Such' will receive the appro- bation or reprobation of the people ss they have discharged their public duties efficiently or otherwise. But in either caso the late custodian of the trust has no prior claim to that of any uther worthy aspirant to the position for the coming year, It is high time that those pariies whom 'the public bonor with their confi- dence and suffrage for one year as in municipal councils, or four or five yeats as in our parliaments, should come (0 realize that when the term for which the trust was given ex- 'pires that thoy are then on a com. mon footing with all others, neither better nor worse than all other elig- ible candidates. It is the privilege and we had almost said, the duty of every man who considers bimselt capable of discharging the duties, who wants the position and is will- to devote the necessary time to such duties, to offer bimeelf as a candid ate for whatever position he desires. And in offering he is not offering himself against any one for no one bas the position for next year, the position is vacant and it is the pre- rogative of the electors, and the electors afone, to say who shall fill the places next year; but to talk of men who held the position the pre- vious year having a prior claim to that of a new aspirant to the same is unmitigated nonsense. New men coming out are mot coming out to ran against this man or that, they are simply asking the people to olect them to the postions to which they aspire, without the slightest regard to who may have beld it daring the past year or who may be seeking for it now.

It is simply the *_ worsi phase of u miserably small oliv= archy, an attempt to stifle a fair "oontesc and to load down the free ion of the electors, and liable to produge the greatest mischief and cover the greatest frauds.

Church friends, Port Perry and its surroundings were favored with an opportunity of hearing that talented and eloquent lecturer Dr. Wild deliver one of his most popular and interesting lectures, «The Prophet Jeremiah's Visit to Old Ire land." Atany time and under any circum- stances such a subject could not fail in ex- citing much curiosity an interest, bat at this time of Ireland's upheaval, land leagues, home rule, no rent, Ind courts, agrarian out- rages, imprisoned p landlords' defence funds, &c, dc, the interest is vastly increased as all wished to contrast the pre- sent condition of fair and fertile Erin with its condition at the time when the good old prophet frode its velvet lawns and admired ive charming secenery. 80 worthy a traveler as Jeremie with so gifted a chronicler as Dr. Wild could not il 0 proving wn attrac. tive combination, The evaring Was fairly pleasant but the roads were in stci. ® °08- dition that travel was next to impossible which deprived very many outsiders of en. joving a greatly desired intelloctual treat. -- The ball was packed full with an apprecia- tive and delighted audience... ---- 4 8&0" A Btndent Wanted-- J.

On motion of Mr Dobson $3 a month fo- digent aid was ordered to be paid to John Wilson an indigent. x "Mr Ballard a blind indigent, came before the council. The Reeve asked what he had to say to the council. Ballard replied that he would like to know what the council had to say to him, : Mr Barnett said that he had communicat-. ed with the vrincipal of the Institute for the Blind and had been informed that he (Ball- ard) could not again be admitted as he had completed his time, bad learned his trade and had been farnished with a set of tools 0 that he may now work fur himself. Ball- ard said he had not got » full set and he has been bothering and writing after it for quite a time, but even if he bad the touls he could been even pas the difhculties there was a large number of people present and the Christmas Show was really good. In fact too much cannot be said iu favor of those who contribtted so much not only to tho assistance given tothe show but to the credit of the township by bring- ing out what they had to show. We have no patience with your milk sepes who go round finding fault with what is done while they will neither work nor pay to have things done better. Every department of the show was most creditable, the display of cattle was most encouraging as well for buy ers as sellers and while the prices--3} to 43 live weight--were not flattering prices they were all that the market would allow. A full staff of bur most liberal buyers were on hand ; Bongard & Elliott, J Bongard, J Btotes, 8 Knox, 8 T Cawker, Wheeler may not been first-class but there was a larze number of fine animals oftered and Mr Cawker will touch nothing but choice cattle and en this occa- sion he bought some beauties. He bought a first-class steer from Mr Ralph, one of the best feeders in the country. Those who saw Cawker buy it will be anxious to get part of and others. The have met with a fair sale, it for] Christmas. In the show ef fat ox or steer there were seme beauties but Wm Pearson, Manchester, carried of first prize and Wm Reynolds, of Epsom, took second. In the class Fat Cow or Heifer, Wm. Pearson was too many for all competitors and carried off the first prize. A. Earchman & Sons took second. Fat Hogs--James Laing's fat hogs were exceedingly fine and carried off first and seoond prizes. The show of Turkeys was really fine and extensive but Mrs. Jobn Martin's distanced all competitors and took first prise. Mrs. Wm, Parrish took second. The show of Fat Geese was unusually fine, we have never scen better, but Mrs, A. Thompson's carried off first prize and they quality uot support himself by his werk and would consider $4 & month from the ceuncil about ws little as he conld do with, The Reeve reminded him that some years ago when he applied to the conncil to be sent to the In- stitution for the Blind and to be maintained till bo learned the trade of basket making that he would afterwards maintain himself. Ballard replied that he does not exuctly re- member what passed at that time or what fine pictures bad been drawn, butif the council took an exaggerated view of the prospects he is not to blame for that, This was & muzsler to the council, the one looked to the other in blank dispair and hurridly dismissed Ballard assuring him that they would look into his case (their own case was then desperate.) Mr Wm *0 Bryant brought an indigent named Bure before the council with a view of obtaining wid for him: The {hdigent was an aged wanderer without iriends or home, has been a resident of Whity and Pickering for some time past and has no claim on Reach further than humsn sympathy. The Reeve stated that "The House of Providence" was the place for such a mao aud the township to which he belongs should have hiw sent there, Here the in- digent waxed indignant, stamped his foot and said: "the poor house, indeed! I wont't be sent there, I would dieon the roadside whild bogging my bread from door to door ere I will go to any such place." The Poor House advocates tried to reply but could not find utterance and in order to cut the dis. cussion Mr, Dobson moved that $3 be plac- od in the bands of Mc W O Bryaat for sup- plies to the indigent. Mr. W.E Yarnold cstne before the council regarding his claim for services rendered as engineer of the drainage works on the Nonguon Swamp, He had agreed to give his service for $35. There was a specified time given the eontractor to'complete 'the work and of course the work could not be taken off the hands of the contractor only on the certificate of the engineer Dut when the work was completed Mr. Yarnold was away far enst surveying for the Ontario and Quebec Riilway aad the expense coming here was $12; the connuil advanced that and when paying Mr. Yarnold for his services the $12 was deducted off his $35 Mr. Yarnold com- plained of this but the council held that it was right. : The Clerk rep d that it was y that a plan of Saintfivld should be made out, the Greenband plan should be amended to deserved it for they were' D.

The show of Butter was both extensive and choice but in Tub-Butter Mrs, Wm. Sellars carried off first prize and deserved it, Mrs Temple Reswick toek second.
