ance saved the child's life.
SUDDEN DEATH. - On Wednesday

kie, died very suddenly. She had been

denly and never spoke afterward. She

DIVISION CouRT.-JudgezDoyle pre-
sided at the Division Court held on
Friday last. Only two cases were de-
cided. The first was Diehl vs. Snyder,
for hgar�tl; pasties.gesi4le,at„Bi tcefleld,.
and juskjhent was given in favor of
defendant. The, ice case of Steep vs.
Fitzsimons, tried at a previcus court,
was again tried, and decision given by
jury for defendant. The legal repre-
sentatives present were Messrs Scott
and Brydone, Clinton; Proudfoot and
Campieratt Goderich.
FRUIT SPRAYING. - On Saturday
morning last Mr W. F. Farrell, of
Grimsby, came here to give an object
lesson in fruit tree spraying. Notwith-
standing the short notice received,
quite a number of persons interested
herein, assembled at the farm of Mr
Weir, Bayfield road, were the opera -
'tions were carried on. An ordinary
barrel, with force pump attached, was
used. The pump used in this inst$ne°
was Conductor Parker's patent, a
double -action pump, and it seemed to
have even more power than was nec-
essary. Two pounds of blue vitro]
were first of all dissolved in warm wat-
er and then added to the barrel -full of
water this being sprayed upon the trees.
The only object of this test is todestroy
fungi which are on the trees, andas
the season advances, other tests are
made. It is expected that the next
one will bo on the Oth of May. Mr
Farrel gave those present all the in-
formation he could, and is evidently
well -posted in this particular branch of
horticulture.
STREET WATERING. -Some time ago
a committee was appointed to solve, if
possible, the difficult problem of the
street watering. It was felt by many
of the business men that the system of
the past was an unsatisfactory one,
but to devise and get into operation a
better cne seemed impossible. It was
thought that a frontage tax might
meet the difficulty., and for this pur-
pose the streets were measured off, but
when the plan came to be considered
it was fourid unworkable. A special
meeting of the council was held on
Friday evening to deal with the mat-
ter. Mr Jacob Miller agreed to water
the streets as long as desired during
the year at $400, (hitherto they have
,� cmr�yy been watered for four months at
'$300E) The method of raising this
amount was then thoroughly consid-
ered. A resolution that the town
should pay the whole amount was lost.
as were motions that the council should
pay $125 and $150; finally, a s a com-
promise, a motion that the council
should pay $200, and the business men
the balance, was carried and the work
is being performed to the relief of all
who were annoyed by the dust.
NOTES. -On Thursday last Doc.
Blackal], V. 8., dehorned 19 bead of
tattle for Mr Gould, 7th con. of Gode-
