We would take it kind if parties indebted to this office for sub- | scription, job work or otherwise would remit the same without putting us to the trouble and expense of employing a collect- or. The several sums are so small that it would absorb a large portion of the amount to collect them; we would there- fore esteem it as a favor if parties would remit without being called upon. Certain con- templated changes in this office render it neccessary that our accounts should all be squared at this time. A -------- Meeting of Delegates. i. A highly important and niost en- couraging meeting of delegates from the several municipalities throughout the Province was held in the Temperance Hall, Toronto, on the 23rd and 24th ult, Some muni. cipalities sent two, others more, the result was that that large hall was crowded in every part, galleries and all, on the opening day. None but true Reformers--or Liberal Conser- vatives--if you will--were admitted during the first day, and the time was chiefly occupied in registering names, appointing committees and 4 little speech-making. The second day was taken up with the discussing of some dozen resolu- tions. Our Toronto friends are great or resolutions, and any resolution which has not a dozen "and where- as's" in it is regarded as a slim af- fair, but neither long winded speech- es nor interminable far towards thorough organization. resolutions go The reports from the several mu. nicipalities are of the most cheering nature aid there cannot be the slightest doubt but that the ¢Re formers" alias the Liberal Conserva- tives will give a good account of themselves when the next election comes. "The Grit watch-word, "Come.along, John, there are lots of money, and put down corruption," can never be repeated with any chance of success. Ifany one enter- taining the slightest doubt as to the importance of the above meeting or of its beneficial results to true re- form, or Liberal Conservative prin- eiples wil doubt will at once be moved by wading through the Dic- tator's couple of columns of rubbish on this subject which appears in his paper--the Saturday's Globe, re: The number, standing intelii- gence 'and determination of the delegates were gall and worm-wood to the pure corruptionist party and appear to have driven the dictator mad ; and in his despiration to ad minister a soothing syrup to his af- flicted ones he has perpetrated a cou. ple of columns of the most transpar ent rubbish ; however if such trash be any consolation to af flicted ones wo need not find fault. -- They must all feel particularly sore. th tao "Comme Along John." Some of our readers may not be aware of dhe full import of the now celebrated Grit watchword : "Come along John, we have lots of money ! and delp us to put down bribery ani eorruption." During the late election in London for a member of the Dominion Par. liament the contest was between the Hon. John Carling, a man of ability .and a Goanservative, and one Walker, a red-handed Grit. Walker, the Grit carried the election. But that Wal - ker bad obtained Lis election by the most accursed bribery was notorious to every one. A protest was lodged and when brought before the court the most disgraceful rascality was laid open, and Walker was legally and disgracefully kicked from his seat. It was during the trial that this famous letter was brought to light. A certain J, F. Madiner, a flaming Grit, but a miserable letter writer is the first to divulge the famous Grit pass-word. The following is a copy of John's letter :-- Loxvox, January 19, 1874. "Mr. Joh Blewitt,-- Sim,--I am requested to write you aud ask to come here on the 29th and vote for - 5 Walker for r¢presentative to Parlia- ment. Iam also writing to Cliffora: It is Mr Andrus' request you should vote for Walker and put out Carding, because be wants to put Macdonald in power again. -- your expenses and time if you vote for Walker, -- is an independent man and not a Grit,-- If you come write at once and state what and Mr Andrus and I, will meet yon "If you have a vote there you | Bull took the 1st prize.

