The young folks of Prince Albert wisely prefer to hate the ceremony' performed. in public, and thus call all to witness their plighted vows, It had recently been whispered throughout the village that the Res. 8. A. Arkols, the' worthy and es- teemed pastor of the C. M. church, Prince Albert, had won the heart and hand of a highly accomplished, amiable young lady ot that village, Miss Josephine, second daughter of Jacob Bongard, Esq. The villagers 'yere on lip-toe awaiting the event, and when it became known that it was to take place m the C. M. church on the ahern of Tuesday, 1st inst., n thoroughly filled ohurch ereetod the event and testified by their presence the high estimution in which the parties are held by the public. It would be difficult to find uny where else in the Province a finer or more intelligent looking company of young ladies and young men than wore gathered here on this oceasion---most of those present were young and single. As tho time approached the Rev. C. S. Philp, Sen., who was selected to perform the ceremony, sented himself before the altar with his twod assistants, Rev. Mp. Madden and Rev, Mr. Richardson seated beside him. . All waited patiently for the. approach of the bridal party. Presently the argan peals forth tho happy wedding march; tho doors are flung open and the groom attended by his goom's men, Rov. J. H. George, B.A., pastor of the Port Perry zirenit of the M. E. church, and Mr, Charles Taylor, of Oshawa, wilked up the aisle to the left of the altar while the brideleaning on the arm of hor futher and attena- od by her bride's maids, Miss Cots- worth, of Toronto, and Miss Ellen Meghorn, of Prince Albert, walked up the aislo to the right. The parties stepped in front of the altar and the Rev. Gentlemen proceeded with the interesting and appropriate cere- mony to which all present gave caro- ful attention, while the judicious and intelligent bearing of the group in front of tho altar contributed to- waris rendering the ogeasion more attractive, . Not having stadied the art of dress making or millinery we are not competent to describe the dry goods of the ladies, but wo know that we have the corrobora- tion of all present when we state that all were in excellent taste and appeared to much advantage phy- sically and intellectually. The cere- mony completed and the happy couple made one for life, the hearty congratulations of hosts of friends cannot fail in being pleasing lo all concerned. We only echo the sentiments of all who have the pleasure of their acquaintance, when we wish them a long, happy and profitable life to- gether. : In bidding adien to this pleasing scene we would ray 'to all those now trembling on the brink of matrimony, Go and do likewise! rer---- COUNTY COUNCIL. In our last we gave nothing of the ~pro- ceedings of the present session of the Connty Council, the fact is there was precious little {0 give. The first day was spent in the lcttery of electing a Warden, and we think the great- est sticklers for waste 'of time pure and slmplo will be satisfied that this farce is played out and demand a changd inthe mode of electing a Warden. Fhe appoint- ment of the standing committees ray be in_ teresting to the council and any further pro. ceedings on the first two days were more ornamental than usefal. The following is all we have space for in this isgne, we shall complete the report in our next. a THIRD DAY. T. 4 . 5 The Warden took the chair about 10 am.

