deeper impression on me than
anything 1 saw on the entire
trip.
From Niagara we went on to
Toronto, Canada, crossing the
Niagara river on one of the magmfieient
suspension bridges that
span the river above the falls.
Wo passed by the monument thai
marks the grave of Maj. Isaac
Brock who was killed in the War
of 1812. Toronto is a wonderful
city of two hundred thousand
inhabitants. There are more
churches there than any city of
its size I have ever seen. The
Chinch of England is by far the
strongest of them all. Toronto
is noted for its institntinna r?f
k learning. Some thirty colleges
W and collegiate institutes are located
there.
1 had the pleasure of meeting
a number of distinguished men,
among them that 1 now remem
ber are Dr. Hall and Chief .Jus
tiee McLaren of the supreme
court.. 1 was shown through Osgood
Hall, where the different
courts are held. They have all
the state reports in the library.
I of course looked at the S. U. reports.
There were fully three thousand
delegates at the convention. It
was indeed a notable gathering
01 representative men and women.
At the Metropolitan church I
saw au organ which is played
both in front and in the rear.
i Some of the delegates, for lack of
. a better name, called it an echo
organ. I was struck with the
clearness of the tone and the
reverberations.
From Toronto, we went by boat
down the St. Lawrence river to
Montreal. Before we got to Montreal,
we passed the great rapids
in t ' ? *
u ino ui. i<?wroin;e iorgec me
name.) Montreal is a city of
about three hundred and fifty
thousand inhabitants. It is a
Catholic city largely and is noted
for the number of beautiful
cathedrals that adorn the city.
On the top of one of them they
have bronze figures of the twelve
Apostles.
We went from there to Quebec
which is quite a quaint city. The
place of most interest to us was
the "plains^ of Abraham" just
out side of the city limits, where
General Wolfe was killed and
General Montcalm was mortally
wounded. A granite monument
marks the spot where Wolfe gave
up his life in fighting the battles
of his country. The hill which
Wolfe and his men ascended in
reaching the Plains from the
river is very steep and is seventyfive
or a hundred feet high. It
Vpoks like it is an impossibility
4 to climb it.
Returning to Quebec we went
over the "old town" which was
built right along the brink of the
river. The streets of old Quebec
re very narrow and dirty. We
passed through a street leading
from the river up the hill to what
is now the principal city and
^ saw some children playing in the
narrow street?ten feet wide?
and we asked them the name of
i the stree^ They told us it was
UcallecbSous-le-Oap. As this name
suggests, Quebec is decidedly a
French eifcv. So far an I know if
is the only walled city on the
^ continent. A Bronze kiblet on
the steep bank of the river marks
the sight where General Montgomery
of the United States was
killed in leading an attack on
the English in the War of 1812.
Before returning from Quebec
visited the Falls of Montmorenci.
They are much higher
than Niagara, but only a small

Constables Back in Union.
Governor Hey ward today, after
receiving a number of reports
from Union county, decided to
order the constables back in that
county. This action is taken be
cause of the belief that the dispensary
law is not being enforc
ed since that county voted out
the dispensary. The policy of
Governor Ileyward was announced
several months ago in The
Record. As soon as a county
votes out the dispensary the constabulary
is withdrawn and the
couuty and town officials are given
an opportunity to enforce the
law. If it is found that the law
is not being enforced the constabulary
is sent back. This has
been done in several counties.?

Horse Notes.
As a rule, the quirk walker it- i
the sale horse.
Look at (he disposition ol a 1
stallion as well as at his lorm,
size, ped gree, etc.
Load the team according to i
iheir strength and use the whip as ,
little as possible. 1
Colls that are led high and
grow fast, need more exercise than
those whose rations are limited.
The frog in a horse's foot should
touch the earth at every step; ii
is constructed for that purpose.
Feed tor strength ami muscle
rather than fat. Surplus tl ?sli is
a hindrance to a horse that has to ,
work.
Do not expect a young horse
that is taking his first lesson in
work to do as much as a horse
well accustomed to it.
In selecting tor breeding, it is
well to remember that a horse
cannot transmit what he does not
himself possess.
The market will be overstocked
with cheap horses as long as farmers
patronize stallious because
their service fee is low.
Good strong mares can rai6u a
good colt each year and still do
about as much farm work as geldings.
It is easy to figure that
they are more profitable.
mere is a loss ot available income
in raising any kind ot stock
which is devoid of good quality,
but this is especially true ol
horses.
In nearly all cases the commu
nity that raises good draft or carriage
horses will be found prosperousand
progressive.
A farm may be made much
better by tarming it with teams
that are able to cultivate the crop
in the best possible manner.
The more gentle and quiet you
can keep colts from the time they
are foaled up to the time they are
old enough to work, the better
for them and for you.

to eat their meals. It is poor
economy to take a horse from the
stable before he has had time to
finish his meals.
If you want horses that will be
ready sale at good prices, breed
the best of whatever strain you
fancy. There are always buyers
for good draft or carriage horses.
By breeding your grade draft
fillies to the same type of stallion
as their sire, in a short time you
will have a number of brood mares
uniform in size, contour, disposi*
tion and color.
Both parents should be selected
so that the points of one may be
adapted to points of the other; for
although both may approach per
fection individually, the points
which characterize the one may
actually counteract the other.
One advantage, at least, on the
(arm, with the tall colt, is that as
the mare need not be worked
hard during the winter she can
better suckle her colt while there
is more time for handling the colt.

To the overseers of tlie Public

I again ask you all to warn out
your hands anil work each of your
sections of t he public mails, as many
days as the law requires r until you
get your roa?l in good condition. I
want to tind that each section of road
in the county is worked good between

The grand jury held a meeting on
the tir? t Monday in September last
and irquested me to give :iotice to all
of the overseers to put four days'
work on each section of road by the
lirst Monday in Oct. and for each of
you to make a report to me that day
And I did so, hut many of you failed
to work or to make any report. So I
kindly ask you all to read the report
of the grand jury at the last term of
the court. You will see by that report
that they want to have the roads
worked better than they have ever
been in the past, or have the law enforced
against anv one who fails to
discharge his duty. Let every one
do his duty, and the law will not be
enforced agailist any one. but otherwise,
they say it must be done,
'i ake due notice therefore and govern
yourself accordingly.
