Te Joshua the Tittle, Laying out of Egyptian honda ness crossed the last and commenced his sojourn ina strange land, Joshua baving thus tasted of the sweets and anticipating the plunder of office got fairly beside himself and trampled under foot every principle of justice and honor. Previous to the meeting of Council Josbua managed to form a triumvir- uté with-Oaleb Crandell and John Currie' with the View of sezuring a fat thin g for, Noddy" and punish- ing the as office because it wou!d not fall down and worship the golden cglves ;'cousequently Joshua and his pair -of tools were armed to the teeth eve the Coungil met. At a pregoncerted signal-=the tools were on; the alert and "Neddy" was sitting ' grinning - from ear to ear. Joshua draws forth a document, with all the , circum- stance of a state: paper, containing Neddy's modest offer, to 'do. [the printing of the corporation for the present year for $75.00, and accord- ing to previous arrangement one of tae tools got into the ink up to the elbows and threw to the world a virgin motion to give "Neddy" the printing on his own luscious terms. As a matter of course tool No, 2 had to'rush ia with a celebrated second. Joshua and Neddy now commenced a lively grinning daett supposing they had carried their fraud unop- posed, but thers happened to be two members present who could nol be their very first act to give the lie to tho declaration they had just signed the ink of their signature was scarcely, dry over which they had promised to do justly and protect the interests of the Corporation.-- But no seuner does Joshua get an opportunity to vent his petty spleen on the OBSERVER than he tramples his declaration in the gntters and | perpetrates a fraud on the Corpora- tion on Jjupose to get a fling at the OBSERVER, and he secures two con- venient tools to follow him into all the depth of his iniquity. But Messrs Worthington and Rolph are not to be so handled they prefer justice and the interests of the cor: poration to the miserable conspir- acy of Rings ana Cliques, they have a regard far their declaration t office und as soon as the frand had been anvounced Mr Worthing= ton moved in amendment that the printing for the corporation he let by tender. Mr Rolph seconded the amend- meat. On the amenimeng! ing submitted Messrs Worthing afd Rolph voted yea. Messrs dell and Currie voted nay. This left a tie and Joshua had to ncknof: Hedge his illegitimate bantling hd] vote nay; and s0 the amendment was declared lost. _The original bantling was then put, Kessrs Crandell and Currie voting yea and Messrs Rclph and Worthington voting nay, and again Joshna had to endorse his concocted fraud and-vote against every princi: ple of honor and justice and violate his declaration ; but no matter, Joshua swallowed the pill and voted that "Neddy" should have things his own way and get the printing on his own terms; What do the ring care for the interest of the corpora= | tion if they can' vent their petty spleen and get a fling at a supposed enemy. 'Gur readers will doubtless wonder when reading the minutes of the Council, as given inanother column | what bas become of all the yoas and | 'nays referred to above.

The Anniversary services in connection with the M E Church, Port Perry, 'held on Sabbath and Monday last. x The Rev J R Juques conducted the servi- ces on Sabbath, morning and evening. , The Rev gentleman fully sustained his reputation as a finished pulpit orator ; without stooping to dazzle--which too frequently blinds--the gifted divine poured upadulterated gospel round bim like a shower of geld ; and all who heard bim will thank the Rev. Mr. Abbs for affording them an opportunity of listen- ing to so eloquent, impressive and instruc- tive sermons, The Church was crowded 'at both services by attentive and delighted audiences. The exquisite sermons and choice music fuinished made the services of of Sabbath unusually pleasant as well as profitable. On Monday the entertainments consisted of Tea, Music and Addresses. The ladies on this cceasion even excelled their former efforts in getting up a tea which for excel- lence and abundance was deservedly placed in the frout rank of all such entertainments ever held in this locality large numbers partook of their generosity. The perform- .ances of the Church Choir were deservedly admired ; the church and the village may well be congratulated on the possesion of so fine a choir. Miss Abbs is certainly in the { front rank of our best lady singers aad but few handle the organ beter, She has a fine, "44ull-toned voice and having complete con- trol over it she singy with capital taste and ctfeet--but it is invidious 10 make distinc- ladies aud gentlemen did themselves credit by their charming singing. The mueic was good and lots of it. dn the matter of Ad- dresses there was considerable variety. Bev Mr Chesney was the first speaker, he selected the church as the theme of his dis- course, The speaker dwelt on the necessity for the church being distinuished for a close adberance to the four I's--a living, loving, liberal and laboring church, Rev Mr Bennett followed, he spoke earn- but evidently had a complete miscon- ception of {lic purpose and object of the entertainment, Rev Mr Galloway chose the Bible as his topic ; be spoke briefly and but with excell- ent effect. Rev Mr Pickekering followed, he added another requisite to the formation of a com- plete church--the church he said should be sympathetic, illustrating his subject in a variety of ways, ' v The Rev Mr AUbs followed carrying Mr Pickcring's: deductions to their legitimate bounds--the sympathy felt by the hosts of vaitiag and watching angles over the spirit- ual condition of men, The ringing of # God Save the Queen" by the whole, followed by the benediction by Nev G Jones brought to a close just such an- 'niveswryscrvicesasall like to take partin and are better for doing so.

Mr. Ewers thought $125 was quite plenty. Mr 8t. John said he bad no objection to pay a man for all that his seryices are worth and to see that he performs his duties efficiently, Mr. Christie thought that $125 was a fair pay. .

There must be rometting Lehind which is not vet told for we cannot believe it possible for any children to drive off their aged and destitute father, unless something extraor- dinary should have intervened between them, On motion of Mr. Dobson, the applicant was referred to the Poor Commissioner.
