Mr Hoggdid poll, wo believe, 1079 votes, so that our forecaste was not altogether deceptive. Not content with thissupremo exhibition of ignorance our contemporary next stigmatiaca our BWaggor correspondent aR a miserable deceiver, and wants us to provo him to be genuine, The challenge is silly, but wo will accept it.

If our contemporary will provide the boots and a pound each for their trouble in coming into Mafltorton we will undertake to produce them and to proye to any respectable referees that they are "genuine swaggers." Of course, if wo tail to do this we will ourselves pay for the bootß and for the trouble.
