An ex-. change recommends the making of rhu- barb jelly. The following is the way in which it is prepared : Take some rhu- barb, wipe it with a clean wet cloth, peel it, and cut it into pieces an inch lung. To each pound of rhubarb add three- quarters of a pound of white sugar. Put it to boil for about ten minutes," or un- til the juice is weil drawn. Strain it into a preserving pan; let it boil quickly until it clings to the spoon; skim it and pnt it into jam pots or moulds. The quickest way to know if it will set is to drop a little on a plate to cool. Those in this section who so cheerful- ly gave their goods and money to relieve the distress caused by the Michigan bub fires will be interested and pleased 3n know that the whole face of the o,untry has changed wonderfully during the past few months. An excellent crop of hay has been nearly all secured and the grain crops are in capital condition. Mating a liberal allowance for possible contingencies, Mr. Stirling thinks that the grain harvest will equal that of an average year before the tire. Comfort- able and connnodioua school houses are everywhere replacing those which were burned, larger and better barns have been built where the old ones stood, and the future looks bright again for hun dreds of farmers' who were in despair less titan a year ago. -[Ex. o fait. hell mean( •iLt f' totes.

We are under obligations to Mr. Hayward for the following MEMO, OF WORK DONE IN OoDERICtt. No. of weights inspected 413; of these 113 were short weight, and 6 over weight. These were subsequently veri- tied upon being adjusted. No. of mea- sures of capacity inspected 156. These do not include a number of wino measures which were found in nee and were seiz- ed and destroyed. No. of lineal mea- sures inspected 17. No. of equal arm balances inspected 47; of these two were rejected as being unjust. No. of steel- yards inspected 6. Of these one was seized and destroyed as being unjust.

The towns of Seaforth and Clutton are the only other places in this county' that have had a second general inspection, . and the results average the same as in Goderich, and other places in the Divi- sion. n. It has been said that there is nothing certain but death and taxes. We know of nothing wore unpopular. Even though we all admit that we should ren- der unto Cteaar the things which are CO3- ear's, it is not without a grout and • wish to escape the titbute teat we hand But the demi, i,),) to the tax gatherer. TAX Cd•LLECRCtt IS UNPOPULAR he is only so in his official capacity; and who is ma willieg to sacrifice his 'dislike to taxes if he has the collecting of them? There are many taxes, geueral and special. The town collector gathers in the annual municipal tax - the money we pay for the privilege of owning land, of ltavtug personal proper- ty, of educating other pcoi.le's children if we have none of our own, of drawing our income, and, forsooth, o1 bearing our own head about with us. The Fed- eral Government taxes the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the b oks we read. 7HERE ARE SPECIAL TAXES, TOO, paid by the brewers, the tobacco makers and others, who deal in things injurious to those who partake of them, and that eases the conscience of the statesmen who govern us, because it keeps the ob. noxious trade in the hands of a privileg- ed few, and erings'•in hard cash for re- venue purposes, Then the interests of the public must be protected against unscrupulous tradesmen, and the inspector of weights and measures is called into being, and the nun who sells by the pound, the quart or the Tallon must have his weights proved and his measures tested, and pay the Government im part for the protec- tion this inspection affords the public. The duties of such an official are out generally understood. He le looked up- on by many as a sort of official leech, as odious to a tradesman its the publican was to a pious'Jew,but when it is known that the inspector has NO PECUNIARY INTEREST in the result of his teats, but is paid a fixed salary. perhaps his position will be uiore appreciated.:: However, we don't know of any patriot who wouldn't take a similar office to -morrow. In a recent conversation with Mr. W. J. Hayward, Inspect..: of \Weights and Measures for Windsor Divisen. who with Mr. Marentette, Assistant Inspec- tor, is performing his duties in this town, we gleaned a few facts regarding 1 their work which are interesting. The Division comprises six counties, viz: Essex, Kent, Lambton, Perth, Huron and Bruce. A general inspection takes' place every two years, when a thorough test of tvnaa WEFi:HT AND MEAsURt1 used in the division is made and fees charged, varying in price, from 5c to to 15e. A reduction of 25 per cent is made on all scales, etc., found to be correct on any subsequent general in- el.ecti•,n. THE Tilt"E AS WELL AA THE FAL-E weights are charged for when tested, and this u the point that is most unpopular with the honest tradesman. If any scale THE CIVIC HOLIDAY. richt lone libelee from a Veined ere- arastutc. Tuesday next will be ubeerved as s civic holiday in tiudeiich, and a choice of places to spend the day in is offered to pleasure seekers on that occasion. THE ORAND TRUNK will issue excursion tickets to London and return at 81.50, and to Buffalo and return at 82.50. The traits will leave Goderich at 7.30 a. nt. As the Buffalo "tickets are good to return on regular trains' till Thursday, those who choose to .visit Niagara Falls have ample time to do so. London tickets are good only for August 29th. The return train will leave London at 5;50 p. m. _ -BINUH AH't+ UROVE will be the attraction to -those who du not wish to.take advantage of the excur- sions. The 1. O. O.
