Messrs. Editors: —We do not think it is good manners for some of the men of our town, who are ashamed to enter Mike Halloran’s saloon by the front door, to go up the stairs in the building you occupy, as though they were going into the printing office to pay you a dollar and a half on subscription, and thereby take the first step towards a reformation, and then to blast all your fond hopes by descending the back stairs and entering the saloon from the rear,, having to pass through the bed-room attached to the rear of the saloon, in which Mike lays his victims to cool off. To repeat it, it is the bight of ill manners for any gentleman to enter the bed-room of another while he, the occupant, is lying prone and prostrate on his virtuous couch, wrapt in the arms of Morpheus (or whisky), and thereby disturb the busy fly which sis sipping nectar from the slumberer’s lipa. Why would it not be better for Mike to vacate the small bed-room already mentioned and pay the sheriff a reasonable sum -Jor the exclusive use of. the court-house- square, which is already extensively patronized in that wsy, and use that for abed-room ?
