THAT'BY-LXw. - -`Some' queries .have
been addressed to us relative to the action
of the members`of the Council on the
Transient Traders' By -Law. In some of
these it is alleged that we did an injustice
in stating that all the members voted . for
it, and. that some of the • Council were:ab-
sent. We have gone to the minute book
again and find that all the members were
present except Councillor Maywood, and
that every member, of the'Council voted
for the by-law. The first and second read-
ings
ead ings of the by-law were moved by Court-.
cillor Cooper, and seconded -by Councillor
Manhing, and the third reading, the final
passage of the by-law, was moved by
Reeve Macmurchie and seconded by Dep-
uty --•Reeve• Corbett.: The yeas and nays
were not called for, endue councillor dis-
sented, and, as the rule is, it was looked
•upon as carried unanimously.

ANOTHER INDUSTRY. - A representa-
tive of' this paper dropped in to see Mr W
Marten the other day, and was surprised
to find him very busily engaged in a busi-
ness which most people know nothing
whatever about. On the premises were
stored about twenty-five tons of old rags
of all sorts and descriptions.These Mr
Marten assorts into -seven different lots,
all the fine woollen ones being sorted from
the coarse,' tJe cotton placed by them-
selves, the dal: from the light, and so on.
Mr Martenis the only man in Western
Ontario who does this Work, and he usu-
ally secures whatever stock he can get in
adjoining towns . for the purpose. The
work implieds in: assorting this huge pile.
is something enormoue, and requires con-
siderable skill,. but Mr Marteh is fully
equal to the occasion, and works with a
rapidity that is surprising. After the,
rags are properly asserted, they are packed
into bales• of'600lbs, Boob, by two power-
fulpresses, andas soon as convehierttship-,
ped to a paper nail], where they are either
workedver again into cloth, or converted
into i er. This is only a part .of the
extend
1business carried on by Mr Mar-
ten', but it is nevertheless an important
part. '
