Of the numberless nuisances that existed in the town of Clyde at the tine the new order of things —the County system—was brought into operation, ami of which so many have been strangle I by the hj el of authority, there still remain s- nm few unabate i, The one to which we now refer is, we consider, the gieitest of all, as not ab lie is ir. a nuisance in itself, but that in a marked manner'taffects, ami that to ac nsider.able ext-nt. the pockets of those who aie not parties to it. We have a very lively perception of ilie fact that we shall raise a perfect hornet’s nest about our ears Iron those interested, but we hope to lie so strengthened and suppose I by those in wlmse In m fit we write, that die wrath we draw down upon us will have no worse tire- than the plashing of water on a -link’s back. To what ivc refer is the e-w----keeping r.ui-ati"e earned on in our midst. We were in hopes that the lesson taught by th>- police some few weeks sii ce. who made it rather hot for the own rs by impounding lie in day after -bay, wmill have ba 1 the effect of diminishing the nui ano-i. And mi it. aoparently did for a time, but as the vigilance decreased, so in pmporti n lias
the nuisance again giow ■, till, at len th it lias reached Imyon I tlie limits of human eu- j durance. Complaints reach us daily of the nuisance, ami it is e erla-lingly hj. iog , dinned into o ir ears that a something must lint alone he sail hut done to stamp i„ out, as to the legitimate ilailjinan it is unjust, while to the ennsum t, whose inclination or einaimstaneis will not|eimit of linn keeping an amateur dairy, it is rninmis. In no other lowii in iho country are muds of cattle allowed to roam at large, ami we see u > rea- | son why Clyde should he an exception. If the County bye laws will rot moir tlie case, we would then neonmirnl hat the Town and Country I’olice Ordinance he hioiight to hear on it.
