ANOTHER NUISANACE.

■TO THE EDITOR. ! Sib,— The city by-laws have very wisely [prohibited anyone from keeping pigs f within its boundary. I should like them : to go a step further, and stop anyone from keeping noisy roosters about their premises. A-recent number of the Canter- '. bury Times stated that hens lay better ; when there are'no roosterz, and the writer ! of this letter can confirm that statement, haviug seen it tried. The reason I write • this is because the above fact is not generally known, and because roosters are often I a nuisance, especially where there is any I sickness, as the patients are often kept : awake in the early hours of the morning, - just at such time as- they could get a little | sleep after• a restlessnight of suffering.. ! No sooner does one start to crow than' I every one in the neighbourhood must. ' follow suit, even the littie bantams join in, I and there is a perfect.chorus of them joinJ ing in their morning song. No sleep for j thei weary,ones after they commence; as j each tries to go one better than their } neighbour.., This mey appear a very i triflingthing, but I have long since come Pto the conclusion that the world is made | up of trifles, and ! recommend this trifle to ; the conaideration<of our city councillors.— ; I am, Ac., CGGK-A-DOODLE-DOO.
