TIN CANS.
To the Fditor of the Heualt>. Sn;, — You will render a service to travellers by noticing tho cirelea* habit of throwing refuse of any kind-> on public roads. In riding fr.m Onohunga recently, at night, my horao twice stood on some tin nasinir," probably they wero keroeina cans or tin i*ani»ters"of eorae kind. The animal on e:*ch occasioa was ..frightened, and had he been more nervous or restive might possibly huve thrown the rider. I have a very great objection to meeting with such an accident, aud as others may have tho same feeling—and might be spared the cause of accident, br people throwing what incumbera them into the ditches, at all events off the road way, your remonstrance ngiinet the careless practice might do good. A thoughtless act of the kind I refer to may have the mo=t serious consequences, even 'o the eacriSce of another person's life, or limb. —I am, i-c, VIATOB.
