The Assessment Masta. of last year. This enormous increase in the as- sessed value may produce injurious results, Suppose a party was asses- sed last year for $2,000 and who has his assessment raised this year to $6000 runs away with the idea tbat he is worth three times as much this year as he was last and therefore can afford to pit on a little more style he will soon run himself ashore, he will soon come to learn that the assessment will not make his prop- erty-one cent more or less valuable. Ob the other hand some people suppose that becauso their proper- ties are assessed higher than former ly that, therefore they will have more taxes to pay, but this by no means follows for it does not matter We very much doubl whether the vesult of any former 'Assessment was ever looked forward to withore balf the interest which attaches to the present effort. Everywhere the Present assessment is the the theme of conversation and thiv is nos eon- confined to one locality, one town- ship, one counuty, or even one Prov- ince. On every hand we hear of the gigantic feats of Assessorship, some of our western municipalities are sendingforth somewild rumors ; from one township we learn that the As- sessor for the present year has rated the township at exactly five times as much as it was last year, and there is searcely a municipality we know of whose assessed value has not been largely increased, nearly double that pe---- Lisa in other words increasing the amount of assessment for each days statute labor. Every council in the province ought to take this matter in hand and so arrange the scale that it wont increase the number of days labor which in fuct was always two high. ---- Tidy up for Summer. New that the great Winter is past andPheebus begins to assert his right, whisper words of comfort to the fast relaxing earth, it is of the utmost importance, not only to the «general appearance of the locality but to the comfort and health of the people that a determined and united crusade be entered on for the removal and ex- termination of the winter's accumu- lation of filth and rubbish. That black and unsightly slime the resi- due of the "beautiful" snow left all around our doors and streets cannot be too soon removed. A couple. of days spent around the premises at this season of the year scraping away slush,gathering up pieces of wood'and tidying up generally is of the great. est importance and may be the means of warding off fevers and other diseases which not unfrequently cost their victimsthe summer's work if not their lives. Dou not allow these ac- cumulations of winter, tho slime and slush to lie around the premises ex- posed to the action of the hot suns of summer and to be moistened anew with every returning shower and again being exposed to the sun's rays send forth their noxious vapors freighted with diseases of the most malignant nature and rendering the otherwise balmy and salubrious at- mosphere sickeningly disagreeable. These remarks apply to all but they are especially applicable where dwellings are gathered in close proximity to each other, such agin villages towns, &c, &c. The assume his blandest smiles and ag possible for the large profits their dair- if the land in a municipality were assessed at a thousand dollars an acre or one dollar an acre the amout of tax in both cases would be exagtly the same. Ifall the property in a municipality be assessed in 2a fair proportion to its value it matters not a cent how high or how low the waluat'oa may be, if the va'u.tion is placed high thé rate on the dollar will be proportionally less and if placed low the rate on a dollar will be high in proportion. A corpor- inhabitants ofevery village,&c ought to see it to be their interest as weli as their duty to join the general cru- sade against everything noxious, have their village neat and trim, pleasant and healthy. Wo. would rejoice 'to sce the day when the vil- lages of Reach would establish a yearly competition in matters of cleanliness in the yards, streots and premises, and let prizes be awarded to thoso that excel. Might not the inhabitants of Epsom, Utica, Man- ation requires acertainamountof mon- ey say $20,000 torun it and suppose the. total assessment of that corpora- tion $2,000,000 then the rate of that chester, Greenbank, Saintfield, and Prince Albert go into such a competition ; whether prizes or not each village should have an corporation would be one cent on very dollar of assessment. Again auppose that the same corporation requiring its $20,000 to run it were "assessed at only $200,000 this would require a rate of 10 cents on every " doflarofassessment. Again suppose ia the high assessment A's projp- erty was assessed at $10,000, in the lower assessment it would only be assessed $1,000; in the high assessment it was shown that the rate was only one cent in the dollar whereas in the lower assessment the raie was shown to be 10 cents in the dollar so that A's assessment ambition to excel all others in order and cleanliness. Let the matter be taken up and the intelligence and energy of these villages will soon manifest itself in the most satisfac: tory manner and the result will be to add largely not only to the ap: pearance of the village but to the com fort and health of the villagers. Let some one village set the example -- Special attention to the yards and back premises is of the utmost im- portance in any locality but especi- ally so in large accumulations of dwellings and business places such as Port Perry. Is this being attend- ed to here ? in the one case would be exactly x i. e. one eent in the dollar for $10,000 or ten So be laid aside as to high valuation affecting all the property be assessed pro- portionately according to its value it makes not the slightest difference how high or how low the valuation may be placed, it won't make ene But there is not the slightest doubt but that the best way for all concerned ~--the most comfortable and safe way for the assessor, the most satisfactory tor-the assessed, and the only way to get at the true value of the several municipalities is to assess all property as near as possible to its cash value. But there is one feature in the present and almost universal rise in the valuation which calls for a change in the scale for the statute labor. The act sets fourth that every male inhabitant botween the . sgeaof 2% and 60 years, if not other- by law, shall be liable for" riot less than two days siatute labor whether thse parties names be : assessment roll or not.-- Parties assesced for $300 or under are liable to 2 days labor, more than $300 but not more than $500,3 days; the samo as in the other cents in the dollar for $1,000. that sll disquitude may the amount of taxes.

