JAMES BAIRD, RINCE ALBERT, AUG. THE RAILWAY DEBENTUL - The By-law passed by (he municipal Council of Reach and confirmed by the ratepayers on the 19th day of August. 'Company "sets forth the times, amounts, bnd conditions vader which said amount shall be paid to said Company. For the »- payment of thid $40,000 and iiiterest the poration bas drawn out, signed and sealed 80 notes (or debentures as they are called) of 8500 each, four of said notes becoming due and payable every year on &nd after the Ist day of January, 1869, with interest on the whole of the notes re. maining unpaid on the 1st of January and the 1st of July in each and every year un. til the whole is paid ; interest commencing from the 1st day of September, 1868, payable half-yearly at the rate of 6 per cent per anoum. Forty of these notes or debentures have already been handed over to the company ; of course only 8 of them have yet become due; but it makes not the slightest difference as far as the amount of payment is-concerned whether they are in the bands of the company or the town. ship as the interest goes on all tke same. There were according 10 the conditions of the by-law 40 nterest coupons drawn, because the interest was made payable balf yearly and tweiily years is the time specified in which all must be paid; and whenever the company is in a position to demand the debentures,the accrued interest must be handed over with them so that as far as the wmounts to be paid by the town- ship are concerned it does not matter a straw whether the company or municipality bold the notes or debentures as they are on interest from the time of the ratifica- tion of the by-law and will so con- tinue until they are paid or forfeited.-- 'I'he whole amount of $40.000 began to draw interest on thie 1st day of Septem- ber, 1868, and all remaining unpaid at the end of each and every half year will draw interest until all is paid or forfeited, -- Notes, or Debentures, bave already been banded over to the Company for one half the smount-- $20,000--but of course only a portion of this bas yet become due and been paid ; pa:t of it has been paid and the Company holds our notes for the bal. ance, payable according to the conditions set forth in the by-law. As we bave already stated it dces not matter to the ratepayere is far os the amount to be pail is concerned whether opr nates, or debentures, are in our own | ion or in the possession of the com- | pany for they are all on interest since the "date of their signature--29th Augt. 1868 | -- While the interest on the whole unpaid is due and payable balf yearly the prinzipal is payable in twenty equal annual instal ments of $2,000 each. So that cn the 1st January 1870 there were $2,000 of of principal and $3,200 interest, being 16 montl's interest on $40,000, making in all 85290 due on tke bonus.-- On 1st January, 187) another $2,000 of the principal became dye, and $2,280 in. terest, being one year's interest on tho $38,000 then remaining unpaid. On 1st January, 1872, there will be another in- _sialment of $2.000 principal and $2,160 "interest on the $36,000 remaining unpaid. Hence by the 1st day of January next there will be due or paid, for the Port Perry ond Port Whitby Railway, by the 'ratepayers of Reach the handsome sum of $13,640 or adding 820 for the difference * on interest being, paid ballyearly mak ng $43,660 already extracted from the sweat and toil of the ratepayers of Reach and for what ? a shadow, a burlesque ! which has se the whole county a derision and by- word over the entire province so far as our railway m.nagement is concerned ; and the misery is matlers are 'still getting from bad to worse.-- The man pow placed ni the head of = | pany is only now drawing interest on the $20,000 which they have already claimed, but the interest on the other $20,000 is accumulating and they will draw it all if they ever happen to be in a position to claim it, 1868 granting a bonus of $40,000 to they, _ Port Whitby & er Railway | A § - » sisi sss s0 to fugle matters as to get this road into their own bands on purpose to make it a feeder for the harbor, acd have it cooked as the gravel road bas been, cutting off all communication with the county town ex. cept over Chester & Co's domains, the Sooner a system of baloons is introduced the better, for neither road will be fit for traffic one balf the year. ; We have inadvertently been drawn from our subject however. Ve bave stated above that by the first of Jauwuary next there will have been paid or due 10 the Railway Company the sum of $13,060. To meet this there will have been col- lected in 1869, $5,200--in 1870, $4,572 ~-in 