This re- duction in the dross number is not so signiacant as le°the statement showing that the falling off is wholly in brood mares and 'colts. The reduction was 18,000 under these heads, but there was an increase of over 14,000 in work- ing horses, so that the net decrease all routea was, as above etated, less than 41:090. ,8 44110 4.the?..^,4144, #10:1 311444‘,'.; 0 n'ed dat 10 Ix Waieatiainaireitie'defe86;000i • x x x Leas than a year ago arrangements had been made for laying a new sub_ marine telegraph line across the Ablate- . tic. • To -day we are told thet 1,600 • miles ofthe wire has beea manufactured, that the Faraday will sail on Wednes- day for the purpose of beginning the work of laying it, and thab the new cable will be in operation by the first • of July.

The extent to which we are oyer -governed could not bs better illus- trated than by thetteefigures. x x x • The quantity of live stock held by farmers in Ontario continues to increase, ' although the advance is not all thab could be deeired. From '86 to '92 the number of cattle increased by 11,000, horses by 110,000, hogs by 130,000 and sheep by 100,000, while an advance ot 110,000 was made to the poultry stook of the Province.

The dog question has always been a vexatious one to the commeaity at large, and especfally to municipal coun- cils and assessors. Notwithstanding the vigilance of assessors and. other municip- al officials to geb all .the clogs duly as- sessed, about 25 per cent of these anim- als never pay any taxes at all, until the country has become over -run by a lot of worthlees GUTS. Why the assess- ors have failed to tiab all the doge in his ward or the munieipality was from tge act that in order to save the tax the public haye been acting dishonesbly by disclaiming ownership, When the as- sessor was expected or came around some of the clogs were hid in the cellar or tied up m Ofl out house, or if they happened to be around the owner dis- claimed all ownership, end claimed the dog belonged to a relation in some other part, or to a neighbor, and was only stopping there. In this way a very large percentage of the doge were never reached. In villeges, is an excellent example, the etreets are fairly swarming with mongrel curs -that are not worth the dog tax and never pay a cent. Rural' municipalities are in the same tin These toeless unpeide curs only make night hideous with their yelpings and Moon serenacles, hut packs da theni go out into the country districts end worry and destroy valuable Reeled of sheep. Within the last few yeers the number of sheep kept by farmers has declined some 40 per cent. Of course if ,every municipality would follow the plan to confiscate every dog not found with the municipal tag there would soon be a riddance of all that were not worth paying one dollar a year in taxes, But such supervision is not peacticale in country parts where a large area of territory would haye to be gone over to Bee what dogs were duly tagged. However, a bill is now before the On- tario Legislature to amend the Act to impose a tax on dogs, and for the pro- tection of sheep. By this t he person becomea responsible if he harbors a dog or has him. sbeying around. The amend- tnent proposes that - "The clerk of ovary municipality shall annually furnish eleh assessor with print. ed forms of declaration acoording to the form set forth in schedule A to this Act, and sash useesor enall require every owner, eoseeesor, keeper or harborer of any dog a or bitch, eor eseme grown-up persou upon the premiees :000upied by sok possessor, keeper, or harborer who is conversant with the 'acne to melte a solemn ,deolaeatiort according to the said form of the number of dogs or bathes owned by him or /barbered upon his or her cremates, and such auessor for such purpose Mall have full Power flua Ile is hereby authorizel to aarninister mush solemn doolaretioa, %/id toe eyery negleet by the mouser to do so, or refusal by the owner, keepee, parouser or harborer, or in hie or her abeence, by the persoe fore - said in eltarge of the promisee to do Noon& for every false statement made in reaped thereof Ouch assessot or other person ellen upon summary oonyiceon be or a jus - nee df the peace be eubjeet to a Penalty of tot less than $5 nor Mere than 020 to- gether Ncith canto of proecootion, to be recovered in the reeemer peetidedby The Act eeepeoting summary convietioxie be* foe Justices of the Peace ana Appeale te General Seesiorte," Ilia latter $1,6001292, an increase of • $152.080 in reveriae over last March, add el $80,105 hi expenditure.

Sir Bichard. Cartwright asked whether, in view of the faot that the Minister of Finance had declared that he had expected a deficit in the revenue for the current and ertoceeding fiscal year, the Government in- tended to ask Parliament during this sessien for a vote of $720,000 for a fast Atlantic service. • Hon. Mr. Foster said that if Sir Richard understood that he had stated that he ex- pected a deficit: as between the revenue and expenditure for the fiscal year he (Sir Richard) was mistaken.

Tonwro, April 9.-Prestitiont Van Horne hi an interview gives it as his belief that the price of wheat will continue to rise foe the next two eeasone, and that within eighteen months the oriee will be $2 a buthel. In this connection Mr. Van Horne "Let year the raisers of wheat at best received little better than the cost of pro- anciug, -while in -many instances their re. turn per bushel was smaller than their ex- peuclitare, This can have only one effect, the discouragement of the wheat producer and consequent decrease of the acreage. Now, if there is a decrease of 10 per cent. in the production of wheat this year, owiern to the low prices of last•year, there will be a shortage of two hundred and seyenty million bushels and ten per cent, of decrease is well within the mark. As far as I can reniember there has never been a enrolee of a hundred and fifty mil- lion bushels. "This year the surplus has been used up by feedingit to stock. and we will prob- ably i start n with as nearly a cleen sheet as ever before. New, if there is a shortage of (-ally a hundred and fifty millionbathels, this will not be discovered until it is too late to sow more wheat, and wheat will go up with a jninp."
