A NUISANCE.

TO THE KDITOB. t) . Sir Y-'Ur correspondent ""\ :ctinv is not the only victim of the citlb plague in Roslyn. Of course, in Roslyn proper (K'»gour Ward) the didicnist pest would not Le tolerated for a day ; the police would 1 * compelled to put a stop to it. J>'Jt tn: C p.irt of the borough known as the ivukom seems quite neglected. "There's so-and so gone oil to town. H-.rry uu aud put the cows upon her place; she won't lv me till evening, and they ll get a good feed/' "Bui, mother, she d sold her grass." " O't, that'.* iio'.hiug to us ! If shei-houll hann.n home h</v-xe jou expect, say the cows cot oir. accidental, and you \e jmt come for" 'cm." And so the shildrc-n are trained in dishonesty ; and naturally, with such trr-inirg, they develop r- cunning that is perfectly marvellous. " Your clw has been in and c;..ten all my cabbages,' complains some p'»or, lnrd-'.vorkirg widow. "Oh, sJi'-.M do that in fivo minutes," says the cow's own-.r, cheerfully. It never seen 6 to occur to suah llut they have 10 right to let their ev-vs w.-ci'.ier at all; and that they eve b-.un-l in comr.v;u honesty to pay for the rknnge their cows have done. No, they'll never do that unlc'S compelled by law; and quiet people are averse to putting ihe 1 >.w iu motiou. And such people know that, aud tra ie upon it. And t his is not ail. At night and on bundays numbcrt of horses are turned loose over Urou-hton, to ti.it anyone going aloDg n the dirk runs the risk of upon .1 herb aud having his brains kicked oat. ilei.wvrn horsta and cows the fcotpatl.s ;;re bcc-:-mii'g 1 ii-:c ac .w byre or a stable for filth. ir ;U :l>w-'-. have ar.y power or ■my y.u-iic:-i:y "'•-'■ :!i ''■-'}' °iv.;iH l 0 u6e ' 6 :.)'pui, ancudlo ti'is cunsliua nuisance and .i:irg-:r.
