John Whitby, appraiser. Farms to sell or rent, also. CosiDERABLE misunderstanding ap- pears to exist regarding the necessity for the issue by a municipality of a Financial Statement in December and also an Auditor's Report shortly after. A number, of our exchanges some time ago stated that a bill had been passed substituting the December Statement for the Auditor's report this is not the case. It is true a bill was brought for- ward for that purpose but it did not be- come law. On seeing the report on the change of the law and not finding any- thing of it in the Statutes an exchange wrote to the Provincial Secretary on the matter and ascertained that neither the December .Statement nor the Auditor's Report can be omitted; both must be published. .Since the meeting of the General Con- ference in Montreal last September, the Methodist Book and Publishing House makes another stride forward in its popular periodicals. A new paper for voong people,, with the progressive name "Onward, "an eight-page, well-illustrated weekly, is issued at the low price of GO cents a year, singly â€" over .5 copies, 50 cents a year. It is edited by the Rev. Dr. Withrow, whose management of the' Methodist Magazine and Sunday-school periodicals of the Methodist Church has been so successful. The popular Methodist Magazine ($2 .00 per annum) aud the Sunday School Banner (60 cents per annum) will also be considerably enlarged and improved. The Bev. Wil- liam Briggs, Toronto, is the publisher of these periodicals. Parlor Social. â€" The English Church rectory in Markdale is a substantial brick building conyeniently designed and well finished. Rev. Horace E. Bray, the Incuinbent, is but recently married and is the first occupant of this cosy residence. The first parlor social of the season, under the auspices of Christ Church Ladies' Aid was held last Friday evening in the rectjry and was qtiite successful notwithstanding the bad state of the roads. A short program was ably rendered during the evening, the most prominent feature of which was a bnr- lesque tableau, depicted in some six or seven scenes. The company was very sociable and the Incumbent and his good lady were highly snccessful in their efforts to render the gathermg interest- ing, entertaining and pleasant to all. Messrs. Wm. Lucas k H. Mercer, of this village, had a little experience in farming this aeasou, the results of which may be interesting to our readers. They kept a strict acconnt of every item of both receipts and expenditure ao that they know â€" or will know as soon as their hay is disposed of which they have had pressed recently â€" ^what profit or loss there is in the experiment. They rented a farm of lOOaeres adjoiniiiR the village corporation, 70 acres of which was under cnltiyation. The rent was 6i per cent interest on the value of the farm, making over 1200. They paid oat, for seed, labor, rent, taxes, Ac., ahoot 000 and wiU have abont •100 pnitt. This is small indeed tH tbafMnec who does his woik laqtely iritUa hii own tamily 'would says tuaiHwMy aaon.

Being poUished by the Ontario Fruit Orewers' Association, nnder government patronage it is con- ducted wholly in tho interests of the brmer and fruit grower. Its object is to give information suitable to each month on the grovring of small fruit, the management of the orchard, the vine- yard, the flower garden and lawn. Special attention is given to the crop prospects and the reports of market prices in our best markets for fruit and vegetables. It is proposed, in ' fruit season, to sent out a weekly market bulletin tree to suhscriters. It also aims at exposing any frauds in the line of fimit trees and plants. The magazine is fully illustrated with colored plates and engravings, and, when the year's num- bers are bound in one, makes a beautiful book for the parlor table. This journal for one year, together with the report of the Ontario F. Q. Association and a choice of plant for testing, all for one dollar. A special discount is made to anyone getting up a club. L.

As the new Dog-tax law comes into force on January iBt, lti91, it may not be out of place to refer briefly to the lilw generally. Ever since IPCS the statues of Ontario have provided -that a dog-tax shall be levied an- nually in every municipaUty in tho Province, unless the County Council passed a by-law doing, away with the tax. Even shnuld the County Council dispense widi the tax the Town-hip Council was empowcreil, by the same statute, to restore it. Iu our own County the County Council of IBG'J passed a by-law doing away with the tax all over the couuty. 'i'his was during tbeWaidenshio of Mr. (now Judge) Lane, and tlie by-law is dated January 30th, ISGt).* Some of the townships immediately passed by-laws restor- ing the tax, but as their working was claimed to be unsatisfactory most, perhaps all, of them have been repealed. The County By- law, however, has never been repealed aud is still in operation unless where over -ridden by a township bv law; The new law, however, does away with the County Cocncil liy-law altogether and li aves the whole matter to the township councils. The new law is thi.i, namely, that iu every municipality iu Ontariu a dog-tax must be levied aud collected, urifr^^g â€" mark the word unle-3â€" '2-5 ratepayers shall petition against it, iu which case tue township council may â€" or may not, it would seem, if tbey think proper â€" pass a by law doing away witli the tax. But unless the petitrou is pre- sented the Council. lia-,-e no option but to go on aud collect the tax, namely, 41 for a dug an-l ll"2 for a bitch. Tne new law, a^ already stated, comes into force on January ist, 1B91. All this has a bearing ou a case at present iiefore the Holland. Council. A farm- er-ol that toivn^liip bad a number of sli-jep killed by dogo some time ago. Having fiiiled to discover the owner of. the dogs he billed the Council with two-tbirds of the value of the sheep." It seems quite clear that be cannot loj-'ally collect auyibing. for the simple reason that the Couuty by law doing .away with the tax is in force in £]olla*ud, and there is consequently no dog-tax found in that township. It may be addeil thit if any municipality w-isbos to do away with the J,og- tax the 2o ratepayers af-jrc-aid should pre- sent their petition and the Council should pass the necessary by-laT before the Assessor starts out, for in the absence of the by-law that official is bound to enter the dogs on big roll. It is hkely that most of the rural Councils will pass the by law if the necessary petilion is presented, for, as already stated the dog-tax law didn't give satisfaction before, for the oouacils bad to pay for many a sheep that died, not from the worrying of dogs, but from simple starvation. A good man^ people think the di gs should be taxed irre- spective of the sheep question altogether, and that the township treasuries shoald get the sole benefit of- the fund and certainly it woulln't h*^ a bad idea to have wime law in opeiatiou that would tenJ to do away with some of the useless earl with which the oonntry ia now overrun. â€" Chataworth cor. iu 0. 8.
