CoRNEns AND BoUNDARIEs.--It is by no
means rare occurrence that builders IN our
town find when it comes to be q matter of
be erected that the deeds conveying such
grounds fail to establish conclusive or detin-
tive points, lines or beginnings; that tenn
porary or unstable objects have been taken
as points of beginning or departure and in
many instances the front line of the lot is
located at an indefinite distance forward Of
the present building line of the street.
There is at present one specially vexatous
case in point, wherein the builder finds it
next to impossible to discover a single posi-
lively determined line or point of beginning
and we have knowledge Of q number of par
alel cases. Now, this is all due, primarily,
to the fact that there is not now nor ever
has been any plat nor any regular division
of the town into lots: the streets are with
one or two exceptions "come by chance"
both as to direction an width; the building
lines are moi regular, and all ordinances gov
crning sidewalks have been drawn to meet
different conditions in different localities.
While it is scarcely possible to remedy
these matters in the older and built up parts
of the town, yet we see new and handsome
streets at the eastern end of the town, open
cd up and built upon, without any plat or
place of beginning and we think there can
be no two views as to the propriety of such
procedure.
What we would advise is, that the new
and straight streets and the available land
upon the immediate confines of the town
should be surveyed and plated; the streets
projected and the lots numbered, all from
some definite, fixed and plainly marked
point.
For future owners this would preclude all
the petty and vexatious troubles now exper-
fenced by our people; the labor and expense
would be but slight consideration as COM
pared with that received in return.

There must be some mistake In the
Emo story which is just now going the
social rounds. The Boston Globe says:
"The statements which have recently
appeared in the papers of New York
and Boston, concerning an alleged
sensation in the social circles of Quebec
over the appearance in local society of
Mr.. Emo and his estimable wife, were
evidently written in more malci-
Gus spirit than otherwise" One
of the most prominent barristers
of Montreal says: II was pres.

the reasons for his departmental fire.

offices for his constituents, which is by

not think that all is going on as it
should, still he is not without hope.
The Democrats have not done so badly

during the past six months, six thou.

eight times six months !" The Mary
