RT PERRY, MAY 13, 1880. Close of the Session. 0 Tile On Friday last the second session sof the nt inion Parliament brought 1d Ram 8 close in a very CH ory ar, Few if any will dispute the fact that the past has been a session of much more than ordinary interest and impor- tance. the debates havo beoun con- ducted in an able manner by both sides of the Houso and some excel- lent speaking has been done by both pasties. The Government comes out of 'the second campaign with "much s.eredit, more: powerful in numbers and occupying a higher lace in the confidence and respect of the piiblic than g¥en at the close of the first campaign. The Opposi- tion had laid their plans well but ot wisely, thoy left no means untried to trip up the Government, were not ot all sgrupulous in the means em- yéd to accomplish; their ends and Pressed the gitack with much energy bat lest ground in every charge, and in every instance eame out {of the struggle with weakened and shatter- ed forces. Mr. Mackenzie coming out of every encounter with discom- fitted and disorganized ranks it was thought best to appoini a new leader wo Mr. Mackenzie lost his stipes and Mr. Blake was appointed to the command... Feeling elated over bis elevation the new leader soon must- ered his forces and with a' mighty florish of trumpets attempted to turn the flank of the ministerial hosts _ who were defending the British ~ Columbian portion of the Pacific Railway, the charge was a brilliant one but it proved even more disast- rous to the Opposition forces than vould besaved. But yould not even rest sss Apecious farce of "Counties Councils th en aad first, second and vd Deputy Reeves would at once be stopped and in future, if County Couneils were to be retained, some seven or nine men would do all the legislution Tequired ot that body.-- The legislation too of that body would be imp#eved: and about $700 a year saved to tho County. We have no desire neither would we for a moment sanction the impairing the efficiency of any department of our legislation butihe. reductions we have pointed out would greatly im- prove the legislation and vastly re: duce the expenditure. But will a broad: backed, easily-ridden, happy- go-easy electorate, do anything to sochre these ondd; will they call public meetings and have the matter discussed, will they on every occas- sion when opportunity presents itself bring the matter up, will they keep agitating and stirring at it, will they unite together and imperatively de- mand the required change ? This is no party matter it is above and al- together out of the region of party, it concerns every atépAyer the one party quite as 'muchras' the other without any possibility of distinction But very likely the ono party and the other will be afraid to move lest by some possibility the result might prove helpful to one party or injuri- ous to the other while: the fact is that the result could have no more effect on party than it would have on the Patagonians. Such a change is only a matter of time, and would be secured on short notice if the great body of electors will unite in de- manding it. EE Reach Council. The proceedings of the Reach coupeil which appear in this issue are short and very sweet, Itap- any previous charge during the not a few of Bluke's forces passed over to the ranks of the enemy and he came out with a much smalior following than even Macken- zie had done in hi most disastrous The chances are that Mr. Blake's signal failure in his first manceuvre will cost him his position; some other leader will have to be selected if the party wants to make even a respectable fight. several departments of legislation oaght to concern all who have the weal of the country' al heart, financial department is the chief in- terest of ninety-nine out of every bundred of the people, and the success or failure of any Government is predicated on their annual balance sheet. Doubtless the criterian is not a had one buf it js not always the most important; for a judicious out- lay, an outlay that will yield the 'best retarn is of more importance than a large surplus which has been accumulated by the neglect of im- portant improvements which ulti- mately increase the wealth and influ Certainly the 'best test of the ability and success of any government lies in the wisdom which directs the expenditure and the return received for the outlay. -- With Governments as with individ- uals a generous expenditure which will secure satisfactory returns is the campaign, attacks, ence of the country. best policy. The expenditure of the Dominion during the past year as for many yoars previous, has been greater than the income, s0 that we havo to fuco our usual annual deficit, time, however, the amount is not so large as usual neither can the items of expenditure bo demurred at for the utmost care has been manifosted There is one matter, however, which never can prove satisfactory to the country, viz : the unwicldy number of repre- sentatives on the pay of the country for no earthly benefit, Of course the present nor any other Government is to blame for that, the constitution makes provisions for this large number; but that government who will move in the direction of amend- ing the constitution 80as'to limit tl'e mumber of representatives in the foderal parliament to, say 55, will de- in that direction, While the the This pearcd to be a sort of quarter day and the bunds of hon. members were never out of the pockets of the rate- payers from the reading of the minutes till the motion for adjourn- ment. Of the thirteen motions pass- ed ton were of a financial order.