PERRY, NOV. 1, 1877. Et The Grits in Sackcloth and Ashes. The defeat of Mr. Laurier--the would-be member of the McKenzie Government--in the united counties | of Drummond and Athabacka is a le blow to Grit aspiration.-- Meters had to got rid of Mr. Couchon, of odoriferous notoriety, and he sent him to exhale in' the far west; but Couchon was one of the twenty-five dollars a day men and the place is too good to leave vacant some favorite must get it. But McKenzie knowing that heand his party having all but ruin- ed the country are justly regarded with avertion and the people long for an opportunity to drive every man of them from power. Poor McKenzie was in quite a fix there were lots to whom he would like to give the position but he dare not knowing that their would only be too glad of an oppor- tunity to throw them out of their seats. Laurier, an aspiring Grit or Rouge, (meme chose) The member for the united counties of Drummond and Athabaska, was regarded as invul- nerable having been returned at the constituents Finally he pitched upon late-election by a majority of over three handred ; but so obnoxious has the McKonzie Government 'that even Laurior could through and the electors majority of 29 elected him to stay at home and returned in become not get by a his stead one Mr. Bourbean a strong oppon- out of the McKenzie The wail in the Grit camp is piteous in regime. the extreme, their light has gone out in total the windy Globe down to the most in- significant penny whistle all are commanded to put on sackcloth and and "go into fasting sud fibbing.-- " %hey will have to dotho former when: the government pap ig igmov- ed and the latter element. darkness; and from is their natorai Remember the Poor. The officials of the Court of Chan- cery and of the superior courts, Toronto, were assessed for their ine ©omes, and they are incomes worth | ussessing. The council wisely con- 'cluded that men drawing soveral thousands dollars a year should not be put on the list of paupers and thereby be exempt from taxation, especially when it is considered that these magnificent salaries are all wrung from the already overbur- dened taxpayers, The modest offici- als however thought differently and appealed to the court of revi- sion on Saturday last and were re- leased from the assessment The bard handed, toiling ones are good "for it let thom toil and sweat and RY never mind though their ilies want the comforts and may be deprived of the necessaries of life ; themselves, their wives and their children go half clad and half fed, let them pay away! but the silken~handed, far-clad, over-fed Chancery and Superior Court brood must not be touched they must not be asked to pay taxes. The Court "of Chancery is at best an umitigated "burlesque, an expensive toy costing the country untold thousands and EF ving noreturn.

Tho habit of saving is of the greatest importance but not easily acquired, and there. is no other way whereby the habit can so fairly and so profitably be acquired as by taking advantage of the facil ities offered by the savings bank.-- In ordinary circumstances the great- est difficulty lies in saving the first $100, and without the aid of a sav- young men to save that amount.-- They have five or ten dollars more than they really require, but if there is no savings bank they have no in- ducement to put away their money and they carry it about with them; with money in their pocket they see and are attracted by many things they do not require and frequently would be better without, but they huye the money with them and have ular use for it and they One foolish ther and the no parud make the investment. investment leads to any surplus is soon squandereu.

In place of carrying five or ten dollars about in his pocket by placing it at once in the savings bank all inducement to wasteful expenditure is removed and he will have the satisfaction of seeing the amount to his credit in- creasing as well from the intorest as from the successive deposits until the amount is such as make it advis- able to transfer it either to'the bank or properly invest it. And the first $100 being saved such habits are acquired as make the saving of the next hundred a simple matter.

Jumes is a public servant we hire him to do a certain service and he ought to perform it faithfully without any airs or style over it.-- The company pocket the people's money for carrying their mails and they must do it and that faithfully too.

