PORT PERRY, MARCH 9, 1876. Disgraceful Legislation. Perbaps in all the ridiculous legis- lation over offered in the halls of our legislature, Dominion or Local, that perpetrated in the halls of our legislature at Ottawa onthe 2nd inst. is the most disgraceful and goes far to prove the rotienness of the whole system. The committee on the publishing of the Hansard had the matter of the translation into Frenth of the Debates under consid- eration, and after considerable dis- cussion it was determined to ask for tenders and Mr. De. celles of the Minerve made the lowest tender ; and he being in every way thoroughly qualified and perfectly reliable the committee agreed that he should have the con- tract and reported accordingly to the House. a t Detelies isnot a overnment hack, his r is o 5 to the TN i i Mo- enzie and other blinded partizans lost all control of themselves at the baré 'idea of an opposition paper getting any public work and at once advised insulting the committee by going back on their recommendation by rejecting Decelles' tender not- withstanding that it was much the lower. What does the angust Pro- mier care how much may be lost to the country if backs get it ! and he in effect ordered his voting machines 10 vote against receiving the report of the committee so that he might have the work giver to a tool with- out regard to the price or the quality of the work ; and out of a house of $160,96 were willing to disgrace themselves and their constituents by going back on every principle of justice, fair play and economy all to please their "tyrant chief and pander to his contracted narrow souled policy. So Mr Decelles' tender was rujected and the member for North Ontario was party to the disgrace. We were pleased that the member for E. Toronto and the member for South Ontario rose above the miserable servitude and voted like men for justice and right as against infamous, petty, party treachery. However 96 carried the wote against 64 and Mr Decelles' tender though the lowest, was trampled under foot. Public Meeting. 'We are informed that there will be a Si on a ai + i a a a -- : ais Lesage Another Bonus. a debt over the poor thing which can be wrought to the greatest ad yo Tea Social and Concert: in seeking to purchass that piece of and was Brothers Holden and Draper whose unchanging, everlasting love and esteem for each other have always been conspicuous and sincere, have during the early part of this week, been feeling the financial pulse of Port Perry, on the sly, with the view of ascertaining how much bleeding she can stand in way of bonus towards the extension of the P.W.& P.P.E.R in the direction of Lindsay. After an active mis- sionary tour round the village and neighborhood the two dear friends drew up at the Walker House and held what might be styled an im- promptu missionary meeting. Bros. Holden and Draper rivaled each other in their expressions of burning zeal for the interests (or rather the cash) of Port Perry. They were not here to ask anything, of course not, they had only dropped into the village by chance and, thought they would feel the pulses of the people for the fun of the thing and find out if there were any one sufficiently gullable to be made believe that a single soul in Port Perry can possi bly be benefited by the proposed extension. The meeting was emall only a fow invited guests. '"Neddy" was there, he is a convert'to any cause, however ridiculous, where a few crumbs are to be expected, and like Kennedy's "bairn" he expects from Brother Holden a piece of breed and as much treacle on't as will stop both his mouth and lugs. The meetitg, of course, did noth- ing and was not in a position to do anything but the missionaries in- formed the meeting that they would soon return in an official capacity and put on the screws. That the extension of the road to Lindsay would put money in Mr. Draper's pocket--thoungh he never did care much for money--will be readily admitted by all, as more grair and other freight will come to his store- houses and harbor when the roa runs through to Lindsay than does now and the more stuff the more dues to Mr. Draper. But ot course his anxiety to have the road extend- ed is not for his own benefit but from pure patriotism. Mr Holden being one of the "inner ting," according to the Sheriff, has a better lien on the road with every additional dollar that is invested in it; so that it is nothing strange'if he should feel anxious to secure addi- tional bonusos, That the town of Whitby should "|desire the extension and be willing to invest something handsome to secure that object would be good a public meeting in the village of Uxbridge on to-morrow, 10th inst. for the purpose of making a final dash at the appointment of a License Tuspector for North Ontario, when all the faithful, their sons mot their ~~ daughters, their mon servants not their maid-servants, their ---- and their ---- are ex- pected to putin