(See Posters.) - An Intellectual Victory. 'Wo are pleased to learn that our worthy young townsman, Mr. A. Courtice, has suc- * ceeded in carrying off the Gold Medal in ; Mental and Moral Science, Toronto x Uaiversity. There wero quite a num® ber of competitors worthy of his stech young men of good attainments, superior abilities and not lacking in diligence; but young Courtice was more than a "match for all of them coming out first in "every subject submitted. That the young 'man is possessed of first-class abilities, superior tact and indomitable perseverance "is beyond question and ho is in cvery way worthy of the unstinted praise bostowed upon him, but tho young maa is ready to acknowledge that the thorough training he received and the superior method of stady taught him at the Poit Perry High School were important factors in leading him to victory. The young man has obtained the degree of B. A, and all wish him the greatest suc- cess in a career commenced with so great promise. SE A New Outfit. 'The Ontario Bank, Port perry, has just un- durgone a thorough renovation and re-paint- ing ; bas been vastly improved in appear- ance and we are glad to know that the im- provement is by no means confined to the external appearance--though that is certain- Jy bandsome--for in its vital part, the man- agement, it never beforo since it had an ex- istance in this place, occupied so high a position in public estimation as now and deservedly so. . The Manager and his staff are all that could bo desired, If other branches and head quarters have improved as much in their management it is little wonder that the Ontario Bank should rise in importance and the stock command a much higher aud still rising figure. " Honest Billy" on the Turf. Mr. Kellett of this place, hus sold his favorite trotter « Honest Billy" to a couple of gentlemen in Rochestef, and most people here regret that he has left our town, but Mr, Kellott was well paid for him, $1,700 is mentioned as the price. Billy at the Spring Meoting at Rochester this week, showed his 1 ew masters what he could do and won for them a significant portion of the price they paid for him, The following will be interesting to Billy's many friends. In the 2:50 class for a purse of $100, Billy and five others came to the scratch, and six hotly contested heats of which Billy took tlireo m1 d was declared Lig winnor thus sdcuring first money, $200. But Billy's time was something extraordinary for him, he made the first wile in 2:20}, the second +i 2:30 and the sixth in 2:39, These are he heats which ho won. This is a fine re- «cord for Billy but like the boy who is ad- wanced a form at school he hasafterwards big- * ger boys to contend with, so Billy will have to look for higher gamo after this. 1f his "mew owners don't want to scll him they have lot him make too good a record. he will have to measure bimsclf amongst the 2:30 in future and will find it more difficult Billingrgate, above the atmos. oral assassinism and cowardly the dark; the slobbering scribble v {he heels under a nom de plume 'once be unmasked or the still more {ly editor who gives his columns ar bis "we" to tho moral assassin is aptly called ont.

The ladies of whom there was a large and interesting representation contributed very much towards securing the success of the celebration. They had a most enjoyable tea prepared for all and large numbers par= took of their generosity ; the excellence and goud tast of the spread were admired by all and tho general good nature and expressions of kindly feelings so univesally wanifosted are in a great measury to be attributed to the succoss of the ladies in their effortd So make the guests comfortable with an abundant supply of good things aud the cup which cheers but not inebrniates, That the warmest anifestations of kindly feelings should be manifest amongst the brethren of the order is only what might be expected as the natual out como of those secret aud fraternal ties which havedistinguished the members of the Order even in the darkest seasons and most dos) rate trials to which the order has been exposed and over which it has gloriously triumphed, > Alter a pleasent timo around tho social board tho company wis called off to enjoy the second part of tho feast--the intellectual.

