An item last week appears 10 have
done injustice, though we do not think
Intentionally TO the subject of the fol-
lowing communication, therefore we
are happy to give space for a corrcc-
ton:
Mr.. EDITOR:-In your last weeks
issue of the Register, in Whiting items is
a notice of Jonas " ats losing n horse,
saying hat he had lost ca another
horse, that he trusted a little boy to hitch
it, and says, "was it, or-or, well, what
was it," etc. 1t seems that your cores
pendent vas not in a very charitable
mood, perhaps fogetting that Mr..
Watts had a good reason for trusting
his horse to the care of his little bov:
perhaps he has forgotten also, that Mr..
