On Tuesday, 20th ult, in passing along per train from Port Perry to Whitby we ship- ped as we passed along by the several sta ons, companics and parts of companies of volunteers belonging to the 84th battal-- ion on their way to camp for their 16 days annual drill. The Reach company started with us from Port Perry. While we were pleased to see them all so cheerful and hear their merry Jaugh, yet we could not pre vent the th that it was most injudici in the party whoever he may be who has the control in these matters to call the battallion out at this season of the ycar when exposure to the cold night air is cven more dangerous and more disagreeable than in the dead of winter. We were glad, however, to sce them all turning out without a murmur. As we passed from station to station, however,when we found other companies who should have joined in strength turning out their baker's dozen the rest absolutely refusing to go.-- While we could scarcely blame the young men under the circumstances we admired all the more the courage and discipline of our own who turned out like men. As we have already stated we could scarcely blame the young men for absolutely refusing to turn out under the circumstances. Forced to leave their homes and expose themselves to the inclement night air ofa scason of the year when the chilly airs of night are more disagrecable and more likely to be injurious to the health than of any other season of the year while the wretched, miserable pay (60 cents per day) is not enough to maintain a cat. If men are wanted to go owt why not study their comfort and give them at least' hing like a tion for their services. -- ee Death upon the Boys. The Standard Granny--true to his instincts pursues the boys with deadly maliginity and whenever a chance presents itself miser never clutched his gold with more avidity than the granny siczes the opportunity of taking a stab at the boys. but when two otherwise men unaccustomed to the effects of the Amongst the many who attended the Port Perry show on the 26th ult., prigs, pick pockets and black legs the granny did not havea word to say respectable young in- wailing and gnashing of political teeth. The following is alist of the deaths ifit be a | caused by corruption till date; but lots more are just on the point of death, suffring the most excruciat-- ing agony as they see their end ap- proacbing : Marquet te lsseX Cunningham, McGregeor. feDouald. Chambly W. North The above all passed away strong in the Grit faith, but were a. perfect mass of corruption before their decease. Their disease was both | contageous and infectious. © A poor | fellow, White, of N. Renfrew--not a Grit political heretic but an ortho- | dox Conservative, came too near the diseased parties, caught the infection | and was. carried oif. The disease | with him was of a mild type but} still it carried him off as a warning | to others not to touch the unclean | thing. We do not know what may | become of the vacant seats, but it | the disease is to be arrested the cause must be removed, and the only | way to remove it is {0 suppress Grittism in the infected districts. Political Quackery. A knot of political quacks in the City of Toronto at at work in thei usual underhand style with a viow of introducing a panacea not to cure| political corruption but to condone it. A Ring of* Grits and Tories in| Toronto and Kingston with their, usual insolegce are secking to step forward and clog the wheels of jus. t'ce by screening the guilty from the Just reward for their political guilt. A rving of Tories in Toronto are coquetting with a ring of Grits in Kingston ; the Kingston Grits offer to withdraw their protest against the return of Sir John A, if the Toronto Conservatives will withdraw their protest against the return of the notorious O'Dovo- | hue, et a2. Who but the most insolent and | hardened political humbug whether Grit or | Lonservative, would for a moment entertain | 'the idea of condoning political corruption | under any circumstances, Let the law take | "ts course and let the guilty suffer be he who he may. . : At the late election for the Domiuion Parliament the city of Toronto returned! three Grits and it is generally supposed that euch of them obtained his seat by means of | tle mos. transparent corruption, and it is| generally believed that the first ray of legal | light that is brought to bear upon these elections the members will be driven from | their seats, But the Toronto Grits with | their usual refined ideas of purity are anx-| fous that such a compromise be made as will | hush up all investigation and let the guilty | go free. No man deserving a day's exist- ence in a free country would, for a moment, ive his sanction to any such evasion of the 10 by which men who obtained their seats by the most corrupt means would be allowed fo take theirsea's in the legislature and | legisla'e after the same fashion aggf they | had secured their seats. Shall we be parties to hushing np corrup- *tion ? Nol never | never | never ! A Ap PBzcuse for Grit Eztrava- gance. Archy McKellar says that if there is no amore money in the provincial treasury than RBykert says there isit will be well for the Grits to spend it lest the Conservatives get into. power. ~--Picture shops and cabinet es- are pricking np at the idea 4 | | / \ { | garded by the publicas.a proof | the superiority of the animal ; and ock animal it will be pecuniary advant to the owner as lit will be an indication to the public | where the best stock animals are to { be found, and stock breeders will | take advantage of the information i thus furnished and patronize the "man who keeps the best stock ani- mals. ¢ Bat let incompetent or un- i faithful judges be selected and the | { whole becomes ano | and worse than a ¢ | the prizes are awarded (o favorites | irrespective of the quality of the an- | imals; the owners of the best stock [are wronged and disgusted, and an [attempt thus made to impose upon far | and defrand the public by recom- { mending to them as the best animals shown those which are per- haps only third or fourth® rate.