THE CATTLE NUISANCE.

Sir — Your cprrfspondpnt ' Townsman' only expresses Ibo opinions of a lar.e uum' c • of tha II iiui toa public, when be den;>un es ths present system of issuing dep.nUiriug liivnses, thus enaHing p>-r-»on» to run cittle m ll.e streets and euburbs of Hamilton, destroying the vcails and damaging i.uccs und g.rdeus. Three year» ago I planted a live feuce and toJaj it is no lorwai'der thuu the diy it was planted, being »jstein*t'cnlly eated down by the h»l-§.ai\ol brue'i n quickly as it grows Meanime tue teiue wi.ioli should no if have been replaced by the growing one will have to be a*aiu made, it l* high Uuie a fctop wu put to thu state ot things. Lt»t year my whole garden crop was destroyed by atrny cattle, nnd I hare given up attempting to cultirate in dii^ubt. My case is no solitary one, at mun> en bear me out in Baying, — 1 urn, &n.

Sib,— You would be doing a good turn to tny<*lf and more, if jou would use your powerful pen in trying to g< t the catiltt put off the street!, I thing the new board, none of which has cattle t Key with to run, might bo (jot to gt*a us fnir play ii them ater. What ' Townsman' ny» has not a wjrd of uutruth in it. Ihose oat- 1b is u pe it an I a nuisitnte watching round a tnan'j feace, iuj Matting for « gale to be left open — aud I touictinxea think i hair uwi era u-s>iet them i.i this — ao.yi to gut in and help th- msehes. JN'ow *,he road* were made not for grazing, but for tmffi.', but from mj hjiisa to the school Uie roaJ is so puddird up wuu cattle trapping that mj younger children hate been unab.e to uttaud «jbool nearly two days each week this » iuter. I don't see wbut right poop'o Lareto keep cm tie vi lcs-» they can lied them without let- n^ them tbiavt and trei Mi on the highways aud m the neighbour's gnrdiUb. — I urn, <Lv, Uebidem.
