may be destroyed by cutting the stocks
three or four inches below the ground.
The burcdock is a biennial growing one

abominable weed but yet the easiest to
handle if taken in hand as above men-
tioned. If municipalities would thee
cut all the burdocks, in two years there
would not be any left. Now is the time
to nut them ; they are soft and die easily.
Blyth ought to try this plan.

—Euchre is a game of chance and
not skill, and is not permissible at least
in hotels in Oxford county for the good
and sufficient reason that it is contrary
to a regulation passed by the license
commissioners of that county. This
wits the opinion of the magistrate at
Ingersoll, is also the view of Chancellor
Boyd and Mr, Justice Ferguson in e
judgment handed down on Saturday in
the case of Cook ve. Laird. The deci-
sion upholds the conviction and fine of
Hotel -keeper Laird, of Ingersoll, for
violation of the regulation allowing
euchre to be played in his hotel. That
conviction had been annulled by the
county judge, who allowed the appeal
of the hotel -keeper. But on Saturday
the informer and the crown triumphed,
and the conviction is restored with
added costs against the hotel -keeper.
A dissenting judgment is given by Mr.
Justice McMahon, the other judge of
the divisional court which heard the
appeal. So the case will likely reach
the highest provincial court in $eptein-
bar.

—The 1903 voters' lists for Blyth are
now in the hands of the village clerk,
Mr. N. 11. Young, for distribution.
The total number of voters in Blyth ie
279, divided as follows: Entitled to vote

—In some of our townships, cattle,
sheep and pigs are allowed to run at
large on the highways, and the question
is often asked, in ens° damage is done,
who is responsible? In reply we may
say that our provincial courts have al -
read decided this poiut ; the owners of
all domestic animals running at large
are responsible. The question of per-
mission for animals to run at large by
bylaws of the council does not change
the damage of responsibility so far as
the law is concerned.

Kincardine townships. North Ontario
that the Liberals made such sport of in
the bye -election wont be in it with
this bent bean -pole. The candidates
who have to stump this riding will have
a great time making a estivate The
electors will have a great time await-
ing returns from St. Edmunds and
Lindsay before learning who be elected.
—From last week's Lucknow Sentinel
we take the following account of the
marriage of a young lady well-known
in Blyth "The beautiful residence of
Air. and Mrs. Fred Grundy on Wheeler
street in this village was the scene of a
very happy event at high noon on Wed-
nesday last, when their third daughter,
Miss Bertha C. Grundy, was united in
marriage to Mr. Rosa G. Fraser, of Big
Rapids, Michigan. Only immediate
relatives of the contracting parties
were present, and the ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Dr. Murray, of
Kinoardine. The beautiful young bride
was the recipient of many valuable gifte
as a token of the high esteetn in which
she is held in the community. The
happy young couple left by the 2.30
trent for Toronto, followed by the good
wishes of a large circle of friends for
their future happiness,"
—The municipal enterprises of the
town of prillia have been recently much
commented upon, the town having op-
erated ite own waterworks since 1888
and its own electric lighting plant since
1887. More recently-, however, the

the town has its street lighting free

all the munipipal Buildings.
