 In writing to the NEWS, do not wish to encroach upon the ground of your regular cor respondent, but this being large town, and at times a somewhat wicked town, filled with divers unrighteousness, it is possible that two reporters may not any more than give all the news, and then it is probable that l shall send you great many things that the other chap not being born idiot would never think of A short time ago great many things oc- cured here, that from their extreme sinful ness were matters to give sincere satisfaction to all reporters, but at that time was so busy trying to keep out of mischief myself, that l had no time to tell of the deeds of others, but trust that something more will happen shortly, that for iniquity will out-do all former occurrences, for it would not do for the town to 20 back on her record To show the sat- isfaction that newspaper correspondents feel in "deeds that are dark" we will instance letter which recently appeared in the Enquir or, in which the writer vents it's enthusiasm by hurrahing for Cornwall, giving as reason for this superauous patriotism, the record of this place in the recent election. Well, we should be thankful for all things. It was not so bad but that it might have been worse. might have done as majority of the men did-sold n,y vote, but that I unfortunately voted early in the morning, before it was known that votes were to sell at fifteen dol lars each, which was the price at which both parties repeatedly bought men-and that without any attempt at concealment. But enough of this. What we really need now is real first.class murder; one in which the victim is really slaughtered. We have had so many abortiye attempts lately in which the victims have only been wounded and crip- pied, that it is getting monotonous. Until such an event occurs, we shall wait inpatient ly for "sump'n to happen" We can safely promise something thrilling next week. K. North Cornwall.
