link, and the new scheme by F. W.Glen, Esq. If ; first enn bo secured to pass through" this neighborhood or sec- 'of country a measure of aid "would be g d by the pali tos soncerved in proportion to the benefits likely to be derived, and till once something definite is known as to the route and the amounts likely to be sought from the municipalities - eoncerned it would not be wise in these localitivs to divert their atten- tion oe cripple ici resources by assisting loss important schemes, -- Something definite will ore long be knownq of theronle and requirements "of this grard scheme. Should it ¢ turn out that the Toronto & Ottawa is not to pass through this locality then the Port Ferry and Uxbridge link will doubile s come to tho front and claim the attention and encour- agement of the municipalities con- 'cerned, for such a link judicisugly placed through Reach would be of much importance to Reach, Port Parry and Uxbridge and also to every other municipality on the line of the Nipissing or of tho W. & ~P.P. road as such link would com- plote the connection north and south through this county. The third scheme is snggested by the W. P. P. & L. railway company who are anxious to extend their road from Manilla Station, Mariposa, in a * porth direction; that of course is their own look out, if they are ina position to exicnd their road and conceive that it will pay them to do so then wo say zo on! and if Mari- posa and municipalities trough' which the extension may other spass can infiacnee the direction of the route by a little help that is the business of the contracting partios, but 10 suppose that that Company will have the cheek to ask this coypty to grant them $20,000 or any other sum to enable them to in- ercase their profits by extending thar road woud be imposing a little 100 tat on ihe simplieity of the rate pavers, It would be quite as reason. able, und cren vwaers of our factories to demand a bonus because they wanted to ex- wir premises; the latter de- mand wonll even be more pardon- able because it is supposed that the factory received no previous grant, but the railway company have beon bonnsed and bolsicred on every hand and ouly swallowed the bonuses aud Jaoked for more. In every instance where they have had the chance they have been a little tricky. In the first instance they bought the thing for a songz. The first company were the parties who paid for the road and lost the whole investment : eirgu.nstances over which they had control forced them to relinquish claims for almost nothing.-- municipalities have bonused it to a satioty, until in fact any ordin- seLof men would have been to hold out their hands . The road is paying well 5 they got it for u baya- more 80, were the county should keep paying interest on $250,000 for all time to come, and $12,500 a year woull only pry the interest without paying a cent of "principal. "Of course when bonusos are given to spread over a certuin namber of years a sinking tand is provided for paying off the prin cipal within the time that the de- bentares have to run. In this case $10,000 4 year would have to be paid us a sinking fund and this with the interest Would amount to $22,500 the first year; $22,000 the socond 821,500 the third and so on 8500 less every year for the twenty five years which would ntount in all, principal and interest to 8112, 500--a luxuriously costly undertak- ing for this Oourty. Suppose that this was avoraged over the whole twentg-five Jontd thé annual pay- ments would bo $16,500, Of this sum at the present rate of nssess- ment Pickering would pay yearly $31,830; Brock would pay $2,060; Reach $2,056, and so on with other municipalities in propoition to their assessed values, Reach's portion of the whole $412- 500 would bo $51,560. This with the $26,600 which Reach has al. ready paid and the $11,000 which tho Company chisled us out of would muko the entire payment of the township of Reach to this famous road no lessa sum than $89,160 which would certainly be paying too much for the whistle, notwith- standing that it is a steam whistle. ------ A Municipal Millennium. The ominous silence which per- vades tho municipal camp is either the forerunner of a coming storm or an unhealthy indication of munici- pal indifference. The municipali ties of Reach and Port Porry are little accustomed to this milk and water sort of display, to tho credit of both municipalities it may be said that neither of them like to sce their memberstliding in on a greasy plank, they prefer-to- seo aspirants win their spurs, nothing is better ecilealated tosocure active; vigorous legislation and disturb any tendency which may creep in pointing in the direction of happy little families or municipal election campaigh at the commence- ings, than a rousing ment of each year. Candidates ure thus favored with opporturities of discussing the more pressing questions of Municipal Government and of investiguting the legislation Wo should fain hope that the time will never come of the past year. when municipal electors will slide into