HOGS VERSUS HORSES.
{To the (Editor A r Sib, — In a conversation with ?ou tome time ago, I called your attention to tbe perils that beset^ wayfarers from. tLe custom of permitting" the "gentlemen' that *psy the rent" to cruise about Her -Majesty's highway at their own sweet wills, „ Th« .recent accident at O'Brien's Gorge is an excellent commentary' oh the text I then fttrnishedyou— a commentary costing the sufferer ; thp loss of something like £150 and a dislocated shoulder. Not being a JeW,' I have no -antipathy to porkers; in' fact', in "their proper' placeroasted with apple sauce— l am quite ready to admit theii" claims to being a, toothsome and valuable quadruped. But I contend that whether driven .or straying, the .highroad v not a place for ' them, meW especially a» horses appear to have a natural dread for the pachydermata. -Worst of all, ever since the time of the GadareneJrwihe,. *pdrker» appear to have -an inclination to, steep -places, just where their presence 'is* most dangerous. Initiate a crusade, and you may rely' on one faithful follower in — Yours truly, < . . YA : 'U. sc?H.