There are few Societies which have made such pro- gress in so ghort a space of time as thisSocietybave done ; they have now as fine a hall and FaijGrounds as are to be found anywhere,and while the accommodations are complete the improvement in Stock is no less en- eouraging.

The tea was served in the basement of the church which makes a very comfortable dining room. Our Presbyterian lady friends never fail in getting up a choice tea, plenty of it and do all that can be done to make their guests comfortable, and if the cheerful countenances and merry laugh are any indi cation of satisfaction everything must have been highly satisfactory to all present. After tea the company retired 'to the Church to enjoy the lecture. On motion of Mr Shaw, Geo Currie, Esq. was called to the chair, The Chairman introduced the second part in his usual pleasing style referring to the growing interest which Canadians felt in everything connected with the Great North West and expressed his satisfaction that an opportunity was about to be afforded us of hearing something of those vast regions from a gentleman who has been in that country for a considerable time. After a piece of music from the church Choir the chairman introducd the Rev. Mr. Vincent who at once entered. upon his subject not keeping us hovering around the outskirts but at once bringing us face to face with the rude and yet untamed grandeur of that great great land, introducing us to som: ofits ma- jestic scenery, its boundless plains, majestic forests and magnificent rivers and' lakes ; he passses before us in quick succession some of its most attractive as well as some of its most repulsive features;he made us acquainted with its principal products, animal, veget- able and mineral. He speaks of the won. derful extent te which the fur trade is carried on and the enormous profits realized by the Hudson-Bay Company from their furs--pro- fits amounting to $180,000 in one year.-- What a prodigious slaughter of the farry tenants of these majestic forests must every year take place in order to furnish such a quantity ot fur. The speaker leads us through the mighty forests of the McKenzie district, describes its products and interviews its inhabitants. In speaking of the minerals of the country he points exultingly to the almost inexhaustable supply of coal crowd- ing its way through the surface of the ground. But unlike the mercenary hireling paid by speculators to praise not to describe the country so as to entrap the unwary, the Rev, Gentleman gavea fair and faithful state- ment of factsas he found them, While he described the many beauties and magni ficence of the country he faithfally described its defects, its large extent of not over wal. usable soil, the treacherous frosts which mar the prospects of the husbandman, he scouts the assertion and shows to what extent it) may be sald that harses and cattle can graze out over winter, showing that if it be true i) grass hoppers get more thau a passing notice while his description of the merciless attacks of the myriads of overgrown double edged mosquitoes made one quiver all over. .

On motion of Mr Shaw, Mr Park's account was ordered to be paid, Mr Shaw stated that calls are being wade on of one spot in the village, He will tell the Council that if that is attempted this year the ratepayers will demand that the corpora-- tion be divided into wards and they will have it done unless a fair division of the Statute Labor be made, Mr. Jones introduced and carried rah a by-law to appoint a Street Commissioner, Carctaker of the Town Hall; and Village Constable, to define the duties thercof and fix the Salary.

Council on matters of much interest to the corporation Leave being granted, Mr. Crandell rising said, Mr. Reeve, and gentlemen, I have a little grievance to state and if the Council removes or explains the matter satisfactory, I will be ready to give them a clean sheet otherwise I will hold them to account.-- The matter of which he complained of was this, he had becn informed that the Com. mittee on Streets had purchased or agreed to purchase twenty thousand fect of Lumber for the use of the corporation, but in place of purchasing this Lumber from the manu. facturers within the corporation they had given the contract to manufacturers outside the corporation whieh, if true, is not fair and the ratepayers would consider ita grievance ; but he hofles that the committee will be able to clear the matter up satisfactorily. Another matter matter he wished to speak on was the appointment of a village con- stable, It has been suggested to appoint such an officer ata salary of $75a year but he considers this would be a waste of public money as he would be willing to perform the duties without charging thc corporation one dollar,he would ask no more than the regular fees, this he would do for the benefit of the corporation, he is a constable of fifteen years standing, the first in factin the whole neigh- borhood. He is not forced into this business as he has a standing offer of $1,800 & year and all expenses paid.
