" While there is life there is hope." Such.is the proverb, and we do trust that the next daily. bulletin. issued from the Globe office will bear unmistakable evidence of a charge for the better, in the state of the "ex QOnontio." Should it not be so, we understand that a straight jacket, is to be put on him ; and in case of this well-known remedy fail- ing, he will be removed to a roomspecially set |. apart for him in the new asylum which is to be evected in Ham lion, and Doctor Ryerson jis to be his medical a t2ndent.--Specta'or Correspondence, PLP PAO ADA To the Editor of the Herald. Sir,--In your issue of three or four weeks ago some evil-disposed person very assiduously at- tempted to stir up enmity among the different religious denominations of Mornington, by de- preciating the general merits of one party, while concerning the other he was silent, which is evidently his modest way of contrasting. His first letter was replied to in becoming terms, but the same issue that contained that reply con- tained also a second letter of your seditious ¢on- tributor, which, though neither so abusive as its predecessor, nor containing such a chain of falsehoods, yet it contained one mistatement, which requires to be corrected, namely, that the proceeds of the Concert of which your readers have heard so much, were, by the Rev. Mr. Beattie's interdict, rejected and not applied to the use for which they were ostensibly obtained. Hoping that the respondent to your contributor's first would proceed to the completion of the work of which he made a valorous beginning, I have detained till now what your readers should have had some weeks ago. I have no desire to become a sectarian champion, but justice calls for a refutation of such a damaging falsehood, Now allow me to inform Mr, F. (for so he dubbs himself,) that the money has been received and appropriated without scruple by the Church authorities, as originally intended ; and that too by men of as high moral standing as himself. The fighting he referred to was the result of a uarrel between a few drunken men who came othe tavern demanding liquor, .and being re- tused chose to wreak their vengeance on the Inn- keeper by quarrelling among themselves ; the affair had therefore no connection with the Con- cert. " Facts are stubborn things," so says Mr. F. in his second epistle to the Morningtonians.. It . would be difficult for anyone of ordinary observ- ing powers to see what claim he can have on the use of such an assertion, judging by the cautious distance he maintains between him and them ; for he has scarcely been known to be within hailing distance of a fact since embarking in the undertaking of correcting our morals. Facts such as he records are known by another name among us--falsehoods! I wonder where he gets his ' facts"--perhaps at the fact-ory, whose head-quarters is at one of the commercial marts of Mornington, and whose president is a certain conspicuous individual among the " Sistern'"'; or perhaps he patronizes the ' Sewing-circle," an inexhaustible fountain of fact. Hither solu- tion is probable. When I undertook the writing of these letters I imagined I was in pursuit of nobler game; but "now tomy chagrin I discover, that instead' of chasing on a lion's trail I have been on that of a ~\ badger. I shall' therefore avoid closer proxim- lity, nor pursue him farther, for reasons obvious »\to everyone acquainted with the nature and pro- perties of that odoriferous animal. FAIR PLAY. Conmmerctal.
