Thirty-two representative of the wealth, intellect and enterprise of the county, but we consider this innu- merable host an unnecessary oX- pend:ture of valuable material.-- What benefit can be expected from sending two, and in some instances four, representatives from one mu- nicipality would be difficult to find out. One representative from each . municipality is quite enough in all conscience, quite enough to transact the business efficiently, in much less time and at less than half the cost of the present system. It may be ob- jooted that larger municipalities would have no more influence at the council board than smaller ones, but such need mot be the case cven should there be only one reprosenta- tive from each municipulity, for each representative might hare one vote for every so many electors in the municipality he represents. This would andwer every purpose; for the reeve before going to the Coun: ty Council would take the opinion of his fellow councilors on the several subjects, at least the more important of them, likely to come before the Co. Council. This system would prove every WAY superior to the present cumbrous, costly, unsatis- factory system, the sessions would be shortened and the business better done than it can be by the present powieldy house, alléf whom having a longing defire after immortality, ombrace every opportunity, in sea: son and out of season, to air their ologuence and thus carve for them- selves a niche in the temple of fame, regardless of the time taken up and ptter ruin of the subject under ~ugation.

But in the event of the by- law carrying and the Dunkin Act being put in force no spirituous liquor could be sold in any township or village in the county, as only wholesale licenses can be granted provisions of thenew License Act for the province of Ontario mo one can sell by wholesale' without a license for that purpose, and'the Act forbids tho granting of such licenses except in cities and tow Of course it a distillery were gitaate in a township or village such distillery may sell ite own manufacture by wholesale. But as thore is no distillery in this county the town ot Whitby is the the only place in.this county where spirituous. liqaur could be legally sold if the Dunkin Act should pass-- and there only by wholesale, "not less than fire gallons at a time. Tt is sincerely to be hoped that the sprond made by hon. members at the January and June sessions .of last yeur on the subject of the Dunkin Act will suffice for somo years to come and that on this occasion they will vote a simple yea or nay on the submission of the byslaw. memm----gm-- The Close of the War. The municipal war in Reach is now o'er and the couquores are collecting the spoils. A majority of the electors who polled their votes said that they wished the re- election of Mr. Ewers as Reeve, while Messrs Dobson and Burnett have bean elected councilors. Bo that the Reach council for 1877 will be A. W. Ewers, Reeve; John Mow- bray 1st D. Reeve; P. Christie, 2nd D. Reeve; and J. Dobson and L. Burnett, Councilors. | That tho defeat of Mr. St. John ia to be regretted as far as the best in- teresty of the township are concern- od will, we think, be addmitted by all. and still it is not surprising, under the circumstances, that Mr. St. John should be defeated. In the first place a government was arrag- ed with Mr St. John as Roeve, Mr. Holman as 1st Deputy, the rest of 'the ticket had not taken shape. This went on so far that Mr. Holman was canvassing for the pas- ition of 1st Deputy in the St. John government, thus people had made up their minds thac this was a bona fide arrangement prepared to go to the polls, Mr. 8t. John as Reeve, and Mr. Holman as 1st Deputy.-- Matters remained in this position till the last meeting of council when Mr. Eweraset a trap for Mr. St. John by inducing him to relinquish his pretentiona to the reeveship and allow him (Ewers) the position for another year and that by the other members of council retaining their "tions will be such that no oof ocungil would find itself justified jn refusing to grant the prayer of said petitions. It may be, however, that oounter petitions may be got up and these will have an effect in propor- tion to the number aad influence of dhe potitioneyt, and may even have the effact of preventing the submis. "sion of the by-law at all. Of course if there are parties serionsly opp: 83d 0 the passage of the by-law they will doubtless got up petitions tothe County Council prayieg that such 2 by-Jai y may not be submitted to the Fatepuydrs; 10 Such case (he county council will be im 'a position to all in by acclamation. The bait took gal consepting' the news soon litical party horse and spurs with all the Dunkin horse that Mr. St. John had got on before him, he at once tame an active missionary for Mr. Ewers, dismounta the .temperance horse, and straddles on behind Mr. Ewers on the anti-Dankin and pol- his might to drive Mr. Ewers into the winning post ahead of Mr. St. Jobn, Mr. Ewers did get in by a small nuajority. S------ The Warden. Now that the municipal eleations have been got through and the com. position of the County Council is fully understood, the next mat- ter of anxiety for the county is the Warden for 1877. Asa matter of course ' the selection will and ought to be influenced by three con siderations, first the ability of the party selected, the time he has served in the ranks and the claim which the municipality he repre- seots has to the honor of securing the appointment. From whichever point of view the ap- pointment may be viewed, we cannot, for the life of us, see how the claims of the township of Brock" can be got over ; it is confessedly 'one of the most.important townships in the county, and it has kad the good taste t) send to the County Council a "staff of representatives creditablealike to the connty and to {he township they represent. Squire Gillespie, the Reeve of Brock, has certainly won his spurs as a representative at the county Council, his aim has never been the honors but the duties of the Council, he has from year given bis time and his talents to the best interests of the County and bas never songhl recognitiop in the shape of preferment at the hands of the Coynty Coun- cil, apd while men of inferior abilities and infinitely less claim haye stepped to the front, Mr. Gillespie wae never the man to dispute their claims or obstruct their passage into the highest houor ip the gift of the Council. So that taking all things into considers. tion the County Council would do them- selves credit by rising above every other consideration than that of right and justice and giving to Brock apd its worthy Reeve the honor of presiding over the deliberations of the County Council for the present year. If long service, indisputable abilities and local position have not sufficient olaim on the honorable position of Warden of this fair county then we have miscalculated the claims necessaty ' to secure the honorable position. We have no hesitancy in assert. ing that if the whole county were polled that an over whelming majority of the electors would say by their votes, aside of any other consideration got be premature d bis disappointment de commit official suicide by ent which had no aay wy RB "abroad and the Bt.

This i« awfully severe, cutting to the very quick, and 1b made the Managing Director roar and dip both hands into the ink and sling it around. him like grape shot; but he only succeeded in making bad worse and sinking himself deeper in the mire.

The local press of Oshawa give a glowing description of the Grand Entertainment given by the ladies of the Demill College, Oshawa, pre- vious to the closing for the holidays. The audience was large and the young ladies gave them a fine in: telloctdal treat which drew foith oxpressions of admiration from the large and delighted. audience. Wo were much pleased to notice that our village, Prince Albert, was well representad amongst the fair per- formers, Miss Cash sustained ber- self admirably, she gave some fine susie and an admirable essay on indiscriminate Light Reading.-- This institution bas already attained an enviable position amongst the ladies' colleges, of this continent,and the success which has already at- tended it must be a source of grati- fication to the indefatigable presi dent, Rev. Mr." Demill, the other vocates of a thoroughly practical, useful and ornamental education as well as instilling and developing the most desired accomplishments in young ladies. Already the success and advan tages of this institution are well and widuly known and young Indies from tar us well as near sre taking ad- vantage oi the splendid ndvantagos tarnished by the 1nstitation.

But while all will be ready to admit the necessity for cultivating the social element in our nature, none, we think, will dispute tie much greater necessity for and still more import- ance of cultivating the religious element in our nature, 'The universal query is, Who will show us any good? and we gladly snatch at every opportunity of securitg so- cial pleasure, we should with more avidity soek the higher and more lasting benefits of spiritual good, The next will doubtless be an impostant week, ---- Enlarging their Borders.
