This is not ineluding the whole nest of commissioned officers, whole swarms of the worthless sprouws of the national parasites who luxuriate n the proceeds of the sweat and fi of the toiling ones. That stand- ing armies are a universal curse, the tyrant's shield, the bane of trae lib- erty and an incubus on the indus- trial energies of the world will be denied by no one, except it:may be by those within the ring. Now is the time for Canadians to set their face against the introduction of the imposture. Ouly give it a start and the results are not difficult to forsee.

A Yawning Gulf Immediately opposite Professor Stout's toneorial establishment in the principal street of our village, a yawning gulf has been frowning on the passing throng for the last eight days. It is large enough to admit a span of horses and deep enough to reach to ----, well it may have a bottom byt we would not like to be sent to search it out. In Rome's palmiest days a similar gaif mysteriously opened in the midst of the forumi(it too was bottomless) TheAugurs said the gulf would never close until the most valuable thing in the city were thrown into it, when it would at once close of its own accord. The famous Codros hearing this, arrayed himself in his {most gorgeous trap- pings, mounted his war horse and -leaped into the gulf which closed immediately -- This Codros held about the same position in Rome which Reeves do in our Villages, but we don't know whether a repetition of the experiment would have a similar effect, and we should hate to lose our Reeve if the hole should not close. S-- Accident. The Methodists of this locality having nearly completed the erection of their hand- some new brick church, in Port Perry, large numbers of the members and others connect. ed with the church turned out on Monday last to tidy up the grounds, clean away all rubbish, make walks, &c, preparatory to the Grand Opening Day on the 18th inst. -- Amongst the many who turned in to give ~ with him a splendid team of horses.

After dinner the show might be said to begin in carpest. <n the way q@ agricultural Implements we found Mr. Johnsto n, from Port Perry, exibiting a variety of these Row famous Seed Drills and Broadcast Sowers from the Hall works Oshawa all of which attracted a very large share of attention, and Mr Johnston was not slow in discusing their merits, and all that he urged in their favo, was corroborated by those who had such machines or who knew their vulue: Mr, Johnéton succeeded in selling one machine and securing the prospect of selling several others, Mr. Sylvester of the Enniskillen Agricul- tural works bad quite a display of choice im- plements ; the well established reputation of .these works is a sufficient guarantee for the excellence of these implements.
