(To tho Editor of tbo North Ot/oo Timkb.) Sih, — "Being r resident in the vicinity of the proposed pound for stray cattle, T beg to raise my weak voice to pro ten. against such a grioviince as a pound being added to our presont misory, viz., mud. Mobs of cattle boing driven on a road such as Cross lano, formed with clay, and no metal, will provent any women or children from getting about. As it is now, it is simply exeorable, yet we are expect d to send our children through this Slough of Despond to school, and sit quietly while more insults we added. It would be no wondor if fovo •» appeared in our midst, with stagnant pools and other stinks, and now a pound is proposed for Chelmer street and Cross lane corner. Strangers from othor towns visiting our puMic institution, the Oamaru Hospital, must enjoy the sight of our proposed pound, with poor st- horses and cows, and can re Q alo thoir noses with the nincll of our stagnant pools, besides getting knoe-de i in mud, before retch ing the summit of Hospital Hill ; to say nothing about the agony of broketi limbod patients cat vied across such a road as it will bo if • 'c are to have the pound. We poor deluded inhabitants had been looking forward for public garden*, but it is thought ptlvisablo to have a pound instead. — I am, &c, A Mother and a Ratipaybr. Oamaru, January 20.
