ANONYMOUS LETTEHS. A movuiiriit is on foot in some quarters to suppress the anonymous letter writer, uml the London Adver- tiser was one of the first to point out ll:r error of allowing anonymous writ- 13 air tin ir views through tho puss. and was also one of the first to put its piocepts iiilo practice. The Advertiser says that "there ii really nothing to be said in fa /or of editor?. printing anonymous letters, while there is much to be said against." The position is the correct ouc. Koine of the many arguments that many be tfhe lagair.ft the custom arc, the oppor- tinii'.y opened for the literal'} assassin to still) an tunny in the dark, when, if his proper name were attached to the article, his darts would fall harm- legs ; the privilege of advocating views and | roinul^atini; slanders which he is ashauii il to father, and to a certain lunount of which the editor must hear the odium ; in sotr.o casts such lettcis carry with them a force to wliicb they arc not entitled, in othc-fF, they do not exert the force to which they arc rntitliil, and in any cane it is impossi- I ! to place the correct value upon anon) mi mi letters. The custom i- .1 iild be done awny with, and news- I HUTS cannot any too soon combine in ernuli the anonymous corretipond- hi. In France he is not known, and i MII thf filitoriul ai'lieks die si','iird by tho writers. Souic of the bi^ New \uik dailies have also adopted tho (linciple. What dors the wisdom of tin Clarksburg Reflector Ray to the institution of such a reform ? Tho remains of Sir John Thompson wur pluri d in tluirlast resting place at Ihlifax on Thursday last. A very lirgu concourse of people paid their U'Cpucts to the dead premier, politics und prejudiced being forgotten in tho 'i 1 to do honcr to the dt ceased The Elections. Although there wait an election in only two wauls of this township on Monday, HI ill tho interest taken in thetic wag creat- or than ha* Iwen for mine years, and the vote wan out in almost itH full strength.
