IN THE local column of last Monday
GAZETTE passage Of Scripture was quoted
in the item describing the religious pro-
ceedngs in this city on the previous day.
The part Published was that portion Of the
prophecy of Isaiah which Christ read i'll the
synagogue at Nazareth. The Richmond
Wing makes Il great TODD about it. thinks it
remarkable That the GAZETTE should adopt
the languagc Of the prophet, which it
terms saying Of the Saviour, not ncrceiy-
ing that Hc quoted it, and ''prophesics"
that our local reporter will be shipped" if
he publishes in his column again that which
DIVORCES from the tone Of the editorial de-
partlnent. We have no idea Of getting Il
new local editor, but will gently impress
upon the present one that, until things get
more settled in this State, he be particular
how he casts pearls promisculously in the
