CHEVIOT ESTATE.

TO THE EDITOR. Sib,— ln your issue of Monday you say the authors ot the resolution condemning the selling of any part of tba Cheviot estate should point out a means by which to avoid doing so. 1 again beg to auggest that no land should ha but that pot-jp be issued without inteuraci* that is, pay them for work done in connection with the estate, aaaeiag them payabib tn demand in gold, -at the Ikhit OSisi Savim-a Bank.

WINE: ITS USE AND ABUSE,. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—la it not surprising that „ the Jewish Rabbi should use his high position to issue a pamphlet for tho express purpose of bolstering up the vile drink traffic ? It would redound more to hia credit to efcop the trade rather than to help the drunkard on his downward career. Scriptural texts are freely quoted, but it must hs remembered who is ito quote Scripture for hia own purposes.—l am, &c., A PROTEST.