Mrs J Hart took the 2nd prize on cheese: Mr Joseph Thomson took the 1su prize on 6 heads of cabbage, Miss Nancy Hart took the 1st prize on Farmer's wreath, Mrs Julius Shire took the 2nd prize on lace work, Mr Julius Shire's partridgeand buff Coch | instook the 1st. The Provincial Show. The Provincial Show for 1874 was held in the city ot Teronto dur- four days of last week. - The weath- er was all that conld be desired and this combined with the superior fa- cilities for getting to the city induced a throng of visitors much larger than at any previous show. North Ontario contributed largely towards swelling the throng, and the P. W. & P, P. R. contributed its share in moving the crowd. On Wednesday cision of the crowd and the action of the judges that Mr Carmichael's was to be one of the prize horses, the only difficulty ap- peared to be which prize he should have, common consent assigned him the 2nd prize but finally it was decided by the judges that he should have the 3vd ; and the 3rd prize from such horses is no mean distinction. -- In the Carriage stallion class the display 'was capital. We were pleased to see Reach well represented in this class, Our friend, Mr James Goode, showed a beauty of a two year old Carriage stallion, an animal which would be. hard to beat in any show.-- Amongst all the fine animals with which he was shown he was by common consent as- signed the 1st prize, however the judges gave him the 2nd prize--well done Reach, The show of Cattle not in point"of num- bers but in point of quality was never before approached in the province. In this class too, the reputation of Reach was well sus-- tained by the stockof Mr Joseph Mofiutt, near Saintfield. In the show of thorough-bred Durham Bulls the show was grand but Mr Joseph Moffatt's "Stat " was 1ly allowed to be unsurpassed by anything shown ; he carried of the second prize, $30. This bull was a universal favorite with all who saw him In thorough-bred Durham Cows. Mr Moffatt's "Match carried of the second we found the cars through from Port Perry to Toronto packed as" closely as it was possible to get people to- gother, standing Holt up. When ar- viving at Toronto we found the rush by all lines of railway to be about equal, adding, we should judge,some fifty or sixty thousand to the popu- lation of that handsome and pros- perous city. On landing in the eity visitors could not avoid being struck --their pockets at least--with the accommodating disposition mani- ested by those citizens with whom the traveling public comein contact. From the dear little beot-black up there appeared to be a general un- derstanding that the public for the time was a supurb ZOore standing badly in need of plucking and they were fools sho did not get ' a handful of the feathers. 'The little urchins having performed their shin- ing operations would turn up their amiable face, "Ten shents, mister, fair charges you know." The bar ber, after lathering Sou from the trow to the nape of the neck, filling your mouth in the operation, nearly twisting the nose off your face and dashing around you as if he would cut your throat informs yon most politely that he cannot afford to shave for less than double prices dur- ing fair'times:that others had gone in to shave without razors and that the legitimate razor might as well reap |adouble harvest as not. From step to step the conspiracy only develop- ed itself, from the miserable shabeen with its half dozen o'd rickety chairs its coaple of greasy old leds over which the bedbugs hold undisputable sway, its three pints of bad whiskey and its jug of Leer,up to the more stalely, more pretentious hotel all appeared determined to give the crowd a fleecivg, apd they succeeded to perfection. Every charge was doubled while the accommodations were of the' most miserable descrip- tion. The food was next to rubbish and it would be an insult to the Queen's English to dignify the sleep- ing dens with the designation of beds but the inevitable half dollar must { come whether for the luxury of the | tenth part of an ordinary bed or for | the equally luxurious treat of a hand- | ful of straw on the suspicious look- ing floor of an attic or cellar. But the more than doubtful mea! ar- rangements capped the climax, fifty cents secured a ticket, but a ticket didn't by any means secure a meal, a man who should succeed in carry- ing off ten cents' worth from the dinner table would be sorry for his load unless he had the digestive powers of an ostrich. Such treat- ment will in time work its own cure. The swaying throng passing along ths main streets of the city, the omnipresent street-cars with their living crowds, and the, endless string of carriages presented a scene of life and vigor worthy of the capi- tal of this fair province. THE SHOW GROUNDS. The show grounds as might be ex- pected, were the grand centre of at- traction ; it was hero where some idea might be formed of the status of this province whether in the su- periority of our Horses, Cattle,Sheep, &c., the excellence of the products of our soil, the advanced state of our manufactures ; the skill of our arti- zans and mechanics, the perfection to which our machinery is being car- ried, or the general wealth, intelli. gence and industry of the country. which manifested itself in whichever direction one turned himself. The Show of Machinery - and Im- plements fur surpassed any similar show anywhere in the province; in fact such a display would have done credit to any country. In the matter of carriages the display was very good both as to quality and numbers shown--though in point of bers one prize ($22) from all competitors. . Within the crystal palace the show was very good at least on the ground floor but the gallery was a decided failure. Re- move these thousand and one everlasting sewing machines which encumbered about two thirds of the space and what was left might almost be put into a common valise, while the quality was not above fifth rate,.