MR ED/TO/S.-4n response to your call for opinions with regard to cows running at large on our streets, I ana one of thorn who think they should be prohibited; not that I dislike the cow, for I fully realize hew much we all depend upon her. I bave al. ways taken an iutereit in the town, and have tried to observe what is going on. I belie there is a desire in the hearts of our people to improve and beautify our streets, but it would only be a waste of time, with owe running at large. I believe, Mr Edit. or, if our council would pass a by-law pro- hibiting cows at large, inside the corpora- tion, you would see such a, change in our town in a few years, that would cause us all to exclaim; "How did we remaireao long in the dark?" As Mayor Doherty said in one of his nicely worded inaugural ad. dresses, "give us more flowers and less cows and dogs." RATEPAYER. DEAR Sin, --I want to endorse every word you've said about cows at large. They're a "cussed" nuisance, and no mistake. I've wondered for a long time why we've had to tolerate them, and can't for the life of me tell, even now. To shut them up in a pas- ture field would do no harm, but would do good and guard agaipst possible damage. The plea that it would militate against the poor man is no good, for the man who can own a cow is generally able also to pay for its pasture. By all means shut the animals up, and don't wait until "the sum- mer is past and the harvest is ended."

The cry of the toll -gate ad- roeate was that the roads would be ieglected and the rural districts would le taxed highly for their maintenance. elle after 20 years of free roads the armers of that garden section would s soon go back to tallow dips as to toll pads. --Hamilton Times. Yes, and the fanners of Huron would ooner go back to tallow dips than the ther alternative. Further, the roads s Huron on which toll bars were for- terly stationed, are in a better condi- ton, we venture to say, the year round, ban any others in the province, and he cost of keeping them so, is such a 10re/rat it causes no concern at all. The County Council has passed a r e- a elution asking that at the next muni- eipal elections a vote be taken in each enunicipality on the question of having a House of Refuge. It will cost little or nothittg to do this, unless, there hap- pens to be no election in a municipality whet the vote will not be taken, and will give an idea of the sentiment in t aie county concerning this vexed ques- t :tni. We hope that an election may • Id necessary in every municipality, so it a test vote may be taken in each. e leas lotg been a crying shame to uron that it had no place wherein its 'aged poor might end their days, with - but the (Ante of ‘ebeing in'jell," and ey.e luipeMi 8ip1eseicin' of opinion so strongly favorable thereto will he giv-; tan that tire Ciatiiityi lthaltiitil' WM See ita clear id .04 profilist erettiOn Of it act. They, were much pleased with the courtesy of the members, end their practi- cal knowledge of drainage matters. The commiseion informed the committee that a set of qestions would be prepared and sent to each member of the committee and others giving evidence, so that such ques- tions can be considered and answers sent in before they complete their report. The commissioners considered the meeting at Clinton the most profitable one they had held. SPECIAL COMMITTEE'S REPORT.—The Stet- utes-provideethatein-wmunieipality-liiefing bridges over 100 feet in length, the county may relieve such a municipality, on appli- cation of the council thereof. The town- ship of Morris, being so intuited, made application to the county for assistance, and the special committee recommended that township be required to furnish a list of bridges, and the amount spent on them during the past ten years, and when this information is obtained, tbe clerk is to correspond with the clerks of other munic- ipalities for the same information. ROAD AND Ben:ewe-The committee rec- commended the erection of a new bridge on the gravel road, north of Londesboro, that tbe Road commissioners report be adopted. EDUCATIONAL CObIMITTEE.

JAIL INSPECTOR'S REPORT.—Mr ChallIber- lain, Inspector of Prisons, reported that when he visited the jail there were nine prisoners. The jail is in a poor condition, and ought to be remodel' d as soon as possible. In future, when old people are committed to jail for vagrancy, they are not to wear the prison garb, but suitable civilian's clothing must be provided, if they have not aufficientiof their own. GRAHAM'S BRIDGE, WINGISAM.—The COM - mittee appointed to 'inquire into the re- sponsibility of the county in connection with this bridge, went over the ground very fully, and recommended, that that on the township of Turnbury undertaking to build a suitable foot bridge and relieving the county of any further responsibility, the sum of $300 be granted to aid in building said bridge.

A match between the lacrosse clubs of Goderich and Clinton has always been exciting, but at no time was it more so than on Wednesday afternoon. when the above teams met on the park grounds, for the first time this year. Both teams are in the western district of the Western League, and the match was the first of a championship series. For three weeks the dead -game sports (sorry to have. to include ladies in this all-round expression) have talked of ahnost nothing else. Every move of our team being carefully watched, each practice game gave the critics a chance to say something. Nearly every one of the fair ladies,and their number is le- gion, could tell whether the boys were in good shape, or whether Spaulding was going to captain the boys, and we heard many remarks of satisfaction, when they knew for sure that Dr. Shaw would be referee. So when such interest was shown it was no wonder that a large CI owd braved Old Sol, and witnessed the game. The ladies showed their pleasure just as much, when Clin- ton scored, as did, the gentlemen ,pree 'OM- and -trVIIii.untIess-W-Oilla have been "very mean," the ladies said, had they not won. At 3.30 the boys came on the field, 5 1 the Daunts looking well in their jer- ° seys of red and old gold, with blue e knickers; the Goderich boys Being easi- 5 ly known' because of their diversified t a c h the only untavOra,ble conditions are noted in COMMON) le'itb late -sown grain and that put in upon low-lying, lindrabled. lands, ,con the whole,' pre - Sent conditions 'mint to a iirst-clasS crop Of fail wheat, Warm weather, how- ever,; being very desirable and neces- sary, as a very rapid gtowth of straw as taken place, and the continuan of wet weather would came great loss from drowning out and from lodging.