an appearance. The M.P.P. for North Ontario will preside. -------- MocKenzie's Modesty. It will'be remembered that Mr. McKenzie had a trip to Europe a short time ago and spread himself considerably amongst the Abe < awans and the gaping i nts o' other out 0' the way places, making a palaver over what he was doing among the Cunnucks. The only thing remarkable in the whole tran- saction is the modesty of the man; he slipped his hand into the public chest and took therefrom about $2, 500 to pay the extravagant sums spent by him during the trip. His small pittence of a pay, 8500 a month, ean't afford a pleasure trip, shame! Ee-- Extremes Meeting. At atime when the members of the Ontario Government are pillag- ing the public chest and adding to their pwn salaries over a lu dollars a month, while hon, members each were allowed to a souple of bundred dollars in the scramble; the inion Premier takes a plea sure to Europe the bill, , for ing money to the . is is the spending policy, because the extension will certainly benefit Whitby town. Lindsay, too, may well afford to make a sacrifice in" order to secure the road, for ifonly one half of what Brothers Holden and Draper prom- will prove highly profitable. But where the missionaries will find a text.for Port Porry we are at a loss to guess. That the extension of that road will injure Port Perry toa considerable extent is just as plain {as the fingers on a man's hand, con- verting a terminus to a way station is an important change for the worse for the locality coneerned,and no amount o! Saphialy will altor the fact, it J niversal application Sprit any one in Port Fe to contribute a dollar to the extension of that road it would be like hiring a 'burglar to rob one's own premises. That Port Porry has a legitimate use for all her change is pretty well known to all and when there is any te spare there are profitable under- takings in which to invest it. 1f itbe a fact, ns was asserted by the county of Victoria Misionaries, that once the road is extended to Lind- say farmers will there get four or five cents every bushel more fo their grain than they can get with- out ny af those who have been in the habit of coming to Port Peity will then go to Lindsay and we shall lose a large share of the trade from that quarter ; in fact the entire drift of the arguments made use of by the missionaries, to induce the people of Ops and Mariposa to vote for the by-law, their i formerly, havingas good yeas , rE (] the arguments made use of did not mean that they medi. uolbing and nitue, issionaries ve offer Part Perry as an n. commit commercial ised them be realized the investment would break the back of the Grand Trunk, But this big-crediting must come to an end ; in fact the thing now reminds us of a dog story we once heard. A certain party owned a dog of which he was very fond and gave his dogship a great many liberties around the House much to the annoyance of his batter half ; the wife complained ot the an- noyance and remonstated with her husband urging him to give the dog away to some one or shoot him.-- The husband took away the dog one morning and returned in the even. ing without him but in high spirits, and meeting his wife at the door ex- claims, Hallo! Mary, I've sold my dog at last! Mary replies, O, John! I am glad that you got rid of him; but sold him, you say ? was any one foolish enough to give yon anything for him? Why, yes! said John, I Zot $200 for him, O, John! you are a splendid trader, give me the mon- ey and I will put it away. Ah! no, Mary, 1did not get money, but I am to get two pups worth $100 each.-- So the "inner ring's" entering up of credits will soon be like John's dog and his two pups. = ES A Smash Up on the P. W.&P.P. Railroad. On the morning of Friday last, 3rd instant, the train which leaves Port Perry at 6:30 had a pretty general break up near the Manchester station caused by the breaking of a piece out of one of the small wheels of the locomotive--the James Austin, Eyery revolution of thé broken wheel broke the rail and the consequence was that the third cat ran off the track and all coming after followed its ple. The train consisted first of the engine and tender followed by four cars loaded with cord wood, next a car loaded with tanbark, then two cars loaded with grain, and these were followed with the baggage-van and passen- ger car. The grain .cars were left wrong side up and the grain scattered all around; the van and the passenger car got over on their rides the latter nearly on the top of the former ; the passenger car is completely | destroyed one side being fairly driven in.