Larne t. fund, and now- seeks to be relieved, at bereel the expense of the Province, from the ion : i ereater portiou of ' its debt, the annual riceIpayments to which would involve ne serious burden of taxation upon that t'hia. , county. The annual payment required ione i from.

I ities in a similar position, whose ability 'my, :: to pay can not be queetiotted. Shoord the Government think it just, - ; however„ that Perth should be relieved 6sht ,t of its indebtedness incurred for the Buf.- ker- ! fala and Lake flitrort Railway, on the ivid ! ground of that being a work of Provin, Etat- , end importanee, then Huron is certain - 0n, ; la- in jus-tiee entitled to a return -of the: 1 at 1 moneys paid on 'its loan contracted for •lared 1 the same work. The deputation feel der- f convinced that the Government could. `) never so fat- sanction and reward a course Rrst l of repudiation, as to relieve the County deet : of Perth and refuse a reintharseruentto Mr. 1 Huron. The deputation 'think it un - by 1 necessary to enlarge more upon this Ma- I point; as such a. course would be e direct t be 1 encouragement to repudiation, and en- Oed 1 courage other municipalities to follow the ; the example set, if that example were to the ' receive the sanction or endorsatime of the , hire He sprit iterl tent -Loan Government of the Prevince. During the interview with you, the deputation were honored with to -clay, they gathered from your remarks, that the deputation lately before you from the town of Gcelerich, had suggested the propriety of the Government assuming-, Strte1 the settlement of a claim whichthe town iln- of Goderich hag preferred against the :fore County for the purchase or assumption by the County of a road known as the for Northern Gravel road, in which the - the town had invested a. portion of the money a of borrowed by that manieipality from the Pat- Manieipal Loan Fund. The deputation N. are fully satisfied that the Government on will clearly see the impropriety and in - cagy justice of interfering in any way, by /eaislation cr government action, to arbi- - trarily compel the County tteassume any !was portion of the indebtedness of the town,. Einty againgt the will of the ratepayers of the County. Withelit enterine''at all into by the merits of the claim of the town of J be Goderich, it is sufficient to say that the ! whatever is just and right in the matter Lpal wdl, no doubt, be done by the County, L OR ' aud in anticipation of, and as an intro- duction to a final and satisfeetory settle - twit, meet of the claims ot the town, the Conn- iney ty Conned did at its het sitting iu lary 1872, aseurne for the present year, the t by maintenance and repairs of the said road, and agreed to pay to the town the sum of - $2,000, as representing the interest for was. the year of the amount claimed by the t hy. town for the road. We nrentionthis simplyi fa show that the County s ieet- alined to do what is rie-ht in the matter, tan- - hut we must respectfully but earneetly unit . the protest against any coercion in a. matter the that lies solely with the ratepayers of the County and their repreeentatives in nr the County Council. The deputation may mention that in. it 1871 the Coupty made a. proposition to the late Government to -close its Muni- inty . hria- meal Loan Fund debt by a further pay- ment to its sinking fund of tee , 000, it the ra - Government would accept that as a final settlement of the debt.