1871, $4,900, making in all $14,672, collected to meet the above. This is 81,012.more than will then be required for the purposes of the railway ; hut in Jul 1872 this sum and $8 more, $1,020 will be required to meet the interest coupons for the previous six months so that we will then be about square. Should the com- pany ever be ina position to claim the full amount of the debentures we will have paid them $65,200, the amount of principal and in'erest. At the present rate of advancement the Company will never be in a position to claim any more than the $20,000 already btained ; for railways may have gone out of fashion ere they monage to complete the grading ; and they can't get the next $10,000 till it is completed, The Com- The Fall Show of the Reach and Scvgog Agricultural Society will be held the Prince Albert Show Grounds on Tuesday Sept. 19ih, and no eftort will be spared: to make this the best township show ever held in the county ; but in order to accom- plish this it will require the combined effort of all concerned. Much depends upon the effort put forth by our farmers and stock breeders in the number and quality of the various animals shown. This will doubt- less be the most interesting Fall Show- we have ever had both in horses, canle and sheep ; in fact we never before had as good material to bring out ; and wefjare not risk- ing muoh in predicting that the sample of Grain and Roots has seldom or ever been excelled. We expect that our gardeners both professional and amateur will put forth their accustomed eflort sud sustain that credit which they have so well earned at previous shows. Very much depends on the efforts put rth by our mectfanics, a good display in their line is indispensable to a good how as well as being indicative of the growing prosperity of the locality. To eay that the succers of all such shows hangs most materially on the amount of effort put forth by the ladies is only asserting a truism which no one disputes, but if the show is to be better than usual even ttey will re- quire to put forth an extra effort in bringing out the produce of their Dairies, the thrift of their hands in Domestic Manulactures, and the products of the needle in Dieeses, Shirts &e. &c. The excellent Show Grounds and com- fortable and commodious Floral Hall offer excellent facilities for showing in all the different olasses and insure the comfort ol the spectators. The premiums offered amount lo somewhere in the neighborhood ol $220. Let us have a big show, one worthy of the prosperity of the townships concerned. et eee THE LEGISLATURE OF ONTARIO. The members of the Legislative Assem- ly of Outario are beginning to trim up with a view to their approaching muster, for the despatch of business, which is ex- pected to ako place about the middle of next month. . This meeting is regarded with more than ordinary interest, as the se- lection of a speaker will go far towards proving the relative strength bof parties in the House: Should the ministerial party succeed in securing their selection their chances of tiding over. the session, if not, the parliament will be at a premium ; bat should they fail in this they may we!l look out for a soft place to fall, for nothing can save them. It is a pity of the poor enuls who are now trembling between hope and despair, heing driven to their wit's end which side to soppor!, whose only anxiety is to be on the winning side, follow - the loaves and fishes, and sell themselves to the highest bidders. OUR MARKETS. Now that our crops are well along in the process of harvesting, that a fair yield and a choice sample of our staple grains are in a fair way of being secured, so much so that all further auxiety regarding their safety may well be . laid "aside ; but this is not all, for another question of little less importance forces itself, to a greater or less extent, on the atten:ion of all, viz: how will the markets run, will the prices be high or low ? Such questions are much more easily asked than answered, and where so many contingencies are to be taken into account, it would be hazardous for the most experienced in these matters 10 venture a prediction at this,stage 'of proceedings. tl From our exchanges we learn that in the Chicago Market on the 19th inst. that Spring Wheat was , irregular from $1.09 to $1.04, and Barley was strong -at 61 cents, Os the same day Wheat was strong at $1.35 in New York tig Company is the Jeas' likely in the eguitry to give it a character and standing, if.a tenth part of what the Company them: selves. say of him be rue, Honest men "biive been booted from the Board and re- p o shadows, who only speak and for. the substance.

