THAT SHOOTING MATCH.
e Editor of the New Era :
EPTTOR,—In regard to a few etate-
(nada by your correspondent of last
found in the Benreiller news, 0O -
the shooting match between the
d and the 2nd cons. He stated
ears there has been jealousy be -
two coneessioes, and that
abont,0 ce a year they break out agains
each ether, sometimes one being victorious,
another time suffering defeat. This., how-
ever, is not altogether a correct statement,
Lor thitre has only been. two contests, one
two years ago, on Thanksgiving, and this
ear, the Thursday previous ts Thanks -

;Your ccrrespondent also makes another
statement, that those who brought in the
least points, he will not Bay the losers,
footed the bill and the winners intuit have
been too mach absorbed in making the
oysters disappear to appreciate them for
not a responsible laugh could be beard.
The reason for this is that they were so
badly beaten that they couldn't take a
joke; probably the true solution might be
in two words—troubhd conscience. It is
evident that your correspondent was not
at the feast or he would have known on
which side the troubled conecience lay for
if the second oonoession were not the losers
they were very liberal in footing the bill
without saying a word. Probably they
thought that Borne of their woodpeckers
heads commands as much respeot se some
of the tails that lay in the heap of 12,550.
I Ile ale° makes another statement that
there is unmistakable evidence of strong,
very strong, reinforcement from other
quartere, which is another violation of the
truth, for it can be proved that there was
no help for the Maitland team from other
quarters. The paragraph in your leet is -
true would show to the public that the

Slavin, were unloading straw in the
barn on the farm of the former, when
Mr Slavin, sr., who was in the act of
pitcuing stiaw to his son, who was in
the mow, suddenly exclaimed "Oh
my," and fell over on the load and ex-
pired. His son came to his assistance,
but his life had fled. He was aged 70
years. Heart dieease was the cause of
death. He leaves a widow, two sons
and four daughters to mourn his very
sudden demise. He was a highly es-
teemed resident of the township. The