-- It would almost appear as if the ladies had forgotten all about the show, a common country show with such an exhibition would bepronounced a successful failure. The show of cabinet ware and musical instru- ments was very fine. Mr. Davis was here with several instruments from the Uxbridge Organ Factory. We were pleased to hear the best judges both professional and amateur speak in the highest praise both of the music and get up of these instruments ; in these particulars the instruments are mot excelled on the continent. Uxbridge hag reason feel proud of the high position which their Organ Factory has already attained and to which it is so justly entitled, In the show of grain the township of Reach has taken a prominent position, Mr Thomas Manderson of the 1st concession of Reach, took the 2nd prize ($10) for 25 bus. fall wheat ; the 1st prize ($6) on 2 bus. white winter wheat ; the first prize (88). on 2bus. spring wheat; 1st prize (§6) on two bus. white oats; 2nd prize (8:1) on 2 bus. black oats. Well done Reach, The amount of money taken at the gate is handsome $19.260, but the entrance Leing 25 cts the money shows that 77,040 paid to get on the grounds: For dead-heads and others 3,000 may well be added showing that at least 80,900 people visited the grounds during the show. This ends the show of 1874. 1875 is to be held in Ottawa, On Thursday with a view to prove the perfect fire extinguishing propertics of the building was erected on the grounds and pretty well tarred to give the fire strangth, a very large crowd assembled to witness the feat, large numbers getting up on a long row of raised seats. When all was ready the'engine was led out tobe ready for the fight. The torch was applied and the flame soon began to ascend, the extinguisher was dragged to the attack but the fire appeared determined to complete dis work and he did it to perfection devouring everything that came in his way. We don't know whether the figl't was for money, if it were the fire has fairly won the stakes. While the fire was going on a large por- tion of the raiscd seats gave way precipitat. of them were much hurt but the very awk- { ward position in which many of the ladies found themselves when they got to the ground caused them to look as if they wished that the miserable old seats, engines and all had been burnt up with the old house. The business of pocket picking was driven with a vigor and proved highly remunera- tive whether it was the caterers who obliged a fellow to pick his own pockets and give them the change, or whether it was the light fingered gents who picked people's pockets without one knowing of it. However the caterers drove their pocket picking to such an extent the profits of the light fingers were much reduced, for unless partics went away with at least five times as much as they should require the caterers took it all and left nothing for the )ight fingers to operate on. -- South Ontario Fall Show of 1874. The report of the township of Brock Agricultural Society's Eall Show together with a somewhat extended report of the proceedings of the Brock municipal council left no gpace in our last issue for a report of of the South Ontario Fall Show, and now, at this late date, it appears like an old story, so that on the present occasion we shall \only notice those of our own township who have been successful in obtaining prizes at that excellent show. In the Durbam CattlesMr Moffatt of Reach secured through his excellent stock three prizes, In Canadian bred cattle he obtained two first prizes, -In the Grain and Seed class Mr «Thomas Mapderson, Reach, took five prizes, , four of them 1st prizes ; he could not be touched on wheat peas ar. oats. In the Ladies' Department Mrs W. H. Hayes of Prince Albert carried off first prizes right and left. She carried off some nine first and several second class prizes. ---- Agricultural Shows. The hip of Uxl A yrilin mi Society will hold their Fall .Show on. their Fair Grounds on Monday and Tuesday the 5th and 6th days of October. Our Uxbridge friends aro active and energetic in fair mat- ters as well as in all other interests and we expect to see a show worthy of their reputa- tio hold their Fall Show at C chemical fire extinguisher a small wooden | ing some hundred or so to the ground. None | Fall Show. The Fall Show of the N. O, E. D. Agricultural Society was held in Port Perry, on Monday and Tuesday last. A drizzling rain which came on about noon on Sunday had not yet ceased when Monday morning came and by that time roads and everything else were in a pretty muss; unmitigated mud was the or- der of the day and by whichever way one attempted to reach theshow grounds an ocean of mud had to be passed through. The show grounds are large and commodious and in a {fair way for being fenced. The hall is not a bad one and were it not for the abominable way of getting to it, the grounds after being all loveled and sorted up might do protty well. On entering the hall we found a number of the directors and others busily employed classifying and placing the several articles for ex- hibition, The wet morning