To the Editor of Tee nom
Mit, B(491311,-1 am growing weary of
issuing accounte paged by Township
Councils in conneetion with gravelling
contreets for datnage done to lane or
field. I think it le it Newnee of fraud
that should not be tolerated by any
corporation. I him known men to &dm
$1.00 datnages whem there WM not 250
worth of injury, Pay a Effie price for the
gravel but HMO off the extras by all
means, is my doctrine,
Yours Truly,
Morris, July 11. Roamer.
Dem Me. almeon,—The streets of
Brussels are usually wall watered but 1
find fault because in the early morning
there is too much moisture and tho
street orossings are made a mud puddle.
Could not a little less water be used then
and 0 little more in the afternoons and
thereby balance the job. Nature has
been very kind to Mr. Henderson thie
season ia assisting him end I feel sure he
will not object to oblige no in the way
indicated. If so I will be,
Yours Thankfully,

RUB Sue—Did you over notioe the
absurd way in which people often intro,
deco stiangers ? If no I will give you an
example :--"Mr. Smith allow mo to
make you acquaititeti with my cousin
from Oelifornia." Mr. Smith, bows and
neenowledgets the oompliment but to Save
his life he dont know by what name to
address his new acquaintance or intro-
duce her to others. He is tied up to this
one fact theft she is a amain of Miss
lilanles and haila from California. This
blunder is often made by people who
should know better teed I ask you to in-
sert this brief note to oall their attention
to this breach of etiquette and thereby
relieve myself aud others of being placed
in a mast uncomfortable situation.,
Respectfully Yours, ••

Whales the sense' la hauling rooks out of

work? The bill goes to the Couneil for

pathmaster should have a stone hammer
and have every large etone properly
broken and the loads levelled, then there
would be some show for an improvement
in road making. I think the Council is
altogether too lax in not looking tater
this matter. The patlatnitsters take an
obligation to attend to the work but in
many oases 11 18 very imperfectly clone.

A. resolution !sympathizing with the
loyalists oE Ulster in thole present
struggle against Home Rule was carried
amidst great cheering. An excellent
program of athletic gemes followed the
speaking. The following is the resolution
referred to above ; —Resolved that we,
the members, friends and sympathizers
of the Loyal Orange District of St.
artery's here assenableci, believing that the
measure of home rale for Ireland now
being 0,gitatecl and sought for by the
Home Rule party in Greet Brituin would
result in disturbing the oivil and religi•
ous liberties of the loyal Protestant sub-
jects of Our Gracious Majesty the Queen
in that realm, and would ultimately lead
to 0 repetition of the war of 1600 ; we
therefore extend to our brothern, the
loyalists of Ulster, our heartfelt sympa,
blues, and pray that God, the Great
Grand Mester above, may help and sup-
port them in their present struggle.
