Natural Enemies.

To the Editor of the K t'"id,i>d Sib,—ln the Siasdabd . loth September, yon kindly published a portion of tny letter that I sent to the Times on the 7th July, at the aame time time that the Hon Mr Beeves’ motion, and Mr Beetham g linestion was before the two Homes. My reason for writing to the Times was caused by several stating that the Ministers and members seldom read the ooontry papers. Having been a subscriber to the Times over fifteen years I sent the letter to that paper so as to have it published at ooee. If the editor thought the latter not worth pnblishiog, bow has it gained in merit eo as to be published later on. I wrote to the Times in 1870 about the blight, but the letter was not published, it being ol interest to the country readers only. I wrote to the Editor of the Yeoman in the Australasian The reply was, •• Not known." If the Government does not intend assisting tie runholden to introduce the vermin, they •hj 'Uld etop their farther introduction. As only one person has iatrodneed the stoat and we-.se! into the Wairarapa, I hope the bles•inge el the settlers will fall upon his selfish head, and the honor of being known as •tost and weasel Biddiford. If the Bibbit Act was honestly administered and no favor thown to the large ruuholders, the tahbit pest would soon cease to exist. 1 am, dee., H. fi. JiCxaoß, Stooeetead, September 4
