It thoroughly under- stands and expones the fact that tbe laws of this country were framed 'or tbe rich and the lawyers. The poor man baa ft* earthly show to gam ins- lice when pitted against tbe rich. While con versing with a well-informed gentleman tbe other day Tbe Advance wu told that tbe lawyer was the only individual in this broad country, who was legally entitle' to a fee for making out his own bill in detail against a client. For instancc.yuu may engage a eoihtitor to do certain work for yon. He will charge you so much for hia Her/ice, or perhaps retain whatever he chooses trout inouies wliich way have been paid into court, and should y in reqnue from him a detailed statement of bis tees you are taxed by him for making nut and presi-ntiiii; yon witb his own lull! What would be thought of t Tin reliant, who, presenting you with a bill of goouH purchased, tacked ou this item : " Making out account, nve dollars?" TaU, af ooursu, is ouly one of very many instances where l.iwy ci-s are unduly favored. Of course wu are informed that there ii a uiaiino r of ledreas appeal to tbe tiini j officer a lawyer himself. Tbe items wliiou he can and will al- low to pass, however, would be a veri- table cyeopcnor to any hard-worked farmer who received payment for bis labor to the extent of about one dol- lar ,'! day. Tue poor farraen and laborers in this vicinity, who got bit- ten by the big Bugeoia bubble, have had an expurienoe of taw which bas left them witb a ver/ sickening feel- ing at the pit of the stomach. They an uot likely to trocblo tbe law courts hereafter any wore than ia absolute- ly oeaceasary. But they will have to do ao more or Uaa. In the general transaction of certain bttMuea. " tbe law " steps in and .ays, " yoa must employ a solicitor." and you can't get out of it, aud this it where the ooto- pua has its numerous tu tides thrown oat over the country. Daring the past apring this paper pnblniied a nuinbei of letters on this very subject, and we are extremely w >ad that the Olobe baa gone so taorouifli ly iuto tUe matter. There m a large field in which to operate along thin line, and tbe reform* which should be ioaogorated are nauicd legion . From tbe agitation thus started some dsfioite and needed lofurnisarc likely to result. Canadiao cattle have not found favor witb tbe britisb Board of Agri- culture, who have discovered what Canadians never knew themselves, via , thateontagioni pleuro pneumonia existed iu Canadian herds. A cable- gram dated Aug. 18 says : The final judgment iu reference to Canad- ian cattle baa been pasaed by the Board of Agriculture. Hon. Herbert Gardner, President of the Board, baa decided that the embargo must stand. Canadian oattle isust here-after be slaughtered at the first port of lauding as has been the custom since the schedule was put into loice. A parlia- meutry paper hasjuct been issued which deulai ua that beyond a doubt the disease with which Canadian cattle kavo been found to be afflicted is con- tagious plenro-pneumouia. " From tue last report of the Bureau of Industrie* we glean the following figures relative to the taxation of the various townships in this county. The figures show the taxatian per head of actual ratepayers iu each township. Ospruy is taxed the lowent and Col- ling wood the highest of uny township in the county.

E. Shepherd, of Toronto Satur- day Night, ia a keen observer and a traveller of uiuob experience. He is therefore iu a position to, aud is quite capable of, " siitiug up " the condition of tbe country and his conclusiona are worth listening to. Here are hit views upon tbe prospects of Ontario and the maritime provinces : " borne time ago I elecu*l myslf a visiting com mittee of oue to perambulate the prov- inces and see how things were going, aud I have just eouipted my annual tour of Canade>.