Smarm WHEAT.- Of spring Avheat the Lake Erie counties report most damage from rain in the west, with improvement in condition as we come east. The condition of this section at present is only fair. While the spring wheat can on the whole he considered in hardly as good condition as the fall wheat, the present prospects are up to the average, but its success is now de- pendent upon continued warm weather BARLEY. -The barley acreage is still decreasing. The present condition over the Province is fair but backward., with the prospects of...a very much de- ci eased total yield unless the weather soon becomu esandcontines more fans - able. OATS. -On the whole the condition of oats is better than that of barley, and should the weather be favorable for the next few weeks a more than average crop may be expected. PEAS.- The reports as to peas are necessarily incomplete, as owing to the lateness of the season sowing was still in progress in many sections. HAY. -During tbe past few weeks the hay crop has made wonderful progress owing to the continued rain. .A heavy yield is assured. The appearance of tirnothy was perhaps never better. Faun's. -Vegetation appears to be about a week backward. With but feW exceptions the accounts regarding apples were most favorable. Peals promise well.

The Patrons of Industry of Huron and Perth are getting up a monster excursion to the Guelph Model Farm, on tbe 24th. Mr John G. Troyer, has sold his 50 acre farm whioh is situated on the town line east of Hills Green, to Mr Thomas Coleman Mr S. Sperling, of St. Marys, shipped from Exeter station on Monday two car load of hoga. Upwards of 630,000 were paid out to farmers. Mr William Bubolz, of Tackersmith, has just purchased from Mr John McGregor, of Hullett, near Constance, a thorough -bred Holstein Fresian bull, two years old. Messrs. Coleman Broe. S ea forth , celebrated thorough -bred trotting stallion, Dick Wilkes, died on Tuesday last. The animal was the best in the Dominion and was valued at $6000. Mr S. Copp, son of Mr William Copp, Seaforth, was so unfortunate as to have the thumb of hie left hand broken a few days .ago and it has since been found necessary to amputate it. Mr J. W. Walker, of Turnberry, had a teer killed by being struck witireightning ne day last week. A horse also felt the ffects of the electricity, but recovered in a hort time. Rev. James Harris, a former pastor of he Methodiat church, Benmiller. has neerannua.ted this year and having pur- based a residence in Guelph will make his ome there. costumes. The Hurons were much heavier in weight, and generally bigger than our boys, who, with one or two exceptions. are juniors. After the cus- tomary fooling around, and grand- stand playing, the boys faced off the ball. The game was very rough, and a good many thought that it was the Huron's fault. The crowd of admirers from Goderich, which did not altogether represent that town's best element, -helped-to-make- it -TO -Ugh -by their lan- guage and quarrelsome ways. Many on each side received hard knocks, and all will be sore, physically at least, for a few days. The Dauntless certainly had the best of the game, for they much excelled the Hurons in combina- tion play, in checking their opponents, and in general play. Some of the Hu- rons were individually very good, but they never combined, and often were late in checking; they frequently lost good chances by holding the ball too long. For the Hurons, Graham, Ben- zies and Runciman played a gentle- manly game, and by their splendid playing were favorites with the crowd, while Blackford made himself objec- tionable to the better class of the Gode- rich people, and to the Clintonians. As for tbe Clinton boys, it would be unfair to mention awe names particu- larly, because each played splendidly. Some of the boys were at their best, and each was good in his position. Perhaps it would not be out of place to compliment James and Ross on the game they put up, for they did good work.

We regret to announce the death of Canon Patterson, of Stratford, on Saturday last at the advanced age of 75 years. He was one of the pioneer olergymon of the churoh of England in this section, his district covering feom Haysville to Gode- rich. In the early days he prepared a class of nine candidates for confirmation by the Bishop and the rite was celebrated in Fowler's hotel in Harpurhey. The people of Walton vicinity were pain- ed to learn of the very sudden death of Mrs George Campbell, of the town line, east of this village, which took place on Thurs- day of last week. Mrs Campbell was at church on Sunday previous and was around attonding to her duties as urinal on Mon- day evening and was heard to remark that she heti not felt better for years. On Monday evening sha took a severe and sud- den chill, followed by a high fever, which did its work in a remarkable short time, and despite all that medical skill could do she passed peacefully away on Thursday.
