Tive of the province.

Whatever the reason that actuates our contemporary we feel bound to say that the conduct of those whose object he is there to serve is to say the least most a gentlemanly and coming from such most uncalled for and ungrateful.-. It is just possible that the scrupulous discharge of duty by an honorable opponent May be better appreciated in cer Tain quarters than the meddling officious Ness of partisans who Aro continually Pok ing their noses into matters that they have not the remotest connection with and ten Dering advice when it is neither required nor sought.
