[ ApvEimamiKNT. ] LOVE MB, LOVE MY DOG (FOG). TO THIS EDITOR NEW ZEALAND TIMES, DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE. Sir,—l have just lately invested in a copy of the coming‘Noxious Weeds Act.' I tind it proposed by our Liberal rulers to exterminate soft meadow grass. It Is named iu tbo Act ‘Yorkshire Fog, 1 I cannot exactly say just on the spur of the moment whether I am myself most Conservative or most Liberal. Were it a question simply of administering chastisement to those deserving, and had I the power, I should be liberal of the Liberate moat liberal. On oth»>r questions, again, I am conservative of the Con«erva tives.

That the wealth of Eng* laud would nob ouffico for the extermination now of ■ Yorkshire Fog* from New Zealand. That wero such to be attempted, after years of toil and vast ©xpendituie tboro would still be found on hill and dale, or wherever grass is growing, myriads of * Yorkshire Fog,’ oaoh with a trivialis to its r.ose.

Only let the [first aoro of ‘Yorkshire Fog' be exter* minuted. Tnen, driven to bay in rear a vast, unexplored hideous abyss—in front a vast of 1 Yoikshire fog* exterminating i Liberals—then, and not till then, and 1 then yet, and still, ‘more in sorrow than anger,"' will it become my manifest duty to begin to rub up my Conservative ‘shooting irons,’ and when the Liberals, with a rush headed by Hogg, Soddoo, Qobkins and McKenzie, make thoir EN masse bntres on the other tide, when asked * Why all this hasty pell-mell appearance ?’ I Wo were wiped out !’ I am, &0., Tsos.