a groove and be willing at the close of 'the "year in (he genuine happy go easy style, to chime in the jog-trot, "0, yes! never mind! just lot them in again, they are well enough" No one would care even Lo accept the position of pound- keeper on so slim a recemmenda- Lion. Let us have a tussle, ee The Good Wark is Begun. " The Finance Committee of the London Council on Friday night pussed Ald: Sbar- man's resolution recommending a reduc tion of the Council from twenty-one alder- men to nine, andithe placing of the public works in the of rs," This is a move far'in the rightdi- rection and speaks well for the par. ties who introduced such a mea- sure. Why should not the Council of other cities 'and towns follow the ple? Why should not every municipality in the Province getup s | petitions in time for the assembling of the local House prayiog to have the ded that : 2 thio pusivion of Deputy Reeve shall be done away wi ith and that in futore y shall 'send more ntative to the | with 1t tho pecular privileges of Ladies, Myirtyaare daye more. a 1880 will havo passed away and leap year, and not again till 1884 will the fairones enjoy the nndisput- ed right of saying when it shall be.

Since our last the 1 Hop Bitters sculling tournament hes taken place and a series of There were to have been in all sixteen compet- splendid races have been the result, itors in this tournament but Haulan slipped out ot it ete the trinls came ou so that there were only fifteen competitors and the com- mittee arranged them as follows, they were divided into four races, four in the three first and three in the last These races were all rowed on Thursday last, 18th inst, the following are the names of the parties in The first race should be between Laycock, Elliott, Howden and Tarryer, the first an Australian and the other three Britishers. Laycock came in first and Elliott second, the other two were thrown out, The second face was between Riley, Ross, Logan and Feeley, a Canadian, an American each race, and two Englishmen. first with Riley second, The two Britishers Ross came in a good were thrown out. The third race was between Warren Smith, Hosmer, Gibson and Anderson, a Canadian, Smith came in first and Hosmer second. The two Britishers were thrown out, between Trickett, Trickett came in an American and two Britishers, The fourth race was Nicholson, and Clasper, first and Nicholson second, Now the first and second in each race fhould nuw cotera race to weed out four more. The second series of races was rowed 10th inst. eight comperitors, two races of four each. -- The first was between Ross, Riley, Nichol. son and Hosmer, on Friday, There were now Ross came in first, Hos- mer gecond. The second race was between Laycock Smith, Trickett, snd Howdon, came in first and Smith second. Laycocok So that the grand race for the money was thus between Laycock, Ross, Hosmer and Smith. That wasrowed on Saturday, the 20th, Laycock came in a splendid first, Ross second, Hos- mer third abd Smith fourth, purse was $5,000, Of this sum Laycock got $2,500 ; Ress $1,500, Hosmer $600 and Smith $400. Laycock his done some splendid work The whole during his stay in England, he bas so far beat everything that came before him and won a lot of money. He beat Blackburn, Hosmer, und Riley one after another and made some three or four thonsand dollars in the transaction. Howden challenged him bit paid him a forfeit of $125 to get ont of it; and now his easy victories one after another in the trial matches and crowning all by his splendid victory in the Hop Bitters contest proves Laycock to be a very superior man, He bore his victories like a gentleman neither making a fool of himself or trying to make a fool of others, attemp'ing nomonkey tricks nor seeking to crow over an opponent As might be expected Laycock has challeng- ed Hanlan but the latter won't accept but on conditions impossible to be complied with. Laycock challenged Hanlan to row him for $1000, the Sportsman's Cupand the Champ- ship of the World any time before the fifth of December but the latter retused, Trickett is to row Ross on Monday, 29th inst. An Agrecabie Burpris. Mr. Joseph Todd, "ur, Bigelow's book- keeper, got a most agreeable surprise on Friday Inst. Just at noon of that day some ix or eight fine rigs come driving into Port Perry closely following each other and met Mr. Todd right on the street on his way to dinner. The parties in the first rig saluted him and to his surprise here were a brother and a nephew of his own, the vext rig cone tained another brother and cousin, the nest two mote brothers, next two more cousins | andso orf till Be surrounded by four brothers, five cousins snd a nephew or two* 'This was indeed an unexpected but a most agreeable and happy mieeiing. Tne whole cowpany drew up at the Mansion House where in compliance with previous tele- graphic instructions a fine dinner was pre- pared and awaiting the visitors who with a few favitd friends of whom wehad the honor to be one, were soon seated around Mr. Waters' hospitable board.