But the recommendation to official suicide was past 911 bearing and hon. members not relishing the idea of diminishing their own numbers took kindly to the motion ot Mr, Smith, E. Whitby, who moved that the Committe urise, The motion carried und the Committee thus rising without a report burked the wholt proceedings ax far as that committee was concerned. The report cers tainly deserved a better tate and it is diffi- cuitito surmise why it was killed so uncere-, moniously, Members of County Council might not relish the several suggestions but an overwhelming majority of the rates payers:of the" County would endores every one of them. Mr. I J. Gould gave notice that he will on to-morrow move to change the mode of electing Wardens for this County. Mr. Smith, E. Whitby, introduced and, carried through its first reading a by-law to appoint two wnembers of tho board of audit. A Mr. Graham introduced and carried through its first reading a by-law to appoint County Viluators and fix their salaries. The Council having been in session an hour and a half, on motion of Mr. Bickell, the Warden left the chair til 2 p.m. Council resumed, On motion of I. J, Gould, the Council went into committee of the whole on the communication of A D. Weuks, J.P, regani- ing certain charges by one Crawford, a con- stable for services and expenses connected with the apprehension and bringing to prison of a party alleged to have stolen a team, light wagou and harness. Tue Auditors of Criminal Justice accounts Lad rejected a large portion of the account as charges were made for travel which the board considered had been taken without reason, charges for help were also added to the bill. The constable demurred and the J. P. memorialized the council on behalf of the constable. Mr IJ Gould took the memor- ial un ler his protection, Mr, Wright, one of the bovrd of Audit, explained to the com- mittee the reason why the account was docked; be showed that the constable had been allowed for all his services and outlay afters bis taking the prisoner but the board considered that he had traveled un. necessarily in following up the prisoner and only reduced the account by the amount they considered as unreasonable charges -- I'he board had also dudncted the amount snid to have been paid to assistants, as suid assistants may call on the county for pay. On motion the committee arose withont report so that the whole thing fell through Mr 1J Gould moves for a report from the connmissioners of Sengog Bridge, giving all necessary details as to the progress of the work, the amount paid, the amovnt yet to ay, &e. Mr Wright is somewhat surprised at the motion of the Reeve of Uxbridge Village sec- ing that the information asked for was fur- nisted in June last and the council all knew the amount of the contract. while the strict watchfulness of the commissioneis isa guar- antee for the quality of the work, and all knowing anything of the work done speak' in the highest praise of the quality of the work. The job is now nearly camplctéd buf the commissioners cousidered if better not to accept the work tilafter tlgxpring so that should anything go wrong such as settl- ing or any other defect which might manifest itself, when the contiactor would have to repair any part requiring such, The con- tract price except $500 has been paid over-- the $500 is kept until the work is complet ed. Mr Gould said he had supposed that it would not be nccessury to move for such in- formation as he expected that the information would have been tabled without asking for itotherwise he would have asied eatlivr in the session. There isa very large outlay involved and he considered the ratepayers of the county. had a perfect right to be furaish- ed with a full report of the entire matter, "Mr. Wright aid that he had nn idea that such a regu-st should be wade at this time serving that the information had already been furnished and he had no means of furnishing the information unless he should go home for it and he will not do that, 5 Mr. Rowland considers that such a report as Mr. Wright can make without going home for piculass would be satisfactory to the Council, and when the work has been completed a full report will be expected. Mr. Cunningham considers that such a report should certainly be brouglit down in proper form so that the ratepiyeis may know how the worz is progressing, what the entire cost will be, the quality of the work and whether people are getting value for their money as the cost is to be so very much more than the Council were led to ex- pect.

The Warden took thd chair at 11 a.m. The minutes of the previous mecting were read and approved Mr, Higgl 8 was heard before the council regarding fis tenaergfor the conoty prititing and was somewhat, severe on ose Aho svemed todnsinuate thathe had tendered with a knowledge of the amounts of he other tenders, and asks if it is a likely thing that he who has for the past twenty-five years been connected with this coaacil is now going to attempt anything so contempt ible, He fully expluins how it was that ho came to put in a teader on Thursday moru- ing. Mr. Wrizht moves that the several com- munications placed in the hands of th Finance Committee and reported on the pre- vious day be placed in the hmuds of a com- mitte consisting of five metnbers to be report- ed on during the present session. Mr, Larke said he was a little surprised at the action taken by Mr, Wright after sisting by his vote yesterday to Kill of the report of the finance committee which com- mittee had a special report on the communic- ations embraced in Mr Wright's motion. Mr. Mothersill asked how Mr. Wright action was to be accounted for, in movin. for a specinl committee to go over thu ram. ground which Lad been gone over by to finance commitiee = yesterday whose report Mr. Wright had assisted in rejecting. Alr, Rowland rises to a point of or er, he says a report on the same matters as Mr Wright now moves for a special committee to consider was refused by this House yester- day and he [Mi. Rowland] does not belicve it competent forthe council to deal with these matters during the present session. Mr. Cunningham fel much surprised at the action taken by the committee which tad this matter in band yesterday when be gaw gome members of that committee as- sisting in dofeating thuir own report by vot- ing that the committee arise. For his own proceeding for Commissioners appointed by this Council to supurintent the expenditure of so large an amount of money of the County and that these commissioners shoula refuse to bring down a full and accurate re- port of everything connected with the ex- penditore, but what will the County $hink when they learn that when this Council asks for such a report that one of the com missioners gis his baek np and tells the Council that be will not furnish a Report, * a Gould's motion was now pat and carri- ) Mr. McRae presented the petition of J Greigg in reference. t Tan sold for' taxes. r( ingham d the petition of Jas Doyle * On motion of Mr. McBae a & com~ inted to invest matters "ves wand, chaicman of, the Co He nto comin!

