The counties of Monroe and On tario, of New: York State, have recently adopted resolutions : favoring such a measure; with a , provision for a $25 penalty for a breach of the ordinance. This is a matter which' demands the immediate attention of municipal offi cers. Municipal Journal and Engineer. EDUCATIONAL GRAND RALLY Campaign For Better School Bulld- ings Inaugurated.

Transfixion with the feet is common on some portions of the Gcorgina and other creeks, while mud dying the water with the feet and then hitting the fish as they come to the surface is a common procedure every where. The practice of "poisonimr" tlie water by special plants and cap turing the fish as they come to the sur face is also fairly common. London rsews. Licking Envelope.
