Mr. Wixon opposes all grants to township societies, thinks it is only a drivelling away of public money. Mr. Holden feels a little surprised to find the County Council drifted into an Agricul- tural, meeting, what right he would ask had this Council to discuss the holding of Agri- cultural Shows, why cannot the mombers of the Societies settle their own aftfaiss, he would much prefer seeing the Council go on with its legitim to business. Mr. Fairbanks thinks that in justice to Brock she should either get her [ur propor- tion of the fairs or her share of the grant, Mr. Dryden said ho did not ses how Brock could lay claim to any of the shows being held in that township, suppose he said that there are 300 members in the whole, with instruction to amend the same by striking out $100 and mserting $150, on condition that the schools bo free. Mr. Fairbanks oljected to the motion ag being out of order, and the Warden rulled tout of order. Mr. Wright appealed from the decision of the Warden and the ques- tion being put, the Council sustained the Warden ; so the motion rulled out. We cannot for the life of us see upon Mr. Wheler enquired why it was that the Jonmals of the June session wore not dis- tiibuted til January, a day or 80 bLeloie the election, The Warden repli d that he had been conversing with the Clerk concerning that matter, and found that they had been dis- tributed 60 soon ax they had come from the printer, On mation the Warden left the chair till two o'clock.

Mr. Fairbanks would like to ask the mover of the resolntion whether he had seen the Bill or knew anything of its provising, il so he ought to bring them before the Council as he (Mr. Fairbanks) when voting on this or any other measure would l:ke to understand what he was voting for.
