Buteven the more rabid Grits are beginning to + find out that McKenzies misrule is an expensive toy. But this is not the worst of it. When the Conser- vative Government abolished the duty on Tea and coffee they at the same time imposed a duty of 10 per cent. upon tea and coffee coming from the United States. This was in the interest of Canada, as the Uuited States taxed goods coming from Canada, the Conservative Gov- ernment considered it nothing more than fair play that they should tax commodities coming'from the States, and this was about the surest way to . bring them to reason on these wmat- ters. But what did our maudlin Grit Government do in this case.-- 'When they put the duty on tea and coffee, deputations waited upon them from all parts of the country with a view to getting them to reuove these obnoxious imposts, and suc- ceeded in making them back down considerably, though not altogether. Ono thing, however, was agreed to, that the ten por cont. duty on these articles coming from the United 'States shonld be continued. But like most of their promises, this was made only to be broken, and the un- | reliable, tricky Government, after hon. members had generally left for Meir homes, slid through a clause re- moving the 10 per cent duty from the tea and coffee imported from the States, thus giving the Yankees an undue advantage over ourmerchants; and large numbers of our commer- cial houses will be great losers by the trick. This reduction of ten per cont. will pay the American import. ors handsomely, but will be to the detriment of the trade of Canada. -- What do McKenzie & Co. care for Capadians, they have succeeded in etting into power with a numerous Blin, unquestioning following at their backs, men who would vote party if the country should go to perdition in their hands. Where were the Opposition when dhis iniquitous clause was being assed ; surely not slinking round ke as many dummies, or sleeping on their benches. Why should they Jeave their posts till the close of the business ? They know enough of the government to know that they are not to be trusted for a moment; fpickery and fraud are their fort. -- - great wrong has been dome the country, its perpetrators are very ilty, but the opposition are not nocent as far as their culpable silence allowed the iniquity to pass > unchallenged. Our County' | Parliament. The second and last sessson of the parliament of the county of Ontario Br ions was opened on Tuesday the 2nd inst., for the dispatch ot basi- ness. The day was unusually fine and Jon. members appeared in first rate dettle. When the hour of meeting 9 arrived the members quietly took their places; the absence of Toral salutes, s Euards of honor and all-that sort of tomfoolery was cool jut refreshing. While destitute of glitter it had the refreshing air of I, practical businss about it, appeared all the better without p costly bluster. The. Warden mot detain the members tracted speech' from satisfied himself with as sharp as hawks, . id hig foreign by and Pp on the 'for the introduction of the following day. read the rt of the Pub Topol ne country in such « state that, in order | will find it more convenient to call at his office at Port Perry; and being now situated at the business seentre of this section of country hil services may be more - readily obtained by the public at large. That Dr. Ware is. an important acquisition to the village will be ad-- mitted by all who know him either as a professional man or a citizen. We need add nothing as to the Doctor's worth, his emirent success as a skillful, medical practitioner,and his many years successful practice in how. far. Of the 11,665 children 10,523 had bad themselves enrolled in some school during the past year, so that 1142 never put in an appearance at all ; while 1123 of those who did at- (tend were less than 20 days at school during the year, and "2136 more than 20 but less than 50 days. These figures are startling and go far to prove that at least one third ot the children of school age in this eulightened county of ours are re. ceiving no public school education ; D this section of country place his and that us a matter of course one reputation as a araschly reliable third ofall the money spent on our medical adviser on a sure foundation. Public Schools is completely unpro- ductive,or in other words is absolute- ly wasted, and the country is ex- posed to the disastrous effects of hav- ing one in every three deprived of the advantages of 'a, public school education. Let our public schools i receive the increased attention of all. The equalization of the assessment I roll is always regarded with much interest, and not unfrequently proves the bete noir of the June ses- sion. In the present session the rates of last year were undisturbed except in the cases of Brock, Mara and Rama. Brock was reduced $100 'ounty tax for general Co. purposes Mara was raised $80 and Rama $20. As in the case of last year so in this Reach has to pay $2390 for general Co. purposes. But the total assessed value of Reach for the pre- sent year is $1,602,176, hence the rate wheh Teach will have to pay for Feneral Co purposes will be about 15¢. on every $100 for which the party is assessed. . But Reach has also to pay the County $734 for schools; this will give about four and a ha'f cents on every $100, so that adding the two together will male 103 cents. That is for every $100 tax in Reach 19} cents will have to be paid to the County. Port Perry has to pay $370 for general County purposes. But the assessed value of Port Perry is $191, 830; hence for every $100 at which parties in Port Perry are rated they will have to pay about 19% cents for general County purposes. PortPerry pays no Co School rate,sho pays her rate into the department. The legislation of the session was well conducted, considerable care was given to the several bills brought His uniform, careful atter:tion to his patients, his excellent success in westoring them to health, bis thorough knowledge of the healing art, with Lis upright, honorable dealing as-a fellow citizen, render him a valuable addition to any community. That the village of Prince Albert and neighborhood will regret the Doctor's removal is oaly what might be expected after so long and agree- able relationship, both professional- ly and as u neighbor ; but the dis- tance is not great, his old Patrons and friends will easily find him at the Port, while his removal there will prove a convenience to a large majority of his patrons; and many ngw friends, now that he is at the centre of business, will be glad to take advantage of his superior skill. We wish the Doctor a long con- tinued course of -usefalness, with a still increasing measure of that pat- ronage to which his excellent abili- ties justly entitle him. Sunday School Anniversaries. At this season of the year when the hurry of spring work has been got over, and a sort of breathing time is afforded in almost all depart- ments of business ; when nature has spread her most attractive carpet and decked the trees in their 'most luxuriant foliage ; when she has sup- plied her army of tiny feathered songsters with their ieee notes, clothed the suv in his blhdest smil and given to the atmosphere i highest degree of salubrity ; is not such the most fitting time that the faithful shepherds could select to before tho house.