Wiikinson. This trial was up up before the Assize Court at Cobourg on Friday of last week and ended on Saturday in finding the defendant--the late publisher of the West Durham News --guilty on both counts ot the in- dictment,or rather the jury copsider- od that the defendant failed to prove hig charge against Senator Simpson and next that he failed to justify the publication of the charge, and that therefor the publisher of the News was found guilty of the crime of libel. Senfence has been deferred until the next term of the Couft. Much of the sworn testimony--had it not been under the solemnity of an oath would have been amusing as it went far to show the absolute control which some people bave over their memories 80 a8 to remember and forget at will. The verdict brought in by the jury was the only one possible under the circumstances and all will bow to the dacision with the best grace possible. Senator Simpson was doing an un- fair act when he as the bead of an extensive monied institution made himself conspicuous in parliamentary contests even extending his intorter- once beyond the bounds of his own riding, euch interference in fact as no officer or president of any public banking or other similar institution should be allowed to indulge in.-- And if public men will outstep the bounds of propriety in such matters they have no reason to whine when they get over the fingers. But honor and reputation are no less dear to a man because he happens to be a man and no one should be allowed to attack either with impunity ; and for the credit of our country, and the honor of our public men all will re- joice that so grave a charge was not sustained against one of the pioneers of the country, a Senator of the Do minion and the head - of one of our 'most popular banking institations, But the extravagant raving of 'the is amusing, they appear to ignore , the fact that the trial was simply a to have the old story repeated to them go frequently as once or twice So anxious parties, no matter moping round till next day without their mails (and they would almost as soun want their meals) because some supercilious hirling refuses to The question arises here, who is to blame for these oft repeated irreg- clusively that either the distributing office at Whitby 13 negligent in not James Holden, Managing Director of all the railways from Whitby to of the scrvice he owes to the public and for which the public pay him, to is ly investigated and the annoyance aboard with all the promptitude possible and Holden ought not' to the 'criminal prosecution at the instance of Senator Simpson against, the late publisher of the West Durham News for publishing in his paper that Mr. Simpson had bought up certain mem- bers of parliament. The publisher failed to sustain his charge and was tound guilty of the crime of libel. -- But the grit slieets and the GHobe at the head of them are seeking to so mystify tho verdict as to make it appear that the issue was on the "big push" while the fact is that the triul had no more todo with the "big push' letter than it had with Sitting Bull's magnificent snubbing of the United States. No! that now celebrated "big push" letter will vo. main a standing disgrace to Can- adian clear grit politics so long asa single thread of politieal . morality exists in the land. Not all the courts under heaven could bring in a verdict of "nou politically guilty" as to the father and sponcers of that big push letter. Tt will standing reproach remain a along side of "como along John, we have plenty of money, and help us to put down bribery and corruption" and such elevating and disinterested com- munications. George Brown and his worshipers will be answerahle for the big push letter and its con- sequences until tho last Grit shall have been converted from the error of his ways. Our Grain Markets. The wretchedly low prices offered for Barley this season and the unsatisfactory prices offered for Wheat have thrown a damper on our grain markets for the past few wecks. The Manchester Market las Mr. Christian's liberal buyer is now so well known and so thoroughly es- not been so much affected. reputation as a first-class, tablished that farmers will go a long way to let him have their proance being confident that they will receive the very highest cent the market will warrant and full and honor. able weight. The conscquence is that a very large qnantity of grain has already found its way to Manchester Market, Port Perry has long been a favorite market, and farmers have come long dis- tances as well to purchase their commodi- ties as to scll their produce, As a market for the purchase of Dry Goods, Groceries, Boots and Shoes, Harness, Cabinet-ware Hardware, Jewelry, or in fact anything re- quired in a family or round a farm, Port Perry is not excelled by any place in the Province, and it ofters cvery inducement and makes it profitable for parties to come long distances to do their trading at the Port. Notwithstanding that the Port Perry grain market has so far this season licen deprived of its best buyers, Messrs. Currie and Ross being as yet the only two in the field, large quantities have already Leen se- cured, Doubtless others will come in as the season advances when the market will again assume all its former activity and offers such inducements as bring farmers from a distance. But even as itis large quantitics of grain has already been deliver- ed at Port Perry since the season set in. A New Enterprise. In consequence of the inferior quaiity of the late barley crop in Britain an attempt bas lately been made by some of our more enterprising grain buyers to place Canadian barley on the British market and with this view large quantities are being shipped from Toronto, Hamilton and from our South Ontario Liverpool. The venture appears to be successful if one is to judge from the in- creased activity and upward tendency of the barley market, in New York and Chicago. If this enterprise prove successful a8 we hope it may, it will give an additional Lack bone to our barley market not only in the present but in future scasons, I --eer. A New Slaughter House.

