SIR, -In your last week's issue there is an extract from the Lucknow Sentinel, entitled the "Auditing of municipal ac- counts," and your remarks thereon re- flect so much on the capabilities of townahip treasurers and township audi- tors, and also apt to have a misleading tendency on the minds of the people, as would almost make them believe that two-thirds of the municipalities of the Province are financially in irretriev- able confusion and disorder. Allow me, Mr. Editor, to take exception to only two or three of those remarks at present. And while I agree with you in the first place, that the remuneration given to municipal treasurers is not sufficient in view of the amount of security re- quired to be given, the results do not necessarily follow that they are incompe- tent or ignorant persons, but rather the reverse, as the great majority of them are men of good education and are prac- tical business men. In the second place you say that, as a rule auditors are incompetent, many of them not knowing the first principles of book-keeping. Now, Mr. Editor, the duties of a municipal auditor, pointed out in the statutes, as a general rule are not and should not be complicated or difficult to perform, as the accbunt of a municipal treasurer is a general cash ac- count, where the receipts from all sources are entered on one side and the expenditure on the other, so that it does not require a very great deal of book- keeping knowledge to examine 'correctly auch an account, and the suggestion you inake of appointing Provincial Inspec- tors might, if acted on, prove very ex- pensive to Ontario, already sufficiently burdened with hosts of Provincial In- spectors and Revising Barristers. It is going the rounds of the pres just now that it cost the.township of Culross, in the neighboring county of liruce, the sum of $475 to know that the treasurer and auditors of that rnunicipality faith- fully performed their respective duties. In the third place you say that the aystem of appointment is wrong, one auditor being appointed by the council and the other by the reeve, and that if auditors do find anything wrong in the ruanagement of the funds they are not likely to expose those who appoint and give them patronage. The system, Mr. Editor, of appointment may be wrong, but it is nevertheless according to stat- ute, and it is a fact well known to every onethat knowsanything about municipal government that the auditors appoint- ed this year examine the accounts and transactions of the former yrar's council, and it is nonsense to suppose that they would be bribed not to expose their pre- decessors who have gone outdof office and have no patronage to bestow, the pres- ent council in all cases make a final audit. I choose rather to believe that out of the great number of auditors in ()ataxic), none can be found that would not make a report according to the best of their knowledge -the want of expo - aura would inuch more likely be the case, if as you propose there would be high salaried inspectors appointed, as the patronage in that case would be rauch higher and the temptation infinite- ly greater. Now, I suppose what you believe to be true of municipal treasurers and audi- tors, you will no doubt believe to be true of school treasurers and auditors, agricultural society treasurers and audi- tors, church treasurers and auditors, arid treasurers and auditors of all the various societies throughout the Province, and according to your ideas Government In- spectors should be appointed for all these, creating thereby a host of offi- cials at a great expenSe to the country. JAMES CAMPBELL. Londesboro, Feb. lst, 1888. Silver Wedding. DEAR EXPOSITOR. -On the 18th of January there assembled by invitation at the residence of the very popular pqinty Reeve of flowick, John W. .lacques,about 130 guests, letters were xeceived from many expressing great re- p 9ret for unavoidable absence. The ol)- )(rot of this pleasant gathering was to participate iu the festivities of the cele- bration of the Silver Wedding of our very genial host and his truly estimable lady. The quarter of a tentury that has rolled by since the first Wedding took place, has brought its many changes, though mostly pleasantiand' happy ones, to this worthy couple. Beginning life an the present homestead when the country was almost entirely a vast wilderness, they have - bypersevering industry and the blessing, of general good health, succeeded in, building up one of. the finest if not thp finest farm home to he found in this truly magifi- cent township. Having a spacious and exceedingly fine house,_ and the abun- dant evidences of wealth apd plenty on every side, our friends truly intended that it would be no fault of, theirs if the numerous guests did not make this one of the most enjoyable gatherings that has ever been convened in Howick. As a mark of the great respect and esteem in which our host and hostess is held by their many friends, of ,khich numer- ous evidences have been given in the past, but none more tangi.ble than the beautiful and valuable pi:esents that almost every guest brought. with him or lier, consisting of magnificent silver cake baskets, a great variety of very elaborate butter coolers, table cruets, sugar bowls, pickle cruets, cups, nap- kin rings, butter knives, tea and table spoons, forks &c. These articles were mainly deposited in the drawing room, where they remained. during the after- noon and evening, to be inspected and admired by all. Dinner was announced at two p. m. and continued to be served until five p. m. On entering the dining room every guest could. see at a glance, that everything that money could pro- cure and the best of cooks prepare, was spread temptingly before them, and as each partook and retired they declared the dinner fit for a king. The company *ow settled down to real enjoyment of tricial talk aud amusing games and plays. At nine a• -e were again called to the dining roam to partake of tea. . If the • dinner was grand the spread was now oyeters hot and. cold, lobsters, mackerel, :ill Ilion and sardines, and a great A-Etriety of the most tempting viands made up the spread. Music, dancing and games were soon again the order, mingled with merry peals of laughter as we saw the giddy and thoughtles1 youth and the honored grey headed father and mothers vieing with each other in enjoyment of innocent games. The great skill shown by Mr. and Mrs. Jac(lues and their fair daughters in attending to the wants of the guests, will long be remembered by all,land as the company dispersed in the " wee" hours of the mtnning all expres- sed themselves as having spent hours so pleasantly, that it would cling to their memories as one of the most en- joyable occasions of their lives.

