' I r ' '* ' TOR.—Iii your issue of .the tere are two cotninunica- from H 1 '- Edwards, the other frofal a.“Memberi of Council,” which Lpwyose to consider/together. I beg tStve to say to Mr. Edwards that IdiSuiot “assume gossip.” My inforni.’giDn was derived from a gen tleman .who misunderstood the exact terms used. Mr. Edwards thinks it to have asked him what were before making niy I v do rot agree with c had uttered a personal ligand that insult had :ated to me by a third p ir- ^ihen have been proper |)| ; .op him for a statement, •, 'Of |J»e language used, o present case, where his .^.T|>eeu directed against uo, icujutr, and I w^s sjmply his f nctions in th^ matter of petition, it was not in tne to Fitfjsfy myself as wprds used. X obtained .tion iVqm, a source satis- myself and used it pru> ing, however, “that if Ins been correctly reported e and leaving it to words through the sucif^c&aracter as woul press. But now that I have from Mr. Edwards tlie very words uttered by him, I am only further convinced that tlie criticism made by me in my ist pommunicalion was, and is still, properly called for. Mr. Edwards said that “it would be belter to sprin kle cologne around their doors every morning,’’ and he also states that lie aid il “in jest.’’ I can only repeat that Mr. Edwards should have re membered that t7e question was a ser ous one, affecting net only our property, but the health aud comfort of our families, and that the ill health of one ol those about whom he made his untimely jest had been seriously aggravated by the smell from the gu ano. The whole animus of the re mark was an attempt to throw ridi cule on a complaint made in good laith, and grounded on co-existing facts, and hence was in exceedingly had taste. Mr. Edwards states that it was ful ly as proper and delicate in him to prepare the paper he did, as for me to advise Council and himself ns to the manner in which they should con duct their business. While I ex pressed my views as to the manner in which Council should have treated us, and I hold that I had a right to do so, and that I exercised that right with perfect propriety, I am not aware that I, anywhere, attempted to advbe Mr. Edwa.ds as to the man ner of conducting his business. But, I shall now stafe plainly’, what in a former communication I only left to be inferred, and I state it not in the shape of advice or council to Mr. Edwards, bnt as my opinion, that the preparing of any counter petition was riot and ought’ not to have been made his business. A number of cit izens respectfully complained of a nuisance; it was in bad’taste, and out of place for Mri Edwards and for tlioke who signed his petition to declare that the nuisance should not be abated. i’ * ■ ’If Council bad ordered the abate ment of tlie nuisance in Edwards to exert ajl bisj powers lor the protection hh ijoa*}. A- I have thought pro)$i[ to vgffy : .’thia much in answer tp ^r Edwards’ ciird^ and I npvy dismiss jt^, leaving it to the reajlgrs. of the Banner to j.ndge whetherpMr, Edwards has fully answered or not my previous com ments upon his countey petition. Now, I shall say to “Member of Council’’ that I jiave read his article, and I remark That a.’ gent le explana tion of their conduct, a disclaimer, for instance, of any r ,intention to treat us discourteously would have been kind and neighborly ; bnt, I ask, is it humane to Iaunch.’at me a whole broadside pf legal opjnions ? I shall attempt, however, to survive it, Not being a lawyer, I approach . this gingerly ; and I am half tempted to think that “Member of Council’’ in tended really to scare me off with the supreme; majesty of the law ; i^t im'yever, j; shall venture a few .^anarks,: .. ;. < } :. Uil The decision of the Supreme Court declares that a publie or a private nuisaneg tufty be abpied upon proper application. It docs not declare that a gpano depot is not a nuisance The learned Judge ventures only to say that he does not think tljat tbe ordi nary use of a gunso depot is a serious He' p¥dbiibly ‘ 5 bevW lWefi Hear one. lie states th*t “tQ ujake a thing a nuisance it oug^jt.to he of urt qr 'an noy ordinary people—n«t nico, sus c'eptible, sickly people.” I am sure, speaking for myself, I am neither sus ceptible nor sickly, and yet I am se riously annoyed by the smell. The last clause of the decision says: “ * * the judgment * * di recting the removal of the house and affixing a fine was beyond the neces sity of the case. Why should the house be removed ? Cannot the nui sance be removed by removing storage? Nor had the Court * * * power to fine. * * Now, does not this, taken with what proceeds in the full text of the decision, ad mit that in the case of this guano nui sance there was a necessity for doing something ? and the decision even suggests that the nuisance could be abated by actually removing it. But the judgment is reversed. Why ? Because, iu addition to other errors in technicalities, the court below erred in ordering the removal of the house, and not of the storage, and because the court bad no power to fine. I fail to see in this decision any thing that warrants Council in its course, and I stand by the views ex pressed by tne as to iis action. I am only sorry that I did not, in the first instance, present our case to the Directors of the N. E. Road. In private conversation with many of them I have found them entertaining on the subject extremely fair views. They acknowledge frankly that the guano, must be aruiisance, and they seem favorable to the project of mov- iug the, guano further off, another season, provided, of course, the city gave them access (,9, theii; new depot, and they freely discuss several proper sites for it. I am .only sorry,?I re peat, I did not at first lay our case before t lbera; as I am certain it would have obtained a,ipore respect ful hearing. At one time, indeed, I thought of doing 6p^ but Rowing very u'ell that it would be a serious matter to ask them to move their de- a manner in- , )ot t0 all inaccessible’ place,, and juriotfs to ti e 1 N. ! E. Road, thin would have been the time for Mr. open streets, and having besides, then, the deceitful thought that Coun cil were our natural protectors, I car ried our humble compl.rnt to them, when instead of bread they gave us a stone. 1 >> *. li i-I u . j...

A piece of lemon bound upon a corn will cure it in a few days; it should be renewed night and morn ing. A free use ot lemon sugar will always relieve a cough. Most people feel poorly in the spring of the year, and so take medicine for relief; but if they would eat a lemon before break fast every day for a week—with or without Busin’ as they like—they would find it bettei 1 han medicine. Lomon juice, used according to this recipe, will onre consumption, even after the doc tor’s have given it up not to be benefi ted. Put a dozen lemons into cold water and slowly bripg to « boil; boil slowly until the lemons are * soft, but not too soft; then squeese until all the juice is extracted : and sugar to your taste, and drink. In this way use one dozen lemons a day- If they cause pain,'or loosen tlie bowels too much, lessen the quantity, and use only five or six a day until you are better, and then begin with a.4o*eaaday : After "usings(nlf Mozeri tift ’patiefit tifH begin to gain flesh and enjoy food. Hold on to the lemons, and still use them several weeks more. Another use for lemons is for a refreshing drink in summer, or in sickness at any time. Prepare as directed above, and add water and sugar. But in order to have this keep well, after boiling the lemon squeeze them and strain care fully; then to every half pint of juice add one pound of loaf or crushed sugar, boil and stir a few minutes more until the sugar is dissolved ; skim carefully and bottle. Yon will get more juice from the lemons by boiling-them, and tlie preparation keeps better.—Londoh Lancet. «t aa*:U (... < il t: - V a ; :r,r.9 j * blm* / knowing that the City Council was tbe only body that had authority to 1 -ih On Tuesday last as Capt.