With praiseworthy generosity the mem- bers of the Port Perry Fire Brigade have announced an excursion from, Port Perry 0. Washburn's Island and return, on Sat. erday 26th inst.,on board the Anglo-Saxon, proceeds to go to the benefit of A. Bowers, an unfortunate member of the Brigade, who lost bis. right kand in Paxton's Saw Mill a 'short time sgo. Tl > Excursion by which parties are permitted to manifest their sympathy for the suffering youih ig a good one, is highly creditable to its promoters, and should meet witha hear- ty and liberal responsa from a generous public. The young man, irrespective of ang, pecuniary assistance he may receive, ought to feel flattered at the degree o respect shown him by bis associates, We sincerely hope that the effort may be abundaptly successful, and that the Fire-- men may have the satisfaction of placing in the hands of their disabled brother a somewhat respectable sum. If there be one physical afiliction more than another-- after loss of sight, it is for a youth, a young man just in the morning of bis days, to be deprivgfr bis right band ; and while public sympatby cannot do anything towards making up the youth's loss, yet the manifestation of a desire to do so on the part of the public will be a satisfaction to the sufferer, while the cash realized will not be an inappropriate token of re- speet and sympathy. Let a lively re- sponse be made to the call of the Com- mittee and thus enjoy the pleusure of the excursion, as well as the greater satisfac tion of contributing a willing mite to car ry the youth over the present difficulty at least. pd TT : Le A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, . We regret exceeding to have to record a serious accident which u éw days ago befel one of our most highly reepected townsthen -Mr. Joshtia 'Dobson. Ou the afternoon of the 16% instant Mr. Dobson while cutting a field of wheat with his reap- er, observed a piece of stump ahead of the reaper and stopping the horses siepped be- fore the machine to remove the obsiiuction, and taking itup thiew il away past the horses ; this caused them to start off, the knives caught Mr. Dobson by the back of the 1ight leg about six inches above the heel tearing the leg fearfully, severing tendons, and arteries, cutting through the smaller bones and damaging the large one. He fell back amongst the rakes and his body got so pressed between the rakes and the tablethat the gearing ceased to work and the machine so dragged that the horses soon stopped. The services of Dr. Martin were procured as speedily as possible ; but besides the foot being almost torn oft the patient had nearly bled to death ere medion) aid could arrive. The patient is certainly in a most precarious state, but if it is in the power of medical skill to save him he is sale in the hards of Dr. Martin. We learn in going to press that the in- jored past of the limb has been amputated. WELCOME HOME, We were much pleased yesterday to meet with J. R. Youmans, Esq.,Head Master of the Port Perry High School, on his return fiom a brief, but--weare happy to learn-- pleasant European tour. Me. Youmans looke much the, beer of mis tup. He «peaks of re opening school to-day, but by Mouday this excellent institution will again be in full blast. -------- FUNERAL OF THE LATE COLONEL FAIRBANKS, The remains of the deceased were inter- red at@shawa on Friday last, and whether we regard the appearance of the town-- places of business all closed, and principal buildings draped, or the almost universal turnout of the inhabitants to take part in the funeral ceremony one way or another, we have a convincingproof of the univer- sal regret of that people at the loss they have sustained. The funeral procession was an imposing sight. The Volunteers led, followed by a most respectable repre. sentation of the order of Odd" Fellows ; these were followed by the Masonic Brethern. Then came the hearse follow- ed by public officials of various grades, then came the villagers in large numbers while the streets were lined with spectators 'I'he Rev'ds W. Beltand J. D. Kaley conducted the Church service. There were 12 pall bearers: six military officers and six officers of the Masonic order. The Military having duly honored the remaine of their deceased brother-in-arms, 'retired when the beautiful and suggestive Masonic honors were given in a most. impressive manner by the brethern present, W. M. Bro. Brown conducling the ceremony. ------------ i --eeey A BAD FALL.