To the Editor of THE HURON Exe SITOR. SIR, -It is often said b3 fawners, or rather by some, for others know and practise better, that our wood be used -up we can burn coal. I quote the fol- lowing paragraph as proof Of how bad- ly they may be off in -country which is within haufing distan e of coal, but has little timber. Most ( f Kansas is within about the same dista ce of a forest coun- try as the older part f Ontario would be if the present sin' 11 reserves therein were exhausted, as t ey will be in about fifteen years time at he present rate of use: There was last week gre t suffering in Kansas for want a fuel. Much o that State is treeless, and wood is not to be h d. Corn is sometimes used there for fuel, but jthe crop was a failure this year, and the unfortu late settlers were de- prived of that resonree ainst the inclemency of the winter weather. In some counties the inhabitants had nothing to depend upon but a scanty and uncertain surpheof coal. Some of them had to travel, thirty forty end- fifty miles to a railway station for coal, only to find that there was none to be ' ad. The roads were worked to their utmost ca acity, yet they could not supply all who needed fuel. In one place the cars were stopped by t e citizens, who were ready to perish, and theyl helped themselves to what they wanted. Man persons have been frozen to death, and mail who have not actually perished with cold have e dured great suffering. --Montreal Star. If there were no other reason for keeping up some ock of timber, the mere need Of fuel hould furnish one. As coal is more need d -say if all our farmers need it -it ould be probably dearer, and alt all e ents would cause great troublearid fre uent scarcity by the difficultyi of provi ing for so great an extent. The mora to be found here is that all shOuld set bout either pre- serving theirlold woo lot by keeping out cattle and qiling p gaps, or plant a new one. This sprin should see a great impetus given to the t ee-planting move- ment. Your truly, R. W. PHIPPs. Toronto, Jan. 27th, 1888 Looseness in M tItodist MR. EDITOR, -Your issue of the 20th and 27th January u t., contain icom- munications ientitled s above, and:sign- ed respectively "Vers " and "Justice." There can be no objec ion, I suppose, to a discussion; under an assumed name, of a question of discipli e or policy, but when a _private citize or a teacher is attacked by name in the public press, the writer should as-ume the responsi- bility of subscribing hi proper signature. I know nothing abb t the justness or otherwise of ,the co iiplaints brought against -the Rev. Mr. urk in those com- munications and am not concerned here to defend him, but if hat gentleman de- sires to return to Ca iada and to be re- admitted to the minis ry in the Guelph conference, that pa liament will no doubt provnitself quit competent to deal with the question, an until then those anonymous writers sh uld possess their souls in peace. Thos communications, while they professedl deplore the loose- ness of Methodist disc pline, give no ex- ample or proof of si ch loosenesS, but, under cover, have a wi ;Lek at an honor- ed and popular bro her. " Justice " eyidently thinks that he Dublin street cdiagregation in GueIp 1 are a very fool- ish lot of people to ex end a call to \1r. Turk, but even if this be so, where is the /ooseness in discip ine, and have not the Dublin street con regation the right and freedom to call o invite Dr. Tal- mage if they chose o to do. In that case it would be for t at august body, the Guelph Coufere ce, in council as- sembled at Seaforth i a June next, to say whether or not they would admit the said doctor as'a minis er of the Metho- dist church and appo nt him to Dublin street as pastor, even though such ap- pointment might exel de some of those other ministers of hom " Justice " speaks as having "q ite as much brain power," etc. Then s to Mr. Turk's having left Luckno and Goderich, "Justice," by cond mning him, also condemns by implic tion the Goderich church, which with a full knowledge of all the circumstances, -xtended a call to that gentleman. " ersis " evidently speaks in ignorance as to some of his statements, and on the whole, Mr. Edi- tor, it appears to- my humble judgment that pending the actio of conference in the matter, and espe ially considering the lack of full infori ation in the pre- mises, it would be bet er to- avoid the folly'of prejudging. "He that ausWer- eth a matter before 1 e heareth it, it is folly unto hitn." As have not been Personal in this Coin iunication, I beg to subscribe myself, Y N Pat and the Ielephone. Father O'Halloran had a telephone put into the parsonage, ir connection with i the • church, the par chial school, &c. Patrick M'Fee, his r verence's handy inan,_ was instructed. in the use of the ; instrument, and it as only the next ! day, when Pat, dusti g out the church, I heard the clatter of t e telephone bell. ' Taking down the receiver he was pleased , to hear Father 0'1 alloran's familiar voice asking him something or other about his work. P t, in essaying to answer, remembered t at his reverence : N -as a -long way off, and Pat consequent- ly hollered into the transmitter at the top of his voice. " I don.' understand you, , Patrick," said the te1eihone. Pat tried again with no better su cess. On this third trial he came near splitting the tele- phone; but again e. me Father O'Hal- loran's voice, I can't -bear what you're saying, Patrick.