-- Mogt of the payments were small, of course but they were sufficient to show how the wind blows, that the indigent element is being "rapidly extended. It is becoming qnite fashionable for yonng men aye, and women toe when they find the main- tenance of Pa or Ma a little irksonie to abandon them altogether and al- low the municipality to place the neglected ones on the indigent list. We in this township have not many such but it is becoming common in some other municipalities and we shall have to guard against it. Our dear dogs' mutton chop bill for that day was 8110, of course, the munici- pality was only ligble for two-thirds of the amount or $73.33 but even that was no trifle. Bat it remained for Mr. Burnett, the apostle of the gouncii, to give a most eonvincing proof of his desire to fulfil Scripture, Mr. Holman, in the exuberance of his generosity had rendered himself famous for his unstinted munificence in giving alms to the poor, not his owh of course but the township's alms ; tho consequence was that ap- plicants flocked in from all direc~ tions to this modern Zacheus and in order to be as close as possible to the source of their benefactions they took up their residence in crowds in Prince Albert. And just when everything was going bravely on, the worthy and unworthy poor, the halt, the lame, and the blind bad been collected from the ends of the earth around the almsgiver Mr. Burnett must come down with a motion ordering Mr. Holman that in future when his interesting proteges ask bread he must give them a stone and in order that the supply may hold out Mr. Holman is instructed to procure four cords (see tha motion) to be delivered at Prince Albert. They are to be delivered in bulk, not broken, and the motion di- rects that Mr. Holman's army must break them. They will bave a good time doing it. It will be no way surprising if this breaking business break up the army, - Buropesn Hows « European natips are 8s feverish than they have been for & long time, their toisterous EE, in | favor of peace are if possitle more extravagant but their still extending and increasing armaments proves that not one of them believes a word that the other says on that head, and wot | all of them act as if the entire con- strength in the proper sense of that term, thousands and tens of thous- ands are floeing from these lands every month, The mew English Governmetf soem to be getting into position and in a comparatively short time will fairly indicate their line of 'action: It is to be fondly hoped, however, that the new Premier's leek eating is nov'to be taken as an indication of the policy ot the new Govern- ment, if it were a fair indication then we would say shame on them ! During the election campaiga when the minions of the baughty and tyrannical Hapsburgs tried to meddle, Mr. Gladstone mantully' told the vain Hapsburg that there is not a spoton tho face of God's earth where one can place his finger and and say here Austria bas done some good. The absolute truth of this statemont was admitted by all, had the sympthy of the great bedy of people and did something towards securing his own return and that of his friends. © But now tbat the elections are over Mr, Gladstone is making a muff of himself by going to his marrow bones before the haughty Hapsburg and begging a thousand pardons foPhavinig spoken 80 of him, Ifthe Gladstone Govern- ment is to be as supple in the back as this would seem to indicate they will only be hooted. TR CET Cy He Rests From His Labors. The Hon. George Brown breathed his last on Sunday, 9th inst., at two o'clock a. m. and of him it may be emphatically said, "he rests from his labor" for his has been a life of labor. As a public journalist he was well and favorably known throughout the entire Dominion, munch of the United States and a large portion of Europe. Ho served his adopted country faithfully and efficiently for an ordinary life time and his countrymen have on many occasions given unmistakable proef of their appreciation of the value of these services. With regard to his poli- tics and his manoner of promulgat- ing the same we say hush! he has gone to that land where politics is unknown. All will regret at his yet too early removal from the stage of useful activity. The afflicted family bave the sympathy ot all in their great loss. RE CREIRT That Dam. Tt is said that several farmers owning lands on the banks of the Scugog below Lindsay, are greatly annoyed by having much of their lands drowned by the waters of that lake and steps are about to be taken to remedy the evil by lowering the dam. Lower it! _by all means lower it, demolish the dam entirely and thus redeem thousands of acres of valuable lands which are now submerged under water, wasting land, creating disease and serv- ing no good purpose, Can it be possible that this costly burlesque is to be tolerated much longer, that thousands of acres of valuable land aro to be lost to the municipalities so that a mill-wheel in Lindsay may be kept running.