Crowds of people assemble around the Mairies aud discuss the prolongation of Thier's 'power, and the chandes for the re-establishment of the Empire. Yesterday was the fete of Napoieon, and many prominent [mperialists have as il by appointment, retorned to the city, and moved about in the public places. The air is full of rumors that the Bonapar- iste are inciting the military and the masses 10 a grand rising against the presem Gov ernment. The old army, consisting of re- tarned prisoners from Germany, show signe of disaffection. The officers and men are jealous of the new army, formed by Gam. betta, and they complain that their deserts have been overlooked and their advance- ment retarded by the new organizations lt is whispered that the army, at least the old Imperial woops, will revolt against the Verswiles Government, declare Marshal McMahon Regent, and demand the re-es- tablishioent of the Empire. Many people are leuving Paris in a general stampede, and the railway stations ure greatly over- crowded. Some also believe that there is on Otleanist scheme npe for a coup d' elat, caused by pushing the proposition 10 make Thiers' powerp rmanent as President ol the R:publie. The adherents of the Count de Puris, who form a large portion of ine right in the Nayional Assembly, fear and oppose he establishment of a monaichial government. Thiers stands entirely isolat- ed. He has no itiends. He is hooted by the Republicans for his conserva'ive policy and hesitation with regard 10 the Republic.

A Hessian paper, the Starkenburger Bote, writes as follows respecting the lem- paral power: The governments ol Europe must now come to a decision. Two ways are open to them, If they resolve to restore the tempural sovereignity of the, Pope, they will find the Catholics th: most obedient of in all purely political questions. If, on the other hand, they 'fecoguize tha robbery of the Church, let them expect a war to the knife against ihe newly established order of things, a fierce'and decisive war without treaty or i Let the gi know our'patience was great, but it has now come toan end. We Catholics bave a right to demand the liberty of our church and it is the duty of the govermnents to satisly our demands ; we have paid them the bi ood tax, but are tired of being cheated by vain pronises. The only assurance we dl is the withdrawal of Victor Em- anuel and he complete restoration of the Papal States.

A violation of the law under Dr. Ryerson would be no Jess fatal to the legal- ity of levying a rate for the teacher's salary than if the violation had been the act of any human being. ee -- =~ -- ee A JUST TRIBUTE TO THE NOBLE PRINCIPLES OF FREEJNASONRY, The Prince of Wales, when in Dublin last week, was elected Patron of the Order of Free and Accepted Masons in Ireland The Prince made the following reply to the address of the Grand Master : -- " Most Worshipful Sir and Brethern.-- [ thank _you very much lor your cordial and grateful address, and for the kind sen- 'tithents expressed in 0 towards myselfi: It was a source of considerable satisfaction to ma when I was elected a member of the craft, and | think I may wi'Lout presump- tion point to the different Masonic meet- ings whighesinee my initiation, I have fratefnally attended, as a= proof of the ifiterest I take in all that relates to Free= masonry. I can assure you that it has offer- ed me great gratification to become the patron of the Most Ancient and Hon orable Society of Free and Acceped Masons in Ireland, and that an opportuc.ity has been given to me by my visit to Ire land, of-being installed here to day." The Grand Master then clothed his Royal Highness with the collar, apronand jewel, us Patron. The Brethern then, according to the ancient custom, saluted the Prince as Patron of the order in Ire - land, the Grand Master himself giving the word. His Royal Highness said : " Most Worshipful Sir and Brethern,-- | have now to thank you heartily and cor. dially for your fraternal reception, and for the honor you have done me, and [ bg to assure you of the pleasure [ feel on having been invited tc become the Patron of the Order of Freemasons in Ireland. [It is a source of considerable satisfaction to me to kncw that my visit to this country has af forded this opportunity of meeting you Brethern; in Lodge, and so interchanging these frank and hearty greetings. ft is true, I have not been n mason very long. I was initiated, as you perhaps know, in London a few years ago, after which | visited the Grand Oriental Lodge of Den- mark, and a short time afterwards 1 had the signal satistaction of being elected a Past Grand Master of the Urited Grand Lodge of Iingland." Last year 1 had the honor of being elected Patron of the Order in Scotland ; and, Brethern, though. last. not least, comes the special honor ycu have conferred on me. | thank you fer it from the bottom of my heart. 1 may, 1 think, refer with some pride to the number of Masonic meetings | bave attended in Eng- land since my initiation, as a proof of my deep attachment to your Oider. I know, we all know, how good and holy a thing Freemasonery is, how excellent" are ils principles, and how perfeet the doctrines it sets forth ; but forgive me if'T r. mind you that some of our friends outside are not as well acquainted with its merits as we are ourselves, and that a most mistaken idea prevails in some minds that, because we are a secset society, we meet for po. litical purposes, or have a pclitical bias in what we do. I am delighted, Brethern, to have this oppcrtunity of proclaiming what I am satisfied you will agree with me in that we have as Masons no politics ; that the great object of aur Order is to strengthen the bonds of fraternal affection and to make us live in pure and Christian love with all men; that tlough a secret we are not a political body, and that our Masonic principles are essential parts of our attachment to the Constitution and loyaliy 10 the Crown." ------ BOATING.

