St Patrick's College is not accustomed to recruit its scholars from suolt .sources and is not likely to receive or entertain the 'application referred to. The "Star" considered it honourable not to give the name of the delinquent in question, and might, with equal and commendable good taste, have omitted in its letler-pvess the name of the school mentioned Itv the bov's mother.-—! am.eic., C.
