The business of the 2nd day is easily told. The Reeves of Mara and Thorah present- "ed petitions for having the road in the rear of lot 7.in the 11th con of Thorab, straight- ened and for the building of a bridge over the Talbot River. Mr O'Donovan introduced and carried through a bylaw to appoint a county Audi. tor and confirm the appointment made by ithe Warden. Mr G H Grierson was appointed by the Council ana Mt R H Lawder by the warden. The salary of the Auditors was fixed at $60 each. THIRD DAY. The Warden took the chaiiat 10:30 a m. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. * Mr Kwers presented a petition from cer- tain infinbitants of 8. Section 11 of Reach, praying for an alteration in the boundaries of sections 10 and 11. Mr Holman presented a petition from 8. section 10 against any changes being made in the boundaries of said section. A petition was presented by the Reeve of Mara praying for a grant of $500 to assist in the erection of a bridge over the Severn. A petition from 8 Section no 7 Reach for certain alterations in the boundaries of - said section, "The report of Mr Beader, Commissioner of tthe Scugog bridge, was read showing an ex- penditure of $200 and asking for an appro- fpriation of $100 for the present year, Mr LJ Gould moved for leave to introduce a by-law to appoint two Auditors to Audit the accounts of criminal justice for the county and that the same be now read a first time. On motion of Mr Gould the bylaw was read a second time and the Council resolved itself into committee of the whole thereon Mr Bigelow in she chair. Mr Gould moved that the blanks be filled mp with the names of Messrs J 8 M Willcox and B ¥ Campbell. Me Bickell said that under the circmm-- stances he considered that it would be wise not to press this appointment just now, there is no particular hurry and no interest would suffer by deferring this appointment till the stternoon, There are certain matters con- nected with the accounts of this department in the past which have been bronght to. his .notice the particulars of which he has rot had an opportunity of investigating and he did not wish to make any statement cencerning it until 4nrther inquiry and for these reasons he would move in amendment that the ap- pointment of auditors be deferred till the af- ternoon. Mr Gillespie said he wanld:be glad to sec- ond the amendment of 'Mr (Bickell, there certainly were some -irregularities in. these _aceountswhich ought to be cléared np before precending to appoint auditors. It has been found that large amounts of money connect-- ad with this department have been paid which ought not to have been paid and till some «xplanation has been given it would 'be wrong to the reappointing of the officers and it is certainly not asking too much to have this matter put off till «the af- ternoon Mr Gould said it would be better to pro- ceed with the appointment, that would in no way interfere with the investigation. Mr Gillespie said that there would be an explanation looked for from the auditors and he considered that the degree of satisfaction given hy that explanation would have gome- thingto do with their reappointment, ana certainly the council will not demurat hav- ing the appointments delayed till the after- DOD, The council arose and reported and asked sleave-to git again in the afternoon.

He would liked had the valuators been before the commitiee, fo ask somequestions as to whether the vahmat- ors had taken into account the mapid increase future in the value of those timber lands an the nerth ; lands in the south be ex- pected to rise in value in any proportion; with those timber lands in the north. He the money spent in this valuation as Jittle better than wasted . Mr Ewers says that there has beep very little change made. Mr Gillespie says the scveral numbers of acres in the townships have all been copied from the journal except Mara and that has got quite an increase, -but there is mo infor. wsation-as to where the -addition has come from. 'He is aware that Brock is proportion- al,y higher than most other townships he certainly does not think much of the valua- tion ; and.as for the inginuation of the Rueve of Port Perry it-does not go far with the members from Brock for they can get elected without having recourse to tricks. Messrs Rowland, St John, Foley, Fearby and Holman all approved of the valuation and would be willing that it should stand for five years, «Dr McGill considers this as one of those esti n which every her should ex- press himsedf, for his part he would not. let the opportunity pass without stating what he thinks on a question-of such importance, it is a question that he would not Jike to go home without having something to say en'dt.

On motion of Mr Shaw the by-Rw was read a 1st and 2nd time and the council went into committee of the whole Mr Kel- lett in the chair. Mr. Jones says he is in favor of appointing two awsessors, the very inequal assessment of Inst year is a sufficient reason for going in for some radical change and be done to secure a fair, equitable assessment it is time it was 'done, and he would be willing to give his support $0 the appoint. ment of two good men aad 'paying them a fair salary.

Mr Shaw canmot sec why: one good man could not do the work satisfactorily ; he is prepared to admit the necessity for some change from the manner in which the as- sessment was made last year, if an equitable and correct asscesment was nade one year it might be a guide to futnre assessors.

The matter was laid over. Mt Davis came before the counci! regard. ing afreduction of twenty percent from his'as sessment that of last yea being altogether out of proportion with other property in the cor- poration, his property was then assessed, for $+.300. Mr Currie said it was rather singular pro. ceedure to ask this council to ratify the as- sessment of last year, a something which doen not concern this council at all it is .a matter which the Jste council should have dealt with.

The Reeve said that the late council had promised Mr Davis a reduction, ' Mr Jones says that any such promises on the part of the Council of last year were not binding on the council of the present year and he did not see how this council could legally forego any portion of the assessment of the present.yeat, On motion of Mr Shaw $ir Davis' matter was laid over till next meeting of Council.

The following resolution was carried unane imously ;-- © That the Brethren of this Lodge learn with indignation and regret of the persistent and malicious slanders hurled against the Orange Institution by Mr Adam Gordon, the repro ve of North Ontario in the Do- minion Parliament. That Mr Gordon's course towards our order betrays a malici and vindictive disposition as contemptible as itis mean. That by his venomous and unwarrantable attacks on an institution of the principles of which he appears to be as profoundly ignorant as be is incapable of appreciating the value of the services 1t has rendered and js now rendering to the cause of Protestantism throughout the world, Mr. Gordon evinces a corruptness of mind dis- graceful to any man, and particularly so to ome dishonoring the otherwise honorable position of representative of this county. -- That the Biathren regret that one holding the position of M P should so far degrade himself by descending to utter untruthful and malicious #landers against an instiution second to no other secular ingtitution in existence. Be it therefore resolved that wo the mem- bers of this Jodge do indigantty hurl back in the face of Mr Gordon those foul aspersions which he appears to take 80 mueh pleasure in casting upon our beloved order.
