" -~ -- TN Ga ------ TT PORT PERRY, JUNE 18, 1874. eo Taken the Pet. Mr. McKenzie, the snarling Pre- "mier of the Dominion Parliament, is having a spat with the British Co- lumbians and iswery likely to' come off second best from the encounter. Mr. McKenzie and his Government had broken faith with that province regarding the construction of the "Pacific Railway ; this might reason ably be expected to displease the whole province ; but they are not unreasonable and could have been arranged with on reasonable terms ; but such is not the manner in which the Ottawa autocrats do business.-- 'The little, brief authority they have stolen unmasks the despot. Edgar, oue of their party, bein out of em- ployfent, was on the tramp and Mr McKenzie being desirous of having him fed at the Government crib sent him to British Columbia on a sort of roving commission, Geszler like, to raise McKenzie's bat on a pole and make the Columbians bow toit. Edgar presented himself to 'Walkem, the Att-General of that province demanding, mn the name of Canada's great Premier, an imme- diate and unconditional submission. Walkem hofitated and craved time, bpe Edgar, in imitation of that other great ambassador in Rome's best days, drew a circle around Walkem demanding a reply ere ho should leave that spot. Walkem demurred and Edgar flew off <in a towering passion, te'egraphed the result to the emperor, McKenzie, at Ottawa, who ordered his ambassador to de- mand his credentials at once and come home, and home the plenipo- tentiary came in hot haste and a hotter passion. Misfortunes never come single for the ambassador had scarcely set foot on Canadian soil ere he was put in possession Of the fact that the South Oxfordites had by a majority of some 350 votes declared that he was unworthy of their confi- dence and they would not bave him as a representative. This want of confidence motion extended to Edgar's masters. EE The Approaching Contest. The Electors of the West Riding of Peterboro are on tip toe re- garding election matters: The writs for the election are in the 'bands of Sheriff Hall who has placed the nominations for Tuesday 23rd inst., and the election for the Tues- day Jollowing, The candidates are already on the war path, Mr Scott is on the Conservative interast and Mr. Dumble for the Grits.-- The Grits are in a fearful state of #fepidation, they have--nol with- out reason--a wholesome fear of the disastrous consequences of Grit 'misrule. Of course the Examiner and a few more badly tuned organs are doing their little best at whist- ling to keep up the courage of their friends ; but it is all *" put on"; thoy may bave the cheek to wish for vic- tory, but under the circumstances, they cannot hope for it. In all con- science the electors of West Peter- boro will surely never identify themselves with the fearful blunders of the Grit Government by sending another Grit to help them to blufid- er! There can be little doubt that 'the electors, at least 2 very large majority of 1bem, will give their suffrages te Mr. Scott and thus man. ifest their disapproval of the worse than errors of the Grit Governments. #Go in boys anddeaveDumble at home. Let his stay-at-home majority be as darge as possible. Mr Scott know 'how to deal justly with «ll and he will do it. Foresters.

Amongst the multitude of ofiicers, commissioned and non-commissioned real and imaginary, composing the staff of our village Council, we know of no life officer. Though numerous as the gods of the ancient Greeks, and one runs against them at every turn still itis hard to find out the right one.

The Sunday Schools of Brooklin with a large number of their friends to the number of some five hundred or so, accompanied by the band of the 34th hatallion set off per train for Port Perry with the in tention of taking the steamer there for Washburn Island. When they had got to Myrtle they received an important addition to their numbers, swelling the company to somewhere in the neighborhood of 700. Ere the cars had pro. ceeded far it became obvious that there was little chance for out-door enjoyment, When the cars had arrived at Port Perry the steam- er was in waiting to carry the Pic-Nicers to Washburn, island. Quite a number went aboard, but finding the rain continue the boat only went out a few miles and returned and the party landed again at the Port car- rying their yet untouched provisions. The town hall was thrown open for the use of the welcome visitors and most of them re~ paired thither to hold their pic-nic. When the contents of the baskets had been duly explored the company was organized by calling Mr. H. Thomas to the chair. On the ptatform we noticed several Reverend t gentlemen, Minigters of various de- i | nominations, and Mr. Heywood, super- intendent of the Wesleyan Sunddy School, Brooklin.

Mr. Heywood then followed and gave a cap- ital address ; he wound up lus address by moving that the thanks of the party are due and are hereby tendered to the villagers of Port Perry for their generosity in giving the use of their excellent hall. He said such a hall wasa credit to any community, and when he looked around him and called their own hall in Brooklin to mind it suffered badly in the contrast, he hoped however that their township fathers. would do something towards making a respectable hall. Mr Thompson, a member of the band, said it afforded him much pleasure to second the resolution and corroborate the remarks of the mover ; the hall, he said, was really Kand- some, his village, Oshawa, can furnish no such hal. The speaking was interspersed with capi- tal music, vocal and instrumental} the for- mer furnished by a Brooklin Choir, the latter by the Batallion Band from Oshawa. A very pleasant time was spent, and if the rain shorfened the excursion of our Brooklin friends it gave us the pleasure of their com- pany for a much longer time than we other- erwise would have enjoyed it.
