PORT PERRY, DEC. 11, Ea | ---------------------------------- A Change of Government. The free and independent clectors of Port Perry having come to the conclusion that a change of muni- cipal government for the ensuing year is not: only advisable but abso lutely necessary for the furtherance of the best interests of the eorpora-! tion, have pitched upon W'S. Sexton, Esq, as Reeve of the corporation for the ensuing year. The selection is a most judicious one and one which | mast putting locomotion out of the question, | | except Ly baloons. Our early winter trade { cannot fail in being acceptable to a very large majority of the rate- payers, if not all of them: Mr. Sex- ton is all that could be desired. Je has bad many years experience in the important position of Reeve and is quite familiar with the duties of the county council, and had the honor of occupying the Warden's chair for one year. His uniformly straight forward course securel for him the respect and confidence of tho members of the county council and gives him considerable influence in carrying any measure before that body. His successful legislation on the Scugog bridge and other matters of much importance to this and 'the neighboring municipalities prove how carefully and sucee sfully he gaurds the interests of his constitu- ents. and will secure them justice under all circumstances: he is in "act just such a man as the corpor ation of Port Perty rojuires at the helm of its municipal affairs in| theze times of large expenditure and extensive public works. In all liklihood Mr. Sexton wili be elect. ed by acclamation; it is the duty as well as the interest of the electors to return him, and there cannot be as many opposed to him as make it worth their trouble tc ofer any serious opposition to bisreturn. Our present Reeve, Mr. Bigelow, is a sharp, shrewd business man, but either from having too much busi- ness of his own to attend to or being too closely wedded to meum he does not attend to the business of the corporation with the least pretention to success, so that the general, if not the universal, opinion is that as a Reeve he has proved a signal failure, especially at a time whon so much care and attention were required. 'Whether one half that is laid to bis charge in regard to the misman- agement of the affairs of the corpor- ation, be true we arc not prepared to say, neither are we careful to stop to enquire; in fact were there not a word of truth in all that is laid to. bis' charge it wonld be most un- * wise in him to seek to hold office a single day longer than the close ofhis present term, since having entirely lost the confidence of the electors let him do as he pleased he could not regain the lost confidence.-- There are matters which will requi- veall Mr Bigelow,s tact to carry him through, There is the matter of our roads, a something of no small im- ce to the business and prosper- - ity of thevillage. Money wasspent ~~ in profusion on our leading roads and these roads were, at a large expence, ditched out and properly tarnpiked ready for a coating of gravel--all they required to make J good roads as are to be of the country-- wounld have heen a world of diseomfurtand the villag . deprived of a large amount of trade which it otherwise would bave had. Again there are through somebody's neglect and: mismanagment public buildings covering a cost of some twenty or thirty thousand dollars exposed in an unfinished state to the rigor of a Canadian winter--costing very much more on account of their being gone on with in unsuitable weather, and being worth, when completed a great deal less than they otherwise would have been. The unlawful ejection of the fire en- gine too, and its unnatural exposure until it got frozen to death while the good natured villagers were gliding along in fancied security supposing that the proper authoritics were tak- ing care of the fire engine, and that should the devourer manitest him- | | they had his match in the five engine which would pounce upon him and extinguish him at once ; they wero i poor abused engine was lying in a disorganized state in the gutters of our back streots. These are a few of the charges likely to be preferred against the | Reeve and the rest of the council land it will be for them to get out lof it as best they can.' We should think that somebody will [have a good time extricating him- self. There is no necessity for any | exhibitions of illtemper over it, as it {comes down to a simple matter of | fact « Guilty or not Guilty", and it guilty--of which there is every moral certainty-- thon it will be for | the guilty parties to subside. EE Lost our Snow. | { It but seldom happens that so generous a coating of snow, so thoroughly established | and capital sleighing gets wiped out in so | short a time as that of our late snow, which | was carried off by a couple of days genuine thaw and 1. Tt onr reeds a perfect fright, al- i which bad set in with an energy unparalleled | in the history of this section of country had | been rudely impeded by a succession of the worst roads which ever ramified over this terrestrial sphere of ours. But thanks to the pluck of the teams the perseverance of the drivers and the anxiety of the people to get to the village, wagons have been kept going till the roads have been well smoothed down |and all our approaches to the village made {not only passable but easy for the season of the year; and traffic has again assumed hand some proportibns. At no previous {ime in the history of this locality have the induce- uments to. buyers been" in any degree to be compared to those now presented to the general public whether in the extent of the Stocks, the style and quality of the goods of all descriptions, or the moderation in prices. A very slight glance into oar many firit class business establishments is all that is necessary to convince any one of our vast resources for doing business on the largest scale and with marked mutual advantago. « At this season of the year when people treat themselves and their friends a little more generously than usual, in way of clothes or ornaments, it is something to find just what one wants as regards style, quality to a friend--though an important gift--does not amount to so mich after all, and would prove a comfortable remembrancer for the coming year. Everything in way of Ladies' outfits, and just what is wanted for the scason whether for comfort, style or dexirable as a usetul token of respect, in endless variety. In Watches, Jewelry and fancy ornaments of the best quality and of the valuable in themselves and just the thing for holiday gifts, the quality and style of which caunot fail in increasing the value of the gift in the estimation of the receiver.-- While selling is the chief aim, buying forms a most important part of the business of the village. Everything offered for sale is picked up at the top figure the condition ot the market will allow. See our advertising columns for all the best places for buying and selling. A Ludicrously Awkward Plight. Poor Neddy, the sniveling Stan- dard granny is floundering hope- lessly in the mad of the celebrated "lagt ditch." His staff of scribblers has degenerated down to the most abject diegs ot the eommunity--the morally, intellectually, and physi- cally , blind. No other will havo anything to do with him or his botched rag. ere ---- i ---- Serious Accident. We reget to learn that Randell Masters, son of Mr D. Masters, Manchester, met with a serious accident on Saturday, last while splitting rails on the property of Mrs. Shaw 10th concession of Reach. Some how or otber the ax which he was using glanced and struck his right foot cutting off the third and fourth toes and so damaging the second as to render amputation indispensable. It is to be hoped that this is the extent of the injury but it is a fearful gash, It is in good hands and everytLing will be done that skill can do for the patient. 2 Christmas Tree.

