towards my fellow townsmen aud
proprietors of the canning houses,
caunot they devise some plan where
by the diagreeable efiluyia so rotic-
able and freely commented upon dur
ing the past few days, and generally
attributed to the factories be checked.
Such odors cannot | suppose be con-
ducive to health, they certainly are
not to ones pleasure or comfort If
the cause arises from other sources,
and perhaps hidden, it is assuredly
the duty of the Board Of Health to
institute thorough investigation of
the matter. The sanitary condition
of the city demands it. Yours.
BURLINGTON.
Burlington, Nov. 14th, '81,
OUR STREETS.
There is matter which in justice
to all concerned, and to preserve the
uniformity of our building lines,
claims more attention it is thought
than it apparently has received The
width of the streets is regulated by a
special ordinance, and if it was deem
ed expedient to pass such an ordinan-
ce, it should, like all others be obser-
we'd to the very letter of the law.
Our remarks are induced from
property holder discovering as he
maintains, the encroachment ofsome
new buildings lately erected opposite
his own, full five feet 90 the street,
and which per the ordinance referred
to should be fifty feet 10 width. The
owner alluded to naturally feels ag-
grieved, and we believe intends ask
ing Councils attention to the same.
CHURCH CHOIR GUILDS.
The interest manifested in the late
choir guild festival in this city iu-
duces "Reader of the News" to
ask, "what are the objects of these
guilds, and why are they better than
voluntary choirs 7" The objects can
be summed up in the following answer.
To bring into closer union of fellow
ship the choirs composed Of men and
boys. To foster taate for, and to
introduce higher standard Of church
music among congregations, and to
establish greater uniformity both in
the selection and rendition Of the
music. To these points not attainable
to any extent in voluntary choirs,
may be added as superior to such, the
greater harmony among choiristers
than in voluntary choirs composed Of
male and female voices. Few, very
few, Of the clergy of the Episcopal
Church but have realized and been
tormented BY choir troubles. Mrs.
So and So, the leading soprano takes
exception, will sing this or that or
will leave, Miss A, alto is aggrieved at
the organist, and the tenor perhaps
"goes for him" also and SO or, aud
finally ending with no choir at all.
The writer's experience justi6es him
in saying, that with choiristers, either
men or boys, and particularly the
latter, the rector will enjoy peace,
there will be more co sgregational
singing, and the music strictly OF
church character as church music
should be.

Fastening their horse in front of

upon leaving at,-well-a pretty late,
