Europe it is an admitted fact that Its wood cuts

the advantages of superior artistic quality with

cr the protection OF the community and
the interests Of the State demand its en-.
forcement in the courts. Ikwould, there
fore, seem Ia me to be wise to empower
him, when he is satisfied there is no In.
territorial violation of law on the part of
any one, to remit penalties which may be
supposed to have been incurred under
the sections in question,
There is bald inconsistency in pros
ecuting and fining the guardians Of trust
funds for technical violations Of the stat
ute in respect to their trnst; as there
can lie no principle in financial economy
clearer than that the penalty in the end
comes from the widows and orphans of
those for whom the trust is held Our
laws would hardly tolerate the prosecu-
ton of guardian for violation OF a
law of merely technical nature, when
in his character as guardian the expense
of his defense and the amount Of the fine
would by 80 much diminish the funds of
his ward. This seems to me to fairly H.
lustrate the effect of prosecutions ofinsu.
rance companies for technical violations
Of our present insurance Jaw. And this
argument is strengthened in case where
the law is SO irrcconci lablc in many of it's
provisions as to render it impossible to
meet all its requirements.

writer to the fact that we want from
correspondents, small or large, young or
old, some information interesting to all
readers.
We are always anxious to learn
about the state Of the crops the condi-
ton of the stock; about butter and
cheese making; the health of the
neighborhood; whether schools are
we'll managed. Plenty Of subjects for
children or adults to write upon.
Thoughts not words make letter.
How many acres have you in crop,
and what is the promise? How does
the wheat, corn, oats, barley, potatoes,
grass and garden look? What SUCCESS
with stock and poultry? Is your neigh
borhood we'll settled, and have you schools
and churches Do you have pleasant,
social meetings among your neighbors :?
Never speak evil or harshly Of any one.
