proceeds therefrom are questions likely to engage tho serious consideration of he nty Council at the session commencing on Monday next It will be remembered by those who take sufficient interest In County affairs to observe the action of the past that a committee was appointed last winter to consider the propriety of dividing surplus funds arising from these roads among the various municipalities of County The original cost was and the aforesaid committee reported that the amount paid thereon since the Coun ty came into possession was 27000 and further that there still remained at credit of the York Ac count on tbo Dec come latter sum they recommended should be divided equally in accor dance with the equalized value of of the municipal- tics to be expended on a few of the itoada leading to the York The committee further recommended that tho and Deputies in the municipalities consult with their constituents during the interim between now and June session with regard to particular roads leading to the York whereon it would be advisable to expend their portioi the surplus funds This report by Council but we hare yet to learn of a single mooting having been held in any part of tbo County to subject matter thereof in to consideration To our mind it is not enough for the and Depu ties limply to ask a iw of their neighbours in a quiet way with re gard to a matter of to touch impor tance as the one suggested by Committee Public meetings should been bold and the question ful ly freely and dispassionately d otherwise private interests may largely be brought to bear to

manner in which these roads hare paid the Coun ty shows what Mr moat bare pocketed already and only magnifies that gentlemans assurance to bear of bis setting op a claim regarding the perfectly developed snakes or whatever tboy are ire a dark blue The number of these creatures is I as we mentioned tboy swam in every branch and puddle of water Their mode of firogrcHsion in addition to the undu- atory motion of a snake is by tbe use of tho flippers described above and they swim entirely under water or with the head and a few inches of the body above the surface a indicating that the flippers are absolutely essential to motion They are perfectly harmless Men and boys take thom from tho pools by and they are brought to for inspection We are not willing to admit that r knowledge of ichthyology is not sufficient to determine what they are Eels have teeth are carnivorous and some species are very belligerent These tho cyclopterus or suckers having no teeth and are evidently for attack and except by flight are defenceless Furthermore they have no fin and their flippers are only adjuncts and not their prin cipal moans progression They are not serpents as they want fangs either hooded or naked which invaria bly marked tho order of ophidians Wo will not worry our readers with I any speculation on a subject beyond specimens which will omitted to naturalists of acknow ledged