had so retarded the arrival of the articles that it was dusk ere all the stuff was placed in the hall so that nothing could be done in the way of judging during the first day. On entering the hall to the left was an extensive and elegant display of Cabinet ware from the cabinet fac- tory of John Nott, Hsq., Port Perry. The collection consisted of side 'boards, bureaus, &c. got up in a style whether for quality of material, i workmanchip or finish would do credit to any cabinet factory in the Dominion. * Next in order we finda handsome case of harndgss from the shop of Mr Holmes Sund- erland, This contained a set of light barn. css tastefully mounted and got up in superior style. Next in order we find two cases of very fine harness from Mr. Cour. dice Harnesse Shop, which for style material or finish could not have been ex- celled at the provincial show. The Dairy produce was well but not extensively repre- | sented, some dozen tubs and about 15 baskets | of Butter. The show of Vegetables was | good for the scason--potatoés never were bet- | ter,Onions were really good though thequan- | tity was short. "The apples were abundant | and beautiful but the plums were few and | far between. Wines, Preserves. Jellies, &c., | &c., were abundant ; the prize for the best | bread was Lotly contested. 'The show of grain was unusually fine and a vast quantiiy | of it. Mr J BLazicr shewed a splendid variety of bentstuff, bee hives, cradels, barley forks, | shingles &c, The excellent display of panel i doors, window sashes, venitian blinds &c | was highly creditable to our pianing mill | aud door andsash factory. The display of ladies' work is far from being The dow. of bad ; there is a capital show of handsome | quilts, lots of coverlets, a generous supply of | ladies' and children's dresses-- iss -- shows | a splendid case of charming head dresses for ladies--the display of wax flowers and fruit, and funcy wreaths of all descriptions dis- played superior taste and patient indus- | try inthe ladies wha'got them up. The Ber- [lin Wool, both raised and flat, make a fine | display. | Messrs. McKenzie & Scott, I'hotographers, Port Perry, displayed one.of the finest col- lections of Picturesto be found in the Pro- | vince ;4his collection alone is worth going a | long way to sec, it was much admired by the | throng of visitors. | In Musical instruments the Uxbridge Or- | gan Factory occupied all of the ground and that thoroughly. Though the establishment of this factory is or comparatively recent date the instruments manufactured there occupy | a foremost place in the front ranks of music. | al instruments manufactured in the Domin- fon. Mr. Conboy, of Uxbridge, showed a su- perior collection of Carriages, a fine Bugey, and two Hangsome Cutters, which drew a large amount of the attention of the throng _ Tuesday the second day of the show was a bumper. The morning opened all that could be wished, clear, fair and pleasant _and par- tics began right early to hurry in with all they desired to exhibit ;and by noon the p grounds d an app Lut seldom equalled in a connty show. The grounds were fairly taken up with agricul tural implements of the very best description, As a matter of course the implements from the Brown & P: Whitby cultural & ima} and bas already gotten pretty near the front having carried off the 2nd prize. In the yearling Saddle or Carriage 'Fillies Mr Peter Christie swept the board, his fillies carried off both the 1st and 2nd prizes, His first prige filly is a beauty and would be hard to beat any where in the province. Mr James Goode's 2 year old Saddle or or Carriage Stallion is one of the finest animals of his class ever shown in Canada-- Mr Goode's yearling Saddle or Carriage Colt also took the 1st prize in its class it too is a beauty, Inthe two year old fillies Mr James Holman carried all before it and secured the 1st prize. This is a handsome animal, In the teams of Carriage horses_there were some fine animals but the judges and the' spectators appeared to differ widely as to the prize horses, . The Single-Drivers made a splendid ap- fifteen so tine 15 in one ring are not often seen.. Amongst others we saw Mr. Carmichael's Provincial Prize horse, Horses and drivers all behaved well with two exceptions, one ran into and upset another, and one appeared so terribly in- quisitive that she stopped every now and again either to listen to what the judges were saying about her, or she had taken the pet because she saw so many redticketsaround but no one appeared to come her way ; but when she found that she was neither 1st, 2nd. nor 3rd, she looked as sour as vinegar and would not budge, all the coaxing and long oats her driver coujd give her, In the General Purpose teams there were some beauties but whether it was that the excellence of the show bewildered the judges or the crowd, here, too was a wide difference between their decisions. In the Saddle horses the show was not large but most of them were superior animals Mr AlexBrown's led them all and carried off the 1st prize. Mr H Park showed two beau- ties in this class. They would both have been prize horses but for some dispute about the entry. Or space forjthe present issue is more than filled with show matters and we must defer the prize list till oat next, however reluctant we may be to do so. = Court of Assize. The Court of Assize for the County of On- tario opened on Monday, 28th ult, his Hopor Judge Morrison presiding, As there was no suit ready to go on the Court adjourned till Tuesday at 9 a m.