The police force wus dou- bled and every precaution taken to protect the village against thieves. One of the humors of darkness was the sudden 1m- pressment of all the empty bottles in the village as makeshifis lor candlesticks. et -- PROSPECTS FORBUTTER HOLDERS.

French- men who have means of knowing are of opinion that it will be three years before they can export as much as they have done, and that, as order is restored in Paris, it may become apparent that they will have very little to export, and that, to dpncilliate the towns, it may be again prohibited, or subjected fo a heavy tux. Should this con. tingency arise, We may see the season a dear one.

The deputation was received by the municipal authorities headed by the mayor, amid a large coucourse of spectators. People are wild with excitement. The streets through which ithe deputation and is escort passed were lined with crowds of poople ; all traffic was obstructed. Cuy bands arrayed in green followsd the pro- cession, playing American, lish and French national airs, also some Fenian tunes. The police abstained from all inteiferance. 'The deputation proceeded to the Shelbourne Hotel and came out on the balcony amid the venement cheering of the spectators. -- Martin, a member of Parliament, addressed the crowd. He eloquently alluded to the many ties of sympathy existing between the people of France and Ireland, and pro- posed three cheers for the French Republic. The crowd responded with great enthusiasm. A son of Marshal MacMaton has also ar rived. He was loudly cheered by thousands of spectators. His reception by the authori. ties and the people of this city is worthy of a King. Houses were illuminated at night, and there is tremendous enthusiasm, tame FAMINE STRICKEN PERSIA, Nrw York, Aug. 19.-- A London cories- pondent telegraphs :--¢ 1 have just receiv- ed some luter telegrams fiom Pevia. The news now received conclusively contradicts Minis'er. The Persian Government has a clear 'interest in underrating the conse- quences of the famine, eince it has been va- doubtedly jhe result of its own maiadminis- tration. In lspahan a city with a population variously estimated at from two to five hondred thousand people there have been already twenty-seven thousand deaths, and the mortality has not yet diminished. This terrible record is, ~however, eclipsed by | dccourts from the provinces, where the famine'first acsumed its alarming propor- tions. In Mazanderan, a very noch larger percentage of deaths has taken place.-- Some accounts indeed say that hall of the population has perished. Throughout the rice-growing provinces there has been a complete failure of crop, owing to the drought. 'A hope for better reports froin these sections of country must therefore be indefinitely postponed. ~ The large and ulous districts are altogether deserted. © The disease as might huve naturally been expected, follows in the train of this horrible dearth and attacks man and beast. The former' rumor of Asiatic plague having broken out is uncou- firmed, but in its stead, choleia, typhus and famine fever, and small pox, the last unusval disease in Persia, are doing di ful work. 'The caule plague is raging ternibly in the districts wnere any cat le ages.' A : ; NEW LHR, "FORE Fran ROB. Dry. Goods, Ready-madeClothing, Choice 5 cheap. imement in this issue.)