-- To see such animals flaunting over the field with a 1st prize ticket at their ear while animals. of the same c¢l infinit superior, have to be satisfied witha 3rd or perhaps no prize at all make one feel ashamed of the whole concern. This is a agrant wrong, a proof of incompet- ence or something worse in the judges; a cvime for which the society ought to be held responsible and for which a public apology ought to be offered to the owners of | the stock whieh have thus been de- | graded by unskillful or unworthy li There is no surer way of ng uw society or bringing it into { merited contempt than hy appointing judges who either can not or will not" perform their duties properly and honorably. At the close of all shows a certain amount of dissatisfaction is expressed against the decisions ot the judges even when the judges are both efli- cient and honorable, for even ther they may mako mistakes or 'what is more likely parties may blame them wrongfully. However the decisions of the judges at the lafe show have been the subject of more unfavorable criticism than that of any 'previous show. In many instinces the judg- went was perfectly ridiculous ; we could give namberless instances bat will only giveoneas a sample. In the class Saddle or Carviage Stallions, Peat's Master King, Major's Black Morgan and Bryant's Charley Kim- | ble were shown together. The 1st prize was awarded to Charley Kim- ble 2nd to Black Morgan and 3rd to Master King. The almost uni- versally expressed opinion of all who saw the horses was that Master King and not Kimble should have had the 1st. We are informed by the owner of Master King that he talked to oneof the Judges on the morning after the Shew and asked him why he had made such an award, did he not know that Master King wasin every way better worthy of first fivize than Charley Kimble ? and that the judge replied that he was well aware of | that, he knew that Master King should have had the Ist prize but he conld do nothing the prizes were arsanged before the horses were brought out at all; hehada mind to quit the ring before he would santion the fraud but he did not wish to create a rumpus. Such is certainly a most iniquitons system of Judging and calculated to bring an society into contempt and make owners of good stock afraid to exhibit at the shows of | society that will tolerate such injustice.-- We give only one instance amongst several which call for remedy iu future ere all our another Laul, Canoe alia k" wil : # complete set of such pictorial literature as are contained in Little gd and other may be looked for and anew park of liquor artillery, &c., &c,, will be amongst the day is not far distent when thrown aside as a useless, ex- doubtful From a public notice in the Ontario Ga- zetie we find that the hand, village of .best exhibi become disgusted.

We attended the trial and took down the evidence in full ; but both the ap- pearance of the young men and the drift of the evidence convinced us that they were | both respectable young men, so we determin. ed to suppress the whole matter, feeling as we did that its publication would have a tendency to injure but conld in no way ben- cfit the young men neither could it possibly benefit any one else and more especially as they faithfully promised carefully to avoid in future that which lad so deprived them of reason on that occasion, Neddy, ou the other hand, took none of the evidence, but the opportunity was too good for getting a fling at his natural encmies, the boys, and he rushes into print with a few garbled statéments--anything at all, in fact, go that he might have a rap at the boys. Come, boys, let Neddy Lave a leather medal ! CR, A Open Court. The adjourned court for revising the Voter's List for the township of Reach was held in the Town Ilall, Manchester, on Wed. nesday, 7th inst. The Court was expected to open at 10 am and parties were present from all parts of the township some leaving business of the ut- most importance, but for some unexplained reason the court did not open till 1 pm and of comrse the partics had to wait till thy court did open however much it might in Jure their business, The Court opened at i p.m. Judge Burnham presiding. Esq, His Honor John Christie, wnship Clerk, being Clerk of the Court. W C Heard, Bailiff. P A Hurd Esq, watching the interests of the Conservatives and W M Cochrane, Esq, watching the inter- ests of the Grits. The Court on this occasion was slim when { compared to the first day, neither thé num- bers present nor a like inte rest being mani- {ested to that of the first day. The lights of both parties were on hand and appeared to take an active interest in the proce ! several of them appearing in |a highly excited state. 2 We were plensed tosee the {wo assessors at their posts defending their acts; it they could be assailed, but certainly there was no room to complain of the acts of the assessors who, to say the least of it, acted with the most even handed justice to all parties leaving not the slightest room for complaint against them for partial dealing, As assess- ors they did not only act impartially but according to former modes of assessing they were theroughly orthodox. The remaining appeals of Messrs, Leding- ham and Bewell were proceeded with, The name of John Christie, Sen. was struck off by consent. The name of John McKay was also struck off by consent. The appeal against J B Lagzier had been with-- drawn. L B Lazier was first called ; but respond- ent being absent the Court remarked that he might put on a man's name in his absence, but he would not like to strike him off if he were not present and have an opportunity .to defend his position. Mr Cochrane demurred, saying that it would be ringular to leave a man's name on the list who has no right fo a vote simply because he happens to be absent. That the Assessors coming here and asserting that parties have a right to vote ought not to be id pe iwas little if any improvement upon the judg- dug. Every member of the society had a ertect right and claim to two admission 'kets to pass into the grounds, but a large vumber of the members got no such ticket and when some of them went to ask ope they had the bencfit of a denial followed with an oath--if people are to be wronged they might be wronged civily without . hav. ing the benefit of a cursing to the bargain.-- One man and that one of the most res. - Orillia has from her girlship and donned her long robes and is coming ont in early womanliood.

This was one of our most trust- worthy people still his word could not be | taken for a miserable twenty-cent ticket, ~The matter of entries was also very objec-- tionable ; lots of people who owned old things scarcely able so creep through the gate way entered them for single driying horses while they had not the slightest intention of showing them but simply to dive around the y ou prin ies who were Yonesk about not to act a practical lie were deprived of the pri vilege, d io entitle them to a vote The Court replied that in the-absence of any proof to the contrary, he could not see why that should not entitle their names to remain ou the list. Any partp's name being found on the assessment roll is prima facie ovidence that they have a right toa vote and it is for the parties who object to the name remaining on the list to show why it should be cnt off.
