© wineial legislation nt one titth of the ONLY ONE A YBAR, JAMES BAIED, + - - Naito PORT PERKY, DEC. 12, 1578 Settled Now that the Mackenzie Govern- ment and party ure passed sud gone forever, since they have almost bo- some extinct and consed to disturb tiie course of ovenls the minds of the electors appear 0 be turned in the proper cuauuel and ahi lve settled down to wok tor Lhe weitare of the country, Counservaiives, Liberals, Reformers uppeur ail de- wrmined to Work harmoniously tor te general good and while some ot them maght prefer buving a somo what diferent regime they have sense enough to bow to the inevite ubie, and it they cannot get all they wouid like they siwrive 0 muke the best of what they have. Tuere uve stil a few obstructiduists, a lew sore bends who ure moaning them- selves sick over tue departure of the Muckenzie flosh pots and howling pileously over 'their permanent dawntall; but even lbese yout become rewsonab e unl tun in and help to push the best interesis of tue country. The general movement now is in the right dirkction ana tne united voice of tie people demand un immediate abandonment of the was eful extravagance of the lute government combined with a xy stem of legislation which will bear on and tend to revive the depressed and drooping energies of the country. -- The reform is just stir ing in the proper quarter, just exactly where it should commence, 1n reducing tho unwieldy crowas of placemen whom Mackenzie, Mowat, & Co. . have acked into every nook and coroer in the lund, creat g an unnocessar, bill of expense for (he taxpayers to moet. Tue numbers of our village councilors are all right enough, five members do not by any means ap- pear un unwieldy bourd ; but when we come 10 owns and cities the crowding begins and in piace of five as in townships, the numbers begin to double und contusion sels in. -- Here we unre pleased to observe that & determined effort is being set on foot Lo care the evil by diminishing the numbers ot town und city coun cilors. This reform is originating in the proper quarier in cies and towns and a serious effort is being made to kecuare the legisintion nec- essary to effect the objectaimednt, a vast reduction ot Aldermen. -- This will be a decided improvement, the business will Le done in half the ume and twice as weil. The next step in the direction of economy aud efficient leginlation is a reduc- tion iu the members of onr County Counvils ; this is a sine qua non to the efficient and economical man agement of our Coumy atfiirs,-- What under heaven can be the object of sending first, recond, third, &c, &e. or any deputy reeve to the county conneil ? it certainly appears a mystery unless it may be to retard and confuse county degisiution nnd render it four or five times more oxpensive than it should be, Why in creation should we send between thirty and forty men to our county council when ten or a dozen would do the business so much sooner, in every way better and at one tifih of the expense. Were it no supremely ludicrous 1t would be a subject for serious consideration to ses some thirty-three full grown men sitting around the council board looking as wike as owls and waiting till some thing turn up to relieve the tedium. The crowd assembles on the fourth Tuesday in January and the only basiness oxpected to be done on that day is the election of a Warden, -- For this feat enh member receives $2 and with it the propmtion of mileage, &e., it costs the county about $100 to elect its Warden.--- * And the evening and the morning are the first day " The second day members ~lip down to the chamber | about 10 4. m.ans wer to their names and learn what eommittees they are 'on, move an adjournment till the following day, march back to town, *" und the evening and the morning are the second day." Uo» the hill and down again is repeated with little variation tll Friday morning when the business of the session commences and rushos on pell mell, | haphazard through the torm in order to get home by the lust train on Saturday ; and those who cannot #0 get home receive pay for Sunday and Monday following. Thus some thirty-three otherwise useful men Rave been dancing around the county town fora whole blessed week nt $2 a day, ten cents a mile for traveling expenses und all the other paraphernalia of a "min- intare legislature while one fourth of the number could do the work in- finitely better, in half the time and at one Gfth of the expense Reform in this direction is urgently demand: ed and so soon as this is effected the | scalpel must be applied to the Local | Legislature. Let their numbers be! reduced to one third of whut they now are and thos secure better pro expense which it now costs the country. But till once wo huve re- formed our counties councils we cannot with good grace begin to nibble at our local legislatnre, 01 course penple who relish high taxes, whb prefer paying two or lr EL Hoth Butavio Ferber \ | possensés many advantages