ROSLYN ROADS.

'i'U THK EDITOK. Sir, —I quite agree with "Bucolic." We on Kaikorai Valley do certainly eiijoy niauy privileges. As a resident for twenty-six years, 1 can speak of the advantages we enjoy. I think "Bucolic," however, is rather inconsistent in regard to the arm of the law. lie probably does not know that, the small fry have been up io their boyish pranks in taking a little fruit from friendly neighbors' trees. The man in blue is still alter these boys, and I think it shows great zeal to arrest a small boy—far more so tlian to look after the interest of the ratepayers. I think I have done my part in supplying feed for the wandering stock, and after many veais I have managed to grow a small grass plot. 1 have long since given up growing flowers, i should be pleased if the owners of stock will let ine know what kind of grass is most suitable to grow. Flowers only give the cows a few inouthfuls, a'nd they walk away with discontent, and chew a hole in your hedge. 1 saw one of my neighbor's digging his front garden and sewing grass. Alas! poor man, he too his learned a lesson. A bay horse left his mark in the shape of hoofprints several inches deep. We have excellent roads, the clav always reminding you how much we ought to" l>e thankful for. in the near luturo 1 anticipate decent footpaths.—l iun, etc.. Giii) Ui:si»knx. April 7.
