"IY UNCLE." (To the Editor.) Sin.—Could you kindly spare me ■ space in your papeffor a few remark*, re the so-called practical joke -played on me last Friday night, but which 1 fail to see the fun of, and therefore do not appreciate it, more especially as it entails a; considerable.'financial loss to mo, independent of the loss of time or trouble. I am unable,-to girderstand how such a thing couidbe done in tho main street, under the very .noses of our (for the size of the town) largo and efficient police fot<ce; not t speak of our energetic and indefatigable night-watohman, Had my sign been returned to roe undumaged, or oven placed where it might have been easily found, I should have waived the point of the trouble caused, and been inclined to view the whole affair as a' lark,' but as it is, I am likely to lose money as long ns it is down, fis.it was hung; notse much for the benefit of the inhabitants of the town and surrounding districts, as for. the floating population; .many; of?, whom, being unable to read, have nothing whatever to let them know what oliiss of business is carried'. on in my premises, though perliajis on the lookout for suoh a place. Testing that I have not trespassed.[t&o-i'mnch- on your valuable space','

I sin, etc, i. Wm, Shaw.