It will bo observed from Mr. Bigelow's advertisement clse where in this issue that his prepared to pay the higehst price for any quantity of saw logs of Maple, Baswood, Ash, Elm, Ouk, and Birch. He has new forty men employed in Cart. wright taking out logs for him. He is doing much good in that gumrter by employ ing many Lands and circulating quite an amount of money in the locality. Tea and The tea and lecture which took place in tHe Town Hall here on Friday evening last, under the auspices of the M. E. church, proved a most emphatic success socially, in- tellectually and financially, The ladies entertained their guests to an enjoyable tea--and here we way remuck tut the teas are always enjoyable in his connection as well for the get np us the friendly, kindly feelings dis. played Ly the entertainers with a genera] affability to all comers, After ten the company returned to the hail and the sight was an agreeable on, that fine large ball was filled in every part. Rev, Mr. George, the worthy pastor of the church, called Rev. Mr. AlLbs, Presiding Elder of the district, to preside over the pro- ceedings. The chairman now gave ont a hymn and called on Rev. Mr. Crogier to lead in prayer The ministerial element was numerousiy represented, On the platform were the Revd's Carey, Abbs, Richardson, Crozier, Allin, Goff, Arkel, Simpson and George, the Inst two preferred siting in the seats. -- 'The other ministers of the loculity were un avoidubly snbsent. The chairman in a few neat and appro- priate remarks iatroduced the Rev. Dr Wild, the lecturer of the evening, who "on Lecture. ' | coming forward met a rousing reception, -- All conld see at a glance that the lecturer was thoroughly up in bis subject, he at once gained the full confilence of his audience who yielded up to his care and willingly followed him over that Egyptian land, on fits wonderful temples, tombs and montnments, the glory of the pastand marvel of the pres sent, indicators of the former greatness of that once famous land. the school of the ancient "world, the cradle and nursery of science and the arts; that land whose won- derful history is written in its many magni- ficent monuments and majestic ruins. Our eloquent guide now brought us to th banks of the grand old Nile and by a few touches of his masterly description laid bea fore us many of the qualities and advantages of that famous river, We were then brought up before the chief subject of the lecture the "Stone Miracle" the largest of Egvptian Pyramids, the greatest structure in the world, the marvel of the nations -- But it waa neither for its amazing size, the perfection of the workmanship nor the qual- ity of the material that the speaker sup. ported its pretensions to the miracu'ous, but on the marvelous manifestation of perfec tion of Mechanical, Geometrical and Astron. omical science con bined in its construc. tion, Here the eponker struck out on tie sublime giving figures and calculations thrillingly interesting especlally to those accustomed to figures ; but to attempt to orowd his figures and calculations 'into a short newspaper notice would confuse the subject, be ani injustice to the Jecturer and be entirely unsatistactory to the readers -- Parties wishing to know anythivg of the lecture must hear the Dr, or read his lecture infoll, Ttis notat all unlikely that the people of this locality may be favored by another visit from the Dr. cre long. A hearty vote of thanks moved by Rev. Mr. Carey, and seconded by Rev. Muy Prosser met a rousing reception from the entire audience. 5 -- tee A Deservedly Popular Entertair- ment . themselves gazing The community at f Inrge will be pleased to learn that the students of our High School intend giving ao Exhibition in the Town Hall on Friday Dec. 17th The marked in. telligence and superior training of the stud. ents are a sufficient guarantee for the xo 1gnce of the Performance ; and the objec. which the proceeds are to be app reading room of the Literary Soviet High Sebepl--will mest the approbation af ee -- --eeee een.

