It would have e most beneficial effect in more ways than One. lin Ontario Legislature will meet for the transaction of business on November 30th. This will be an eventful session es it precedes an election and the actions of the Government will be closely scrutiniz- ed and criticised by the opposition. It is to be hoped the latter will introduce the many charges they profess to bo holding in abeyance and have them investigated. Failing to call the Government to order their utterances will be regarded as mere babblings devoid of fact. WE believe bbe passing of a prohibitory Cow By law would meet with approval in Brussels. In the first place there is such a law now in force fora portion of the year ; 2nd, the Statute puts it within the power of the G. T. B. to close out roam- ing cattle ; and 3rd, it would pay the cor • poration to grant a good share of the cost of pasturage for these bovines and there. by save the large yearly expenditure in broken sidewalks. Another important consideration is the cost of fending. If cows were excluded from the right of be- ing free commoners fences could be done away with and money thereby pub into the pockets of property owners. The old objection about the "poor widow's cow" has about disappeared and the chief reason that is urged for the continuance of the old role is that grass will grow along the sides of streets and make walk- ing uncomfortable, In many places where sows are not permitted to run at large the fences are removed and the sidewalks placed outside of the shade trees and the intervening space converted into a lawn which adds to the attractive- iaess of both adjacent properties and the street as well. If any of our readers de- sire to see how this state of affairs appears they should visit Wingham and we feel satisfied they will be well pleased with the result. IETseesx in. the improvement of streets and highways grows apace and is evidene• ing its existence by practical results and there is abundance of room in this Locality to continue the good work. The intro- duction of the grading machine has wrought a marvellous change, even in Huron County, and an illustration of how it improves roadways may be seen on the gravel road through McKillop township. In addition to cutting off the raised edges of sod and earth so as to allow the free escape of water to the ditches the centre of the road is nicely orownsd and by the application of a good coat of fine gravel this road has been put in almost perfect condition, The difference between the road above mentioned and that of the same highway further North is very pain- fully noticeable. We don't suppose there are any very good reasons why what was done through McKillop could not be dnpli- catedbetween Walton and Wroxeter and the sooner the test is made the better. From years of hard wear in many planes the centre of the road, instead of being crowned to readily shed the water, is hollowed so that it is impossible in the Spring and Pall to keep it drained and as a consequence the heavy teaming soon outs ruts, and the rough stones speedily manufacture mud holes, by the aid of the wagon wheels and instead of it being a pleasure to drive it becomes the opposite and is wearing to harness, rig and driver. The Good Roads' Movement in making a move in the right direction in placing at the disposal of the general pnblio all in- formation ab their disposal relative to the most modern means of improving on the old plan followed under Statute labor and while not increasing the expense to muni. oipalities a vast anal permanent improve. reent may be arrived at by concerted notion in adopting the plans indicated by them and tested beyond any peradven• tore. If every Mnuioipal Connell will use a grading machine properly and put gravel instead of rocks or sand on the centre of the road bed the day of good roads is not far distant which will be hailed with pleasure by all who use the Queen's highway. The sbreets of our towne and villages are also in need of it different course of treatment than that in vogue and we are pleased to notice the example sot by Wingham, Blyth, Olin - ton and other places worthy of emulation by those who have not initiated them. This week wo supply our town readers with a readable circular fasted on this Much to be desired condition of Waite and hope it will boar fruit. nen Ti se e TY C.

On Wednesday night of last week the olotbing store of B. F. Brook, at the Lis- towel Woollen Mills, was broken into, and readymade clothing to the value of about 880 wee carried off. The burglars gained an entrance through the window at the rear of the store by breaking a pane of glass and undoing the fastening, which enabled them to raise the sash. Three heavy overcoats, four coats and as many pairs of pants, also several pieces of under-olotbing are missing. Dir. Skinner, having failed to carry out his agreement to install an eleotrio light plant and supply the town with seventeen or mors aro lights of 1600 candle power at 445 each per annum, the Council, at the meeting held on 'Monday evening of last week, decided to accept the proposi- tion made by W. II. Green, of Wingham, which is to pub in an electric light plant and light the town with twenty-three arc lights of 2,000 candle power, at 543.48 each, which is equal to 81,000 per annum. If there was any reason to doubt that the town would have been well lighted had Mr. Skinner gone on with his contract, with the six additional lights and the increased candlepower, there can he little room to question the efficiency of the proposed lighting oontraot, if carried out. As Mr. Green has the reputation of being a square and upright business man, and who has bad considerable experience in electric Lighting, it is altogether probable that the present electric light scheme will go through and that the town will have eleotrio light by the date agreed upon— the lith December. %Viet ham.

