A LETTER in this issue from Mr. Drysdule, who went to Scotland for the good of his health and reports steady improvement, will be read with interest by his many friends. In a very unassuming spirit he describes the svenes of his visit. and to those in- :a-rvsted in Municipal ownership, his reference to the city controlled insti- tutions of Glasgow will be particularly helpful. “'0 are pleased to hear from Mr. Drysdale and trust the future let- Iers promised will be even more inter- esting than those already contributed. for the kindly solicitnde shdwn by him in connection with the preparation of the plains and specifications for the )Ivaford Baptist church.

A RESIDENT in Durham, a sutferer from asthma for years, desires to bear testimony to the great value of Dr. Arthur Gun’s remedy for asthmatic weakness. A certain measure of help in the past has been received from other skilled treatment. but in no case has the patient experienced such im- mediate and complete relief as has been received from Dr. Gun's .treat- ment. The patient, Mrs. Jas. Bott, willbe pleased to give further testi- mony to any one suffering from the same cause. A COUPLE of citizens were holding a conversation the fore part of the week about the lax way in which the town laws are administered. especially re- garding the noise allowed about the hotels. A traveller was forced to en- quire what kind of a town we had and wished to know how it could be possi- ble under such circumstances to get a comfortable night's sleep. Travellers are very quick to circulate reports of this kind, and we fear they have too much reason to give us a bad name. This is an old story, and we hope our town hostelries will not allow their business to be run in such a. way as to drive trade to other places. an independent officer here could find a little work to do. \Ve have horses doing service right now that are so poor that a respectable crow wouldn’t be seen trying to pick meat off the poor things‘ bones if they were dead. It seems inhuman to work the poor animals without giving them sufficient food to hold hide and bones together. It is not an uncommon sight tosee hozses on our streets tied to a post in the cold days and nights of winter, while the owner is revelling in drunk- enness in some of our barrooms. There’s a law against such treatment of poor dumb brutes and it certainly should be enforced. In the summer time too, horses may be seen tied for hours at a time under a scorching sun, hungry no doubt many times. and often parched with thirst. We may be told to mind our own business. and so we are when we find fault publicly with such treatment of dumb animals. The owners should be punished by tapping their pockets to the tune of a few dollars, which seems often to be the most emcient way of reaching their humanity. ‘ Kindnessto apoor beast will be repaid every time. THE Humane Society is an active institution in some other places and a little observation makes us feel that Miss Amy Kelly, is visiting in Ham- ilton. having left Monday morning for a months holiday.

The Company here was so rushed that they had to ask that time be extended to the 10th inst. when goods Will go forward. Another carload was sent to the Robert Simp- son Co., of Toronto. and yet another to Montreal on the 31st of July. Other large orders are on file and every ma- chine and employee is going full cap- acity to work down the list.
