lr is safe to say that Mr.. Deller's

the best of any laid in the city, and,

expensive. Mr.. ID. is entitled to
much credit for the manner in which
he has had the walk laid, aud every

Now that warm weather is close
1--WE guess it is) wouldn't it be a
good idea for the ladies who are
bringing roll butter to market to
wrap each roll in a cotton cloth
which has been dipped in brine?
We think so. The cost is tritling
and your butter will sell better for
it. Rolls which stick to each other
in the pail or basket on being sep
arated have a ragged appearance;
they look bad. Butter neatly print
ed, delivered in the market or to
customers in good, smooth condi-
ton, often brings cent per pound
more than just as good quality Of
butter which is brought in in poor
shape. 1t will pay you to put your
pound rolls in cloths.

TRourING.--We don't see any
way to remedy it, but it seems to us
that the trout streams of this vicin-
ity are tished too closely. Not day
passes--not fair day-but what
from FIVE to fifteen persons can be
seen fishing for trout, and a majority
have fair success. The fish cannot
multiply in our streams If this is
kept up; and the interest in this kind
of fishing seems to be increasing
the number of fishers this year is
double that of last.