over all (other heating stoves and one of its [important advantages is that it will diffuse more beat with tho same |quanuty of wood than any other slove now in use. i This stove bus many, superior ad- | vantages which cannot well be de- { scribed und must be seen to be fully appreciated. Itis handsome, duru- bie und not costly, ts dampers are 80 constructed and arranged as to "buve full control ot the direction and quantity of heat, and fire can be kept in the stove over night without uny addition of fuel just as well at ir a coul stove. The damper in the under flue forms a perfect ventilator keeping up a healthy current of air in the room carrying of the cold uir from near the floor and allowing the heated air to permeate over the whole appartment so that the heat may be nearly equal over the whole room, Asa wood saver it is just what is wanted, producing the greatest amount of heat ons the smillest consumption of wood, this stove will very soon save the cost of itself : quite a small stove of this sort with a very small consuniption of wood will comfortably heat two or three appartments and requires vastly less labor and attention than the ordinary stove. So that parties wishing to consult their own inter. ests in the matter of appearance, comfort, labor, economy and health will go to Mr. Brown's Stove and Tin Shop, Port Perry, and inspect this "Little Giant" and convince themselves that it is their duty to purchase. Fhe saving of wood alone ought to be enough to recom- mend it to universal favor. A Distinction with a Difference: In no other particular does the public | mind mnnifest so great a degree of gullibil- (ity as in the purchase of what they eat, drink, and ware; the general idea of low rices and cheapness have got so wraped in the public mind that low prices and | chenpness ure regarded as synonymous terms ; white nothing could possibly be further from the fact. So far is this from being a fact that these terms are frequently directly opposite. Low priced goyds are not un. frequently extravagantly.dear, In all our cities, towns, villages, &c. we have our regular merchants, parties who havea 1 standing in the local whose teal and personal property «contribute to the taxes und assist in keeping the municipal machivery moving ; men who have a reput- | ation to maintain for honor and fair dealing, | who cannot afford to sell goods at less than a living profit but who at the rami time in order to sustain a prosperous busin: ext, must sell such a quality of goods as will stand the test and at the lowest figure at which such goods can be furnished. ©n the other hund irresposible parties may choose to go around the country and pick up 'window watchers", "shop keepers," the | --and that is more than they are worth-- and bring them into some town or village amongst gitimate dealers and make a huriah over the "Great Arrivals |" "Fearful Shnughter iu Dry Goods, &¢," and seck to make people believe that hitherto they have peed tor, and really ofler goods at a price below that at which they can be purchased at reliable stores. The unthinking and more verdant part of the community not un- frequently get caught, the very low prices enpture them, they are seldom judges ot the qualitity of the goods but because the price is low they foolishly run away with the idea that the goods are cheap for getting that ev. that "very low" price is not untrequently far more than the goods are really worth and that the would-be low priced good are decidedly dear. Such goods in fact are often dear at any price. But suppose that good articles were brought into town by a wide wind and sold in some way at a cheaper rate than legitimate dealers can afford to sell such, who should buy them ? Not the farmer for ix not the legitimate dealer his best friend taking his farm products off his hand and giving him the highest price the market will warrant ; our farm products would be worth little but for onr merchants whe buy thew up and forward them to the consumers, It 1x not the interest of our workmen to patronize such for legitimate business is the ng of any community, goes far in 1g its public expenditure, keep the ipal machinery moving, and create work for the workmen. If communities wish to prosper they must deal with each other ina fair and honorable way aud do whatever is possible to bui'd up and consoli- date the general welbeing, Hurrah for Merry Christmas. We are pleased to learn that our M, E, Church friends here are preparing a fine entertainment for old and young on Ch.ist- was night--Wednesday 25th inst, The most attractive part of the evening's enter. tainmeut, especially for the young folks will be the * Christmas Tree," which is als | ready budding and blooming and will be prepared to yield lots of precious fruit on that night.

While this ent went will doubtless be particularly interest. ing and attractive to the young folks it can- not fail in pleasing and interesting the grown up people as well.

