WHY NORA city subscriber
propounds the query "why not sell
In lots or lease on long time the
block on which the old court house
and bank building stand, in order
to raise money to help the city to
get out from under the burden of
debt which is pressing her dowp!'
We see no good reason why these
grounds, which for business houses
are the most desirable in the city,
should remain unemployed and yield
no profit to any one. All except
that part on which the City Hall
stands might as well be sold or
leased for 90 years as not !, in either
way the lots would bring enough to
lift the larger part of the debt now
remaining, and if good buildings
were erected thereon the improve
ment to the city would be no small
matter of consideration. The sub
ject is worthy of discussion, and
we suggest that the Common Coun-
Gil proceed 30 get authority, if
they do not already possess it, to
dispose Of the property for the ben

CORES pOnuc4ee-
The winter Collegetorm closed last
Friday, with the psual exercises. The
examinations were more thorough
than usual, and they are usually more
thorough than at other institutions.
The customary literary entertain-
ments by the several societies at the
close of each term, were on this occa-
sion given under the immediate SUI
pervision of the President. and as 8
consequence everything had to be of q
mathematical exactness.
Will Carleton gave one of his read
ings last week, to a good audience,

II q0orc1 for the Oteceland Veat Eat
ers'-Every year, about this time, the
dairy section is thoroughly canvassed
by butchers and dealers from Cleve-
land, in search for veal calves. So
anxious are the dealers to obtain the
first veal that they take the calves as
they drop, load them into wagons,
take them to market, where they are
served up in the shape, or by the
name of outlets, whether at frst-class
hotels or restaurants, do not know.
But one thing is certain-when a per-
son from the country sees "veal cut
lets on his " bill of fare" he univer-
sally says, " Not any in mine. if you
please take my beverage straight, if
it is little youthful, but new veal is
too tender" a dairyman in this place
sold last week some calves to one of
the aforesaid dealers; the oldest of
which was three days, and one was
foHr hours old. There is city ordi-
nance regulating the age of veal Of
tered on the markets. just how many
hours old veal must be, to be mar
ketable, l don't know. The conun-
drum is, win our city friends like
their veal better with their ordinance

SHEEP KILLED By DoGs.-About
two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
OF last week two worthless dogs got
among the valuable flock of sheep of
Mr.. William Cowley, living in Streets
boro, near EarIville Station, killing
three of their number and injuring
three others. The dogs were caught
in the very act, and one of them was
killed on the spot, and his owner paid
Mr.. Cowley $40 for the damage done
him. This is the tenth time Mr.. C.
has suffered loss and damage from
dogs raiding upon his focks. These
depredations are becoming quite too
common, and the owners of sheep
with justice demand that some meas
ures should be adopted by the Legis-
lature for their protection. We are
told that there are scarcely half the
number Of sheep kept by the farmers
of Streetsboro as formerly, owing in
. great measure to the want of securi-
ty against the attacks of vicious ours,
and we presume the same is ture in
nearly every township. Fortunately
Mr.. g. was able to fix upon the dogs
that did him damage, and thereby in
measure to compensate his loss but
in most cases the sufferers are unable
to do so. If good round tax were
imposed uponiall dogs, and a fund
thus raised to compensate those who
might suffer loss from their depreda-
tioDs, it would weed out many of the
worthless ours and thus in some meas
hre remedy the evil,
