Weeds on treets.
Along the sides of any of Wingham's
streets are thickly gr ' n with weeds. In
many places noxion: weeds are so thick
that it is impossible o walk on the side-
walk without coral in contact with
them, and for a lad her skirts are ren-
dered untidy by : ebbing un against
them. There is it ping that gives the
town a more unsig tly appearance than
to have the street: thickly grown with
foul weeds, burdo. cs, etc. On some of
the streets the pro. rty owners go to the
trouble of keepin the front of their
premises in good rim, but it is not
satisfaction for one an on a street to
do this when the of rs allow the weeds
and grass to grow. e think a by-law

A G od Story.
The late Mr, stice Lount was al-
ways fond of a j ke,and his good humor
was contagions Au anecdote about
him is being re -t Id. Iu days gone by
he was a young I • wyer at Barrie, where
also Mr.D'Arcy ..oulton had a law office.
Mr. Lount, in d 'wing bome one dark
night when the 1.ads were blocked with
snotv,ran over a alf. The farmer de-
manded $10. No having that amount in
his pocket, Mr. '.uut told the farmer his
name was Bonit Vin, of Barrie,aud to can
and see him. 1 dne course the farmer
called upon Mr.: ouiton,then a candidate
for parliament, ut he iudignautly denied
responsibility. The farmer then took
legal advice f om Mr. Lount in entire
ignorance tha he was the real delin-
quent. Loan undertook to "see" Boul-
ton, to whom le addressed the follow-
ing weighty gumont: That no doubt
the farmer w mistaken, but au election
was coming . n, etc. Mr. 13oniton paid
up, and at the next county bar Mr.
Lount told t e whole story with great
enjoyment.
