 'JW'S^f^T^' 'l^'^J^^ ^^'WJ- 41 ii i The Standard.. MIRKDALE, DEC. 7th, 1882. THE T. G. B. RAILWAY. A. year ago last Saturday the guage of the Toronto Grey Bruce Railway was changed from that of 2 feet 6 inches to the prt-sent standard guageof 4 feet 8 J inches. The grand iin))rovements which our highway has un- dergone during the past year are well wor- thy of nete. The bridges which were all â- wooden have been replaced with substantial stune and iron structures, the track ballasted, new ties put in and steel railed throughout, new rolling stock proviied, the stations re- moddled and re-painted, additional sidings laid down, snow and wire fences erected, be- sides many minor improvements, making; the road one of the best now in Canada. The majority of the train officials and station agents hold their old po.sitions with credit to tliemselves and no doubt satsfaction to the company, and are noted for being courteous and obliging. The road is now an indepen- dent hie, but what changes may taks place e'er another twelve months roU round time will only tell. STRAY CATTLE. A subscriber writes to us requesting in- formation concerning stray cattle. As we are frequently in receipt off similar requests, we propose to give a summary of the law re- lating to the.ee matters. Properly speaking all stray animals should be taken to the nearest pound-keeper, but stray horses, bulls, oxen, cows, sheep, goats, pigs or other cattle, may be retained by any person, providing no claim for damages is made, and due notice of their detention is given. The owner, if known, must be notified in writing. If un. known, the Clerk of the municipality must be supplied with a written notice, containing a description of the aniaial. The clerk is required to enter the notice in a book to be kept for the purpose, and to post a notice in conspicuous place, on or near the door of his office, for one week. If the animal is worth more than SIO the aistiainor must also pub- lish a notice in a county new.spaper once a week tor three weeks. The distrainor must feetl the animal, and can recover value for the .same, as well as for time, trouble and at- tendance. If the 'stray' is not claimed with- in tlie time mentioned in the notices, an affidavit to that affect must be made be- fore the Justice of the Peace, and notice* of sale given The sale lan be conducted by any pound-keeper, but not by private indi- viduals, and the animal must be sold by auction. Notices of sale for pigs, goats or sheep, may be given one month after the animal is taken up though for horses and other cattle the notices may not be issued until after two months. All charges are de- ducted from tlie amount realized by the sale, and the surplus, if any, must be paid over to the Treasurer of the municipality. If the charges of the distrainor are disputed, any fence- viewers ^re empHswered to act as ColUingwood Enterprise, thre arbitrators. © aw 88p:andenx)8. XoiiCK. â€" We wish it distinctly understood that we do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents To the Editor of the Standard. Dear Sib.^I wish through the medium of y )ur paper to call the Ettflntion of our citi- zens and community at large to a matter in which all who take any part in the prosperity and advancement of our village both morally, • intellectually and commercially should feel interested. It was with regret I heard afew days since a billiard saloon was about to be open- ed in one of our business places in this yil- ;e. Now, sir, from aU I have heard and 1 arned about such places of amusement they are the roost dangerous and hurtful to till, morals of our youth that could bo estab- lished. While it is pretended that only ^^musemeut of an innocent sort is engaged " in, it is here where the temptation to" drink 1 and gamble is presented, and the unwary youth is t'lus lead from one to another in ^Tire. I sh-idd thiik we had plenty of temptations at present in our midst calcu- lated to lead the young of our rising town and country astray without the establishing and licencing of a billiard saloon. I hope and trust that the heads of families for the sake of their families, for the sake of their buys, in whom their brightest hopes are ceu- terid, will lefrain from patroniziug anything of the port. Remember on your shoulders will rest the responsibility if you fail to puard }our boys and warn them to ahun such places of amusement. The late un- happy stabbing affray which has scandalized â-  nr village was the result of a quarrel at the bi iard or bagatelle table. Our village has uccome a byword throughout the country on account of the acts of violence and violation of law in our midst. Liquor is bcins; sold with impunity without license. Licensed loaves v,ho nominally close their bar at 7 o clock on Saturday everiing are found sell- ing at all hours after that, and even the sacreduess of the Sabbath is v.olated by the St lling of liquor. New, Mr. Editor, what is the usf of h license inspector, or what are they paid for doing, when sttcb a si^ate of af- fairs is in our mid»t? I reaUy hope the people of this village who wi^h to see the viUage prosper and law and order maintaiued â- will aaite as one man and compel the ol servanoe of the law in this respect, or peti- tion jie withdrawal of licenses from those who thas jiereist in the violation thererf. If a mau commits m'.irier or steals he is bnaik- iiig the law. Think yon, could he repeat that week after week and not be brought to justice Trusting I have not uitrudeu too luUcii on yc/ur space, I am, yours. «tc.. ZsKOPUKK. A VEXED CLEBGYMAN.
