Dza.B, Sun -Permit me the utte of a brief space in your yitluable columnto draw atteution to and poiut out a few of the many defects of this system of 7.'ovanahip blunieipal Goyernment. To be brief, I will put these in as plain a form as pos- sible, as follow : 1. The Deputy Reeve, being appointed by the Council, m not a repreaentative of the people according to the elective ems - tem of representation ; and in this day of clamor for popular eontrol ft appeara astra.nge that pritle will tolerate this violation of a 4pvincip'e, which, in nearly everything else, even to electing Trustees, is held most dear. The Deputy Reeve has the same voice in the County Council as the Reeve, then why ehotild he not be aubject to the same election laws ae the Reeve is, and rue the gauntlet of popular fewer front year to year as all other repro- sillaitintattves ? It frequently happens that the Council cannot agree' and the appoint- ment is made the !subjectof moch cavil, eto.'whereas lithe people had the eay, these tlitficulties would dieeppear, 2. The Syatem lute a tendency:to beget in a Councillor a narrowners and selfish- ness, as he is too apt to confine his atten- tion to one pertiouler corner of his Muni- ' ' o'neyard, and loses all interest in the wirevt -ms nding as well as that of those in his IV, o.:he Townehip, whose money he is e own little preserve, 3. It would do away with Ward appro. priations and came the money to be ex- pended in those places only where needed. It cannot be argued that under the Ward system We is the case, for instances have occurred within the experience of the writer where a Councillor from Ward A would bitterly oppose the expenditure of money for a special road or ditch in Ward B,whereas if he were elected by the vote of the whole Township, self interest if nothing else, would induce him to broaden hie views and sympathies for all alike, and expend the money where nec, eseary. 4. It would bring the 'people of the Township into closer relationship and sympathy, as each one would cease to regard a Ward as his constituency and look to the interests of all. If people do not have broad views in regard to public matters they aro of little value to the state, and this putting a man into a earner tends to cramp his yiews and narrow his public spiritedness to a small compass. The larger the :sphere the more active, watchful and public spirited will the re- presentative become, 5. In the County of Huron there are only two townships in which the system prevails -McKillop and Usborne. This of itself is aufficient condemnation of the system, for the public is not slow to adopt any system which tends to better Govern- ment,ancl we have yet to hear of a burning deatietw on the part of -municipalities to carverehemselves up into four independent little constituencies, instead of uniting as a whole for the common good, 6. Let steps be taken to abolish a eye tem which haa no tendency but to narrow the mincle of public men, and isolate parts of the same community, whose interests are identical, and whose rights should be protected and looked after by representa- tives elected. by the votes of the majority. ?ours truly, Jaeuary 30, 1893.

But a depreciation in real estate ceased the harmonious working of the agreement and ended in the husband's loss of his Baena°. He fell in arrears in his quarterly payments. She then sued. The case was tried by Judge Macdougall, of Toronto in the County Court in October last, who gave judgment for plaintiff for some 0250, from which judgment the defendant now appeals. He sets up this peculierdefenowthat his wife being a married woman without property, was unable wording to commou law to convenant that she Would support herself and pay h et own debts, and that he is therefore not bound to carry out bit part of the agree- ment.
