THAT GUTTER.
[We do, not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions of correspondents. [To the Editor.] Sir, —I see by last night's issue a letter written by an individual who is evidently afraid to sign his proper name, drawing the attention of the public to a gutter which runs past my premises. Now, Sir, why does that person say that the refuse comes from Love's farm when anyone at a glance can see thai no drain runs from the farm into the gutter referred to ? What good does he expect to do by trying to do harm to my business under the cloak of public interest ? He is evidently ashamed of himself and is seeking to stab a man in the dark or else he would sign his proper name. I might here inform him that the inspector of Nuisances inspected my premises only yesterday morning and remarked that they could not be kept in a more satisfactory state, so if the individual thinks he can trace the aause of fever to she gutter referred to I am afraid ii will be necessary for him to see to his own premises, by which he would be doing more goodl to himself and other people.—l am Ac., Joseph Pickling.
