He will plow and sow hid grain as of yore, but at the same time tl is will not prevent him from doing a deal of thinking during his silent, rounds behind the teain.and all evidences point to a heavy vote at tlie coming election, whenever it may be held. We particularly direct the attention of our leaders this week to the ably written Woman'* Sphere department on unr last pa^n.

OTTE- WBLL'S Through the courtesy of Dr. Sproule, VI P., The A Ji MICH i* enabled thi* week to place before its reader* the full text of Dr. Smith'* report on gangrenous ergot - inin, which ha* *o seriously affected many lierds of cattle in this district. Certain uewsjMp4 rs hare ducried tho airing of any diseases affect ing cattle -at thi* junct- ure, when the trade i* at a low ebb, but that is not uur view of the case. Eng- land has scheduled our cattle fur pleuro- |ineuiiMiiiia alone, and due* nut bother herself about other diieaiea which are C4iiiini'ii among her own cuttle, nuch M tuberculosis. When a new disease crop* up the more information that can be dis- seminated about it tho better. It it now known that nothing approaching the past serious i-utlneak here IIIM ever appeared in Canada bef4ire, al.hougli, as Dr. .Smith says, n fow cases appeared in 4>nu other district. Kn.in the very full discussion which we have given the matter our read- ers will be thoroughly i|uulitii-d to guard against tho disease in future, by proper feeiling, and we believe the value of the articles which have appeared aru fully ap- preciated by our re.idelfc. Dr. Hproule haH kindly pl.wed hrfoie an copies of all letter* that have panted between hiruaelf and the two agricultural p.'iitniriits, including m-. 1 l'i.-i i J.Lowe, D.M.A., one from Dr. Am!r.-w Smith, and I>r Smith'* report 4111 the diaeaM.

The hay which ia the principle cause of the diseM IB a specie* of blue grass,com- monly called June grass and readily be* comes urgoted in certain seasons. The diaase is serious in character but is easily preventable by avoiding the ue of ergoted hay or any hay showing signs of ergot, smut e\o. The trealmept of severe case* of gan- greneoua ergotism i* difficult, but any thing that tends to improve tho general condition, such a* nourishing and whole- some food, and especially rooU,s turnip*, carrots, in moderate quantities, combined with medicine and remedies i* of benefit, together with the uae of antiseptics local- ly when required. Grasses readily ergotised should be cut early in the season before an ergotised condition couies on. The veterinary surgeons referred to hive given good advice to the farmers, I expect the du- eatt will be easily controlled and with the advent of spring will disappear. It is noii-cootagiouii, and there is no neeuuity of causing any alarm. No doubt it i* unfortunate for tho*e farmers whofo animals are affected, and the loss in some cases is serious.

EDITOB, "Public Opinion" made a slight error iu stating the cost of a summons for a debt of $5 was $2. GO. The statement was taken from Dr. Ryersou's figures. The word " cost " is a tittle inappropriate as it las Lain interpreted to mcin merely the c,jnt of issue and taking copy of summons. I have been kindly up plied \\i-h a schedule of f. is from which I take the following : 1 Issue of summons 40 cents, 2 Copy of tiuumons 20 cts., 3 Copy of claim (including particulars) when not furnished by plaintiff (to be paid by plaintiff) '20 cts, 4 Copy of ge toff ( including particulars) when not furnished by the defendant (to be paid by the defendant) 20 cte, 5 Entering n turn to any summons 11V..C Service of communication 80c., 7 Return as to service of summon* 16c., There are other fees whic^i agijrinnte more than this which an not dirtctly charge- able under this head. I voluntarily make this correction, believing that it is nothing but right that there should be a fair discussion on public opinion. PUBLIC OPINION. K. Bridge. 7'.. Thr fcWif./r .,/ The Advance.

SIR : So it would appoar we are going to have another " pAtch up" to our bridge. There seems to have to bo a difference of opinion as to the lui-lii that the bridge ought to bo made but not a word about building a bridge on the straight line and abandoning the crooked donu hill track at present used. The bridge over the river onght to be straight with the road goiu,' to Kimberely and the north, and going south by Mr. Car's aud Qilliland a. This road is exactly in the center of the town plot and might bo made quite level. This would surely be a great improvement on the present down hill and up hill crooked route. A little more money would be spent in building a pcrnament bridge on the route 1 purpose, aud surely would not be grudged by any one. Some say that the present route being established by by-law must be continued. Are our laws like those of tho Muedcs and Per- sians which altereth not? doubtless tho same power that made the law can repeal it, aud let us have the road aud bridge where it should be. BATBPATBR.