Mr. Bickel thinks there is little consist 'ancy iu the nction taken by Mr. Weight in applying for a commitee to report vn the same matter on which the finance i had reported yestérday and which report Mr. Wright assisted in silencing, Be is inclind to believe that if the Reeve of Port Perry had been on that c.mmittee the report would have met a better fate. Mr. 'Graham says it appesrs to him most absurd that usmeasure can by carried through this conneil unless certuin names be on the ittes dealing with thé measure, "1a © that 8 'he nd special grant of $760 a year now ench Celleginte Institute in the P which with the ordinary grant to all High Schools and Collegiate Insti tutes raises the grant of the latter to $1,200 a year which grants are considered unfair to ordinary High Schools.

Mr. Campbell was asked if the Whitby School as a Collegiate accomplished soy thing more than 1t did when only a High 241 School, Mr Rowland said he woald not oppose the grant coming te Whitby schol while others receive it, so long as tory complied with the law, Whitby had as much claim as any other, Mr, Larke says he is not opposed to Whitby getting the grant, it is much to the credit of Whitby to be inn positon: to claim the grant, but he opposes the principle and would recommend that the apportionment of these grants should be based on the qunatity and quality of the work performed. Mc Wright said that onr public achools had the first if not the sole claim to school grants, and it no farther school grants wee: made the conntry would have no cause of campluint ; itis both the dnty and 'interest of the community to provide n thorongh public xchuol education for all her children without distinction, and tree of cost; ana if such an education is secured all parties wish. ing to advance further can easily do so throngh their 0wD energy. If the system is to go on and suc jnducements are neld out to Collegiate Tustiint«s every High School in the Province will lad it to their interest to secure the requirements and take the rank of Colleviate Institutes and ret their nddi- tional $750 a year, But whiic grants are given to other than Public Sehon's they ought to to Le in proporticn to the qwlity and quantity ot the work dune. Me Canningham was surprised to hear Me Campbell insinuate that jealousy against Whitby induced partivs to rais: objection to specinl grants to Collegiate Institutes such in by no muans the fact for the whole Connty has reason to feel proud of the Whithy school, and so long as any other Colleg receives such grants Whitby has a p vight to it and will be p ahe grant with the others, Bit the priavi- ple is objectionavle and opposition to said principle comes with better grace' from a County like this where we bave a first-class Collegiate in onr midst we had none ; and Le considers that this conneil is bound in the interest of the people to seek a remedy. Mr Mothersill favors the view taken by the committee und will support the clause, Lhe clause was now put and on a division reeve and d. ree On motion for t ammittee to arise and report the report mt amendment. Mr Campbell moved that a clause be add. ad to the report granting $100 to vach Model School within the county, viz. Whitby and Port Penny.

Mr Campbell's motion was now put and declared lost, A grant of $50 was also tried aud declared Tost, Ou motion the committee arvse and fe ported the report.

A deputation came before the council re= eding a supply of County Magistrates' blanks and a supply of band=-cuff« for the use of constables, On motion of Mr Rowland the matter was placed in the hands of the committee on County Propurty &c. Mr Hoover introduced and carried thiough a by-law appointing a County Anditor ard confirmi ig the appointment of the Warden. In committee of the whol, Mr Ford in the chair, the blank was filled np with the name of 8 H Christian; the Warden appointed R H Lawder.

But it remained for Mr Wright to fully test the backl of hon, bors, hi brought them up standing between the horns of a dilemma, it they take hold of one horn the official existence of two out of every. three of them is not worth n yew's purchase and if to prolong their official existence | they take hold of the other horn they will offend every. intelligent ratepayer m tie] County and lose their seats for 'neglect of duty.
