THE ADVANCE. ./. 11 Faivcett. Editor. FLESHEBTOH : THUB8DAY. JAN. 17, 1HH4. The utterances of the 1'mnlalk Herald in "defence" of i's Flughi-r- ton correspondent, r iiuinU us Bo forcibly of the garrulity of an oM woman in her dotage, that we do not feel called upon to make- any reply. WHAT IS We will allow our corresponded t3, "B" and "Beta" one letter more each on this subject should they desire it and there the discussion must end. The matter lias bovti suf' ; Cameron, S. Stokes, A. 8. Vandusen, ri and the one who called upon us are being satisfied, appealed, if we reeol "identical," or not, remains to be lect aright, and the next time the jury seen. However it does not matter brought in a verdict of 82000 damages much except that it might convey against him. He tlien gracefully the impression that we were unwilling made his exit from Thortibury and to allow our columns to be used for was next heard of at Itochester, N . V . , the discussion of public questions* where he was subsequently married when tlir opposite is the case. That to a very estimable young lady, is all. We might say, in reference to the Ytilley Road, that it would be absurd for this township to run its part of the mad, if Kuphrasia did not perform its chare of the work as well. } 0, trmpora, marts.
