We are not selfish but only want our rights. At present the Hen- sall-Ohiselhurst route and that to Lum- ley involves about 100 miles of weekly travel,and Lumley only gets mail twice a week at that, while with the route we propose, Lumley and Bethesda in addit- ion to B oclgerv ilia and Ohiselhurst would get a daily mail with •only about 95 miles of travel. So that any one can see it would not only be a gaeat con- venience but a save in distances and very probably in expense We are aware that some people do not favor our proposition, but they are prompted more by selfish motives than by a desire to serve the public good. We have one of the wealthiest communities in the county, and we doubt if there are people in a counfry neighborhood in this province of Ontario who read more or aro more desirous of daily communication with the outside world, and there is no re tson why their wiehes should not be gratified when no one would be inconvienced thereby. We do not wish to take away any post office hub simply to extend present arrangements to include us in. the fevers bestowed at present on those on our borders. Exeter Municipal Council.

Scott, the owner of the dog that evorried Mr. Cons. wrth'e sheep It o.ppeara that a stray dog suffering from hydrophobia, unknown to people along the Town I,ine between Blenheim and South Dumfries, hod bitten Mr. Scott's dog, The family had seen nothing wrong with the dog. The dog had left and nothing was known of him further than that - a neighborine hound was seen with hint. Bat he had not gone far when he retarned home and was afterwards shot. Healthy dogs never make a companion with a rabid one. The dog was seen worrying Mr. Coneworth's sheep when he was shot. Soon after the sheep ehowed signs of hydrophobia and a veter- inary surgeon was Rent for wno ordered the sheep to be killed, that is, those skew- ing signs of dimase. The others were ordered to be watched. In all 15 sheep have been killed, and there have been light symptoms of the disease in others. en arbitration was ananged and the eheep were valued at 320 each, which the owner refuses, wanting 350 each, the flock being o inost valuable one, perhaps the best in the oountry. No ease has been tried so far as is known. No blame can be shown against the owuer of the dog, in fact lie has, we understand, expressed a desire to Pay a reasonable sum for the injury done by his dog. On the other hand the owner of the sheep refuses to take only the tall value according to his own velnation. The case will now likely be settled by law. What form it will take it is difficult to say, If a dog bit a men would the family get any remuneretion from the owner of the dog? -Galt Reporter. WORLD'S COLUMRIAN KxPONITION.
