The regular meeting of the Towa

.t.Sieveral communicatione were . re
ceiverl and emne came in for a good
deal of discussion. A. petition from
mine of the ratepayers on itattenbury
Sto. west to have the granolithic laid on
the inside of the trees and another
petition to be.ye it laid on the outside
elicited a Mai other of queer facts.
Some had signed both petitione, -from
which it was evident they would be
on the winning eide which ever way
it went. Strong objection was taken
by the "inside" men to some names on
the "outeidb" petition, it being claimed
they had no legal loght there.
Mr Searle wishecL the sidewalk on
the inside of the trees and peinted out
the disadvantages of haying it on the
outside. A, walk on the outside would
' be inunediately above the outlet of
many chains ; many would thus be
shut off. Moreover as the draine were
made of wood, there would ulthnately
be a cavern and thereby destroying the
-sidewalk. There Was also the difficulty
of obtaining a proper approach.hy hay.

PRIME= IN A Ellas.--lhe following
despatch from North Bay appeared in
Monday's papers: "Mrs A. Oockerline
and her little four year old daughter
were burned to death -at their home
about 12 miles out in the country-, and
.her live year old boy was so badly
burned that there is little hope of his
recovery. Mr • Cookerline • was absent
from home, and When Mts Cockerline
and the children retired for the nighty,
a lamp Was left burning. on the table,
and it is supposed the lamp exploded.”
The above refers to thefamily of An-
thony Oocketline, it former resident of
this neighborhood. Mr Oocketline iv it
brakeman on the 0. P. R., and was
away on duty when the • unfortunate
accident happened. Mrs Oockerline is
a native of Smith'e Falls, and Wag mar-
ried to Mr Oockerline about Seven
years ago. Since their Marriage they
have resided at North Bev, until thin
sturipler, when, Owing to Ilire Cocker -
line's poor health, they moVed out in
the country, where it was thought the
air would be more beneliciai. Mr
Cocaerline has the sympathy of many
Mende here in his misfortune and be-
reavement. Mrs John Kennedy,, of
Blyth, is it sister of Mr Cockerline, and
R. 3. Cockerlines• of Morris, is it condo.

(By the Editor.)
There are wavered places that oall them,
eeleee "the,garden Canags,"and poesibly
in eonte respects tech may be entitled to
the distinction. The people of Huron think I
they oat; raise the aunt apples that are
grown in Ontario. and they know that

other part of the Provinoe, so that in ao
agricultural mose,Haron and ite contribtne.
Ing territory might be called "the garden of
Ontario,. Although there are other modem
thet dispute this claim.
But when it cornea to the liaising of fruit
generally, that re, other fruit than apples,
Huron is not it with some portions of
the province.
The Mama district ha e long been noted
for tbe excellence of its Irene. Outside the
district itself people have formed the ides
that the chief fruit grown in thie section is
the.peach, and that here it readies prim -
tion, and is grown in unlimited quantity,
it is true that the finest peaches are grown
here in abundance -in a peach year -- and
the peach receives more ettention and care

perusal, the followinrfaots and surmises"
are presented for the netters' consideration,
but more especially for our farming friends.
If One formed their corminsions' from

claim would be that the whole of this ter-

' That the farmers depend ranch More on
fruit than grain raising is quite evident,
havirg the advantage of soil, Ithautte and
aodess to market, and many of the farms -
50 Or 100, sores - are almost wholly given
over to knit Of .various kinds. • 'Some of the

not gone into stook.raising tethe extent
they have in Huron. There are virtually
no bank barns hereabouts, skid cattle and
'Sheep are not shipped to market to anything
like the same ,extent they are in Huron.
They have gone into hog raieing, but pay'
little attention to other classes of stook. '
St Catharines is tbe only place of impor-
tance between.Hamilton an the Palle, and:
to certain extent becomei "a fruit oentre"
Jordan, 7 miles west, is a place Of sboat
500 inhabitants, and ships fruit deity by
boat' to Toronto, •while Thorold ships by

Let us take St •Catharives and its 'sur-
roundings,. which includes also the Grime -
by section, as the basis of observation.
About one-half of the farm' land is devoted
exclusively to fruit -raising. Strawberries
are the first crop gathered, and the "plot"
will run from one to:fivenores. This year
the yield has . been particularly good -
thon$1; it is nearly always a good crop -as
eraging about 3500 qiiiirto to the aore. The
price for picking is one cent a box; optimum.
in the early.part of the season pickers tan
make •much more than later 011, but the
price. tor picking remains the mime, the
pickers not being. paid Anal the creation is
oyer. When they first come inthe berries
fetoh 120 a box, and gradually. go down to
ate. They never go lower than this, be
osneethe canneries; pay this Price for them
It is an interesting sight to go on St 'Cloth-
arinee market and see the apparently ex-
haustless supply of beautiful berries,ellich,
if not sold retail, go to the canning fao-
tories. Taking the yield of 3500 basket
quarts per acre, and striking so average
price, it looks like a Profitable industry, af.
tee dedaoting incidental octets, and no doubt
is, for the fanners are going more and more
into the rolling of Mem: ' The extent of
the osuning industry maybe gathered from
the fact that each factory, during the berry
season, will put up a thousand orates of 24
basket quarts sioh, per day, and the bust -
nem is snob that many farmers build their
demoorat vraggone eo thet they will he'd
just so many orates: A orate holds 24 bas-
kets or boxes,and each basket or box is sup-

damp weather being the cause of the length-
