The those who made the discovery that the boy had been ernelly murdered by the cook, who Lad then endeavoured to conceal his crime by choping up the body of his victim, and barrelling it up with pork that the shantyâ€"men were to eat.

The cook fled, and another man wss deâ€" puted to fill his place. A few days later on going to the barrel of pork to remove some of the contents he found to his horâ€" ror and amazement a boy‘s hand between two pieces of pork. â€" Further investigation showed that the barrel contaivned a number of pieces of human flesh, and the horrible conviction foreed itself upon the minds ot, "Not at all. You see, and there lay the whole secret, the injured leg was of wood and we replaced it with a better one." **No more than beforeâ€"there had preâ€" viously been a slight hitch in that leg, but I think there was less afterwards."

F. , and ré- I Mr. Myles explained that this was not his intention, and stated fully the import ance of repairing roads extensively travellâ€" ed, some of which were now in a very bad state. . _ Mr. Blyth thought the most good would be got from the money if it was raised by . the township and applied directly to the ‘ roads. The people would feel the in portance of applying the money to the best advantâ€" age if they raise the money themselves | The county roads had served a good puarâ€"! pose onee, but the people had gone heavily into debt to build railroads, and hence the gravel roads are not travelled as they once were. The roads had been built by the county and kept mp while they were of county importance, and now that their useâ€" fulness to the county has gone, it was not too much to say to the townships that they ought to support and run their own conâ€" it was plain from the speeches of Dr. ’Christoe, Mr. MacRae and Mr. Myles that their mea was to get more for a gravel road in a township than that township had raisâ€" ed by the levy proposed, and this, he eaid was very unjust. He thought the idea of theee gentlemen was that the County Council should expend the money on the roads where they pleased, thus taking the matter out of the hands of the local Reeve 1 andâ€"Dep. Reeve, Dr. Christoe was in favor of the amen(» ment, and gave the opinion of the City Solicitor of Toronto that the county counâ€" j cil could not throw their responsibility in j the matter of deviations on former county ; roads upon the township municipalities,and | stated that if any rcerdent took place on snch deviation a suit would be brought against this council. Dr. McGirr thought that if scheme wore got up for making leading roads county property aghain, no more ought to be spent: in each township than the amount levied from such township. | Mr. N. Read said there was no trouble in getling St. Vincent ratepayers to agreo to votmg enough money to keep their gravel roads in repair, and their gravel ronds were consequently in excellent conâ€" dition. So that, so far as his township is concerned the amendment proposed would not make much difference if adopted. But Mr. Chisbolm denied that the day of the | 'fi' ;ndllium'i“pofi'm s .:I..T?L‘_'“M He sard loads of' The Council adjourned till 7 p. m. _ _ Mr. MacRae was in favor of the amerdâ€" i ment. â€" He thooglt it a narrow,contracted view to take, to refuse a grant to a leading road, just becauso members might live in another part of the County. We were a travelling people, and our interest was bound unp in the main roads. This counâ€" cil ought to take action in the maitter, for no satisfaction was to be had co far in askâ€" ing the opinion of lawyers as to the respec tive liability of county or township counc‘ls ; in case of accident. ‘ Mr Myles thought the amendment would be of advantage to the county by seâ€" curing good leading roads, and by doing away with local jealousies which were sure to amse if township money was used to reâ€" pair a road which happened to be convenâ€" ient to the Reeve or to the leading councilâ€" lors. ’ Council went into Committee of the whole on this report, Mr. Stark in the chair, when Mr. A. B. Lang moved in amendment to the 1st clause that a levy of baif a mill in the dollar on the assessment be raised for the purpose of maintaining the leading roads in the county, and read a statement of the amounts this rote would amise from each municipality. He said that if left to the townships the gravel roads would continually get worse because enough ratepayers in a township containing alead â€" ing roud were not sufficiently interested to ‘ vote large enough supplies to keep the road in order. / ’ Mr. McGirr complained that it was not | fair treatment of Father Granottier‘s acet.; | th@t if the agreement had been handed ’ from member to merber, and finally lost, it was not father Grranottiors fault. Mr. Lang stated that he had seen Father Granâ€" in bad ottier, ani committee would bring in report on the matter later, Mr. A. B. Lang reported, at the request of Mr. MacRae; that the bill of Rev.

