Highway Margin.

EDS. JOURNAL A general renovation OF
road fences and road sides is eminently in
order about your beautiful and prosperous
village, where every pleasant evening at this
time Of year scores OF tourists and pleasure
seekers run out in every direction to take the
air and see the country roundabout. Our
road-sides should be fixed up and cleared of
rubbish, and made an enticing and attractive
feature in the beautiful landscape about the
"Falls."
Farmers in this neighborhood are now well
through with their ordinary improvements
and can afford to cultivate more taste than is
general about the roadside and fences border
ing it.
A good, strong, tidy fence standing in clear
blue grass or white clover sod. is worth more
to the owner and has more attractions to the
traveller than our too common-yes very COM
mon, gripping, uncouth structures, held Of
ten in position by the very wilderness of Thrush
that ought not to be there. Laziness it would
seem in certain cases has its reward, and the
roadside Of all places should be the very last
receptacle of the debris obtained in renovat-
ing the doOr-yards, cellars, out buildings, &c,
&c. (; yet we find the practice very common
to bring all the offensive refuse to the front
and dump it in the highway, seemingly to
drive away all attractions or semblance OF in
side culture and refinement, and make the
threshold uninviting and repulsive.
Since the great storm there is a marked in
crease I'm the size and number of brush heaps
in the road but new brush is clean and not
so offensive as nOsegay of qualification made
up OF cellar and backyard yearly gleanings
and of well buckets, barrel hoops, boots
and shoes, dead dogs and cats, carpets and
carpet rags, tin and crockery ware, and
unfamiliar portions of chamber fixtures, tue
vestiges of poor dead ROSTERS and anomalous
things, set, in some instances, in close prox-
unity to the most travelled route on purpose,
it would almost seem, to least the eyes and
noses of LA.
But seriously, fellow farmers, let us turn
over new leaf and clean up our highway
fences, and the brush and rubbish on either
side o. S.

The Glen by the Falls.

EDS JOURNAL BY last weeks paper | see
that call has been made for work upon this
spot in order to give the people OF River Falls
place where amid the cool shade they may,
for the hour, spend pleasantly the time with
or without some friend. River Falls has
many beautiful spots that might be turned
into places of public resort. If all things
could be satisfactorily arranged with the
party or parties owning some of the tall and
beautiful mounds that overlook our quiet
village we might with but little expense,
have on one or more of them. beautiful ar
bOrs and winding paths to reach them.
There is one, back of the Roman Catholic
Church we'll situated to give one view OF all
the surroundings. Shall these things come

gestiOns about the glen. &.
The attendance upon the ente rtaln-
ment given by the Jubilee Singers,
last week, is suggestive of a few
thoughts. Among the audience of the
second evening were those who, like
myself. had been induced by the rep
resentatiOn of persons who claim to
be lovers of music, judges of music,
teachers of music. These persons had
attended the first evening and herald
ed the praises of the Jubilee Singers
up one side of the street and down
the other. Now as one of the victims,
| have little curiosity to know how
many of these lovers, judges, and
teachers of music will openly claim
that there was any singing done on
Thursday evening. The most. and
only, creditable selection was the
Larboard Watch. and of this it is hard
Iy necessary to say that two ladies,
well-known in this community, have
surg it, and can again sing it, ten
times as well, as was done on Thurs
day evening.
Was the judgment of these lovers,
| Judges. and teachers of music warped
by the receipt of free tickets
Again: among the audience of both
evenings were churchmembers, class
| leaders, Sunday-SchOol superintend'
ents. Some of them not only attended
themselves on the second evening. but
induced others to attend. Now, to
man up tree. it may seem just trifie
mysterious how such people can har'