In like manner do the faithful Sabbath School teachers bring forth their little bands of our country's hope, the future champions of truth and soberness, the future standard bear-- ers of the glorious principles of civil and religious liberty, the moral ar- tillery of the world of a few years 'hence. So far from complaining that Sunday School Anniversaries are of too frequent occurence, every succeeding anniversary should be received with additional gratitude to the self-sacrificing officers and teach- ers who are doing so much for the rising generation, and through them for mankind in general. The public ought on every occasion to feel glad ofan Spportunlly of manifesting their hearty "approval of the efforts being put forth by our Sabbath School offi cers and teachers for the best inter-- ests of the rising generation. The public are not only welcome but cordially invited and expeeted to attend these anniversaries. Manchester Sunday School Anni- versary will beheld on Sabbath and Monday 14th and 15th inst.

The Manchester June Fair and Cattle and Butter show were held on Wednesday, 10th inst. The rumber of cattle shown was un- usually small ; this, however, is easily ac- counted for, the grass was unusually late in coming on, and feed was entirely exhausted ere the calle could get ickings outside; the consequence was that the caitle went on to the grass in a most reduced state and have not had time as yet to come up eo far as fit Sem for market.

Mr Bickell said that in the afternoon whatever information could be had would be supplied. . On motion of Mr Gillespie, Mr Helden wai permitted to address the members on the merits of the scheme for extending the PW&PPR. Mr Holden went into a careful analysis of the contemplated scheme ; gives the general directions, lengths and importance of the several stages, as 1t were, of the work, shows the advisability of the several contemplated crossings and tappings in its extension north with the guarantees for success. He referred also to the importance of the several contem- pla'ed branches urging their importance to the comtort as well as the prosperity of large portions of the County, He said that the PW & P P Ras it now is possesses many important advantages over the Nipissing for the people of this county.

Leg leave to report. That atter a careful investigation of the Treasurer's accounts for the years 1969 to 1872 inclusive ; their attention was directed to a thorough scruting of the non-resident taxes of the several municipalities of this county, which disclosed an almost incredible amount of culpable negligence on the part of Mr. Paxton which has entailed a very serious loss especially on the newly settled townships resulting in great embarrassment to some of these townships which had issued debentures on the security of this non-resident fund, Your auditors find that frequently during every year, your treasurer was advised of every sale of land made by the Crown land office, and also of any sale which had been canceled or forteited, at least once every year. Notwithstan-ing this information, your audit, ors find that the treasurer neglected to Teg- ulate his books by these instructions, the result of which neglect has been that at every sale for taxesa great many lots have been advertised, sold and commission and costs of sales charged to townships on a very large number of lots which bal reverted to government and were not in any way liable to sale ; and in several cases these expenses have occurred frequently, and had amounted on the whole to a considerable amount, and for which your auditors believe recourse might be had against Mr, Paxton by the several municipalities effected by his care- lessmess.