Lang, seconded by Mr. Thompson; That the reâ€" port be referred back to the Road & Bridge Com. to amend the first clause so ar to provide for the support of county roads, This motion was introduced for the purpose . of recording the yeas and nays which stood as follows: The committee rose and reported, and the adoption of the report was moved by Mr. Lawrence, secomied by Mr., Melntyre, After some further discussion by Mr. Chisholm and Mr. Mylesâ€"the latter sup» porting the appointment of an efficient man, as sometimes lawsuits had heen lost by employing a surveyor who didn‘t un derstaad his businessâ€"Ar. Bing‘s appointâ€" ment was earried. Mr. Kerr supported Mr. Sing‘s appoint» ment because of the scientific plans for bridges he had in his possession. . Bridges erected from his plans in some of the town< ships had coet much less than every one had supposed, and proved strong and durâ€" able. Mr. Clusholm did not see the use ofa Oo, Surveyor when we had no gravel roads and there was seldom county work to be done. The Council divide1 on the question, with tho result that the proposed amend:< menuts were lost, and the original elause of the report adopted by a vote of 22 to 16. The second clanse of the report, recomâ€" mending appointment of J. G, Bing as Co. Burveyor, was opposed by Mr. Howey, who moved in amendment that there be no Co. Surveyor; Mr. Clark showed the saving to Keppel of some $700 since the gravel roud levy was discontinued. His township would get no benefit from the gravel roads, and the people thought they conld make their own roads at less expence than the county could. Mr. MeGregor pointed ont the injustioe to Proton also, as the gravel road in ths township was almost entire} y unused, Mr. MeKechnie thought that if the scheme carried, snch townships as Keppel and Proton ought to receive a fair Apprus priation from the amount levied, to supâ€" port roads as they gee fit. Mr. Totten objected to the scheme, suggested that if the discussion contin the promoters would meet the sume as the Kilkenny cats, as they seemed t disagreeing _ among themselves, thought the scheme would be very un to Keppel, Mr. Thompson spcke in favor of the a: ,mendment. MHe did not sea what trap any member. could think he saw in the scheme proposed. _ He snsi=ted that the gravel roads instead of being used less sinco the railroads were built, have netgally been nsed more: and that the scheme was not one merely in the interests of Owen Sound and . Merford, but would benefit the townships fargely, He asserted that the ratepayers of St. Vincent _ as wel as Meaford wished the gravel â€" roadg kept up by the conncil as before, Mr. Cameron moved in n the amendment, seconded 1 That the sum of $10,000 be lending roads, to be laid o needed.; 20 20 2200E Coe CCommeoror | the Co.

The Wardensaid his constitnents in §t, .

Mr. Dunnington objected to the afhome; He pointed ont that the Co. Couneil might have a differont idea from the township ratepryers as to what were the leading roads. â€" There were roads in Sullivan much more travelled than the gravel romi, ard the people wanted to say what roads should be improved, expended T MPG w 3 80.Az io Abng each township would only get as much spent in it as it had supplied by the levy proposed. Mr. MeColman pointed ont that the township of Colling wood now expends more money on the long stretch of gravel road running through it than used to be y Li es 4 .

He thoucht the money would be spent to best ndvantage on the roads if raised by the township,especially if renvily Aocmult q e c PC ‘ expenditure, Mr. Howe pointed out that all the concéssion lines aud cross roads centred on the gravel roads in going to market; hence the wear and tear on the gravel roads was much greater than on back roads, necessitating greater @Â¥man in on it while under the control of seconded by Mr. MeBRae , as they seeimed to be § themselves.
