In New Brunswick each voter may print or write his own ballot. There is no official Lallot-paper. Fach vot er is at liberty to prepare his own ballot, and to write on that ballot the names of the candidates for whom he votes. All the law stipulates is that it shall be of white paper. The usual practice, however, is for each arty to print its own ballots. If there are four candidates on each side in the constituency, and there are in some, each side will prepare print- ed ballots containing the names of their four candidates. Electors can get these: béfore they enter the booth or afterwards. # a doulftiul up to the polling booth, he is given a ballot as he en- ters, and the person interested may watch to sec that this particular piece of paper is deposfted in the bal- lothox. It is only a shade better than open voting. The Leasing Of Farms. : - Glenburnie, Jan. 26.--James Dunn proposes working his place, having bought some stock. J. Walker and J.
