the heat this week, including Anthony Adams Prince and one owned by Mtrshal Bolieau. The horses have not suffered much more than persons who have bnen exposed to the burning rays Of the sun for the past week. As far as known there have been no fatalities, either among peo- pie or horses.
 The question of public dumping ground is brought very forcibly to the at tention of any one travelling on the road to Monson by the numerous piles of de- cayed fruit, vegetables, barrels. etc, that have been dumped on the side of the road. These are not only unsightly, but give forth very offensive odor. A place is generally provided in all the larger towns and cities for a general dumping ground, and such place should be provided near the borough, in some unohj"ctionable place, and the dumping of refuse prohib- tied in any other place than the one pro- vided
 Bids for building more state highway in town will soon be advertised for, as the plans and specifications are now ready. There will be about $3OOO to spend in this way this year, and as the town now owns it's own roller, the appropriation will go farther than last year, when the town had to expend about $14 per Jay for a roller. About three-fifths of a mile was built last year. and it is hoped to get a longer section this year than last. Work on the strip of macadamized road for the borough will be commenced as soon as Highway Commissioner Ellis is able to superintend the work.