Mr. King's motion on the desirability of granting a bonus of $20,000 from the County Sf Ontario to (te W. P.P. & L. R.Co'y dol extend their line from the Manilla station to Beaverton. The mover said he was making this motion at a venture he had never spoken to any of the railway authoritics on the matter and he had been told by no oue what the Co'y would do or if they would accept $20,000 and work out the completion of the extension but he would like to make the Co'y the offer. Mr. King then referred in glowing terms to what the result would bo if the link were put in, for one thing it would bind the county in an iron band and prevent that diviston which must ere long take place if the county remain as it docs now. . : { Mr. Bruce would like to hear Mr. Holden on the subject and as that gentleman is pre- sent it wonld be wise to hear him, i Mc. Brethour would like to hear something of the rote of this proposed link, Mr. Holden being now ealled mado a palaver over his not expecting any one to move for such a -grant, he had just dropped into the chamber accidently a purpose," but now that he liad the privilege ta @peak he would address the council as a railway man and a townsman, He now plungld ipto & railway sermon taking the Managing Direet- or of the W.P.P.&L.R. Co'y as his text. We need go no further for whoever has heard the Managing Director make ono railway speech will never wish to hear him make a second, and those who havo the patience to listed to a second will find it the same as all the rest beginning, filled up and ending with James Holden, Like the man's "bacon and greens" the everlasting big I is the sum total of the harrangue and oply varied in position. Had tho immortal James been the owner of the Bauk of Englaud and™ all its wealth he could not have talked more ly of the "paltry sum of $20,000." Mr. Holden's remarks as might be expect. «d fell flat on the council; the adverse dis* discrimination against Reach in the carriage of grain and the notorious pooling trick with the Midland did not tend to infuse confidence into James' audience, Mr. Mothersill is not much taken with certain unexplained features in this matter while Mr. King had stated that. he had not | consulted withanyone nor had the Company known anything of his Lringing "the matter up, still it very singularly happens that Mr. Holden just drop in on the nick of time to amplify (and one might also say mystify) Mr. King's remarks and that in' the most visionary way almost assuming that the traffic of that whole region of country would tg brought this way and this would be the yery route of the Pacific Railway ; he for one is strongly opposed to the grant, Mr. Dreflour would like to know what benefit the County would derive from the extension more Hunn it docs at present 7-- This scheme hag Lec™ Sprung on the people amd on the Council, noite of his constituents know anything of the proposed scheme and he for one would not support any such mo- tion until they have been consuitel at least, and let know what the scheme is. Were this bonus to be granted it woud be en- tailing a tux on the County for, the, nex twonty years, he considered that no represuut- ative whose tern of office is only for ony | year ought of his own option without the advice of his constituents lay a burden on them for twenty years, As a private in- dividual he would not say what he would do but he certainly would not give his con- sent to tax his constituents without their having had an oppcrtunity of giving or re- fusing theie sanction. Mr. Sharp went strongly for the scheme, he cannot see any possible objection to the extension and would vote for the grant not- withstanding the fact that Lis constituents! had not been consulted ; if his constituents do notexpect him to legislate independently as he conceives it to be to their good they ought not to send him there for that is the course he meant to pursue. The buildiog of thelink would bo of great advautage to the whole County and surely no one would refuse the paltry sum of $20,000; Le can't see why aay one can vote against it. Mr, Gillespie does not sympathise with the remarks of Mr. Brethour and thinks if the link had to pass by Sunderland that gentleman would not hesitate long in voting for it, but it cannot be expected to touch at every man's door; he(Gillespie) has more in- terest in Sunderland than in Cannington.-- How is it possible that constituents can be consulted on every measure that comes up, and what is the use of sending represent- atives unless they act on their own respon- sibity so long as they believed that they arc acting to the advantage of their constituents; and he would have no hesitancy in voting for this grait as he knew that he could soon convinoe his constituents that ft would be to their advantage that the link should be built. The great reduction in mileage in gerving Jurors, in Jurors' mileage, in mileage of County Council and othe:s would go far in saving to the County an amount equal to that paid for the link, and farther the con- struction of this link will be the means of uniting the County and preventing its being divided as it cestvinly will bo unless bound together more closely than it is now. Mr. Brethour says no representative would be justifiable in putting a debt upon his con. ith their nt. . 1 Mr. Cuningham approves of the conrse pursued by Mr. Brethour, he would not feel free in imposing a tax upon the vatepayers of the township till once they had been till they have had an opportunity - me way of giving expression to théir views on the matter, ho considers that some means ought to be adopted by which all important measures should in some way come before their constituents ere they were acted on by the council, he would now give no cxpres- sion as to his own views on the matter but under present circumstances; ho would cer- tainly vote against the grant. Ho was amused to hear Mr. Holden repeating over and over again "the paltry sum of $20,000" und even Mr, Sharp made use of he ae. expression "the paltry snd of $20, o expression does not come well from members of council who will haggle aod dispute and take up hours of the time of the Council discussing matters amounting toa few oents, Mr. Miller is amused at the course od by the representatives of Brock buf as they appear to azree todiffer they had bettor | sottle their own differefices, he finds, bow» ever, that he will have to oppose the motion.

