CANADA NOT IN IT.—Many
otherwise well informed Americans
are quite as ignorant of our laws as
they are of our constitution. On
another page will be found some
pertinent remarks by Mr. Ryan,
contractor of the Canadian "Soo"
canal, showing the dense ignorance
that prevails among Americans con•
earning our relations with England.
They cannot understand how Can•
ada can make her own laws and yet
be part of the British Empire, And
yet they can see each State making
ites own lawe while remaining a part
of the United States. True, Can-
ada has more enlarged powers than
any American State, but thie only
proves the more comprehensive sye-
tem of constitutional government

ish Empire. Messrs. Manning and
Scott, barristers of Clinton, have re-
ceived an unique letter from a law-

cheaply as in Chicago; if it was
necessary to notify the defendant,
and other equally trifling matters,

LAW ABOUT ESTRAY ANIMALs,—
The laws of Ontario provide that
a person taking• up any estray stock
shall give notice of such taking up,
by publishing a notice three times
in a weekly newspaper, if one is
published within the section
where Lite estray was taken up, and
if the property is not called
fur within three weeks after
the first insertion of the notice
the finder will go to a Justice of the
Peace and take oath to the finding
and advertising. If the property
istnot claimed within one year and
should not exceed 850 in value, it
then belongs to the party taking
the same up ; if over $50 .1'b tall
be advertised by the ,&!sties area.,
sold, and the excessdfiall be hand-
d.over to the t,luuty Treasurer.
Any 'arson tut ,g up an estray
and negQtru'g the sate+o to
be advert,sed and.. appraised
shall be liable to fine a of $20. Tho
estray laws apply also to any other
personal property which may bo
found in like manner. It is also
necssary for the person taking up
ths estray stock to notify the clerk of
the municipality in which he re-
sides, giving a descriptiou of the
animal, the date on which he took
it up and any other particulars that
might serve to lead to its owner.
If parties would keep this notice
convenient for reference it might
frequently save them much trouble
and annoyance.

THE APPLE CROP.—Mr. H. Poter-
son,fruit empoigtek, Colborne, writes
—It is perhaps a little early to
give au accurate estimate of the
apple crop for the present season,
but from what 1 have seen in going
through the country, and reports
received from different sections, the
following is as accurate an estimate
as can be furnished up to date.—
Nova Scotia has a 20 per cent.
larger crop than last :year. Ont-
ario has 10 per cant. more than
last year, but the apples are not of
so good a quality, many being
spotted. The Now England States
will have a larger crop with a bet-
ter quality than last year. New
York will have from one-quarter to
three-eighths of a crop, and in some
few especial sections, an average
crop, while Michigan will have
from one quater to three-eighths of a
crop. Southern Illinois will have
a few apples, but nothing like and
average crop, and Missouri will
probably not have over three-eighths
of a crop in Kansas and while the
Nebraeka will probably be light.
However, I would advise shippers of
the uncertainty in estimating the
crop at at We season of the year, as
each week reports dome in showing a
variance in certain sections. I
would remind shippers that Messrs.
James Adam, Son & Co., of Liver-
pool, have agente at Montreal,
Portland, Boston and New York,
who look after consignments, secure
space, and see that shipments go
aboard earliest steamships in best
