The Dominion Cabinet is under- going a thorough repair, in fact it is about to get new legs, a new rib or wo, and a new head. Cartwright's late financial feat in England by which he suceeeded in performing the herculean feat of creating a defi- cit where a surplus previously exist- ed, has prepared the way for his re- master of ceremonies, is to succeed Cartwright. Mr. Ross, Minister of Militia, w to be shelved and the dear, sumptuous R. W. Scott is to succeed him. Lucius' $100,000 libel suit is ex- pected to engross all his time and be will have to leave the Cabinet. It is expected that Mr. Brown will confine Mr. McKenzie to the Public 'Works Department or turn him ont} and take the premiership to himself, knowing, as he well may, that this is the last chance he will ever have s Almost a Libel. Some couple ot months ago, a no- torious firm in Montreal, living on their wit, sent advertisements to all the papers, at least we and every publisher we know of got the ad- vertisoment with Instructions to in- sert it and send in the bill. The advertisement stated that the Firm of Cleremont Daniels & Co, Dealers in Dry Goods, Notions, Fancy Goods and Groceries, were sclling their Goods fifty por cent. cheaper than any retail House in the Dominion. Woe knew that the whole thing was a miserable falsehood a silly hum- bug. We knew that the retail merchants whose advertisements we already had in our paper sold as cheap as the same quality of goods could be sold by any merchant who expected to pay for his goods, We knew that our advertising columns were full of the advertisements of as honorable and reliable a set of mer- chants as are to be found on the con- tinent of America--men who know infinitely better how to buy,aye and sell too, than any woulibe cheap-jack from Moutreul or any where else.-- We knew all thisand politely declin- od Messrs Cleremont Daniels & Co's deceptive advertisement. We told them we had no space for their in- famous ties and that even had they stolen the goods or got them given to them they could not sell fifty percent below our retail merchants, and that the same quality of goods could not be bought cheaper any where from Gaspe to Windsor than from the merchants whe now adver tise,in our columns. We did not ex-- pect that any newspaper in the province would deliberately lend its aid in promulgating what no one eould help knowing to be an infernal lie. "Fifty percent cheaper than any retail merchant in the Domin- ion could sell such goods." Judge of our astonishment, however when someone showed us that worthless rag, the Port Peery Standard with this notorious advertisement florish- ing in its columns,redolent with dis- play type and placed alongside of the advertisements of honest. hon-- erable merchants. We took the granny to task for his miserable greed in seeking to promulgate in- famous deception with the idea of reaping a small portion of the wages of sin, Judas" reward.-- We told the granny that the whole thing was a base deception and that it'was » shame for the Standard rag to do.its little bost to defraud the ya pubic.

'Matrimonial Bliss. The village of Port Perry is acknowledged with truth to be one of the most stirring, active, go-aheadative commercial centres and active business marts in the province, advancing with.a rapidity asd stability but rarely equalled even in the history .of this We have our factories and workehops springing up in all vigerous, young continent. directions. The princely residences and humbler dwellings display their rising pro- portions in every street and square. The number of our stately business blocks are being increased with a cheering rapidity and business is being extended with gigantic Our facilit'es and accommodations for receiving, handling and forwarding grain are even outstripping our progress in other departments. For school accommodation we have built a palace, and our churches and halls arc in keepiug with our schools, school houses if uot the fruits are the fruit baskets of matrimony, and if we had to de~ pend upon pure immigration for the contin- vance of our supply for these the supply would both be slim and precarious ; but such is by no means the fact ; for amid al our business bustle and hurry the matrimonial altar is kept in a continued glow - with the rapid and perpetual rush of votaries who go thither in scarch of matrimonial bliss, With- ina few days, no fewer than three {of onr most active intelligent young men led to the altar three of our fairest, and most worthy young ladies, and we wish them all the pleasure and lonfeontinucd happiness and prosperity which their young and ardent strides. imaginations have pictured to themselves, C---- A Rare Ch for Purchasi Valuable Property.

