Branca, Clerk, ROAD WORIK. To the Editor of 'rna Pori, Dana Sm,—As the time for doing Otto road work is near I think it would not be out of place to say a few words on the subjeot. We cannot ootbrol the snow nor the storm in Winter or keep the pitch -holes out of the roads, but we can improve our Summer roads and make them more attractive. A person when travelling the side roads and concessions of the surrounding townships, espeolally of Grey and Morris, if he has a mind for observation will notice that the work from first to !asthma been done in a very oarelees manner in the majority of talents and the roads made after the ztg.eag pattern. He will notice that they have been laid out without any particular rule or method—narrow and wide, oroolred and straight. 13e will also see that if the gravel happens to be coarse with chunks of stones in it it ie dumped on the road without a hammer to break the stones which makes more of a nuisance than a benefit. Our clay roads aro good in the Summer time but when covered with a lair of coarse gravel and stones hardly deserves the name of road. It is a vary easy matter if people would go to a little trouble to stelte the road out in the right place and with the right width ; twenty- two feat is the most common width, which Ieaves eight feet for gravel and seven at each side. Certainly there are places where the people have taste and take an interest in seeing & nice, smooth, straight road but it is the exception and not the rule. It would be money well in- vested if each pathmaster had a hammer, if all the stones were broken, or perhaps one hammer would do ttvo or three patlnnastors. The roads in a township ought to bo of a uniform width and the gravel well banked up to keep it in its place. Now we come to the gravel road between Walton and Brussels Which is in e deplorable state with louse atones and others Dropping up through the road, some of them as large as a horse's head. The remark has often boeu made that in fifty miles South a rougher piece of road cannot be found. It is very difficult to keep so rough a road in good repair for there is molt a drop for loaded wagons from these stones that the wheels out through. Mr, Editor, I am almost cer- taiu that any of the Brusselites who have travelled the road between Brussels and Walton will join with me in saying it is a horrible pier* of road. Now, if one or both townships would put a man on that five miles with a pink and hammer and take out what stones are stinking np through the road and break both them and the loose ones, by doing so lbs officials would at least have tete thanks of the travelling public. Yours truly, June 5, '93. Onseuvan, Presbytery a Maitland. Presbytery of Maitland met at Wing. ham pursuant to adjournment, Rev. T. Davidson, M. A., Moderator pro tern. The resignation of Rev. H. McQuarrie was taken up for consideration. Com- missioners from the Session end eougre. gatiou ware heard, also Mr. 112oQuarrie, who still pressed the resignation of his pastoral charge of Wingham oongrega- tioo. The following resolution, moved by Rev. A. Y. Hartley, seconded by Rev. A. Sutherland was carried Ttab this Presbytery iu accepting the resignation of Rev. Hector MoQuarrie, who has honorably filled the position of pastor of Wingham congregation for over sixteen years, cannot do so without marking its high respect for Mr. MoQuarrie as a man and a minister of the gospel. His worth as a wise counsellor and able preacher is so widely known that commendation from his eo-Presbyters is unnecessary ; yet we cannot refrain from expressing our gratification as a Presbytery ab the well deserved reoognitiou of these qualities by the Synod of Hamilton and London in calling him to fill its highest place of honor, viz., the Moderator's chair. As a member of Presbytery kir. Mo. Quarrie has ever been faithful in his at. bandanoe, while hie clearness of disoorn. menti, soundness of judgment and un• swerving loyalty to Ms own eousoientious ooavictioas, coupled with his deep, human sympathy and true Ohrietiau charity have ever oommanded the respect of this Court and rendered him a safe and valued couusellor in all its deliberations. In every good cease in the community his labors have been abundant, especially was the Temperance cause laid under great obligation to his ever ready, able and fearless support, and most conspicuously so when the only reward to be looked for was obloquy and porseention. As a man he has ever beau upright and honorable ; as a friend, true, faithful and constant ; as a minister of the gospel,, conscientious, fearless and without reproach. In parting with Mr. MoQuarrie the members of this Court feel they are parting with a brother be• loved. As a Presbytery we most sincere. ly and affectionately commend our brother to tho loving care and Fatherly guidanoo of the Great Ring and Head of the Church, praying that liemay be used and blessed in the Master's vineyard in the future as in the past and yet more abundantly, and that at Met our dear brother and all his loved ones may hoar from the Judge of quick and dead the promised commendation "Well done good and faithful nervanb." It was agreed that the resignation tape effect on June llth. Rev. J. L. Murray, of Kincardine, was appointed Moderator of the fission of Wingham congregation and was inetruc6- od to declare 011e charge vaoaut on Juno 18th. Mr. Murray was appointed the Presbys tery's representative on Assembly's Corn. minim on bills and overtures.
