FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1e81.
TNR SNOW -DRIFT r GISANCB.
Goderich, 'like other towns in this
region, has suffered in a commercial way
by the recent snow blockade. For sev-
eral days, when the storm was at its
height, comm=unication with the outer
world was almost entirely cut off; and
since that time it has been exceedingly
unpleasant for the travelling public to
drive upon roads leading north or south.
The price of hay, and bulky articles, has
gone up on account of the difficulties
attending their marketing, and business
generally has fallen off owing to the di. -
inclination of farmers to drive to town
over almost impassible reads We
wonder if this state of affairs could not
be remedied. Of course, in a climate like
this, sudden snow storms will always
make more or leas drift; but al-.
though the drifts cannot be entirely pre-
vented, the troubles experienced by
travellers Wright be mitigated to a greet
extent if properly attended to. The
Cour)cils should instruct patlimaaters to
see that drifts on the leading roads are
out away, and the pitch -holes filled up.
A little "doctoring" done soon after a
etorm would alter the condition of a
Lighway wonderfully. Some of our
friends have suggested to us the pro
priety of municipal Councils, or the
Legislature, encouraging the erection of
wire fenees. It is held by many that the
drifts would not be so frequent or w
large if wire fences were substituted for
the rail and board fences at present en-
closing most of our a:rats. They say
that if suet fenceswere in vogue, the
vends would sweep through them, leaving
the roadway for the must part level after
a storm. Any drifts resultinga from
natural causes could be readily remedied.
And speaking of wire fences, reminds us
that there is need of judgment being
used in purchasing the art.clo. Cum -
plaints are being made that • the barbed
wire fences have sometimes proved in-
jurious to the life and limb of.cattle and
homer. An exchange says' Not long
since, Colonel C. Bogarus boat a valuable
horse, which ran against a barbell wire
fence while playing in the pasture and
the latest 11Ltcident of which we have
heard happened to a half Noncan 2 year
old colt belonging to El. C. Hefder. It
was in pasture and got his right hind
leg terribly cut up by a single barb wire
which was stretched across the creek.
When farmers use this wire let thein at
least have a top board on the fence, so
that an animal can see that there is a
fence. The accounts of damage dune to
a'.ock by barbed wire aro so frequent as
to merit this notice, and fanners should
pay Rome attention to the subject.
However, the attention of the olstruction
of the highway by snow drifts, to the
delay of mails, the derangement •,f busi-
ness, and the general inconvenience of
the public, is Dire that should engage the
attention of those who have the power to
deal with the matter. Drifts and pitch
holes cannot be utterly prevented, but
they can be made to be more un-
common; and certainly they can be
remedied mere fully and more .uickly
after they do occur.