We hope to see all Livenroot, Sept 16.--The steamship Poly-| Haddén, , who go to The hall was found exceedingly handy dur- ing the rain,and that great hall was kept all the time packed with visitors froma noon till the removal of the things. Besides inspect- ing the numberless specimens of activity and skill of which there were a grand display, the company was entertained with as fine t | singing as one could wish to hear; in fact, during a large portion of the day we had one | of the finest Promenade Concerts one could wish to take part in. One don't often hear as good singing even at a stated Concerti The Society and the public too are much in- debted to the young ladies who added so much to the pleasures of the hall by their sweet singing. We knew the names of only t | two of the ladies, Miss H. M. Barker and Miss Chambers. On entering the hall to the right were panel doors, and window sash which were much and deservedly praised. -- They were got up by Mr. Thompson, of Val. t lentyne. Along the east wall were hung about as fine a lot of quilts as will be found at any show anywhere in the province, whether for taste in get-up or quality of material. The show of coverlets was equally creditable to the activity and ingenuity of Brocls's fair daughters. The display of Rngs was both extensive and excellent. The judges must have had a difficult task to place the prizes. If we are to judge from | the show of blankets the coming winter is not likely to be severe ; tie quality was good but the quantity was slim. But it is almost invidious to single out any department where all was so fine. Most of the ladies' work could be shown with credit at the best shows in the Province, Ladies' garments, children's dresses, gent's shirts, and fancy work were all skillfully represented and did credit to the fair competitors. The display of fruit was nothing to boast of, in fact the horticultural department was below par. The display of jellics, preserves, pickles: , | &c., &c., was unusually large and of superior quality. In the matter of roots the effects of tedry season were very marked, the roots were no up, except potatoes, and of these there never was a better display in North Ontario. The show of grain especially as to quality d |" was in keeping with the reputation of this fair township. We don't remember seeing a better sample of Spring wheat. The produce of the dairy, especially in the article of butter, held its own, and we should judge that there are no other prizes taken in our shows of which the fair successful com- petiors have more reason to feel proud than prizes taken for excellence in butter making. There was one case of very handsome look- ing Boots and Shoes in all varieties for ladies and gents. But the tailor was conspicuous by his absence, if there is any in town they did not put in an appearance--not a gent's garment was to be seen. There was a fine display of superior Harness both light and heavy sets. There was same good cabinet ware shown and several capital organs, 'The omnipresent sewing machines were here to some extent. The ladies watched the prog- ress of these with much interest. The yoachine shown by Mr. Smith of Sunderland ws deservedly admired by all who saw it work. Tt works likea charm, The day doubtless militated against the show of stock, there were not so many there as otherwise would have been ;it injured the appearance of those shown and rendered it uncomfortable both for exhibitors $ad Judges. However there was a large number f first-cl i g | of als shown, In the long wooled Sheep there wasa cap- ital display, but Mr. C, Pascoe carried all before him, Tn the medium wools the con- test was keen, Jas Stonchouse and Jas St. John, Sr, took a large share of the Prizes in this class: Perhaps there is nothing in which Brock is advancing more satisfactorily than in her stock. The show of cattle wasgrand. The number of thorough-breds was highly encour - aging. Messrs E & R Brabazap, F Hadden, James Ruddy, and J Stonchonse were the principal exhibitors in this class. Mr Ruddy's aged Bull was universally ad- niired, Mr Hadden's isalso a splendid ani- mal and was a great favorite) Brabason's 1 year old Bull is a beauty. In Milch Cows E & R Brabazon could not be touched, In Grade Cattle the show was good. Mr J Howsam's 2 year old Bull is a capital specimen of a first class.Grade Bull.

In every well "regulated community' whether in ancient or modern times, the worthy aged inhabitants are regarded: with a love and reverence proportioned to the in- télligence of the community and genuine worth of the objectsof their esteem. We have in our midst in the township of Brock one whom we afl like to honorand who from the high esteem in which he is held, from Lis own amiable disposition, his early settle- ment in the township, his long, prosperous and honorable carcer amongst us, the num- erous and highly respected family of which KING OF BROCK, this is Philip 8t. John, Esq. Mr. Bt. John is an Irishman by birth, he was born within two miles of the ative market town ot Rathkale, County Limerick bellion. He was married at the age of 19 and in 1816'left his native land, taking with He arrived at New York but did not sojourn there long, for on the 17th of October the following year he settled on lot No. 3, in the 5th con. of Brock, where he has continued to reside uninterruptedly up till the present time, and which he very naturally styles the old homestead. The worthy king has had eleven children born to him and all have exceedingly well.
