      An article entitled "The Tormentor Unmasked ; or , How to Pay Off an Old Score , " having appeared in the 118 th number of this Journal , in which certain strictures were passed upon . Mr . W . S . Gilbert , the author of the drama An Old Score , we beg to state that these strictures were directed against him under the conviction that he had in the said drama made a gratuitous and personal attack upon the Editor of this paper , and had reflected on our connection with the Tomahawk . Mr . W . S . Gilbert having since assured us that in writing the piece we spoke of , neither ourselves , nor the Tomahawk , nor anyone connected with it , entered his mind , and that , directly or indirectly , he did not allude to us , we gladly declare that we withdraw the said strictures , with an expression of sincere regret that we should have misunderstood him .

      Of the ice exported from Norway last year out of a total of 45 , 593 tons , England took 44 , 055 . Are not our neighbours justified in talking of the frigidity of our national character ?

      Mr . Justice Smith has a very kind heart . A girl of the name of Tipper appealed to the Creator the other day , and so impressed her judge , that , although to his knowledge she had been previously convicted four times , he abstained from visiting upon her the severity of penal servitude , and dismissed her to prison for eight months—a very light sentence . In spite of this clemency , we fear that Tipper ' s eloquence resembled strongly Tupper's poetry—that is to say , it was utter rubbish .

      a living It may a short be remembered distance up th the at some river , time created ago some a vicar sensation , who holds by refusing to send up a young lady for Confirmation because she would not pledge herself to give up dancing . Those devout people who justify the atrocities and absurdities of all clergymen hubbub for " the that Church was ' s made sake , " about were no the doubt . matter very , much and deep shocked ly sympa at the - thised with the conscientious parson for the annoyance he was these put to say , and when the they snubbing hear that he this ultimatel self-sam y received e vicar . has What gone will for a holiday , and let his house to a party of Jews , who outrage the better feelings of their neighbours by playing croquet on Sunday ? Will they congratulate him on the " good let" of his house to people who are proverbially " good pay , " or condemn him to that place to which it is at once the privilege and delight of strictly religious people to send the wicked ? The question altogether seems to be one of some nicety .
