Coim.in- Moth Act.—There ia a general outcry in this part of the district at the arbitrary provisions of tho- Codlin Moth Bill, it will, if passed, cause ,m ire dissatisfaction than the, Poll Tax did some years ago. The collector of that tax had some v.-ry unpleasant experiences in performing his duties; but it may b<. , considered popular to what a moth inspector will have to undergo, if lie intrudes into some of our farmers' orchard. The ladies are " dead agin' it." I heaid one say, she " would not so much mind being taxed for growing an apple for her children if the Government wo'uld only include other pests in thenBill, such asblowHies,leechiis,inosquitos and flea». ; ' Sho was sni-fl all could be as easily got rid of as the codlin moth and were quite as great pests. Any country ineiiiKir I li-.it votes f.'i- the Bill, will stand a poor chance of re-election.
