Tbe men s Iterd for this delicate and difficult pu-ition should not only be persons of good character but men of experience and ability, and the expenditure of a few hundred dollars' in each county, to secure the services of such men would, in i tbe end. Be an actual saving to the municipality; when any crime occurs tbe parties ulanly interested either fall into the bands of tbe harpies I have mentioned, who aie just as likely to be bought off by the accused as to secnie their conviction, or, if tbo services of a respectable officer is secured, it is generally so lonV after tbe -] occurrence of the crime that the vestiges -which would, if noted at the time, have been ample to secure a conviction, are lost, the result be ing, either that innocent pai ties-are canvicted upon false testimony, or that tbe county is put to an annual expense which would have more than paid the services of a skilled and responsible officer ; with Itbe additional unsatisfactory result that theTiccused, about whose guilt there could be scaicely a moral doubt, and from the insufficiency of tbe evidence, is acquitted.

If cume is to be prevented, the true remedy is to be sought in destroy ing those infamous dens of iniquity in which it is propagated.

Fatal AccirEKT On Monday last, Mr. Alexander Brown, who lived at the east end of Milton, was found Tying beside a fence on bis farm, with a rail across his breast, ot the same time' an era of railway construction enmo to an end. Millions of English capital bad loen spent on the construction of the Grand Trunk, and tho im porting irndo had been stimulated to a wonderful degrees The col lapse is yot very distinctly retnern- beivik Real estate iit country and city could not be sold atnny prico. Town plots that had been divided up ar*l sokl at high prices in build ing luts'weio thrown back on tbe vendors' hands, and farms tli opped below their noimal value. Duiing two or three years Canada has been going through n! somewhat similar exporienco. The Amorican war and the United States policy had ktiiuulated prices )u Canada. Railway construction kvitb Eng lish capital had been I enormous. Tbe millions brought in, and ex pended on new railways and for steol puis for the old ones footed up an immense sum. Then came tho collapse, | when railway building cease 1, a(id the panic in |tbo United Suites h'ul brought luetchandist' of nil sruts down to biinkiupt prices inj that country. .Tho Yan kees jvero no longer good |CiistouiPi a, and there was no natural demanu at-homoi for our pioduct1?. With all the elements to create geneml depression, it may be ques tioned if our condition has been as bad us lepreeentcd. Ceitainly there were l.tboiers in some of the cities \v;ho coiild not got vyork at then chosen trades. There havp also been many failures in the meicantile line. But there has been no de crease in tbe value of real estate. To day, near tbo close of the "bald times," tho vulue of farm property is lugher in Ontuuo than it ever bus beon before sinco the country was settled. Farms that could be bought in 1871 for $5,000 stands iti tbe mai ket to day for 8,- 000. Land that is too jfar away from the site of a posubleivillage oi town to be bought for a speculative purpose, or for anything else than ordinary agriculture, is fieely Eold foi 100 an acre. In m iny locali ties sales aro made for $120 and $130 an -ucrej and there are hun dreds of Inrnis valued at 510,OoO the hundred icrcs thut the ovv nets do not care to sell at any figure The depression does not extend to the fanners. There aro no forced sides and no shrinkage of values. A good deal of tho hard times is only upon paper. Political writers', have made it their business to paint tbo woes of the country, that they might have an excuse to attack the Government, which they hold responsible for every man's succei-s. A more unfair thing could not be done. JTifty blacksmiths might take it into their heads to build shops and commence business in the village of Hjde Paik, each one bunging on the ground his stock of tools, iron -and coal. By n:> pos sibility could there be work enough for nil of them, and some must very soon shut up shop. Had forty-nine of them gone into farming, or mar ket-gardening, while the remaining one prosecuted bis woik at the forge, all would have been prosper ou8. i But no Government could interfere to limit their free action. On the same principle, if theio are dully,and now wo have a.n extra dnl Sunday. Fire in Milton. Botweda tbteo aud four o'clock on Sundry motning Mis. J.