This alone would be a great benefit to the county, as the day ishot far distant when again have recipro- cal trade relations with the United States, Wa ust OVERLOOK THE ¥ACT THAT IN A FEW YEARS THE TRADE OF THE Nonrm-Wst WILL DE MORE IMPORTANT TO THE MANUFACY- URERS ¥ ONTARIO THAN THE ENTIRE TRADE OF THIS Province; so rar MANOPACTORIES LOCAT- ED AT WHITBY, Port Penny, OR OTHER POINTS ON THE LINE OF THE ROAD, WILL HE INAS GOOD (OR BETTER) A POSITION 70 FOR of securing and porting the immi; who are to occupy und cultivate the millions of acres of arable land, will require a very laige expenditure for many years to come. The Government of Ontario bas granted a bonus of $8,000, per mile to aid in the con- struction of the Ontario Pacific Junction Railway, from Gravenhurst to Lake Nipisa- ing, there to. connect with the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canada Central Railway. It will probably be called npon to grant a million more to aid in building a railway from Lake Nipissing to Sault Ste Marie. At the Sault the ¢horm- ous trade of Lake Superior will be intercept- ed and, great as it now is, will yet incréase ten-fold. There, also, connections will be made with lines of railway to be built from Daluth, 8t. Paul, and sowe point on the Northern Pacific Railway. Who can estimate the value of the traffic which will low over this route to and from the senbonrd, when the states and territories of Michigan, Wisconxin, Minnesota, Town Oregon, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wyom. ing and Washington are all as thickly settl- wl as our county, and our own great North- West has a much larger population than the Dominion has now--which will probably be accomplirhed within the life time of our children? Besides the Government grants and expenditures, an enormous amount of private capital has been, and will be invest- vd, to develop the trade with the North- west. The cost of th greater portion of this andertaking falls the Provinee of ontwio, and uo small amount upon this Connty. The fact that such men as Donald A. Smith George Stephen, R. /B. Angus, Duncan Mce- Intyre, and Senator Cochrane are the chive members of the Canadian Syndicate, and art willing to undertake the construction of the canada Pacific Railway, clicfly for the Lan subsidy, is of itselt a gnarantee that nothing will be left undone to render the lands immediately valuable, and that gigantic «floits will be put forth by them to induce immigration on a large scale, tion seenred, the must follow, upon 'I'he popula- large anticipated trad And tuat this trade must flow castward--either by the main line to Nip- i g or by the Thunder Buy Branch by water to Sault Ste Marie, ~is a foregone conclusion, . The money will be lost to ns, nuless we take advanatge of onr position to develope the enormons trade which will spring up with the North and North West, What shall we doin this County to reconp and the important question. The first step, it appears to me is to secu'e the extension of the Port Whitby, Port Porry & Lindsay Railway, from Manilla direct to Gravenhurst. This will give us the shortest and most direct ront from Lake Ontario to the Canada Pacific at Lake Nipissing ;--as the condition npon which the Ontario Gov- ernment aids the construction "of the On- tario and Pacific Junction Hailway is, that all Ontario railway lines connecting with the Pacific Junction shall. bave running powers over it. The distance from Lak. Nipissing to Toronto via Whithy, will be less than trom Nipissing to Toronto by the Northern Railway; the distance from Lake Port Perry Railway, will be thirty-six miles less than by the Northern Ruilwny, For thisreason, the Hamilton & North. Western land Nortliera Railway Cos, now under the tonal hi ourselves for otir portion of the ontlay ? is]. Nipissing to Luke Ontario, gia the Whithy &: THAN IP AT TORONTO, OR ANY OTHER PLACE IN ONTARIO, AS THEY WILL HAVE THE BHORTEST | N) MOST DIRECT RAILWAY CAMMUNIOA- TION WITH THE NORTH-WE<T AS WELL 48 Win THE LUMBER