A correspondent to the Brillion
News criticised quite severely the con-
duct of some of the audience at the
last literary meeting at Wayside
While we regret the basis on which
the criticism stands, We cannot but
consider the communication as an ex-
aggeration of the actual truth, and
moreover, doubt the ACCESSIBILITY of
seeking to elevate the moral tone of
society by cynical remarks in the 10
cal press.

amusement and we never had and have
not now any intention of crlticising those

card playing ought not to be given the
preference by anybody who is already a
member of Literary Society.
As fer the Tribune correspondents re-
marks, they are striking contrast to the
moderate and fair tone of "P. D." They
are just so much chat and only show the
mental calibre OF the young fellow that
wrote them. He would do we'll to choose
his associates with nicer discrimination
than he now lays claim to.
