the question OF a general code and of the

showing that general code of the law

short history of the codes prepared for this State

favor they had received elsewhere.

ToRoNTo. Ont. Feb. g. 1879.
The HERALD correspondent has just had conver-
saton with the Principal of the Ontario Veterinary
College, the best authority in Upper Canada cattle
diseases. He says pleuro -pneumonia is perfectly
unknown in Canada in contagious form, and it Is
also unknown in the Western States of the Union.
There has never been any contagious disease known
in either and the present cry is entirely of an alarm
ist character. This gentleman has recently been in
Britain. and has an idea to how the cry has
arisen and of the true inwardness of the movement
though he declines to say what it Is He says ship
pers OF sound cattle need have fear of Interior
consequences. There was more danger several years
ago than now. From what nc knows Of the disease in
the Eastern States, he believes it exists only in
mild FORM and is confined to dairy and
cattle quite unfit for export.
ORDER UNPOPULAR.
Public opinion here is not favorable to the order
Of the Canadian Privy Council torbidding the import
of American cattle from the West It is considered
that the prohibition will result in permanent loss
of traffic to railways. Latest advices from the
shorthorn breeding establishment report the cattle
sound and in the chief cattle rsing districts there
is not trace of disease other than those incidental
to the Shippers here confident that there
will not be much difficulty with future shipments.

CANADA TO SUFFER FROM THE PROHIBITION.
MONTREAL Quebec Feb, G. 1879,


Referring to the prohibition issued by the Cana
dian government against the importation of Ameri-
can CATTLE the Herald says:-It does not seem very
clear how prohibition is to serve our real interests.
1t apparently expected that while American cattle
are not to be brought into Canada cattle still
to be exported to England. That might be if we had
winter port and plenty of cattle. 1t is to be feared
that the American railways may take advantage
of this measure Of the Canadian government
to divert traffic permanently to their
lines to the loss of our shipping as well as our rail-
ways. This is to be deprecated because no one be-
eves that there is any cattle disease in the Western
States The taken by the British government
is probably dictated by the idea of trade protection
for farmers quite much by sanitary protection.
though the true reason cannot be avowed but we
shall avoid the injury that the prohibition does
to interests by imposing still more rigid prohi-
bition of our own. We should rather seek to
strengthen the natural opposition to prohibition by
showing the baselessness of the apprehension on
which it processes to be founded. We hardly think
it possible that it be maintained in the face of
the British cry for beef at reasonable prices"

Mr.. Josiah Hill, employed at the

dening in Evanston and adjoining
villages. He had formerly resided
in Evanston, and was known by
nearly every person in the village.
On Sunday morning, man was run
over and killed at Evanston by an
incoming railroad train, The corpse
was a. once Identified as that of Mr.,
Josiah Hill, the gardener Word
was sent to his family, wife and
daughter, and they went to Evans
ton. The wife wept, and in her in.
consolidate grief, frantically caressed
the dead one. When the ioquest
over the wife took charge of the re-,
mains, and on Tuesday the appoints
ed tine for the funeral, the body was
borne to the grave, amid tbs lamen
tatior of large circle Of friends aud
acquaintance That apparently, was
the end Of Mr. Josiah Hin on this
earth. On the jury at the inquest
was Mr., Kearney, Deputy Sheriff of
Cook county, who among others
present at the time, knew MIR. Hill
very well, and swore to the identity
On Tuesday, the day of the funeral,
he made an official trip to Winnetka,
a place about five miles distant from
Evanston, and was frightened out of
his senses at seeing what he at first
took to be Mr. Hills ghost at work
in a garden, setting out plants. He
hailed the object and was somewhat
treasured when he heard Mr.. Hills
voice. Explanations ensued, and
the surprised Hill returned with
him to Chicago, and on entering his
own home, his wife and daughter
screamed thinking it was an appari-
ton. Indeed, it was some time be-
fore either she or her disconsolate
daughter could be convinced that
their husband and father was still
alive. To this day it ia mystery
who the man was that was killed.