To say that the roads | were bad would afford no idea of the oceans of slush and quiters which prevailed all er. As might have been éxpececd the almost) impassable condition of the roads told visibly } on the fair, limiting very much both the number of cattle and the number of people compared to what they would have been had the roads a in any reasonable sort of con- dition. Still with the disagrecable weather | und miserable rcads, the wonder is that there | were xo many present ; and if the number of as might have been was very good, A Iarge number of first. class bu were on { hand as usual ; and considera vity pre- i vailed throughout the grounds and the vil- lage. Prices of stock are still weak and buyers appeared a little shy of buying Christ- mas. beef quite so early, still they picked up considerable numbers of fine animals. Mine host Tennyson, of the Revere House, and his staff, had their hands pretty well filled for a time, In the show of fat cattle the number of entries was not to call large but there were some fine animals showa. W. J. Brown's carried off the first prize and J, Dobson's the second. In the show of hest fatted and dressed Hogs, Richard Widdin showed a superior one, weighing, we should judge, about 400 Ibs ; it was well fatted and carefully dressed It took the 1st prize ; W. C. Heard's took (he 20d. In best fatted and dressed Turkeys and Geese those shown by H. Harper bore down all eompetition, he carried off all the prizes in both classes. The Judges were Messrs. Love, Pyles and Wilson. Complimentary Supper. Adam Gordon, Esq., having moved from Manchester into his beautiful new residence, Port Perry, was entertained to a parting, complimentary supper at Tennyson's Hotel, Manchester, on the evening of Thursday, 4th inst. Shorlly atter 8 supper was announced. On entering the dining room the superior get up of the tables at once attracted the attention of all, and drew forth a unanimous expres- sion of satisfaction and approval; and un- hospitable as the night was, and difficult the traveling, so large was the number of those who turned out to dd honor to the guest of the evening that "mince host" had to pro- vide large additional 'accommodation.

The Worthy Sons of the Forest. We are pleased to find that the noble order of Foresters is rapidly extend- ing over all parts of this Canada of ours, and that the glorious acorn so lately brought into our country and planted in our soil has taken root is shooting forth and rapidly extending its branches and bidding fair to rival the parent tres in the magnificence of its pro- portions, and under whose massive ard extending branches the sons of the forest in our land by tens of thousands may take sweet counsel together and cheer and com- fort each other as they pass through the forest ot life; and beneath the spreading boughs of which the less fortunate ones may find a shelter from the 'biting blast of poverty, where the widow may find a balm for her sorrows and the terder orphan may find a substitute for a father's care; and where all may seek their way and pass along, hand in hand, to that great Court above, the leaves of whose trees are "for the healing of the nations." ~~ At the regular meeting of Court Little John, Port Perry, on Tuesday. evening last, nine new members from Uxbridge were initiated into the order. It is contemplated to open a Court there within a short time. At the close of the Court the mem- bers retired to Bro.

The Army and Navy, proposed by the vice-chairman was responded to by Major Forman who spoke enthusiastically of the prowess of both arms of the service, paid a well merited compliment to Canadian vol- unteers and closed up his excellent reply by singing in capital style, " The Red, White and Blue." The chairman now proposed the health and prosperity of A. Gordon, Esq., the guest of the evening. The chairman alluded, in terms the most complimentary, to the many excellent traits in the character of the guest, both as a neighbor, a townsman, and a public functionary ; and closed his remarks by expressing for himself and for the whole company the sincere desire and earnest wish of all that he (Mr. Gordon) and his respected family may enjoy a large degree of comfort and prosperity in their new home. Mr. Gordon in rising to respond was re- ceived with several rounds of applause, He spoke eatnestly and well, first return ing his hearty acknowledgements for the high compliment paid him by the large company present, and more so for the unani- mous expresston of kindly feclings towards him add his family as manifested by the hearty reception given to the toast so kindly put by the chairman.
