The office of Pathmaster is of very much more importance than most people suspect and municipal coun- eilors not unfrequently uuder value the importance of the position 1n making their appointments. How fow Pathmasters really understand the duties of their office and how many act as if their appointment to the office gave them a claim to do the work of the beat not where it is most required or likely to do most good but simply where it will best suit the whims and convenience of themselves and thelittle clique with whom they are surrounded, this pet sidewalk or that favorite portion of road must receive the greater share of the outlay and attention while places of much more travel and vast. ly more importance are neglected and allowed to become almost im- passible. Some Pathmasters go in tor side walks would not pat an hour's labor on the highways. The highway along Simcoe street from Borelia to Prince Albert Is a case in point, this road fe fast becoming impassible and no. thing is being done to prevent it, A few years ago this street was in good condition and a very little at- tention yearly would have kept it in good order, bat' it is being neglected from year to year and will soon be in such a condition as will require alk the work of the beat to put it in order. To make bad worse the sides or ditches along this street are being neglected the only work being done on them is per- formed by a couple of starved hogs which from day to day pass along the street rooting ard tearing up the ditekies and wallowing in the mire and filth which lie and rot on the roadside the season over, to the diseomfort of the passers and danger to the hea'th of the parties who live in the wicinity. There is not the slightest difficulty in making this diteh 80 that the water will not lodge; a couple of hours work could accomplish that and it would re- main in order if the wretched hogs were kept off the streets. Ilogs onght not to be allowed to goon the roads a single day, whenever found on the public highways in our villages they ought to be im- pounded at once and their owners firod severely for allowing them [to run at large. The brates can get no benefit on the highways and the only purpose they can serveis to fi'l up ditches, arrest the flow of water, tear up and destroy the. road eile, encourage the growth of weeds, destroy the grass, and de prive the cows of the pasture they would o'herwise have. If nothing else will do parties who per- sist in allowing their hogs to run the streets ought to be indicted as nuisances and the pigs confiscated. It is the duty of every Pathmaster in the interest of the highways with: in his beat, to ree that no one with- in his beat be allowed to let hogs run at large. -------- A Highly Satisfactory Result. It must bo highly satisfactory toa vast majority of the people of North Ontario to learn that the Grit con- vantion held in Cannington last week, to select a candidate to contest this riding in the interests of the party at the next election for the Dominion Parliament has thought it best not to place a candidate in the field. We are not curious to learn what induced the party to adopc this wise and judicious course; we know nothing as to the business transacted at their meeting and have no business to enquire. Un=- Ike our rather silly cotem, we em- ploy no spies and would scorn the garbled report of a sneaking traitor who should seek to turnish us a re- of a convention where we were not wanted. All we know is that ro candidate was put in the field, and in this the party has displayed - sound judgment and mo small degree of sagacity as no benefit could arise from bringing on a contest in this riding ; it would entail a world of trouble, much expense and accom- plish no good eni. Mr, Gibbs has ~ represented all partsof the riding "and all exclusively and! to see him look so well, certainly w nctive and cheerfal than he does now; the labor of the long scssion just passed has tended to udd energy to his already abundant supply. | There can be no reason why Mr. that the constituency should be thrown into the turmoil of an election contest without the slightest pros- pect of gaining anything by it.-- None, we presume, will seck to deny 'that Mr. Gibb's ! course has been such as had for its object the best inferests of the Do- North Ontario in partienlar, his large. The Season's Doings. So far as the present season lms gone ap. pearances are magnificent, In fact it would be difficult to conceive otéinything more gorge" ous than the prescut robes that nature wears. Vegitation is vigorous, luxuriant and en. eouraging. Our fruit prospects are all that could be desired, grass never looked better aud nn abundant crop of hay is all but assvr- ed while we have every reason to look for good crops of grain that is as far appearances gonow, We question very much whether the vegetable world of this province ever looked 80 well and so encouraging on the 22nd day of May. The little cold snap the blow but as much has been loft in most places as