LIoB ON GArrLH,-It is common practice,
or was in ears gone by,to use strong decoction
made by boiling tobacco stems, for the des-
truction of lice on cattle. These pests are q
great annoyance to cattle, rendering them so
restless as to cause marked falling away in
flesh and greatly dispiriting the animal thus
affected. The N. E. Farmer commends q mix
ture of lard and kerosne OLA little more OF
the former tean the lstter--as ready and eff
fective cure. thorough rubbing into the
hair OF the animal once or twice will prove ef.
fectual. Calves are frequently go much an
noyed by lice as to become poor and stunted
in growth in consequence.

Notes in WoodIand Cemetery.

NSH he
Woodland Cemetery consists of about
sixty acres in Newburgh township, partly
reclaimed from the primeval forest, filed
with native trees, with northern shurbs and
plants from warmer chimes; with network
paths and tumuli and knolls; where rich and
poor, friend and foe, like and unlike, smbi-
'tious, restless and weary ones CATER life's
ftful fever sleep WELL"
In the main avenue near the Kinsman
street entrance is a large mound upon which
the City Fathers purpose erecting a foun-
tain whose crystal-gushing waters shall EN-
blem well ambitious life-bright, buoyant,
sparkling, till the fountain head is dry.
The location is beautiful and could not have
been more fifty chosen. But what will the
manner of the fountain be? 4 plain, I'M
handsome, stone-encircled pond, in the
center of which some out-landish Gorgon-
Head will spout water from its mouth, nos
trils and eyes? Or will it be an elegant
basin worthy of its place; from the center
of which will rise some lovely work of art
some beautiful, appropriate and symbol
cal figure of real artistic merit? We would
suggest the latter. Other smaller fountains
are to be built throughout the grounds, the
waste water from which will be conveyed
east of the larger fountain forming q minia-
ture lake.
Near the proposed site of this largest toun
tain stands the largest, finest and most ar
tistically beautiful monument in Wood
land Cemetery-indeed in Northern Ohio
We refer to the well-known W. r Henry
monument, built of highly polished Italian
marble. The pediment IS of finely cut
granite, the base of the column is entwined
with wreaths of flowers and the capital Is
most exquisitely chiselled. 1t was manu-
featured at the marble works of Jones Il
Son on Prospect street, and cost about
$1,000.
Immediately beyond the Henry monu-
ment is another of peculiar interest from
the same mandatory. It was erected to
the memory of Capt. Theodore 5. Mahon,
Co. D, 10th Michigan Infantry. 1t is OF
American Statuary marble, an upright can
non supported by four cannon balls upon a
rustic base with four shields upon each
side of the base.
Further on in the centre of the Cemetery
is the "Chapel Lot" so called from the orig
inal intention of building q chapel upon it.
Here the City Council purpose erecting at &
cost Of $4,000 a pavilion with fountains
upon each side of it. Immediately in front
of the pavilion is situated the beautiful
Gothic Aleott monument.

STREET SPRISKLISa.-Several petitions for
the ~sprinkling of streets, numerously signed
by property owners, were returned to the
Council at the last session with the en-
dorsement that the petition was not sutii-
cient. There seems to be a misunderstood
ing as to what the statute really provides,
and we publish the section which relates
to the matter for the information of all con-
cerned, The act "to authorize certain cities
of the first class to sprinkle the streets"
was passed By the General Assembly, April
g., 1865, and Section LIST was amended April
6, 1856, so as to read as follows:
SEC. l. That the city councils of all cities
of the first class, having a population not
exceeding one hundred thousand inhabi-
tants, and all cities of the second class,
shall have the power to cause the whole, or
any specified part of any street in such city
to be sprinkled with water upon the writ
ten application for that purpose of not less
than one-half the owners N Ualue of the
land fronting on such street, or specified
part thereof, and may pay the expenses by
an assessment upon the lots or parcels OF
land fronting on such street or specified
part thereof, IN proportion 10 tne leeL front
thereon, as the city council may think best,
to be collected as provided for the collection
of assessments for opening, paving and gra-
ding streets N such city provided that no
lot or other parcel of land located o n a
corner and fronting two or more streets au-
thorized to be sprinkled By the act shall be
taxed for sprinkling more than one of such
streets.
The petitions are often improperly and
earelessly made out and signed in pencil,
or blotted so that the names are illegible.
It is of great importance that the petitions
be neatly and coneisely drawn up, and
signed plainly in ink. The number of feet
front owned by each petitioner should be
stated, and the place the property occupies
on the street.
Now that the dry, hot weather is coming
on, the prompt passage of ordinances for the
sprinkling Of streets is of great Importance,
and the delays occasioned by the rejection
OfpetitiOns will cause greatiDcOnvenience
and discomfort.
