[We <lo not hold ourselves responsible for opinions expressed by correspondents.] THE SEVENTH AGE : Last scene * * * Is second childsihness and mere oblivion. "A* You Like IV [To the Editor of the Herald.] Sir, — Cannot some means be devised to suppress that fussy and garrulous old party who is now to be found at every meeting whether of a social or p6litical character. His loquacity last evening in Mr. Macfarlane's Hall was a source of annoyance to not only those in proximity, but to the speakers 5 and notwithstanding the well-deserved rebuke administered both by chairman and speaker, the ancient gent evidently was not to be *' sat " upon, for his incessant chatter was audible throughout. No doubt he will be present at the meeting to be held to-night, and I would suggest as he is a candidate for distinction, that he be hoisted shoulder-high and disposed of in the same manner as was the fat knight in the* " Merry Wives of Winsor." Surely he must have entered the Seventh Age, as his remarks were evidently intended for the approbation pf of a form of small boys, one of who was Wil(Vs)son. — I am, &c, Decency.
