Stn,—Would you kindly give space to the following : In your issue of last week, Mr E Roberts, sexy. Board of '','rade, in. structed by the Board, writes n letter oritt- eising the village council, in part, for not entertaining certain petitions, asking the council to submit a by.law toestablislo a cash butter and egg market, Mr Roberta is correct in stating ,that et the public organizatiqu meeting of May 3rd,. matters of weight touching the welfare of the village were suggested, tatter freight rates, better grain market, high school, iudncomeut to manufactories, etc. The butter and egg question was neither men- tioned nor yet furshadowed.' Sir, J: assert the council acted discreetly in declining to submit that by -lav, -a by-law which, if carried, would imply, first the expense of eubmitting it, second, :would obligate the council to provide indefinite premises, at what cost and, where located not specified. Third, the council, would bo rendered virtually responsible for carrying on "the cash for butter and egg business." Further, such action would feud to discourage and injure, not encourage the person now en- gaged in that business. Merchants in surrounding villagee would view such action eminating from the village council, as aggressive ; they wuuld retaliate by paying wash also,—they having capital and doing business at low expense; could compete only too successfully. I reassert the oonneil acted with discretion' in this matter; to have entertained that petition and to have assumed all its implied responsibilities, provided the by-law carried, would have been unprecedented, absurd and illegal. Such a course would merit enol would re- ceive in clue time a blunt rebuke, evert from many of those who signed the petition. The Board of Trade suggests double dealing and inconsistency on the part of certain members of the council. I do not wish to retail and would merely offer in rei.uru a respectful, dissent from their finding, The Board complains of being deadlocked and ask as to whether it is to become a nonentity. f believe the surest safeguard against these 'evils hes in _ advocating measures calculated •to advance the material interests of the village at large, witbout discrimination. Such a course would justly receive and would command. he syml..athy and co-operation of all partiesYours Truly, RAT ILER, Exeter, Aug. 8111, 1889. -------+-4s. 'oderich.

ARCHER Manager, TUB "WEED QTBsTzoN,—•Page 1,720, chap 174, of the .Revised Statutes of Ontario, 'empowers municipal councils' to pass by -caws • fcr preventing the growth of Caeadlaa thistles and other weeds detrimental to husbandry, and oangpelling the destruction thereof; and also for the appointmentof an inspector with power to enforce the provisions of s such by-law, Nearly every nunicipalit y has taken advantage of this the Statutes andassed b �lawsnbb u p y t they are never put into effect, At the present time the public highways, which, certainly should be attended to under the provisions of the Ontario law, are full of all kinds of noxious weeds, In turn the adjoining farms become infest- ed, and thus they spread. If a muni- cipal representative be asked why the provisions of the law are not carried out, the answer is that to Carry out the pro- visions of the law or by-law wpuld create ill -feeling auto endanger their chances for re-election: ' But these officials are making bad friends anyway, for the intelligent part of the community who see the necessity of destroying these weed pests are getting in the majority, and intend to enforce these by-laws at any expense. This weed question is be corning ,of gigahtic dimensions, as several. fields in this neig`lborhood will testify. A farmer who allows Canada thistles, say, to grow on his own not only in- juries himself, billthewholn community and the codutry alarge. This Canada thistle growth is not confined to Canada but extends to nearly every part of the American union, and it lias been a men- ace to successful agriculture for the last 50 years, and every year the injury is more formidable.` An Important Decision. At Osgoode Hall on Monday, Judge McMahon decided on an important ease under the Manhood Suffrage Act, affect- ing persona who desire to have their names placed on the roll, and the con- ditinns under which tuey can claim the adjudication of the Revision Court with-, out reference to -the county judge.: The plaintiff was Mr G F Martner, :NI P P. for Maskoka, and the respondents—the, Revision Court of Graveuhurst. The action arose out of twenty-six residents applying to have their names put on the list of persons entitledto vote at the Legislative Assembly elections. The names were presented by,Mr Ma•ner to the Court of Revision, who, for reasons of their own refused to entertain the appli- cations, saying that they could be made to the county Judge. Under the statute there is an alternative of applying to the county judge, that is, one can make an application to be put on the Het as a manhood suffrage voter in the Court of Revision or to the county judge by way of appeal --after h t o Court of Revision have refused the a pplicatio❑ Iu this ,naso the Court of Revision. refused to enter- tain the appeals, and the plaintiff brought the matter before the court in the shape of an application for a mandamus to com- pel the Conrt to 'sit and adjudicate upon them. Judge lllcilahon granted the ap- plication and ordered the :Court in ques- tion to hear and determine the appeals brought before them by these particular applicants, and gave Mr Alarner the costs of itis application against the Court of Revision, One of the points regarded as important by the judge was the fact tbst the applicants would nbb beable to appear in any case before the county judge as their business would take them; away to the lumber camps at the time. BRITIStI GRAI:1 Tndnx. London, August 5.—The Mark Lane Ex. press in its review of the British grain trade during the past week, says:- English wheats are generally 6c1 lower, though on many exchanges concessions' are refuted. The August average price for the entire kingdom opens at 30s. Iu London the price is 30s 11d. The sales of the foreigu wheats have been small and prices aro six- pence cheaper. Adverse reports about foreigu crops have impressed some holders, but there are a few who concede a reduc- tion for spring. Corn is quiet, Oats are sixpence lower.
