want ye to | enloighten me upon. Why in the name of all the powers did the Engineer make .1 sich a narra way across the Cowmatter swamp, so that ay the coach chances to . go the lashte tashte off a* the sinthur a* the road, 'tis tin to wan if the whole caboose doant go hales ovur hed, intu the shwamp. Anuther matther I'd wish ye to tell. me. Who the divil made the bridges an the approaches to thim betune Pyroh an Te Aroa P Bt gorra Misther Bradley wud like to have the teachin of the illoominatedingineer that did sich won- [ dhers on the roads, or was it the boss ay the mm that wurruked an the road P f Who was to blame? Sure I hope I'm not throublin' ye too much, but kud ye tell . me, sacratly loike, ay the Burrah intind to fill in the laygoone. forenint Mary Strate. The Insbpector ay Nuisances . shud take a quite walk in the cool arthe • evenin' jusht along Kwane shtrate, an' by the hokie, wan shniff ay the balmy braze wud sind him hoime continled for the thoime. I'll say no more jusht at prisint, but ay I get any more quesbthons to ax no doubt yell be plazed to affoord the information.-—Yours obadient, .. Phklim.