PRODUCING SECTIONS OF Tiii Dosin- 108 To Whitby the advantages wonld be im- imense, increasing the trade of its harbor as well as the traffic of the railway, and opening avery largs back country to its merchants and manufacturers; And, I verily believe, it would have a batter basis for becoming a city, of ten or fifteen thousand inhabitants, than either Pelleville, Brantford or Guelph bad a few yenrs ago. The growth of Whitby wonld be directly beneficial to the townships of Whithy and Pickering, and conld in nowise be injurious to the town of Ushawa, but rathera benefis. The township of Pickering would also be benefited br having direct access to the lumber districts of the North, from whence in future it mast obtain its supply of lumber. The value of the mineral deposits of the country to the north of us is very great, be- yond doubt, and must at no distant day, give employment to a Inrge population who will naturally obtain their supplies from this section, as well as those engaged in the lumber trade. The proposed extension opens to Whithy and Oshawa, access to the country north of ns, by rail for over tw hundred miles, and by water mote--extends ing our market in Ontario north a greater distance than from here to Montreal, or Windsor The northern part of the connry would be greatly benefitted by having direct communication with the markets of the front towns, The trade of the north, properly tribntary to this section, is now being diverted to Toronto, Port Hope, Ottawa, and Monteeal ; and if we do not act promptly tay bé lost to ns forever, The construction of the Canad: Central, Canada Pacific, and Sault Ste Marie railways, will very much change the commercial map of Ontario. The chief mari et for our manufactures, within a few years, will be North, North wes: and North-east, and nol, as heretofore, West and South of Toronto. There isa company owniniz large deposits of lead ore. mixed with silver, on the Unper Ottawa, who a:e ready, as 8007 as the Ontario Pacific Junction Railway is completed to Lal e Nipissing, to aid in building a branch to the Ottawa River, so that they may he akle to <hip their ores by this route to Wyandolte, near Detriot, for redietion. The north must obtain its supplies of fruit, (of which in a few years we shall have 1 very large surplus) from the sombern towasszhips, Direct communication with the north will increase 'lie annual ¥alue of the appie cop alone, of the three front townships, by at least the amount ofiuterest on a sum suffici- ent to secure the construction of 'the read to Gravenhurst. The supply of firewood is nlso a very important question for the front town- ships, which will be satisfactorily settled by the extension of the railway for many years to come, not only for the consumers but for those of the north who have wood to sell. -- The decrease in the cost of fuel and lumber for the consumers of Pickering, Whitby, West Whitby, East Whithy and Oshawa, will more than pay the interest on the bonus, which would be expected from the county. Very many of the leading men of the conaty have seen canse to regret that the advice of the late Peter Perry, and of Abraham Fare- well, and tle railway men of that day, was not taken and a railway built fram Whitby through the county to Georgian Bay, many years ago We all sce plain'y enongh now the mistake then made. We have, however, an P dly favorable opportunity to re sme management, are j onr action in this county. The distance from Lake Nipissing to Lake Ontario will be some twenty-one miles lens, in a direct line through the county of Une tario, than by the Midlund Railway, and ther fore the Midland Co. are equally solicit- ous about what we are going to do with re- spect to the exte 'sion of our milway to Gravenhurst. The people of Belleville, anions to obtftn a portioa of the tiads which will low over the Canadian Pacific and Sault Ste, Marie Railways are pushing foeward the Grand Junction, so us to divert a portion of it to their city. Mr. Cox, the President of the Midland Ry.