There was quite a huniber of active, liberal buyers present ready to pick up at high figures every marketable head that' came on the grounds. Amongst other buyers we noticed Messrs. Knox, Bongard, Gould, Wheeler, of Mr. Stone from Whitby, Mr. Stone from Brock, and Mr. Stone from Reach, all anxious to get cattle and prepared to pay the highest price the market would warrant, The general business of the village was very fair; we saw Mr, Christian get several loads of grain, farmers generally know that the Manchester market is decidedly one of the very best markets in the Province for all sorts of farm produce, it hasa well established, enviable reputation andfarmers who are acquainted with it will sell no- where else, which is the best of all proofs of the superiority of this market for the sale of all kinds of farm produce. PE More Shipping. On the latter part of last week our enter-| prising cattle buyer, Mr. E. J. Wheeler, shipped from this port three loads of as fine cattle as the province can produce, and the first of the three carloads was certainly one of the finest we eyer saw, seven h of them came from the, farm of Mr. Andrew Ross, 11 con. of Reach, the seven head cost $700 and they were good value for thel. money for they were beautics. One of them a young heifer was bought from young Mr, Mowbray she was a fine animal and weighed 1'700 Ibs. The average weight of five of them was 1,900 bs each. Mr. Geo, Jackson had some fine cattle in this lot. 3 Nothing could be more encouraging than the present condition of our stock market every possible encouragement is given to the raising of superior cattle and certainly we have in this locality some of the most liberal buyers any where to be found so that Mr, Thomas McGonhell, a . wally and well-to-do yeoman of the township of Reach, has for many years been afflicted with, a cancer on the right side of his mouth and agninst the encroachinent of which he had | for years got everything done that could be suggested, sparing feithor 'Trouble 'nor ext pense to secure the desired object ; applying to the best hone and foreign skill he could find, he had been cperated on two of three times by parties who considered themselves skillfal surgeons, and everything which ' medical skill could suggest was done.

In Orangeville a trader has been sold out by the sheriff at the instance of' a brother-in-law, while the other creditors look on without any redress. As now we hear of another firm in diffculties, who when asked to assign their effects to a trustee for the benefit of the creditors, insists first on paying their neighbors in full. Some of their cases would have been reme- died to a certain extent by the Creditors' Relief Act, if in force ; other cases it will entirely fail to reach. IL is evident thig is only the beginning of sorrows; and it will be strange if by the end of a twelve month this county does not waken up to a realiza- tion of the mistake that has been made by the total repeal of the Bankrupt law. --------------e Mean. our farmers have every eticouragement to gO on with the raising of choice stock for our buyers never hesitate in giving even fancy prices for superior cattle the very top figare the market will allow, and farmers will consult their ewn interests by going into the ising of superior stock, there will be no trouble in parting with it at high figures. The Messrs. Bongard, and Elliot shipped six car loads of splefidid cattle from this port on Wednesday. they were exceedingly fine cattle and were bought at high figures, 3 + [these liberalr buye never hesitate at giving top prices for choice qualities of cattle, they give the highest the market will allow. Amongst s0 many choice animals it is al- most invidious to give either names of feeders, weights or prices but we happen to know of the follgying and give them as a sample of the others which were of this fine lot. Thére was a fine tour year old bull There were two 3 year ol sold by Mr. Robert Brown, East Settlement, Reach, he weighed 2380 pounds and brought $131. sold by Mr. Joseph Kilpatrick, the two steers weighed 2600 pounds and brought $130.-- Mr. F. Rain sold two beauties one of which weighed 1,600 pounds. too had some fine cattle in the lot, Mr. Jas. McMillan Thess dashing buyers shipped 15 car loads on Wednesday, of about as fine cattle as one could wish to see and they paid well for them, they paid $22,000 for the lot.-- They shipped 5 car loads from Port Perry. 4 from Brooklin and 6 from Whitby, Of those shipped from Port Perry, 42 heal came from Uxbridge, fed by Joseph Gould, Esq., they were charming animals and proye Mr, Gould to be a most successful feeder. The commodious aud comfortable stable room provided for cattle in the yards of the Port Perry Housé and the obliging manner of the proprietor, Mr. Ruddy, prove of much benefit to both buyers and sellers of stock. Sixty head of cattle can be comfortably lodg- ing that the responsibility placed on them has not been mis placed in furnishing a most satisfactory time and sparing neither money nor laber in securing it. But the coming celebration is meant tobe the most attractive yet held. Everything will be done to make the day one of real enjoyment toall present and in order to secure full success the several sports and entertainments will be so diversified as to interest all who come and doubtless a very large crowed will turn out and manifest their loyalty by having such a celebration in Prince Albert as was never seen there before, The sports during the day will be interesting and enjoyable and the fire works in the evening will be magnif- icent, decidedly the best ever seen. in this section of country: (See posters). -- District Meeting.
