Calling a Halt.
Wc are in receipt of another communi

Mr. .1. A. Cook's last letter on the public
road question. Hut as our readers have
already had a surfeit of "good things"
from these gentlemen, ami it is time to
calla halt, wc must declino to publish
any further communications in this con
Iroversy. We do so thc inore readily
since each side has luid an ecpial showing
in number of insertions, the innings are
even, and thc public is fully informed ?is
to thc views ol each gentleman. lt has
been evident dial thc latter communica
tions were degenerating into personali
ties and the waiters were drifting ??way
I from the question at issue to indulge in
thc calling ol' "pr?tly mimes." Their
j racy writings have, however, afforded
rare entertainment for our readers, but
honors ?ire now even, and we hope our
friends will consider it a "drawn Lat tie,*"
and each console himself with thc reduc
tion thal "he who lights and runs away
will live to light some oilier day," whe
