We are pained to lve to chronicle a mel- holy and fatal accident which' took place in Another Heat. fin The Dunkinites in | Prince Edwatd County some eight or nine months ago had a race with the and the former Esnit nte. Jort Penty, on the af of : '20th fast, A poor, old, infirm man, named Taylor, in the eighty-fifth year of his age, being } in indigent sissumsiual, was out on increased in stature, grown rich, fat magnificent School Buildings and instruction communicated at our Collegiate, day ot "our County Legis] an minag the starch and buckram, the | ns quite as interesting as « gmmghiiod of our, "Provincial al It is true that there were no Guards of Honor, Body «Guards, Royal Sulutes, and such Tambig,bat the gathering was none the Tess interesting from the absence of such nonsence: As two o'clock, p.m. the bour for opening the session, approved hon. members might be seen leaving their hotels jin groups and making towards the council chamber all takivg Warden tothe entire exclusion of every ' . other subject, and out of the thirty- wo M. C. P's at least one dozen had hats on which wuld come handy and appear dignified on the Ward- en's chair, and knowing winks and significant nods were the order of the day, while the more cunning diplomats might be seen whipping in the forces and maturing their plans for defeating this one and carrying that. On arriving at the Hull the Body Guard, Guard of Hon- or and Royal Salute were tound con- centrated in Mr Blow the worthy messenger who preformed the triple duty to a demonstration. When all bud got seated Mr Mucdonell, not exactly the McDonuld Lieut-Gov- ernor of the province but the Licut.- Gov. of the county. Having read the speech from throne he retired and left hon membess to their own meditation requesting them to elect | a prime minister at their earliest conveunicnce. This struck perfect silence inte the ranks and one gota full view of the M. C. P's as they sat in silent majesty a somewhat formidable army. We felt us if we would like to bet asmall sum that the thirty-two M. C. P's (unlike the thirty tyrants of ancient Greece) avhich we saw before us would com- pare favorably, whetl@r physically, intellectually or moxally, with a like number of our M. P. P's. The village of Oshawa again leads the wight wing, but this time with large- 1y ineveased forces both in numbers "and weight, in pounds; Brock, Whitby and E. Whitby take rank in order after Oshawa. The left wing is again led by Whitby town but its veteran leader bas got a re- cruit with. him this time, and taking the pet he has crept intothe Warden's chair. Port Perry, Scugog, Uxbridge Village, and Roach have sent trained war- iors into the field. Pickering has sent a multitude this time-and bas given us nearly all the colors in the rain- bow ; we have got White and Green, and should have had Brown. They form a formidable auxiliary led by a foeman worthy of the bost steel on hat floor, Beaverton too has in- cregsed ber forces this time, From present appearances the time is not far distant when every member of all the township councils in the, county will havea right to sit in 1he County Conneil, then the farce will be complote.

Now, however, she bea gins to strut around and suppose that she can go into house-keeping on her own account, she wishes to cut the cord which binds her to the township and in future paddle her own cance. As to the wisdom of the proposed course a majority of the ratepayers will doubtless decide that as it depends extirely on the elasticity of their internal affairs, The change in their status will make a great.change in their influ ence both in the county and town- ship, in fact as an incorporated vil: lage they 'will cease to vxercise any perceptible influgnce in the township | and while the taxes collected in the it villagers must remember that the village will be expended i in the advantage of this expenditure is more imaginary than real. When a pays largely into the township treasury in way of taxes they can well ask to have'their leading roads --the channels of their wealth and pro-perity--kept in good order, and tne taxes of the village is much more profitably invested in this than even But so soon as the village becomes incor- {in internal improvements. porated the township will have no |interest in keeping the leading roads in superior condition, it will then be the duty and interest of the town- iship to foster and encourage the growth and prosperity of the unin- corporated villages, for in doing so | they are contributing to the wealth | amd prosperity of the township and lessening the taxes of the ratepayers, =o that, as a matter of course, the influence of the township will be directed towards improving the vil- lages outside ot the corporation, as by doing so thoy iucrease the value of the township and diminish the taxes in a corresponding degree.
