aud the owners subjected to fine for infraction of the cow bylaw our laws must certainly be observed but we think it- is due to farmers that any person finding their stock wandering into the vil lage should unless they have committed depredations of some kind turn them homeward instead of marching them off to the pound thus causing thtir owners unnecessary trouble and expense the farmers inthis vicinity will not wilfully allow their cattle to run at large and risk them being impounded but sometimes when they are let out for water or a breach acci dentally occurs in their pasture fence they happen to wander into acton and arc im- mediately driven to the pound and put nndcr the lock and key of the loundkeepcr the law is certainly a just one aud all wiifal violators should be punished but discretion should be observed in impound ing animals which arc accidenlly astray new school books we have just received from messrs james campbell a sons toronto advance sheets of their new reading books for the public schools which they have christened the royal readers although there are many objections to a change of books in the public schools we think the time has come for the retirement of the series at present in use as they are certainly very much behind the demands of the present age there is much about the royal readers to commend them to a favorable consideration by the canadian public the illustrations are beautifully executed and cannot fail to interest the pupil the selec tions have been made with care and com bine a variety of snbjects hitherto unintro- daced into the readers now used in ourcana- dian public schools canadian authors were not overlooked and there appears to be a strong desire that canadian sentiment should prevail with those who learn from the royal readers since a change is necessary we hope to see the royal readers come into general use arciitectoral messrs pailiser palliser a co bridge port ct tlie well known architects and publishers of