ean be | ronght to perfiction and unless somethig very unusual tak - place our country will be blessed with a great and plentiful supply from nature's store, the produce of our farms shall fill our barns and storchouses, And such glowing prospects ard by no means confined to Ontario, from everywhere on this continent glowing ac- of nature's bounties. A writer in the New York Sun says:--* The greatest wheat crop ever raised in the United States is now head ing out all over the West. Both in acerage and in yicld per acrre the winter wheat crop will be fully a third larger than ever known in that country, By June 2it wheat will have been haivested in Kansas, Indiana, and Southern Illionis, and by July 1st in North- ern 1llinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michi- gan." Another authority from Chicago says ~-- "Wheat will drop t> 60 cents in Minnsotta this fall, to 85 cents in New York, and I be- lieve that we will be eble tolay it down in Lievrpool at close of §1 per bushel." With the rich prospects alt will agree but asto the probable price pothing can now be predicted nian outbreak of an extensive European war will mould the markets in its own way, and such a war is all but certain, when European nations will want all the grain that we have to spare and will be ready to pay such a price ns will secure it-- It may be too soon to predict the the extent and quality of the coming harvest, but it is neither premature nor risky to predict a dreadful European conflict close at hand, m-------- Terrible Smart. There were evidently some parties trying to scare us into unnecessary expense and trouble by bringing theFenian pillagers again to the surface and ennble them to extort in. creased contributions from the simple dupes who contribute of the fruits of their toil to maintain in idleness and luxury a pack of vading Canada or anywhere else than they have of gaining theicown livlihood in au honest way, Now the cunning dogs have it circulated that thousands of them are diill- ing in Chicago, that three thousand well drilled and armed to the teeth are prepared to leave the Pacific const in an hour's notice and that almost every city in the States Ling its quoto ready waiting to join the great army, then we hear the exact number of the invading host set down at one hundred thousand men ; now we are told that they sre actually mustering on the frontier, that the Vermont border is swarming with them ready to pounce on us at any moment. To complete the farce some Fenian writes a ing him to prepare against the immediate attack of a large invading Fenian host, and the better to succeed in his rascality he signs hitgself 3 W. James, O.

McLean's. er ---------------------- The Ot*awa Government's Legacy The city of Montreal had a short time ago ! come fo the determination to employ for a wanted, nothing said of paying for it, turned a! period of three months, fifty additional large portion of it over in the barn yard for policemen with a view of preserving better order in the city, and Thursday last being the day on which said appointments were to Ye made there were no fewer than five Lundred applicants for the fifty places, and the majority of these were active, intelligent, respectable men, many of whom were at one time in an ordivary safe way of Joing. Is this not a sad comment on the vicious rule of Mackenzie & Co. which has so paralized our every interest that the precarious posi- tion of supernumerery policeman can' bring out 500 applicants for 50 appointments, -- Mr. Mackenzie had better not say much of these feats when he seeks to beslobber the workingmen of Toronto, It was agreed that the fifty men should be made up of 256 Frenchmen, 13 Protestants, and 12 Irish Catholics, The Frenchmen were the first to enter and the scrutiny was somewhat sharp; the applicants were fo numerous the selectors were sancy and the slightest objection was fatal to the applic. ants. The length, breadth and thickness of the applicants were first ascertained with the greatest accuracy ; their age, weight, birthplace, and religion were next searched into, The Montreal Witness gives an outline of the inquisition. One party had nassed the measuring tests and manipujgions all right and appeared elated over his success whe the chairman asked--Que faitez-vous? To which the applicant replied :--Jz teins une maison de pension. The chairman nodding says : Oh, allez vous-en, on ne paul prendre que ceux qui n' ont pas d'emploi. Another poor fellow has passed untainted through the whole and was just marching off to join the favored few who had been chosen when the chairman called out Arretez ! The trembling applicant stood still. The chairman says " Etez vous marie? Applicant-- Non Monsieur. Chairman--Oh, allez-vous en, donc ; on n'a pas besoin de vous. Such are a specimen of the ordeal through which the poor applicants were subjected and the very small hole through which they ha dto creep. ---------- T Oranges and Lemons; all kinds of frit and vegetables in season, at L.
