DEAR Snt.—In my last letter, publisl]ed in your issue of Feb. 1959, I notice that by a mistake (quite possibly my own) the word. "fires" appears instead of "flies." Tho rot- ation was "In faith my lord I wouid go pistol flies, the sport would be more noble," which exactly expresses my sentiment in regard to engaging in a war of words with your correspondent.Tbe game is too small to furnish even amnsoment. I do not ad- mire the faculty for putting words together so as to represent nothing "92 the heavens above Or in the earth beneath or in the waters under the earth," a faculty whieh correspondent above alluded to, possesses in a higher degree than any other person— man, woman' or child—with whom I am acquainted. Seeing, therefore, that the quotation iso printed, was unmeaning you would confer a favor. and make the nacos-. nary correction by inserting tee above. Yours truly, • Owen Sound, Mar. 10th, 1886. W.
