Ile describes the pereliase of the• :farin and the joy of possession, and then goes on to describe the simple joys 0f everyday farm life, finding' beauty and worthwhile lessons in the most -ordinary on lace thins. -o r r t aYhd comm p g 1 He loved the soil.

To i s in our "'fine clothes and s011 manners it peems indelicate." The writer was a well informed He loved good literature, and had a well -stored mind, and who has More, need of -such an advantage than a farmer, who has to be his own director,,businoss manager and agent.

The book is not without its touch- es of .greatness , its hilt of 'pathos. A tramp comes along and after be- ing received with kindness', tells his atory'-"a strange story 1t was.•. It seems unbelieveable to inc, as 1 set it down here, until 'I reflect how li tblo any one of us knows oL . the ,deep life within our nearest neighbor ,tvliat stories there are, what trag •eases enacted under a calm exterior.

Not only did this farmer till his fields but, as he said, be "farmed himself;" and the crop he produced was one worthy of the trouble it took. "We leave our markjalI of tus, .for good or ill, upon our neigh- borhoods, according to the strength of that character which abides with- in us." The writer evidently believes that 'rnuch may be grown from the soil besides wheat and corn and oats. ".'31 our title u • were not recruited con- s ve staidly with, the fresh, clean blood ••,of the country, with boys wlio still ',retain some of the power and the vision drawn from the soil, where would we be ?" he asks. "A city ',hammers .and polishes its denisons into a defined model : it worships :wtandardation ; but the country en- courages differentiation, it loves new types, Thus is it that so many •great and original men have lived their youth upon a farm." Ile doesn't miss the faults of the .country people ; their intolerance of gieople who are "different" their lit- tle weaknesses, but going deeper ..than that he sees the fine, true •strength of them beneath. •Dr. John North, whom, after a long lite spent In service to the neighborhood, they laid away witli reverend hands, and with tears of which they were not :ashamed ; George Baxter, the car- penter, strong-minded, a' leader in. the community, who had "quiet grey :eyes which seemed to hold a caress," and the sturdy, stoclgM Scotol# preneher, with his indifferent pl:eaeh- ing but bis noble living, When yeti la); the rook down you feel as if yon had l1#ov5. them all and your r lifewas the Tidier for it s was 1# , a the writer's, "I have planted corn and I have bore a crop, not only 'of Coro, but of happiness and birPe.

Jones, Thomas M. Grieve, Fred. Robinson, ,James Sproat and Samuel Dickson, vs. township of Tuekersnlith and R. Kruse. On the 13th cla)' of January, 1913, . the township of Tuckersmitlh -passed a bylaw whereby it assumed to close Mill street north of Queen streetin Seaforth. thereby depriving the plaint; Pis of the right to use this street and cutting oil ac- cess to their lots which fronted on it. The township followed up its by- law by selling the street to Defen- dant Kruse who proceeded to deal with the land as if it Was his own and placed a building across it. Re P. Jones and tie others interest- ed in the street took proceedings to set aside the bylaw, the deed to Kruse,. and to compel him to remove his building off the street. The mo- tion was heard by Mr. Justice Mid- dleton who made an order quashing the bylaw. The , township appealed and the and .division of the appellate division set aside this order and diu:- ee5.ecl the motion and action to set aside the conveyance to be tried together. The trial took place at Stratford before Mr. Justice Latch- ford who found in favor of the plain- tiffs, quashed the bylaw, set aside the 'conveyance and directed Kruse to remove .lils huikling, witli costs to be paid by defendants. Tho town- ship and Kruse appealed and their appeal was heard by the let appellate division wlfieh. set aside that. portion 01 Justice • Latchforcl's ;judgment which quashed the whole bylaw but =tabled, that part (Alt which -held that the township acted illegally in' disposing of the street and making the conveyance to Kruse. The plainh- tilis appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada and Kxuse cross appealed iu so far as his conveyance was set aside. On the 2nd inst. the Supremo Court delivered a unanimous judg- allow.ed me11L whereby ht a lolt:e the plain- tiffs' p tiffs' appeal, restored the judgment of Justice Latchford, • dismissed Kruse's cross appeal and directed the defendants to pay the costs' of the litigation throughout. This judgment is .a 'clear vindication of the plain- tiffs' cpntention. It . took ,them a long tithe tir some their rights and to obtain them liad Ito incur very considerable risk oft paying costs. In doing so, although fighting a wealthy corporation, they showed pluck and determination. Tile case is now a celebrated one and has set- tled the law in Ontario, as to the powers of municipalities' to close streets laid down on plans which .the munisipality had never a0sunhed, or adopted as public highways.• Seaforth Miss Maud.
