JOSLI BILLINGS ON OAT&

I hay studdyed este closely for years, and bay found
them solikted tow a wild itate. The habit got affecahun,
nor vertu° of cony kind ; the will sknitch their bout
friends, and won't ketch mice unless they are hunary.
It ham bin sad that the are good to make up into 'usages;
bat this is • grate mistake. I haw bin told by •saasage
maker the don't kumpare with dog& There is one
thing sartin, they are very anxious new live. You ma
turn one inside out, and bang up by the tale, mid as
soon as you are out ov eight he will menage to turn a
bank aumervet and cum around awl rite in • to dayr. It
Is very hard work to booze a oat. If one sits carried oph
in a tag bi mistake a grate ways into the kuntry, tha
won't ate lost unla a short time, but soon appear kw
make the family happy with their pr. fence. 010 maids
are very fond ov cats, for the reason, I suppoile, that
cats never marry if the have ever so good a ohanae.
There in one thing about cats i don't like; if yo step on
their tales by acksident they git mad site °ph, and make
a greet lons ab 'tit it. There is another thing about
them which makes them • good investment for poor
folks. A pair ov cats will yield each year, vritliout any :
outlay, something like iioo per cent. It is a very
ainguier fact that cats don't like • mill.pond ; and I •
never bon one tow git drowned bi aksident. The Inv
cream, but it seems taw be agin their relidgin ter Web
soap. Cats and dogs have Dever been able tow agree OD
the main question; they both seem tew want the
artirmotiff in& tow mist. I think if i could have my
way, them wouldn't he enny more cats born, union the
could show a certificate ov good moral karakter. There
is one thing more about cats which seems tow me to be
all eireektashon, and that is making such a devilish
noise under a feller's winder o' night., and then call it
inumk. If I was to bar mi choice between a cat and a
striped snake, I would take the Boake,,bekause I oould
get rid of the snake by letting him go. There ain't no
sartin way to kill a cat; if you gin one worked up into
11108010, an' ye think yu are awl rite, jist as likeli as not
the will Cali to and take off a whole lot of good massages
with them. These are my views about oats, rather
heady hove together; audit I ain't said rout' &gin them,
It is only bekause i lack the informashun.

MUTH or Mi. Lin GROVIDL —We regret to record
the death of Mr. Levi Groves on Saturday evening the
11th. As one of the leading agriculturists of the county,
the name of Mr. Levi Groves was always recoived with
unfeigned respect, for his straightforwardness in
businesa, and his upright dealing with all ainoag whom
he moved. For • number of years he assisted in the
administration of the poor relic( at the I>orchestar
Union Board, where. u vice-president, he afforded the
moat valuable saaistance to Mr. Floyer. ILI', In the
transaction of business. lo the ranks of the Yuen&ors
Cavalry, also, the cheery voice and ready assistance of
geartermiuter Groves will be sadly missed, for long
esperience in the tegiment had made him acquainted
with every detail. In his business life Mr. Groves
was regarded as • valuer or stook and property par
excellence, and his decisiou in the many uses upon
which he we. called to adjudicate were invariably pro-
ductive of the most satisfactory result& As • breeder
of the pure Hereford cattle, also, he had won consider-
able prestige, and in ninny other ways he won for
himself the approbation and esteeui of all with whom
he came in contact. He has a., •1 at the ripe old age of
74 and while he leaves behind many friends to mourn
his departure, he has also left an honoured memory to
be cherished by thou who sball succeed him in the

here, viz., not making out as a separate list, seeording
to al Atructi,es, tlitve qualified as occupiers at I:12 yearly
rental. The revising barrister, whilst disqualifying
thou not placed no such Int, admitted thrt it wu an
error on the part of overseers Into which they might
possibly fall, but though the making of new lide
entailed considerable trouble. yet, according to the
provisions of the Act a new list must yearly be made,
not only of new claimants, but of all qualified to •ote
as ...copiers, at El 2 yearly rental. The old lists, in
which such parties were entered, were virtually dead
lists. The Clerk of the Peace took great pains In
giving instructions to onruers, and if they were
stlictly to follow them, such errors would not occur.
Mr. Platt Eighty complimented the assistant °veneer,
Mr. l'ett, not only en the correctness of hi. hints, but
the excellent manner in which they were made out.

are, ea I told you, to be compelled to take out
licenses—establishing the universality of the aetion
so far as his district is concerned: second, if this is
done without any "positive directions,"—and the
Sepervisor semi hurt that he should not hove the
credit of taking rroceedings all to himself—l can't

them to apply for separate licenses without delay.
