THOSE SALEYARDS.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—l was pleased to read the letter of Mr Bullock about those saleyards, as my friend M- Andre Chogneel once say to me “things at Frankton want, taking hy the horns.” How can those dirty yards be kept clean when all the monies go to pay emoluments. It is all a sacre canard that so much water is used. How do I know these things are done? Vraiment, on tile word of a de Rougemont it is so-

When I was through this country | with my brother Louis in 1889 I met 3 Mr Barton, le Maire. He was a very | capable fellow’, but with a uabit most i droll of leaving things about in places j very unexpected. He leave the Town | Hail in the gully near the bridge! he J leave those saleyards near the public f school, so that those enfants could j learn the vulgar tongue from the! drovaires. Those saleyards he leave in those dug outs on the hillside were kept so very clean'by the most good Council, you could your dinner eat off them. Those pig pens on the footpath of the Rue Ward, they smell like new-mown hay. When the country people get off the train they take a big sniff and it make them think of home. Thbse Frankton saleyards should be taken away from those people so maladroit. Those so ugly buildings in the Rue Ward should be pulled down and those saleyards put back there for the most good Council to look after again. Those directeurs nevaire pay a sou to connect those yards with the drainage. Mr Bullock say so, I say so, we worktogether in the sacred cause of truth. —I am, etc., ANANIAS DE ROUGEMONT.
