"Dying Like a Dog."

[To the Editor W, D, Times.] Sir,—" Ob I would that I wore a dog " a knowing old bachelor dog remarked to mo tho other day, so as to bo certain that whon ray turn does como, I may meet with tbo same kindness and attention as "Thatman Tail" has received from Mrs Gunthor and ber Eorvanta, not forgetting the cook, who kept his spirits up by other means than by lifting his elbow to give the prescribed doses to thepatient, then calling in all tbo doctors in Masterton including 11 J, Chris. Harrison, M.D., U.5.A..," the hero of the day. 'fait had no lesa than three doctors before the Benevolent Society took him in hand as recommended by the police, Such a vile fuss about doctors, yet the man Tftit does not believe in them as be stated to the representative of the Star" that tho first dose of a dootor'a medicine nude him worse 00 that bo would not tako any more." Tho man Tait know better than the doctor, and lo! another doctor (provided by tho Benevolont Society and prescriptions paid for us well) attend the knowing Tait, Tbo said medical men knows what is tho matter with Tait, who appears to have mado ap his mind to cry himself.to de-th; verdict:" Died of a chiclton'a heart; a new complaint," This case, and also previous caseß, require investigation, so says the Star, as to why such cases should be shelved on to the hoardinghouse-lteepers, thus malting a great additional cost to tbo Benevolent Society, i.e. the of which I am one, Tho Benevolent Trustees havo often stated, "That they would be only too glad to pay for the maintenance of such cases at tbo Hospital." The above-mentioned old dog, still alive, said with a knowing wink, "But tho Benevolent patients and destitute persons might loaf at the Hospital," winked the other eye at the same time answering his own query thus; "Not much, loaf, don't you believe it,with Williams' eye on them all dayand overy day,with tbeoldHospital doctor to " bless" them and make them sit up and show their true colourB; trust H—g for that. How did the man Tait manage to get into tho Qreytown Hospital, and how do the same class of people get into all other Hospitals all over tho Colony ? Cracli that nut, Mr Editor! lam writing in a light vim after the heavy sensational of the magnifying Star.—l am, etc..

LaGBII'FE, [This letter should have been addressed to our local contemporary. We publish it, however, because wo have not an atom of sympathy for the Wiliiams family and this Tait, persons about whom so much silly nonsenco lias been written,—JJd, WJWRJ
