CORRESPONDENCE.

■ ' [To ihe EOnoi] Sißj—Kindly insert tho following if it does not take up too iliacb of. the space of ypur paper. On theßth inßi, I received aft ariony; motiß letter, charging, me with' neglects ingmy,duty and riot taking any notice of travellers orders on the road, I should vpiy ifuick 'like if this gentle niiin—if he is such, which I very much doubt—who wrote this lotter to mo would sign his name to any communications he nmy wish to send me in the future, because it allows very bad taste on any writers part to stand behind' cover and slander people, without daring to come out with open face and bring forth his charges. The pnlv thing 1 can see in it is. that the writer of iliat letter in an impertinent coward Let me advise this unknown wriier of the fact that on the fourth iust, I was not only the usual eight hours on ihe road, but ten hunt's on that day, and it the anonymous writer from his liouscdoor can see me use my' dinner hour for fencing, I hope he will acknowledge that it has got nothing whatsoever to do with him, and 1 will hope that he in the future will niind his own business, Another thing I would like to tell this writer is that he Imd better to go to school agiin and learn to wi'ito a letter deceut and uot such aboiiimiible rubbish. as he has been writing to mi'. Let me also-tell him that any persons oeming along the road are not duly qualified,road oversows, If tb« writer of'thai lotter would bear these .facta and advices in mind I have hopes of his ri:ental soundness, it not' 5 1 am afraid his sine destination will bs the Lunatjo Asyhiin, If he: takes as much' trouble with other peoples affairs ..which does not concern - him, an ho does with me as roadman, whioh concerns him lees, he will have ,® lot more to do than hie abilities will, warrant it .safe for him to undertake; judging bin uientul powera by tho lotter be sent •UMr'