AN INTERVIE W WITH A COLLEGE L'YESIDENT. 111s Many Duties Caused 1115 health to Break Deavn-lir. Williams' Pink pills Restore Dint to Activity. Prmn the itepublican, Columbus, Ind. The Ilartsvllle College, situated at Hartsville, Indiana, was founded years ago iu the interest of the United Brethren Olmrch, when the state was mostly a wilderness, and colleges were snares. The college is well known throughout the country, former students having gone in- to all parte of the world. Prof. Alvin P. Barnaby. A reporter recently called at this famous seat of learning and was shown into the room of the president, Prof. Al- vin P. Barnaby, When last seen by the reporter Prof. Barnaby was in delicate health. To -day be was apparently in the beet of health. In response to an in- quiry the professor said : "Oh, yes, I am much better than for some time, I am now in perfect health, but my recovery was brought about in rather a peculiar way." "Tell me about it," said the reporter. "well, to begin at the beginning," said the professor, "I studied too hard when at school, endeavoring to educate myself for the profession. After completing the common course I came here, and grads'. ated from the theological course. I enter- ed the ministry end accepted the charge of a United Brethren church at a email place in Kent County, Mich. Being of an ambitious nature, I applied myself dili- gently to my work and studies. In time I noticed that my health was failing. My trouble was indigestion, and this with other troubles brought on nervous - nese. My physician prescribed for me some. time and advised met ha ee o try a o age of climate. I did as he requested and was some improved. Soon after, 1 same here as professor in physics and chemistry,• and later was fivaneialagent of this college. The ohangeagreed with me, and for a while my health was better, but my duties were heavy, and 8 115 I found my trouble returning. Title time it was more severe and in the Winter I became completely prostrated. I tried various medicines and differeet physicians. Finally, Iwas able to return to my duties. In the Spring of 1806 I was elected presi- dent of the college. Again I had aonei. derable work, and the trouble, which had not been entirely cured, began to affect me and last Fall I collapsed. , I bad different dootors, but none did me any good. Pro- fessor Bowman, who is professor of nate- rai science, told me of his experience with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and urged me to give them a trial, be- cause they had benefitted him in a simi. lar case, and I oonaluded to try them. "The first box helped me, and the second gave great relief, such as I had never experienced from the treatment of any physician. After using six boxes of the medicine I was entirely cured. To- day I am perfectly well. I feel better and stronger than for years. I certainly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to similar sufferers and overworked people. Raymond Hannan, the nine-year-old son of James 10. Hannan, formerly em- ployed in the undertakiug'business in St. Thomas, will spend the next nine years of his life in the Industrial School at Mimic°. He received that sentenoe on Wednesday of last week by Itis Honor Judge Hughes for being an unmanageable and incorrigible youth.

After a business experience in Brussels of 20 years I desire to return my hearty thanks to the Public for their liberal patronage and at the same time to state that I am in a better position than ever to sell good goods at low prices. Having two stores, one in Brussels and the other in Seaforth, and consequently buying in large quantities enables mo to purchase a great deal finer than I could in the past. You must not compare prices of 5 years ago, or even 1 year ago, with what they are to -day, and I assure the Public that it will - well repay them to call and see goods and get figures, even if you don't buy, I cannot give a list of prices here as I carry such an endless variety of goods consisting of FURNITURE of all styles from the lowest priced to the best. vrogro The largest stock of Pictures and Picture Framing goods ever shown in Brussels may be found at my Emporium and they are rys�ollJd� at half the old price.