An interesting Soiree under the auspices of the Port Perry Presbyterian church was held in the town hall; Port Perry on the evening of Tuesday 30th ult, and proved a magnificent success especially financially, -- The weather being particularly fav- orable with everything else contributed to the success of the occasion, Tea was serv. ed in the basement of the hall and those who were not crowded out speak in warm ladies to entertain their guests in a manner | worthy of the intelligence of the fair enter- tainers. After tea the whole company assembled in the body of the ball which was filled up with an intelligent, cheerful, expectant as- semblage, Rev. Mr. Douglas, the worthy pastor of the Presbyterian church, ascended the platform and having got matters arranged of music, and they responded in good style. The hopes of that large assemblage were now raised high ; and the magnificent piece just given bylthelchoirksecured full confidence in the reception of a rich musical treat while the staff of speakers was composed of such material as raised the expectations high as to the speaking department. So here we were over four hundred strong, brim full of expectation--we had almost said delight-- comfortably seated in one of the finest, com- mon-sense hallsin the province ; before us a numerous and choice choir whose first per. formance had given proof of their ability, while on the platform around the genial and and efficient chairman sat a staff of speakers whose reputation forbade the slightest mis- givings as to the certainty of a superior in. Rev. Mr. White of the Baptist church, Port Perry, was first called, but being a villager he natuvally declined the honor of speaking. The next to take the stand was Rev Mr.Silcocks of Stoufville; but he only apologized and retired. Thus tellectual treat, the speaking staff was rapidly melting away aud the yawning intellectual appetites had vot yet got a nibble. The Rev, Mr, ing of Uxbridge was now brought on, but Brown- his somewhat playfal manuer proved that he too was only covering his retreat, The speaker of the evening, Rev. D. J. McDonnell B. D., of St. Andrew's church, Toronto, was now suitably introduced by the chairman and got a hearty reception from the audience. All were now on tip.toe to hear what the subject of lecture was to be, and many felt disappointed on learning that the Rev. gentleman had wo intention to give a lecture then, and that he meant only to speak for a short time on a subject which he considered suitable for the occasion "The Model This brought some of us back considerably, Family." announcement took the wind ont of us and damped our ardor somewhat. We have had so many "models" of late and all of them to say the least of it have proved expensive failures, mitigated humbugs; as ow!modcl Republic, our "Model Farm," our "Model Schools" and we certain ly had some misgivings as to the 'Model Family." However the Rev. understood his things and gave a varicty of useful hints, which all would do well to 'heed. So that the "Model Family" c#not be clissificd gentleman subject, raid many good with the other models to which we have re- ferred, The choir performed well and did their able instructor and themselves much credit- The supply was both generous and good, and altogether the evening was spent in an agreeable, social and not unprofitable manner, The committee and congregation are much indebted to the community for their generous turn out on this occasion and desire to turn thanks for the same, Net proceeds, $87. - re- That Social.

Mr. Malouin consented to staud and there the matter rested. Now, however. that Laurier is thrown on public charity, witness the course that he and his friends sre taking.

The two waited but some of them it fairly in the village till it was past all reasonable time when the horse, the wiser of the two, finding that he could not induce his master to take it cool and gp home, walked home with- out him and arrived safely at his stable a hungry and a sad horse, sorrowing over the weakness of his master ands dreading tha shock on his nervous system. The horse from this time forward goes into bitter op. position and the owner if he survive the shock will likely become neutral. ------ Let the Hogs come Forward.
