Nuzzle your. Dogs.
A vast amount of speculation is in-
dulged in about the dog muzzling
question, in this neighborhood. The
law in this platter seems to have be-
come a dead letter just when it should
have been enforced inthe most riger-
ous manner. When the weather is as
hot as it has been for the past two
weeks, every animal of the canine
species should be provided with a
strong and safe muzzle or kept tied up.
Some people think that it is only the
dogs in the city that go mad, but that
is an erroneous idea, as any dog is
able: to be afflicted with hydrophobia,
whether in the city or country. The
majority of peop'e think that while
their neighbors' dogs are running at
large, their dogs should also 'go free.
This is a wrong standpoint to view the
subject from. It should be viewed.
from the same point that people gener-
ally view any question from, namely, a
personal view. A man should use pre-
caution in this matter for the safety of
his own family if for no other motive,
and the result would be public as well
as personal safety. Too great care
cannot be exercised during the months
of July and August to prevent hydro-
phobia, and the best way to secure the
safety of your own family, as well as
the public, is to keep the dogs securely
muzzled during• those months. The
danger is too great to alloy any indif-
fereuee,alid, pethmasters should enforce;
the law iii the most rigid manner.

Your engineer pointed out
that some of the woodwork was beeotn
ing spoiled for the want of paint; this,
we think, is,necessary for the, preset
ration of the building, Our attention
has been called to the cave-trong'lis`on

they are broken away, thus allowing
the water to run down tlie;'`wales; also
to the ceiling in Judge Toms' room,
which has broken away= and 'fallen to
the floor, rind more of which is liable to,
fall at any time, thus rendering it
dangerous to be in the room. We re-
commended that such repairs as may'
de considered necessary by the engi-,
neer be made. With regard to the

been made clear to your committee
that in order to keep the documents ]ll.

G1 Tr,E3u x:—On the •24tH of May
last, in company with the warden, I
examined the river at Wing•ham where

Boating, fishing and bathing was the
order of the day, but the opinion of a
large majority of the people is that if

themselves so smart would show a
little common SCl1SC it would be better
for themselves and a great deal more
pleasaatit for others. They should re
member that there are others On board

not relish such silly nonsense, I will
say no, more fooling confident that none
