John Whyte at Son, own O farm opposite to that occupied by Sheen, used principally for grazing sheep. To- wards the close of last year a number of entree's were missed from tinse to tilde, said euspidon fall on Simon, and his prem- ises being searched, several sheep were found, as well as the pelts of othere, which had been killed, which Mr. Whyte olitim• ed to be his. Sheen is in the habit of taking mutton and sheep skins to Stratford ror sale, and an investigation revealed among the sales okins bearing Whyte's private mark. The total number of sheep claimed to have been lost was 55. These facts led to Shean's aroest, The question of the separation of certain farm lands froni the town of St. Marys, to be attkohed to Blanshard, was before the Private gills committee at Tor- onto last week. and after talking the matter over the Legislature agreed to give effect to a by law passed by the town council fixing the rate of taxation on all farms of 25 or • more acres within the corporation to be only si multi on the dollar of assessed value for general ex- penditure, the ovsnere of said lands to continue paying the full rate for the present debenture debt and for school purposes. Any further indebtedness by the issue of debentures (except for school purposes) will not apply to said farm lands. This is a very much better way out of the difficulty than a change of the boanderies would be and every farm- er in the corporation is by this arrange- ment relieyed. The rate for general expenditure for the past 15 years • or so would sewage about 7 mills, so that the farmers are relieved one half that rate at present. . Middlesex County Notes.
