Dear Expositor,—In looking over the linancial statements Of some of the municipalities, I was impressed velth the, amount of cost in Connection with the different awards of the en- gineers under the ditches and water =trees act. The sum thus needless- ly spent in many cases b,y the farmers of the county of Huron must amount to an enormous sum in a year. The question naturally arises, what is the necessity for such an expenditure where there is so little satisfaction rendered to many Interested in such cases V The answer suggested to some, W not all, will be that there are too many of those interested in the said, cases who are not willing to giveon the one hand what they would be will- ing to, take on the other, or vice versa. There are many cases where farmers could, with the use ef a :spirit level. take the levels and measurements re- quired. In difficult cases if they would,- apply to the Ontario .Agricul- tural College at Guelph, department of physics, the department wpuldeend a competent man to take the levels and measurements necessary at less, in many eases, than one-fifth the met of an engineer's award,with other charges thereto. They could then zete the matteramicably if all were any -- way reasonable. Yours truly, MAILBAN Publishe $1.. a Year in Advance.

His wife, formerly Miss Elizabeth Suther- land°, of Toronto, survives hiro, and there are etglat children, two sons and. sin daughbers, Mr. Iranian was in bis day one of the, noted men of Canada, and his name and fame were familiar in every homer No country on earth where aquatic sport was at 41 known, but- bOwedt the head to Ned Hanlan's prowl - fess, and pretty nearly every land saw hint at work in match races,, regattas, or exhibitions.

By some miraculous coincidence, no Person was killed; and only a few were seriously injured. The cars caught fire front the stove In the bag- gage room, and the baggage, post cd - rice tar, and two passenger- cars Were emnpletely ,. destroyed, together with their contents. At the time of the ac- cident the train Was elowly ascending a steep incline,- and the accident is supecsed to be caused by the spread- ing of the rails. • ' On :Friday morning last, about 1.30, the Imperial Limited Express, East bound, on the C. P. R., was thrown 'from the track by a broken rail, but this- time the passengers were not so fortunate, one woman being killed, and fourteen more or less injured, one man, Mr. Alex.
