'mors of wars from both the Village and township. A regular municipal duel is looked for in the Village, the ho:ts are already mustering, and " PORT PERRY, DEC. 22, 187 pal Parliaments. 'The elestors throughout tho sever- al Municipalities of the Provinceare sgnin called upon to comsider and 'choice of fit and proper per- sons into whose hands they may place, with confidence, the manage- ment of the affairs of the municipal institutions in the coming year. It is of the utmost importance that a wise selection be. made. We have reason to congratulate the commun: ity on the fact that in almost every "municipality the numbers of men of fering themselves to the choice of the electors are always sufficient to giveroom for a pretty fair selection and, all things considered, the won- der is that so many are willing to undertake the responsible and not over pleasant duties of Municipal Councilor. Whatever may be said to thecontrary every man who offers his services in any such capacity deserves the thanks of the commun maonity. If any one conceives that he could be of service to the public in this or any other capacity and is willing to give these services if the public desire them, such a . ore de- serves well of the public and should by 20 means be hooted at as is fre- quently the case. If oneby offering his services could force the commun: ity to accept of these services there might be room for sneering -at par- ties who should offer themselves ; but so long as the electors have full power either to choose or refuse such services the amiable sneer is mis- placed. The necessity for a careful. sele tion of municipal concilors is be- coming more apparent every year. Of all the legislation with which we are blessed or cursed opr municipal Jegislators are the only ones who deal in direct taxation. Our Legis- lators--Dominion and Local--screw ns tightly enough, dear knows, but then the taxes they collect from us aro indirect, and perhaps thero is not one man in every thousand who knows anything of the large amount that is screwed out of bim in way of indirect taxes on all he eats, drinks and wears, while there is scarcely a child in the land but knows exactly the rate of taxation imposed by tte Municipal Councils. It is very far from being a matter of indifference to the public into whose hands they trust the municipal Government ; aod while a fair share of legislative capacity is necessary, honor, integ. rity and caution are indispensable. It is the most absolute fully for peo ple to growl and complain of gov- ernment, either Parliamentary or Municipal, and at the same {ime go blindly in to elect men withont eny regard to their capacity or chacter. 'A highly important part of the duties of our Councils--of the Reeves and Deputies at least--is transacted at the Counties Councils. The du- _ties here, too, bave changed of late, or at least the manner of conducting them have been much improved ; the day bas gone by when rings can work these matters, when the great est tricksters were considered the Jest and most useful representatives; 'that day, we say, has gone by and neither rings nor trichsters can any longer play off their pranks with impunity. Your confirmed trickster is now justly regarded as a fraudand #0 fartrom deriving any advactage from his cunning he is known and watehed, and in place of getting an advantage his municipality will'get 'werimp justice, less than it would with an honerable, fair dealer. "Abe may be the Conncils for an- other year is yet uncertain. even the mames of the candidates are not posi- tively known till after the Nomina- 'tions. In Reach we bave a host of names as likely Candidates. For the Reeveship it is said that Mr. Ewers 'will seek.re-election. Messrs. St. John and Holman are spoken of as candidates for the Reeveship.

'When the toscin had fairly sounded " to arms" for the municipal contest and the present Reeve of Port Perry had signified his ihtention of declining farther honors in that direction the best friends of the municipality looked carefully around to find out an eligible successor for the present Reeve, one in whom they could place the most implicit reliance for a faithful and fearless ing Neddy. The chargeisa serious one, one in fact of which we were asham- ed and embrace this opportumty of proving to the contrary. + Over a year ago "Neddy" and we, and a great many more publishers throughout the Dominion got an or- der from Cleremont Daniels & Co., Montreal, instructing as to advertise $300,000 worth of Fall and Wiseter Goods. Part of the advertisement ran thus : "Fall and Winter Goods such as are constantly used in every family at from 50 to 100 per cent cheaper than the same Goods can be bought forat retail stores.' We can well afford to live on legitimate bus- iness; 'and iff we oould not we would not have recourse to fraud, so we politely informed Cleremont Daniels & Co. that their advertise- ment was a humbug and cheat and field. that we would not insert it. We C---- knew then as we know now that no "The friends thou hast and their |firm who meant to pay for their option tried Grapple to thy | goods could afford to sell either 100, 50, or even 6 per cont below the merchants of this seetion of country.

But the world knows that such is not the fact, there is no lack of talent within the corporation, then why under heaven do they seek to import help? Were we in Mr Jones' pesition we would leave the field in disgust and would not be pitted «gainst a foreigner. Of course he can carry the election if he pleases to continue the contest, but if we .were in his place wo would withdraw, We would remind the villagers of Byron's " In native swords and native ranks your only hope of success dwells 1" Spp---------- The Fire King's Defenoe. respoet -the unflinching, dis- the athy Fhatsuch a miserable may relinquish his cups is-a matter for congratula- tion,and when the reformed one feels bumble for the past and seeks to work for an institution which bas pluck- ed him as a brand from the burning; poidis gyupabel is turned towards him.

So in"due time we received the compliments of Neddy's patron's warning us that a suit had been entered against us for $10,000 damages. We did not feel in the least annoyed over it and ere the suit had time to warm into life Neddy's p.crons had to take them- selves off, carrying with them our suit and Neddy' s pay for advertising --and served him right.

The Port Perry Christmas Fair including the Show of Cattle, Fat Hogs, Poultry and of Butter, was held on Thursday, 16th inst. The day was charming and in every way suited to a lively Fair. There were not 'many Cattle on the grounds but the quality '| was very fine, there were some prime ani- mals showp. Mr. John Leask showed some beauties ; Mr. F'.

The show of Butter was very good ; there, were over tour hundred pounds of as good Batter as one could wish to sce shown on this occasion. Utica swept the board in roll Butter, the first and secopd prizes both going ito that locality, and again in Tub Butter Utica distaneed all competitors.