Horatio Seymour, 'Presi- dent of the American Dairymen's Asso- ciation, at the annual meeting of that Society, held in Utica, N. Y., on the 14th inst., should be of interest to farrn- ers and other* intetested m iaieyitig : BREEDING BETTER BEASTS. More attention should be paid to breeding arid raising better stock. Breed- ing from scrubs and common blood. is suicidal ehort-sightedness. It is a " peto ny wiie and 'pound foolish '" practice to use feeble and worthless yearling bulls. - when for $100 to $500 eneighborhoed may be „supplied with, the best bided.; that which is certain to transmit its good qualities. That bitted should. be selected which is adapted to thepurposes for which stock is hred. When the dairy is the object a. bull should be, selected from a good" Milking family,' .and he should also bear all the marks of a good milking family. '• No other is trustwor- thy. Calves should be raised only from the best milking cows. A native or an grade bull should never be trusted, for bad qualities are as surely transmissible as good ones. When breeding from grades, the wrong side of the cross is niost apt to show. ,1 Poor bloged is sometimes the most po- tent. Pureblooded males of god marks and unexceptional pedigree alone are safe, and stook from any other ; at this daywill be found eery uearofitable. The beat to begin with and the best in continuance only will be found to pay. As in this, so in every departmeet of the farm, care must be exercised if it is to be • made to pay. Judicious fertilizieg, care- ful selection of seed, the best cultivation, as well as the best 'eclucatien of the chil- • dren and a general looking after the edu- cational and moral Welfare of the --com- munity at large, devolves on every one. Then, if he does not live to reap his re- ward bete, he can safely- hope to receive it somewhere in the fatire. A VERY WHOLESOME DIET. The indigestibility charged upon cheese is not an -inherent quality, but one which attaches onlyto its curdy state, and a very large percentage of cheese on sale in our retail markets. is little less than half -dried curd, and not cheese m the proper _sense of the term. It is doubly unfortunate to offer.such green stuff to American people They are no- toriously a nation of dyspeptics, and a more unfit class of consumers could not. be found to cope with such indigestible natter. It could hardly do otherwise than to disturb the stomach and the gen- eral health, and to produce disturbance mentally and morally; as well as, physic- ally. Cheese needs to pass through -a eriod of ripening the same as fruit,. and or a somewhat similar reason. Greera_ cheese is n� k more fit to eat thaa green fruit. But when it has, like font,. reach- ed a proper stage of ripenese, it is as easy of digestion and as wholesome, and may be used as freely asany other equally conceutrated food.. -The English gener- ally use mature cheese, and he'tee can :eat it as freely as other food, a d with equal safety, while , we, by sing it green.. can take but little„ -'and often find that little too much. • Though it is . as difficult to tell when a cheese is just ripe as to tell when an apple is in this condition, still there are sonie • CHARACTERISTICS OF Goon CH biESE, knowledge of which will help coesumers to judge of fitness or unfitness for use. The proper stage of ripeness is character- ized be a total want ot elasticity when pressed with the finger. The , cheese feels as if breaking under the finger, and the dent remaina ; has a salvy and,oily ap- pearance when mash ed between thethumb and finger; and melts on the tongue like" a ripe pear, -when taken into the mouth; and it retains, when cut, a soft, oily surface for a long time, not readily drying up. The opposite indications mark the unripe, indigestible cheese, viz.: Elesticity, when pressed a hard or tough structure, when masted be- tween the thumb and finger; drying and cracking readtly when exposed to'the air; a harsh and dry aptearance in the trier, and kwant of 'fat and disclination to melt when masticated. It is not enough thet a cheese is soft or free from, objec- tionable flavors. It must have had its caeein changed and its tough curd. nature broken down so as to dissolve; essily. Cheese that dries rapidly on being eut in:ay always be relied on as not having yielded up. its curdy nature to elle cheesy fermentation, and is subject tet the charge of difficult dieestion. Thewater in curd is feebly retained. most of it mechanic- ally held M minute 4avities ; while in ripe eheeac it enter a into cheraioal uuirn with the new produces formed by the more complete fermentation. and contri- butes to the, bdttery appearance of ripe cheese, and hence does not evaporate away readily. • 000, cry soon thereafter her people e e started. on -the uesociated plan,. which proved a perfect , successand there has been built up from that beginning, in -the short spice of six years, an interest -that has grown into an important branch • of commerce ; SO much so that in 1869 the Dominion not only supplied her own 1 necesoitiei, but exporteci to thetriother 1 country almoat 6,000,000 pounds, and the next year something over 8,000,000 pounds. The indications are that their fiecal year, which will eint with June, 1873, will show that insteadtof roaches- , in from us; as formerly, from 1,0004000 pounds to 2,000,000 pounds, they have taken the place of mire exports to the ex - .tent of 20,000,000 pounds. Whether this estimate is too large or two small, the at must be apparent that Canadian cheek must before very long seriousl . af- 4 fect our trade in 4e English, n1*et They learned to Make cheese of Mee nd they make it after our Pattern. They have not yet -attained to the excellence of our dairying districts, but there is enough of the American element among them to perfect • the art by-and-by. They have the elements for producing excellent cheese at a; less cost than we can, and elien the pride of our exports shall be reduced. to tbe bare cost of pro- duction, our Canadian friends Will be able to 'sell at the same price, and have a margin left for p..rofiiio. ...- • AUCTION SALES.

The trade in horses during the week evinced a gradual slackening in the de- mand for wok horses., This calm, al- though at present somewhat intensified by unfavorable weather, is not altogether unusual at this time Of the year and. may -be regarded as preceding the healthy re- action which must come to the market with an early and active Spring trade. The averege price paid for railroad and stage horses was $165 per head, and the highest prices for coach horses 'ranged, from $500 to, $700 per pair. Among speedy , horses recently sold in the city were a black gelding, by Flying, Cloud, for $1,500 gray gelding Frank (Mes- senger stock) for $2,000. In Kentucky, at Mr. Dorsey's sale, Rolla Golddust -sold. to Mr. McDaniels, of Vinton, Iowa, for $3.600, and a two-year-old colt, by Manibrino Patchen, was sold by Mr. Henry Chiles, ot Lexington, for $2,500. The cerebro -spinal meningitis' has made its appearance in several livery stables in the city.
