ete? efor Y, JAN. 1, 1880.{ onday last was. a day of more than usual interest throughout this Province. That was the day on which the-electors wore privileged | to meet together in their svat] municipalities, talk over municipal | matters and place the men of their choice in the field ag candidates for the representation of the municipali ty; a selection which required con- siderable cautioo, as the trust com- mitted to municipal councils is of wuch greater weight than many people suppose; and not a little of the general comfort and order of a municipality depends upon the con- duct and good management of its municipal council. In an especial manner does tho management of all our public gatherings take its com- plexion from the management of the sessions of our councils. Tho nominations for Reach took place in the Town Hall, Manchester: Tho returning officer took the chair at noon, read the law bearing on the matter, and called for nominations. The business was a little slow at first but the electors soon got wakened up, and ere the hour was up twenty= three good men and true were on ihe list as nominees for the several posi. tions in the gift of the people, The hour for nominations being now passed, the returning officer read over the names requesting the parties to select tho positions they meant to hold or contest. All the nominees for the revveship. except Mr. Christie, the reeve of last year, resigned, and Mr. Christie was de~ clared elected to the position of reevo for the ensuing year. The pominees for the office of first depu- ty-reeve all withdrew except Mr. Dobson, the first deputy reeve of last year, and A, W. Ewers, these, of course, will have to contest tho position. All the nominees for the second deputy-reeveship withdrew except Mr. Barnett, who was conse- quently declared elected second de- puty-reeve. The nominees forthe off or witlidrew excep! 7" McFarlane, J. Morn, so that two of 3 ave to fall back. The returning officer now read the law bearing on the point, an- nouncing the candidates claiming a 'poll and th time and place for hold ing the elections, and thon invited the ngpting to appoint a chairman and withdrew.

Mr. Spinks has this time declined to accept of any position in the council and has for the present at least retired from the ranks with his municipal honors thick around him.