AN This gave the matter its quictus for the time being. i This $20,000 grant wduld in twenty years cost the County $32,400 of which Pickering would have to pay about one-fifth, Brock one-eight and Reach about one-gight. - Mr. I. J. Gould brotight forward his mo- tion on the advisability of charging a fee from all candidates for the office of school teacher, io explained that very many went forward to these examinatiofis who should not go forward as they ate not pro- perly prepared of which the comparatively small number that obtained certificates A evidence and the large nuttibers going for- ward outailed ouite an expense on the County which the fe 80 charged would either help to defray or lessen the cost by keeping many back who now go forward when they stiould not. Mr, Brethour strongly opposed charging a fee, says every encouragoment ought to be given to those partics who press themselves forward with the view of making a living by school teaching but who may not be well able to afford to pay a fee for examination. Mr. Mothersil says something will have to bo done, as things now go almost every second man you weet is a school teacher and it will soon be that we wont have children enough to divide amongst them, On motivn the matter was referred to tho committee on Lducation. The Warden now read a palaver from some man Coburn making a moan over what ho supposed to bo some of the shortcomings of our ted School Inspector. Of course the whole thing was a farce but the greatest part of tho farce was the Warden reading the rubbish without authority, When the matter began to be handled Mr. Graliam; called attention to the fact that the whole tuing was out of order that it had no right to come before the council without being presented by atid on the responsibility of some membor of council, heread the law on the matter to show that their is really nothing bufors the council, Me, Bickell, admitted that the communic- ation 'should not have been read but when the council allowed it to be read it would only be just to tho Inspector that he be allowed to defend himself and ho (Bickel) would move the appointment of a special committee to whom the communation may be referted. A committue was appointed accordingly. Friday Moruing. The Warden took the ehairat 9.30. read and approved.

The committee disallowed Mr, May's claim of $40 for damages sustained through injury to his cattle in crossing the Scugog Bridge. On motion the council arose and reported the report without ammendment. Report -adopted and on motion of Mr. Rowland tho sevlral accounts were ordered to be paid. On motion the Warden left the chair till 1 o'clock, Mr. Burnett, in a few neat remarks com- plimented the Warden ou the satisfactory manner in which he haddischarged his duties as Warden and moved that $100 be paid him to defray disbursements &c. Mr. Bruce, gave notice that he would at the next session of this council mova for leave to introduce a by-law granting $20,000 from this county towards the extention of the W. P. P. & L. RB. from Manilla station to Beaverton, Afternoon. The Warden took the chair at 2: 30. A communication from Mr. Ormiston, wasread by the Warden setting fésth the numerous and important advantages of Model schools and praying the council for a grant for the same. Mr. Wright, brought in the report of the speeial committee appointed to consider and report on the matter in dispute between Judgo Darnell, and certain officers of the County. The Report fully protected the officers and was received and adopted by the Council but as the matter is destined to come before the public in another shape, in justice to all parties concerned we refrain at this stage, from carrying it further. Mr. Smith (E. Whitby) bought in the re- port of the Committee 'on Education aud Saver the Council into committee of the wi e. i The report recommends that Rev.

On motion of Mr, Gillespie, the clause re-! vs struck ont. | other declared the motion out of order and The clause disallowing any grant to Model Stlioold was now taken up, Mr. King moved that a grant of $60 be given to each Model School in the County. Mr. Wright advocated the claims of Model Schools to a grant from the County aud dwelt on their importance, - The Public School Inspector was now now heard and powerfully advocated the claims of these Schools in consideration of the great benefit they are conferring on the community in sending forth properly trained teachers.
