CORRESPONDENCE.

That Little Paragraph, [To The Editor IV. D.Timks.] Sir,—As the modesty of tho Editor of the Wairarapa Skr prevented the publication of the following letter, and as his little paragraph hardly docs full justice to the case, I shall feel obliged if you will insert it—l am etc., A. HiTIUWiY, ■• _, [con - .] I " (To the Editor, Mar) Sib,—l do not know if" Editor" and " reporter" aro synonymous terms on the sta£E of tho Wairarapa afar, but to prevent mistakes I will mention—for the benefit o£ your rcadcrs-that Mr Arthur Vile, who it appears was newsgathering for the Star on that. particular morning, came into the Town Clerk's office, I think in company with the reporter for tho Daily Tim. "While thcro they botii heard me ask the Town Clerk (whocrosscsWriglcy's Creek every morning on his way to the office) whether he had heard anything about a girl falling into the said creek, on her way to school that morning. Mr Brown replied in the negative. Neither of the reporters present took any notes of tho remarks, as is their custom, when they hear of anything they think worth reporting. Had they done so on this occasion, or had I imagined that either of them would have been so Mifelligsni as to publish without enquiry, ns a Mauy. thing that originated in a vague rumour, I should have suggested to them that it required corroboration, Had Mr Vile used the same caution that his confrere is so justly famed for, kowouldnothave laid himself open (o tho pointed remarks on the subject, that appeared in the columns of your contemporary, which is tho real tiling that is troubling Mr A. Vile.—l am, etc., A, Hatha to