- Pa had by this time lost something of his atience, and as he stood gathering breath for a fourth blast, he couldn't refrain fro soliloquising in a low tone, "Ah, may the divil flyaway wid the ould fool.' But Pat dropped the telephone like a 1414 potato and fell to his knees in dismay when he heard Father O'Halloran's voice once again, " Now I hear you perfectly, Patrick." A Verse. Can some one give the name of the naithor of this little poem, beginning thu: "'Vital spark of heavenly flame Quit, 0 quit, this mortal frame ! Trembling, hoping, lingering, flying, - Oh, the pain, the bliss, of dying! Cease, fond Nature, cease thy strife, And let me languish into life! Hark! they whisper; angels say, Sister spirit, come away.' A Song. # I would not have thee young again, Since I myself ani old ; Not that thy youth was ever vain, Or that my age is cold; Out when, upon thy gentle face, I see the shades of time, - A thousand memories replace The beauties of thy prune. Though from thine eyes of softest blue, Some light hath passed away, Love looketh forthns warm and true As on our bridal tlay. I hear thy song, and though in part 'Tis fainter in its tone, I heed it not, for still thy heart Seems singing to my own. Docking Horses' Tails. The time-honored question as to whether docking horses' tails amounts to "cruelty to animals" within the meaning of the statute cropped up again at Kendal the other day. In the course of the proceedings it was stated by an expert that "docking the tails makes horses stronger and firmer in their backs." Moreover, the court went some way to support this view by dismissing the case on the ground that the operation both improy-es the appearance of horses and adds ito their worth. But we can- , not remeniber to have ever heard this excuse put forward before, in the num- berless cases that have been brought in- to court. It may be, therefore, merely one of those ancient traditions, similar to that which credits the piercing of human ears with producing a beneficial effect on human eyesight. The matter is of present moment, because the twist- ing off of cows' tails is again becoming prevalent in Ireland, and we may pos- sibly have the practice defended on the plea that it improves the milk. What it Costs to Smoke. Last year the losses by reported fires in the United States reached a total of $120,000,000, or an average monthly loss of $10,000,000. This is regarded as an enormous waste, and is largely due to incendiarism and carelessness. How to reduce the amount so lost is a matter of constant study. Legislatures, local governments, and insurance companies make regulations and exercise the great- est care to prevent tires. Aud yet the loss they occasion is $60,000,000 per annum less than the amount paid by consumers for cigars, and $86,500,000 less than the total cost of tobacco consumed in smoke. Last year tax was paid upon 3,510,898,- 488 cigars. The average smoker is con- tent with a cigar worth $30 per 1.000, or one that retails at five cents. On that basis there annually goes up in arnoke $180,000,000, or $15,-0'00,000 every month-lialf a, million dodars every day. In atddition, boys waste on cigarettes $6,500,000, and those who prefer a pipe a further sum of $20,000,- 000. How many smoke? If we deduct from the total population as non-smokers all children under fifteen, constituting 40 per cent. of the total population of 60,000,000, it leaves 36,000,000, of whom one-half are females. Deducting these gives a male population, above the age of fifteen, of 18,000,000. If eix out of every ten males above the age of fifteen smoke, it (neaps that 10,800,000 persons consume 3,510,898,488 cigars per annum. This is less than one cigar a day. The average smoker, however, is not apt to be contented with a daily al- lowance of one cigar, demanding at least two. If the latter basis is the nearer cOrrect, the army of cigar smokers would be 4)80974499 being 8 per cent. of the total population- above the age of fifteen. Whatever the num- ber of smokers, it -is a moderate estimate to place the cost of emoking to the people of the United States at $206,500,- 000, If the cost of chewing tobacco is added, the total expenditure for tobacco reaches$.'256,500,000 ; that is, a sum that represents a per capita tax of $3.44 per annum. -American Grocer. Watch the Boys. "Papa," said a thirteen -year-old boy the other day, as he looked np from a New York daily, in which he had been absorbed for half an hour, "Papa, I'm going to read the paper every day now. I wish I had read it ever so long ago. I didn't know it was like that !" "Like what ?" inquired his father, -surprised at the flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes of his boy. "Why, like that !" pointing to a wood -cut. "It's ,better than Cousin Dick's detective stories, for it's real. They did do it, you know, papa, and they have to go to prison for it ! It is ever so much better than made-up stories. That fellow who robbed the store was smart, was n't he, papa ?" "Smart "-that was the idea received of a burglary. And that was the first time a Christian father had brought close home to him the bad influence of sensational journalism. Consumption Cured.
