..SorHING IF Nor CRITICAL AND Nor Mucn
EVEN THEs.-The Progress of last week is
very sarcastic upon the Independent candidates
who il their notice wrote Mrs. for Messrs. We
noticed the word ourselves, but thought the dis
appointed aspirants only meant to call their sue
eessful rival old woman. If it was mistake
in spelling, however, the Progress need not make
sach to do about it, as on the editorial English
page of itslsst number We can point out dozen
still more glaring faults in composition, grammar
and crthography, which were perhaps typo
graphical errors, as the misspelled word in the
notice referred to might have been an oversight
of the writer, or he might have supposed that
Mrs was the short of Messrs. or Messieurs As
to the Independent candidate not being able to
read or write, we believe that the great majority
of the party have no advantage of him in that
respect.
