Ecclesfield, Jan. 21. 1850.
_Derivation(?) of "Snob" and "Cad."_--I am informed by my son, who goeth
to a Latin school, that _Snob_ (which is a word he often useth) cometh
of two Latin words; to wit, "_sine obolo_"--as who should say, "one that
hath not a cross to bless himself." He saith, that the man behind the
omnibus is called "_Cad_," "_a non cadendo_." Your humble servant,
