Borough’s Protest.

[to the kditob,] " Borough ” doth proUst foo much, I freftly admit that ths subj-ct has a mournful and meUnaholy aspect which ever way we look at it, and the depreciation of property through opening up the other side is very painful to contemplate. Then whan we consider (according to Borough) tha things which we have done, and the things we have hft undone, I feel sad and sorrowful, But, nr, herein lies ihe difference between Borough and myself. He bewails the foolish generosity of the Town Council, while I grieve over the want nf it for this special occasion. But wbat outs mo up worse than all, 18 the fact that I presumed to question the legal opinion, I sincerely hope the '* rtlßatione ” will have no serious rffucts. Really '* B nough ” I don't think tboy will. And now, than, who o! the agitators want to sue Nelson Bros. ? Not me, sir; I merely asked tha Council to repair the damage. lam not aware if it is decided who caused or is likely to be responeib e for tha M big strike.” Une would imagine from the querulous tone of Borough's letter that a plurality of persons had a hand in the protest. “Wo ” have dune this, and “We ” have done that, aud we don't mean to do anything el&e. Well, we shall see. I predict that we ehall put the bridge in prop-r repair, and thun we tlull be satisfied.—•! am t etc., W. L. Fils.
