Sir,—l see in your paper an invitation from the Sanitary Commissioner to parties desirous of giving information on the best means of securing the health of the town ; as the following production has found its way into my hands, I place it at your disposal, and at the service of the Commissioner. " EVIL MAY DAY. " Yes, Mr. Commissioner—though doubtless it was very far from the intention of the Provincial Secretary and his colleagues, when they planned the Dog Nuisance Ordinance, that it should be so—the first day of this month has proved ipiite as fatal in its results to my race as the 'prentice conspiracy to the Flemish artizaus a century or two since. Dog Nuisance, indeed! If we are voted nuisances when living, tlie proceedings of some of our owners render it very probable that we sliall bo greater nuisances when defunct. I will tell you how. It is "my custom always of an afternoon" or evening, to have a ramble round the town to see what is to be picked up in the way of hones, and learn when we are to expect the Government collars. In the course of my excursions I have seen more than one of my friends lying at the bottom of the river, with bricks tied to their necks : indeed, it is but a few days since I saw a hoy—may Sirius never shed a my on him ! —take tbe body of a very old friend out ot* the river near Inwood's mill. From the exclamation made by him, "The nasty beasts, I wish they had to drink it!" fassumed that he resided in the locality, aud that the riveT was the source of his water supply. 1 saw also another good Samaritan release a youthful member of my genus from the midst of a gorse bush, into which ruthless hands had thrown him. Now, Mr. Commissioner, in the name of Martin, and for the sake of common decency, I protest against these modes of shirking the Government tax. It ia a humbug that even Barnum could not countenance: on the one hand we hear a bit of sentiment alnuit " The dog, the natural companion of man;" and yet these and worse means are resorted to cut short our days and our acquaintance ; though 1 suppose I shall be told that no dog, should exjiect to have more than bis day. I conclude, sir, with the assurance that these remarks are perfectly disinterested ou my part, as I have the pleasure of knowing that I always have been, and hope still to continue A Favorite Doa. P.S. —A friend informs mc that opposite the Royal the carcase of a horse has for some days lain imbedded* among the water-cresses : if this should prove to be true, you shall hear from mo again.