-- There were only some five or six people on the pusscnger car and fortunately not one of them was injured in the slightest degree, Messrs. A. Ross, one of the Directors of the company, and I. J. Davis, station master at Port Perry and others were in the van, Buth of these gentlemen got injured but we are glad to know neither of them severely. The Brakesman was the only other party injured, The loss will be considerable but the rig was only a livery and it will be a nice question as to whether the owners or the company must repair the damage ; the hire paid by the company for the rig is large enough inall conscience to afford a pretty good margin for any damage it may sustain, Tt is saidthat the broken wheel was known to be cracked--though running every day--for some weeks before the disaster, It surcly cannot be possible that any oi the hands were aware that they were running with a cracked wheel on the locomotive, no sane man would be willing to commit suicide after any such fashion, for the lives, especi- ally these of the driver and fireman were in greater joopardy than any others and in fact it is a fortunate event that they were not both killed as the chances are they would both have been had the engine run off tha. drack, and itis almost a miracle that itdid not. Ifany one knew that the wheel was unsound and did not make it known he is deserving of something much more severe than censure. But no crack could exist in any ot the wheels a single trip without de- lection if the wheels were regularly sounded 28 they should be;no crack can eseape detec- tion and this duty should be rigidly enforced and if it is not the company are highly ¢®n- surable and neither deserve the patronage nor confidence of the public. We have always looked upon Mr Dean, the, engineer, as an active, efficient, careful hadd, and we cannot suppose that he would be so reckless of his own life or that of others, to try to hobble alopg with a wheel and a half. The con- ductor, 100, is an intelligent, careful officer, caretul of both the comfort and safe- ty of his passengers. There was a driver on that road who repeatedly and publicly threatened that if he got the Editor of the Opszaver on he would run him to he----1 But these were the days when the road was manipulated by a northern clique. and the Oumssxves 'in the 'interests of ithe public regarded it as a duty to expose their frauds, but these days have passed away and #0 has the clique, and the Opszavea has the satisfaction of seeing matters vastly improv- ed as to the management, -- Our Manufactures. «Canadians are only beginning to appreci- ate aright the value and importance of man- ufacturing establishments, not only from a local but from a national point of view ; henoe we notice in every locality with any pretensions to life, bonuses are offeretl, taxes forgiven, sites bestowed and every facility and encouragement offered for the introduc.

The next was asort of "Reading" but neither the subject nor the Reader appeared in feftle, 'The subject was about some one trying to worry a fly but found the task too much for him and "he gnawed and chewed at it till the audience fairly squirmed and began to wish that he mightswallow it whole and that it might shut off farther supply. -- He clutched the book with both hands and we expected every moment to see him take hold with his teeth.

The above Council met at the Town Tall, ou Tuesday evening, 7thinst, Members all present except the Reeve who was absent through sickness. Mr Crandell was called to the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The Clerk read tenders for the Weigh Scales for the present year from the follow- ing partics :--J. V. Thompson, $50 ; H. Charles, $55 ; Jesse Ireland, $65 ; H., Burn- ham, $75. Mr Worthington moved that Mr Burnham's tender be accepted. Mr Rolph objected to the motion "as in- complete and advised the mover to require security, After some discussion Mr Currie moved that the tender of H Burnham be ac- cepted on condition that he furnish such security as will be satistactory to the Reeve. --Carried. The Clerk read several tenders for the supply of cedar, and that of F E Lawrence being the best his tender was on motion of Mr. Rolph, accepted on condition that he enter into a written agreement satisfactory to the Reeve, for the faithful carrying out of the conditions of the contract. The Clerk read the tepders for supplying the plank required forthe Corporation. Mr Worden, Utica, offered to supply the plank at $9 per thousand, board measure. Messrs Paxton, Bigelow & Trounce offered also to supply it at $9 a thousand, Mr Crandell suggested that the description of plank was not mentioned whether it was pine or bemlock, Mr Rolph moved that the tender of Pax- ton, Bigelow & Trounce be accéjfted and that it be understood that pine be suppled and that the contractors enter into a written agreement, satisfactory to the Reeve, for the faithful fulfillment.of the conditions of the contract, The Clerk read the. petition of 8. E Cran- dell setting forth that the duties of Chimney Inspector had not been properly perfouned during the past year ; but that he being a practical man could perform the duties effi- ciently and would solicit the Council to ap- point him.

