OMITTED.—We have received a let- th ter for publication that was originally pr intended for the Wingham Advance, th but which that paper declined to pub- M lish, although it was a courteous reply R to one a earingg in its columns from w J. H. McConnell. We do not see that M anything will be gained by its inser- Oh tion here. People here know nothing of the circumstances, and would not . be enlightened by the publication of the letter. In our opinion McConnell has been given a great deal more space in the columns of our, northern totems than was warranted, because the dis- cussion, as is invariably the case, de- scends to one of personalities, and he has said things in his letters that would have been better unsaid, and some of which were not matters of public con- cern, ODDFELLOWB.—Last Tuesday was a big day for the I. 0. of Oddfellows in Clinton, the occasion being a fraternal visit from the Degree team of Huron lodge of Goderich.
