Eldon Voters’ List fox the year 1879 has not yet been published and to all appearances it will be some time before it is. It would be a gratification to the ratepayers to know under what system or in what manner the Eldon Voters’ List is prepared The precise way in which it shall be prepared is epecilied in the Revised Statutes of Ontario, but our Clerk and Council, it seems, have a method of their own which comes before that appointed by law. In the that place it is appointed that the Assessor shall return his roll not later than the 30th day of Aprilâ€"the assessment roll for the township of Eldon was not returned until the latter end of May, and the Court of Revision, which should have been held within fourteen days thereafter was not hell until the 29th of July, nearly eight weeks later than the time appointed by statute. \Ve quote from the Revised Statutes of Ontario, Chap. 180, Sec. 42, 43 'â€" ELDON VOTERS’ LIST “ Every Assessor shall begin to make his roll in each year not later than the fifteenth day of February, and shall complete the same on or before the thirtieth day of April.” “Every Assessor shall. on or before the fimt (lay of May, deliver to the Clerk 0! the Municipality such asaeasment roll, coup pleted and added up, with the certifi- cates and affidavits attached.” No notice Was given as to the time of meeting of the above Court in this township, and yet the statute distinctly says it shall be advertised at least ten days before the sitting of the Court. in the township newspaper :â€" “The Clerk shall also advertise in some newspaper pnhliuhed in the Mun- icipality, or, if there he no such paper, lheu in some newspaper published in the newest Municipality in which one is published, the time at. which the Court will hold its first sittings for the year, and the advertisement. shall he published at least ten «lays hefure the tim‘e of such tiwt sittings."â€"-Sec. 56, Sub sec 7. As we stated before the Court of Revision did not sit until the 29th day of July. when we believe it. (lid meet somewhere in the township, but what transpired at tlmt meeting is known only to those gentlemen who formed the Court and those who mmle appeals. Nothing more lnis been heard of the Voters? List up to the time of Wiiting although the “Voters' List Act," (Chap. 9, Rev. Stat.) is very precise in its deal» ingi with this matter. Section 2, of this Act says: ” The Clet‘k ufcach Municnality shall immediately after the final revision and correction of the assessment roll in every ymr, make a correct alphabetical list in three parts, of all male persons being of the full age of twenty-one years and subjects of Her Majesty by birth or naturalization, and appearing by the assessment roll to be entitled to vote in the Municipality.” " Immediately after the Clark has made the said alphabetical list, and within thirty days after the final re. vision and correction of the assessment roll the Clerk shall CMISO at least two hundred copies of the said list to be printed.”â€"Sec. 3, Voteis' List Act. \Ve are asked repentedl y “ How is it that the l‘llclon Votem' List -is not yet published '3" It is now over three months since the CnuI-t of Revision sat, and the Voters' List has not yet ap- peared. “’0 have enquired of the Clerk several times when it is to be is“ suml hut have always received an emu six-o answer. The ratepayers have a right to know how things are being CUIHIUCh‘ll in the township and why these things are being SlllOlllletl in mystery. That all is not. us it should he is apparent, or why should an honest question he met with an evasive vepln. \V e slml! nnxiunslv await an explana- tion why tlII-se things me thus. Crowded ouf.-A lot. of interesting local correspondence has bmmimmvoid. ably crowded \out. this {week but will qumrnext. . a THE CLOUD IN THE EAST. at the present moment is anything but ' The complexion of affairs in Europe reassuring. France is building strong fortresses on the Belgian frontier; Ser- ’ via, Bulgaria and Montenegro hare formed an alliance, ostensibiy against. foreign intervention, but really against Austria; Germany is adding tittyâ€"four 1 batteries to her artillery forceâ€"um doubtedlr the strongest tield force in , Europeâ€"and it is stated that the next l Imperial budget- will Contain estimates l for an even more considerable increase to her army ; Turkey, as we predicted l Some time ago, is, under tno stress of l England's demand for reform in Asia Minor, disposed to emrt the Russian rather than the English alliance, and in order to prevent the capture of Conâ€" de pnmia. Admiral Hol'tlby's fleet is under orders to leave Malta and may ‘loave at any moment withastrong probability of its entering the Euxine and taking possession of Sinope or some other Turkish port as a material guaru antee for the execution, both by Russia and Turkey, of their treaty engagements In the meantime Count Schouvalofi' has left London ; a successor has not been and probably will not be appoint~ edâ€"â€"at any rate until the issue of the . ConstantinOple cmbroglio has been reached. It will thus be seen that there are snflicient elements of combustion in Europe to make it probable that the slightest breeze in the neighbourhood of the Bosphorus will fan the whole into a flame. Once started it is inr- possible to avoid the conclusion that others Powers besides Russia, England and Austria will eventually beinvolved in conflict. France may be tempted to make use of the opportunity, furnished by the [ire-occupation of the other Great Powers, to attempt the recovery of her Rhine Provinces and to rectify the Belgian frontierâ€"a course which would bring down upon her the whole force of the German Empire. and the moral, ‘ if not the physical, hostility of England. 1 Much will depend, of Course, on the progress of events at Stamboul, where, it is to be feared, England has not now a great Eltchi to represent her, as in the days which preceded the Crimean \Var. \Vere Lord Stratford now at Therapia, it is safe to say there would be no talk of'l'urkey’s entering into an alliance with her traditional enemy. \V'ith Sultan and Pashas, his word was law, and no man ever so thoroughly circumvented Russia as he did when: the Holy Plumes were made the pre- text for her seizing the Ronmauian PrOVinccs, which she after-Wards had to evacuate; in order that Austria might occupy them in the inter est of Europe. It is to be feared that Sir Austin Laynrd is cast in a different mould, and that RuSsia has now acquired an influence in the councils of the Potte, which would have been impossible had Lord fitratford remained in Constantinople as England's representativn. â€"â€" Free Press. stautinople by a Russian politiCal cmtp ‘ It is really too had that name pcoph- should not he :dlumul to take their teams into the scores with them.

Jackson presided as Chairman. Mr. Mlu‘dhch gave a splendid lecture and was attentively listened to, especially his exposition of the feudal system and its interesting laws of primogeniture and entail. The game laws of the old country \vele also dwelt on at some length. The audience was small. . After the lecture u vote of thanks was ten- dered to the Lecturer and also to the Chairman and were enthusiastically curried.