'The first case was Sexton vs. the Corpora- tion of Port Perry, M C Cameron and P A Hurd for plaintiff and J H Cameron ana W M Coch- rane for the defence. The defence challenged five of the jury.-- When a jury had been empanneled Mr MC Cameron opened the case. He said the case about to be brought before the jury was one of considerable jmportance in which his client, Mr Sexton, claimed damages from the corporation of Pot Perry for injurics he had sustained in conse queuce of the blocking up of a certain street within that village, This! street called Water St, which is crossed by the railway--a plan of which will be shown to the jury--was 80 blocked up that there was not sufficient ropm to pass and which owing to the liklihood of horses becoming fright- ened by the cars ought to have been kept en- tirely clear go as not to increase the danger. The plaintiff had been driving past this place when the blowing off the steam from one of the engines caused his horse to shy and in endevoring to passa wagon , he could not turn out in consequence of these obstruc- tions, he came in contact with the wagon had his buggy upset from which he had re- <cived severe injuries and this action is Drought to recover damages for these injuries and to show that the corporation had no right to allow abstractions to remain on their streeets- There can be no boubt as. to the responsibility of corporations keeping their streets or roads in a good state of ccpair, and the damages in this case are for injurics received by the plaintiff in consequence of the corporation neglecting this duty. Ar J H Cameron for the defence, , address- ingthe-Court, urged the following pleas-- 1st That no action lay inasmuch as the in- jury was sustained ip consequence of com- ing in contact with a wagon and not with any of the obstructions complained of ; and 2nd, had tle iujuries been received in con- works were without a rival inalmost every- thing they exhibited. Their Reapers and Mowers have now fairly established thejr claim to the formost place amongst all such hines, their ity for ing being the only limits to their sales. So long as parties can get one of the Brown & Pat- Patterson machines they will take no other. They had on hand a Johnston Reaper a Warrior Mower and their celebrated Cayuga, Mowers. There were also cutting boxes. -- The above were allshown by ther agents the Messrs Johnston. The broad-cast sow ers exhibited by Mr Johnston the Joseph Hall Works, Oshawa, were highly spoken of by the many farmers wlio own them or who have any knowledge ot their great value as an important aid to the farmer in his work as well as great ecop- omizers of the grain. The day is not far distant when a farmer will no more think of going into bis field to sow grain with the hand than hegwill attempt to cut his crops with the sickle. Toenumerate one half of the many implements shown on ttis occa. sion wonld require much more space than we have at our disposal 4his week. The live stock exhibited on this occasion spoke highly of the future of our province in 4he matter of first class stock.

On our first ar- rival in the country over twenty years ago deceased was then found to be an active friend and advocate of the advancement, religious and intellectual, of the township of Reach. He was a devoted, consistent but unassuming leading member ot the M. E.

Found him badly injured, his right arm was broken near the shoulder ; the small bope of his lcft leg was also broken and the ancle badiy injured and himsclt badly bruised otherwise, Have not yet made out my bill. Had toattend him twice a day for the greater part of the time. I attended him two months. Tmflamation of the lungs set in. Inflamation of the lungs may be induc- ed by a severe shock to the system. My bill may be from $75 to $100 or more, Plaintiff has not yet recovered from the offects of the injuiies received ; he may never entirely ré- cover. Some of the injurics may be perma- nent from a stiffening of the shoulder joint. [ know the place where the accident hap- pened and the wonder is that accidents did not happen before Mr Sexton was hurt from the way the road was obstructed -- These obstructions had been there three months before the accident happened. -- There is much travel on that street, it is the main thoroughfare between Scugog and Port Perry. The rest of the evidence was immaterial. After a few remaks from the Counsel for the defence the comrt decided that. the case should go before the judges and dismisséd the jury. -So the case stands.
