longthreatened writ re the new cemetery to make the matter more interesting perhp totltoalgossipen three of the councillor i were also served with oopies of the yrrit while the other councillor who is perch woe a friend of the unknown plaintiffs in he case was con- veniently passed over rheattention paid the three councillors wi s however imae- oessary and to bay the least absurd for heoorporton was justi a effectually served through the clerk as ii every citizen had been individually sura noned and- all the cocillors occupy one osition with refer ence to the action and iieir ixsponsibility as public servants whe her served or not who thsr real plaintiff 5 are the writ fails to disclose possibly the public will see them brought out from the sackground before the case closes keith r is the reason gfor we action given or the nature of the grounds upon which the opart is requested io restrain the cbrpdration from estab lishing a public cemetery on tbe property named recited this particular part of the unreasonable affair is bhroudcd in darkness but that thej corporation of the village of acton is the defendant in the case and that the taxpayers of the municipality willibeoi bbb si f mtimm jots hwift which tb oanidian paclno rail way j tee to pty jjjhe goktnment biok ihe omiooq loan before uty lit j the ipringuke weather has brought out a large uuttber of spring hats and bonnets and it vasipainful to opserve how man of them vere surmounted by btuffed birds the ta ite for such decorations ib worthy of a sava e race it is jatiiiiated that five millioi s of songsters are destroyed auuu- ally in north aroerici alone to gratify the harbai io vanity of snob women as cltlight in this sort of thing the pulpit ajud the press should unite their influoncei in a jorusftc e against a fashion so cruelly de struct ve and so scandalously vulgar world j the council of tile agriculture and ar avocation has petitioned the dominion parlis merit to pass a law making the sale or imj tortation of oleo butters and obeese permissible ouly vheu the packages are stamj ed as auoh it appears that consid erable quantities of this stuff afe being im ports and sold iii this oountr for

heavy tariff u n them both of cbtoms and of inland re tqronfc venueiifhra caluuuaii mr to bear the wliole of the villages share of all expense incurred is ver clearly and unmistakably setforth rumor gives currency to the presumption that the action ariseafrora the claim that the county council illegally excluded thatpor- jtion of land now known as fairview cetne- jtery from the village of acton but we have it upon tbe highest legal authority that alt the proceedings connected with the separation on tbepart of both acton and j the county councils were perfectly legal and in strict harmony with the statute there seems no other reasonable ground for action at any rat we fail to see where any citizens rights have been infringed by thev opening of theaevrcemetery or how l any injustice or injury could possibly occur at any time in the future through its loca- tioa tbepubeo willrbeinuob inclined to conclude that the whole trouble is the result of unedforjealousyand perhaps person al dislikes the inatfer is very much to be regretted for in any event the corporation will be put to considerable expense in de fending itself and the property belonging to it and we believe the authorities are taking a course in which they are fully justified by facing the matter boldly with counsel of eminent standing at its back by this action the authorities are putting them selves in a position to intelligently defend the rights of citizens against the tampering by marauders of public peace and order it is really deplorable that this matter should be brought into confusion again it was made an issue at the polls at tbe recent municipal election and on that occasion the ratepayers spoke in the most decisive terms in favor of the new cemetery and the committee who had superintended the work connected therewith in considera tion of this it was generally and very natural ly concluded that there would be no further tried dling with the question then too a considerable sum has been expended in putting the cemetery in proper condition for public use and when a revenue of some moment is about to be derived in favor of village finances the matter is again stirred up yenly it appears as though the mal contents would delight to see the whole expenditure thus far incurred thrown to the i winds there is this satisfaction in the matter however if it can be called a sat isfaction that in addition to their heavy expense for entering and conducting the case the plaintiffs whoever they may be will be called upon to bear a share proportionate to the value of thedirrespeetive properties of as expenditures that may be incurred bythe corporation in defending the suit they have nothing whatever to gain and they run a great big chance of becoming responsible for the costs of a case in the high court of justice and afterwards pay ing their share as- ratepayers of tbe whole cost of defence and the necessary expenses connected therewith the whole matter of agitating objections to the opening of a new cemetery during the past four or five yeaxshas been an exceedingly silly and unreasonable piece of business it has air ready cost the corporation some hundreds of dollars and this last action is the most shortsighted of them all the malcontents who are interesting themselves will eventu- ally learn that their whistle was very dearly paid for a year in abeyance the scott act cannot be enforced in fron- tenao till 1887 v though an orderincouncil has been issued declaring tbe scott act in force in frontenac yet it canirot be enforced until itay 1887 it was voted upon and carried may 1885 thftneglect in not publishing the enforcement of the act lies in the state department the scott act people say therecan be no excuse for an omission that practioally neatraljzes the labors of the temperance men they claim that it waa at a large expenditure of time and mbr toey accoinplished what they did bfmriatednesif it is fbto soine jmembers have

series of m ubns covering this whole matter and t will also not be surprising if i these moti us prevoke a discussion in which a little more radical sentiment respecting the hief executive office of
