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."
Yours, A CITIZEN.

Huron county abolished tolls twenty
rears ago. 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

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.

tee reported in reference to the dispute be-.
tween SA. No. 11, Hay, and Union 8.8.

Morris, and T. E. Hays of McKillop, were
appointed a committee to arbitrate in the

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.

, . LACROSSE MATCH. , ...
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.

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

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. Peaches along Lake
Erie and Lake Ontario counties were
more or less injured by the winter.
Plums and cherries are still assailed by

ern Ontario the interest in orcharding
appears to be developing. The fruit
crop is on the whole encouraging.

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. The teams are composed of

fluenced by its example, and by their own
evil desires, the Grits will gerrymander the
Tories out of sight Then the Conserva-
tive party Will get little sympathy. It will
deserve little ; but the real sufferer is the
couetry, and if for its own and the nation's
sake the Government could rise to the level
of doing right it could serve Canada and
incidentally render it impossible for its
opponents to do wrong in the future.--,
