P. of South Huron, and Mr. Wihiarn Long, Reeve of Maryboro, County Valuators for the purpose of ex- amining and valuing. the lands in that county. The report of these cotrimis- sioners was submitted to the Minty Council at its meeting last week. The following extracts from the report will, no doubt, be interesting to llitronites, as it will show them what kind of neigh- bors they have. The Beacon says :— The report is regarded as satisfactory by the representatives of the southern town- ships and North Easthope, but tlee Reeves from the municipalities raised don't take kindly to it. This was to be expected. Hitherto the valuation has been an unfair one, and it is but natural that those who are now raised should feel dissatisfied. WHAT TUE COMMIssIONERS SAY: Having been appointed in August, 1886„ to value the real property of the 'county, we beg to submit our final -re- port. In the absence of any instruc- tiens from the council we concluded to travel every concession that is open and tit to drive over in the different munici- palities, putting a, value upon each lot of land according to the locality, quality of the land, state of improvements and quality and condition of the buildings situated thereon. THE SYSTEM ADOPTED., In villages situated in the differeut townships we put a value upon all the buildings, and included the whole in the valeta of the township lot on which the buildings are situated. In incorporated towns and villages the system we adopt- ed was to select a number of properties in the various localities, representing the different classes of buildings in each municipality and put what we consider- ed a fair value upon each separate pro- perty. We then got the assessment rolls and compared our valuation with the assessed value, and increased or reduced the total value of each municipality accordingly, adding the value of any new buildings put up since the last assessment was made. We took the acreage of the various townships from the county atlas by putting down the number of acres as given in each lot or parcel of land in the different town- ship maps. vernevaroe OF ELMA. The first township we visited was Elma. We found the land i very level with a good deal of swamp. •Where the bush stands the best of the timber has all been taken off. Bush fires- have run over a considerable amount of the low land and burnt down the thnber. There are a number of large ditches run- ning into the swamps, with sufficient depth in most instances to admit of the land being thoroughly drained. The soil is a rich clay loam, and mostly all capable of making fine land when -dried. There are a good many fine bank barns, some good dwelling houses, and the land generally is well fenced, with fair roads for a new township. • mORNINGTON was the next municipality visited. The laud in the south part of the township is a good clay loam until after passing the village of Millbank, which is situat- ed on the seventh concession near the east side of the township. The north part of Mornin_gton is a heaxy clay soil and requires a large amount of draining. The fences in many parts of the town- ship are poor, the dwellings only mid- dling, with a number of farms well fenced, well drained, and good build- ings. The roads etre fairly aernpiked, but not gravelled to any extent. WALLACE, the most northern township in the county, is well situated, having Listowel on the south and Palmerston on the north. The land is clay loam, soil brokeia,in places with small -males, but no large swamps. There are a great many fine bank barns, with small dwel- ling houses, and a few fine stone and brick residences. The farms are fairly ir. well fenced, and the roads fa meter. In this township there is a .good deal of swamp land, spread over Cie town- ship with one or two large swamps. There are a few large ditehes leading in- to the low land. Drains must be made in a great part of the township before the land is of much use. There are some godci farms with good buildings. The soil is generally a clay loam, with heavy ele!y in some places. The roads are in a good state of repair generally. ELLICE. This is the poorest township in the county, and, along with Logan, settle- .ment and improvement have been kept -back by the Canada Company holding considerable tracts of land as yet un- settled, and at prices, in our opinion, above their actual value. There is a large cranberry marsh in the centre of .the township, which. has been run over with fire. There is a large amoant of swamp surrounding the marsh where a great deal of the timber has been burnt down, the fire having in some instances run over a second time, nearly clearing the land of timber. A portion of the swamp in our opinion is the poorest land in the county having three and four feet of black muck on the top before reaching a dry bottom. The rest of the