Free Trade in Meat. The butcher licence question, which caused so much dis ussion a year ago, is again stirring our little community to its profuundest depths, and. with the exception of one or two interested per sons. everybody appears to be in favour of free trade in meat. What Mr. Coch- rsue's present opinion on the subject is we do not. know. but Mr. Austin, our predominating butcher, is so strongly in favour of the licensing system that: as soon as his old license expired he went to the village clerk, paid for a new one, and now (we are told) says that he is all right for another year. We don’t know whether he is or not. The coun- cil, we presume, can repeal the butcher by-law iftliey see fit ; and the fact that at. the meeting on Monday evening they laid OVcr Mr. McLeod's application for a license proves that they are undecided about. keeping the by-Iuw iti force. Our Opinion is exactly the saute us it was last. year, viz, that. the sale of meat ought. to be as free from restrictions as the sale of all other commodities is. Why should dealers in flesh meal. be protei-ted more than dealers in dry goods or groceries ? and why, if a butch~ or may sell groceries, as Mr. Austin does. may not a grocer sell beef or mut- ton without paying specially for the privilege. Our councillors are bound to legislate for the “ greatest good of the greatest number," and Mr. Austin's great anxiety to have the licensing sys- tem continued shows plainly that. it benefits him, and, consequently, does not benefit. the people at. large. It has been urged that if the licenses be abol- ished it will take 860 a year out. of the treasury, which of course is true; btit if by their abolition meat. can be bought .a trifle cheaper, even during the winter ttmnths, two or three times 860 will soon be saved by the ratepayers. As “8 will on a previous occasion, butch- -t‘iu;: is tum ol‘ the most profitable busi- i-tw‘w" iii existence. and there is no valid “31"”? why " Government " sliuuld in- ml‘ 2 to increase the gains of thOse .'-=l in ll.

Since my last letter to you considera- ble interest has been excited in this and the adjoining township of Monmouth by a visit paid us by Mr. Pusey and Professor Chapman, mineralogist, geol- ogist, &c., of Toronto. Professor Chap- man and Superintendent Hutchinson have visited all the mines belonging to Messrs. Pusey (it. Co.. and he told me he had seen many fine deposits of ore which several generations of men could not. possibly take away. An estimate of all the hardwood and other timber has been taken by two competent set- tlers in Glamorgan and Monmouth town- ships for the company, who it is highly probable will buy all spare unsettled lauds, become large tax-payers, and then ask us for a bonus to help build the railway; and whenever it is built. and the company commence operations. it is undeniable that rapid improve- ment. must take place in this back coun- tryâ€"so called its present. It is much needed, for nearly all pine timber has been culled in these two townships, the lumbering is nearly at an end, as also is the hotnc market. for farm produce. Notwithstanding these rather discoura- ging facts, many settlers have taken fresh heart, as they have grown such fine wheat this last. season that. our lo- cal miller at Gooderham mill says ht‘ has never seen it. excelled in his fifty years‘ experience in various parts of this country. But. I am much of opinion that a vast number of inhabitants in these two townships will continue to de- spise all railway" communications till they are sold out to pay their taxes. which is as sure to come as sunrise and sunset new that the lumbermen are taking leave of us and going to other fields. Some are selling and going west. and some who have gone therefrom this locality have, 1 hour, returnedâ€"wiser men, no doubt. Many of our settlers are this year finding employment as jobbers for Messrs. Trouuce &. CO., of Port. Perry, Merrit Oakes, E~q., being their manager along the route. Powles’s Corners. (('orrespondence of the Gazette.) The first \rild geese seen here this season passed over on the 10th inst. Fall ploughing is progressing slowly. The last ploughing done here last year was on the 13th Of‘ November. Mr. Charles Parrish had a very nar- row escapc. the other day, from being seriously injured by a kick from a horse owned by Mr. T. Gillis. Mr. William Hill is lying very ill, under the care of Dr. Wilson. Mrs. Joseph Cooper is recovering from the illness from which she lately sum-red. Mr. Briggs, the cattle buyer, has made his last trip here until Chrismias. lie purchased two very fine grades from Mr. Wm. Powles. They were only tWo years and six months old. and brought. 860.

THE NEW MILLâ€"We spent a few minutes in McArthur & Thompson's new saw mill last Monday, but only three or four persons were present. and they were too busy putting finishing touches on the gearing to answer ques- tions. The engine â€"which can be run up to a hundred horse-power if desired â€"was making a “ trial trip," and was supplied with steam from two large boilers. which can easily furnish more than will ever be required. Everything was almost read to commence opera- tions. and this (' hursday) morning the proprietors, whom we met up town, told us that they would begin cutting lumv her some time during the day.

The Ontario Blink. (From the Monetary Timer.) The condition of affairs in the Cute- rio Batik is ofiicially announced to be fully as bad as any street-rumour had surmised. In the circular issued to shareholders under the signature of the. president regret is expressed that Mr. Holland's report “ shows a much great- t-r amount involved in bad and doubt- ful debts than myself or the board had reason to suppose, judging from the data previously planed before us." Turning to the general manager's re- port, made after he had spent. mOtiths in going Over the assets, we find these unsound _assc_ts enumerated thus: “ 1r- recovei‘ahle debts. 8640.262; doubtful debts and deficiencies in accounts still in cou'rsé' of liquidation. 8756.504." To this making together, 81.402.766. must. be added reduction in actual value of b‘tnk' premises. $88,590. The re- commcndntion of Mr. Holland is that a million and a half of dollars. that is 50 percent, shall be written off the capital stock of the bunk, and it is suggested that legislative action be sought to con- firm this' reduction. The presidentl do- eliues, prudently, it. must lie said. to raise any argument or discu~sion in re» spect of the past tiiuungcmeut of the bunk ; and a meeting of stocklt lders is called for the 30th proxitiio, to pro- nounce upon the plan of action proposed by the new general itianuger. 1n the light of the present position of thc' batik, the reports of the directors for the past sit or eight years are eu- tertuinittg loading. have been difficult to di~cover front any report until that of' 1881. that any on usual weight. of Weak assets, or actually bad debts depressed the bank.

While passing a pend near his barn recently, a Maluhide man says he saw a cuiiimntion in the water, and on closer observation discovered a snake and frog in mortal conflict, each one trying to swallow the other.
