A team must have a spare. man for the first half, as the opposing team are riot obliged to drop a man in in case of accident. Last Christmas we made mention of a large hog killed by Messrs.

The Tramp Nuisance. Tramps have become so numerous and are causing so much annoyance in Waterloo comity that the county council have taken steps to remedy the nuisance by passing the following res- olution: "Be it resolved, that the clerk of this county is hereby instructed to notify all magistrates and constables of this county to arrest all tramps and have them convicted as vagrants to the county gaol with hard labor for 30 days, and that the clerk be also instruct ed to furnish stones for breaking at the expense of the said county of Waterloo." This is hoped to make tramps scare in the county, and would be a good plan to follow in Huron. Scarcely a night passed but one or two of these gentry get lodgings from Constable Creech, and we suppose it is the same in other towns. If these men were set to work breaking stones, they would eventual, ly give the county a wide birth, . J. A. STEWART.