land is good clay loam. In the centre of the township the roads are barely formed and many of them only fit to travel in -dry weather in summer, or when frozen in winter. Avon, which angles throtugh. the town- ship efrom Stratford to 'the southwest corner. The land is generally a black loam On the surface, with a clay subsoil, and requires. a great amount of draining. The roads are fairly turnpiked, especial- ly the concessions, but there is not so much graveling done as in HilThert or Blanshard. The farms as a whole are not well fenced; the buildings are fair. HIEBEFr has very little swamp land. The sur- face is gently undulating, with sufficient fall for drainage. There are a large number of fine farms with handsome stone and brick dwellings and fine bank barns. The roads are well turnpiked, mid the 6oneessions nearly all graveled and in segood state of repair. ,The state of cultivation of the land is good in most of the township. eueteilta0N. The river Thames runs from the north- west cornerof ithe township almost to the south -east -corner. The land along the river Welke is steep in places, yet there is comparatively little waste land, as the river isnot included in the survey. The land is a clay loam soil and is well cultivated. The fences are generally good. The gteatest number of stone dwellings is in this township, with fine bank barns. only to the:to% county. 3:4ZORTII EAsTIIOPR contains a large amount of hilly land which is of a, sandy loam nature. A part of the same swamp runs through Ellice and strikes the western part of the township. The land is generally well tilled, with good buildings and well fenced. The enacts are also good,: ex- cepting in the swampy part, but the soil although not requiring so much draining, is not of the lasting quality of the land in the more level . townships. sou= EA.T11011t: is a township of fairly good land, with a part of swamp in the northwest cor- ner. It is a level township. :The lend is a clay loam, and Wily- well fenced, with good buildings. The roads are in a fair condition. The township is well situeted --with the city of Stratford on the nerthwest, Tavistock on the south aud Shakespeare on the north. It con tins the largest amount of village pro- perty to the number of acres of any township in the comity, amounting to over $3.50 per acre over the whole town- ship. DOWNIE. The land is very level except along the south boundary, which is a little hilly, and along the banks; of the. river he township is second nship of Blanshard in the ELAH NSARD is in our opinion the finest township in the county of Perth. The Thames river runs from the north boundary to St. Marys, then to the south-east boundary, but as the river is not included in the no doubt some inconvem- little waste land. In the township there is a block of over 30,000 acres of the finest land we have seen in the Province of Ontario, without a single bad lot of land. The soil is sand and clay loam a.nd in a good state of cultivation. The farms are well fenced with the greatest num- ber of fine bank barns and brick dwell- ings of any township in the county. The roads are well turnpiked, and the concessions, especially in the west part of the toWnship, nearly all graveled and in good repair. TOWNS .AND VILLAGES Mitehehl isteduced from the assess- ment of 1886 the sum of $12,366. Very little . bnilding has been done for some time. Listowel would have been re- duced by $11,26-1„ but there was added for new buildings since the assessment of 1886 was made, $30,000. Milverton has been increased over the assessment the sum of $16,065. We found the assess- ment the lowest of the towns or villages. HARD FACTS OF THE CASE. The schedule referred to as follows: Acres.

As he turned up the soil and the pld weeds, he said, in his broken way: I "Dis sour etass is ferkY pad fur your garden..

So I learned one lesson about my flower garden, which is a good lesson for other things. What we wish to "master" we must take in time. Do you know whit that word 'boss' comes from ? It is nota word leeeommend to you as it is commonly used iby workmen. Look in the dictionary, and find what its original meaning was, and see if you can think why it came to be used for master. I called my German friend faithful, and this is why: his time for begimaing work is seven o'clock in the morning; he is usually at work fifteen minutes be- fore Seven. He should go home at six o,clock it night; he does not usually be- gin to put his tools away till so -me min- utes after six, and . never idles during the day. He is not strong, is quite old, and might eaeily excuse himself for tak- ing his work easy," especially as he came to work on the understanding that he was not.strong nor vigorous. I assure you I have great respect for that man ; he gives full value for all the ',pay he has. • Boarded by Centipedes.