In slumber resting peacefully ; but, oh{ the the committee to put a value upon Mr Campbell's property. Mr Campbell has showed much forbearance towards the cor- poration and the council wishes to act hon- ably by him but they can't go to put « price on his land; at least he (Crandell) when selling propefty likes to set his own price. Mr Campbell says it strikes him from the Rast h + of the that they intend to settle this matter very "easily, they are adopting a cavalier style of getting over the difficulty, but he is amind not to settle the matter qnite so easily ; it is for the corporation first to compensate him for the damage done to his property and then if they wish to purchase any portion of his lot that will be on after consideration, After a few more remarks from the mem- bers of committee Mr Currie interposed say- ing that the discussion was entirely out of order ; it was expected, he said, that the committee should report at this meeting but no report has been made and they appear to have done nothing in the matter and don't appear inclined to de anything, they have not even asked for an extension of time, he for one would be willing to grant an extension of time if the committee desire it. Na Mr. Rolph asked for an extension of me. Mr, G. Currie, a member of the board of School Trustees, made application to the Council for $300, being "a balance of the amount ordered by the School Board to be collected for school purposes last year. Mr. Currie moved that the Reeve and Treasurer be authorized to borrow on the credit of the corporation as per Iy-law No. 87, the sum of §300and place the same to the credit of the School Board, Mr. Rolph moved in amendment, that the application on behalf of the School Board be referred to the Finance Cemmittee and that they report on the same at next meet- ing of Council, On the amendment being put, Mr. Rolph said that this was. the proper channel pass and be reported, on besides there is no money in the treasury ; but the sale of the $5000 debentures is expected to be closed to-morrow when the corporation will have funds from which to pay-this amount, and they had better not borrow now. The amendment was declared lost and the motion carried. On motion of Mr Worthington the sum of $60 was ordered to be paid to the Collector, in full of his salary as said collector. Mr Rolph brought the matter of a lock-up before the attention of the Council, and after an informal discussion the matter dropped. A petition was laid on the tabel praying t he Reeve to call a pub- lic meeting of the villagers at an early day to discuss the propriety ot aiding by bonus the extension of the P.W, & P.P.E.R.; but in the absence of the Reeve no action was taken, On motion of Mr Worthington the Council adjourned, ---------- BIRTHS.

Deceased was a fair and promising flower, a universal favorite amongst her "youthful acquaintances ; she had a loving and amiable disposition and her removal in life's gay morn, in her carly bloom and beauty, Las cast a gloom over the village, and the devot- ed parents and sorrowing family have the sympathy of all in their sorrow The funeral took place on Sablath and was one of the largest we have seen in this quarter fora long time. The C.M. Church was filled even to the passes and still large numbers could not get within cven the outer door to hear the sermon, The Rev. Mr. Madden gave out the 730th hymn-- " Give me the wings of faith to rise Within the veil and sce The saints above, how great their joys How bright their glories be." Afier prayer the Choir chanted that beau. tiful passage, Rev. vii ch. from verso 13, " Who are these arrayed in white, &c, !"-- It was charmingly doneand most appropriate for the occasion. C. Philp now read the lessons, the xxiii Psalm. The Lord is my Shepherd ; I shall not want--and part of the vii chap. of Revelations, This was followed by sing-- ing the 45rd hymn-- "And am I born to dic ; To lay this body down ? And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown ?" v. gentleman now gave out his text ; Ecclesiastes xii chap. and verse 7th "Then shallibe dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return to God who gave it." The speaker set out by remarking that he was not there to speak of the dead nor to the dead but to the living, for their edification, comfort aus improvement and that they may receive the lesson which this solemn event is so well calculated to imparl, the lesson which it is designe to teach ; were man possessed of power suffici- ent to recall the spirit again to take pos. session of the body, that power in this case would not be exercised; where we believe that the spirit has been made meet and fit for the inheritance of the saints in light, -- The sermon was of decpest interest, fraught with instruction and admoninition, and was listened to with unwavering attention throughout by the laige and intelligent con. gregation which filled every part of that fine church, We intended giving a synopsis oi the sermon, but in reading over our report of it we dare not cut it, for in doing so we would only mutilate one of the finest funeral sermons we have heard, and which must be heard from the eloquent lips of the speaker to be fully appreciated. The closing hymn was the 44th-- ¢ And am I only born to die, And must 1 suddenly comply With nature's stern decree?"
