[The paper. referred,, to certainly contains nothing that might not be read before the Society— if the Society cared to hear it." In- our opinion the paper ia scarcely suitable for discussion>by.a!de^tjng aqoiety It; abounds in strong adjectiv'eis directel agaifcsfc the " hog " and hh habits, and the dancer of "eating his * cariease. It is not a pleasant subject to dwell upon or discuss in a public gathering composed of ladies and "gentlemen. The paper is from aa American source, and -very, .likely .. is." true, t Circulated in tile form of-'ff leafier i^'#o«m riot be out of place. The language is not too strong for .the subject, but evidently the subject vas Mtoo 1 strong for the Society.— Editor.]