A glance at our advertising columns will reveal the fact that many parcels of valuable real estate are being offered for sale by auction, and the large number of parcels being so offered induce some to suppose that such property is depreciating in value, be- come nervous over it and are scared from bidding.

The Manchester December Fair was held on Wednesday 11th inst, and proved a somewhat lively time, the market was really good as far as the quantity and we may almost suy the quality of stock ofiered. There was a strong disposition on the part of sellers to part with their stock and buyers were willing to take but prices were not satisfactory ; buyers, however, had mat- ters much their own way, but while prices were not satisfactory they were no worse than those given in any other market in the | province fur the, same quality of stock, in fact the buyers attending the Manchester | fairs are as a whole neither stingy wor i tricky, they lean to the liberal side in their offers. 4 Prices ranged from $2 to $3.59 for Cattle and fair Ewes brought from §5 to $6. The excellent accommodations furnished at the Revere House tell favorably on these | Fairs, all that attend are comfortably ac- commodated, the tables dare spread in such a manner as would do credit to any hotel in the country, 'Fhe Mercantile interests were bein, pushed with additional spirit on account of the Fair, the lady friends taking the advant- age of coming in with their husbands, fathers or brothers and doing their shopping while these attcoded market affairs, Sr ------------ nn con Election of Officers.

The Assestor was called to explain the matter, He said that there were at least six or seven similar cases where parties were aseessed for dogs which do not appear on their slips and the reason is thut when he was taking the assessment false representa tions had been made to him in several in= stances in the matter of dogs, some who bad dogs denied that they had any and others who owned bitches said that they did vot (own such that they owoed dogs. | instance when he discovered or was inform- jed of the false representations he entered | the dog or bifch as the case might be, on the (roll and of course these were not em | the slips left, for they could not be so enter. {ed under the circumstances, but parties making such representations had nething to complain of as their misrepresentations } made them liable to a fine, Mr. Richmond came before the council claiming $10 in addition to what had al- ready Leen granted for taking care of a party who had had his leg broken within the corporation ; he said that he hardly ex. pected that the council would grant the amount but he could tell them that it should be paid as it was justly due to him and he bad no expectaion of ever getting it from the party, The Reeve called the attention of the council to a copy of a special Act about to be submitted to theOntario Legislature for a charter of incorpor- ation to enable a certain company to build carth-ways for the purpose of enabling the Company to drain a éertain portion of the drowned lands of Lake Scugog. He stated that he deemed it advisable to bring this matter up at this time so that this cor. poration may be in a position to defend itself and see that no undue advantage be taken in the charter applicd for, He cane not see what advantage the applicants ex- pect to secure «ven did thy obtain the charter ; bat if the matter be fair and above board and the company agree to grant the necessary guarsntees he did not see that the corporation would have auy interest in seeking to prevent the parties obtaining the charter sought for, but otherwise it will be our duty to oppose the obtaining of a charter, Mr Currie said he would be very willing that the parties would go on and construct their earth works, making them sufficient for roadway purposes and if certain provi sions and checks be inserted in the charter this corporation ought not to stand in the way of the granting of the charter. All that is necessary is to protect the interests of the corporation in the matter, The Clerk now read the report of the Sec. of the Port Perry Fire Company setting forth that the company had. had nine meetings during the year, six mectings at which their active services were not required and one fire which they had to fight. The Sec'y refers to the premptitude and efficiency of the company and considers that such is largely attributable to the harmony and and Kindly fecling existing amongst the members, The following is a list of members :-- On motion of Mr. Rolph the following in- digent orders were granted :--To Mrs Zwickey $7, Koster $5, and Demara §3 being their allowance for the present month The same to be charged to the poor fund. Mr, Clark Crandell made application for damages for two ewes and a lamb he had killed by dogs; he placed the value of the ewes at 86 each and $3 for the lamb, On motion of Mr. Dawes an order was granted for $10, being two-thirds of the loss as the law requires, A by-law appointing the polling places and returning officers for the coming mun- ul elections was duly passed, Mr, C, Mackenzie's office and the Town hall bring the places aud Mr. W.
