Who will be the next victim to matrimony. Peter. Editor Standard Dear Sir, â€" Allow me to make a few remarks m regard to citizen's attack on our correspondent, and the latter's very commendable silence in regard to the matter. It is evident that citi- zen must have been charged pretty heayy to make -such a loud report. His attack shows a very spleeny and contracted intellect, one who. being unable to contribute news himsell, would try to hinder others from doing 50, and just such people as citizen complain that there is not more news in the local paper, when as you know, Mr, Editor, our local papers have to depend to some extent on their corre- spondents for news, but citizen seems to be too thin-skinned to stand any news from home. I think if citizen would take his little borrowed verse to heart himself he would not see so many glaring defects in others. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for your apace, I am, Yours respectfully, J. I. 0. KocElyn. Standard Correspondence.
