This the corporation neglected to do and the taxes were re- turned as unpaid. In the years fol- Jowing the taxes were paid all right as they became payable but the taxes of 1887 still remained unpaid and in 1891 the property was sold for the taxes of 1887. When the fact of the sale be came known to the owner of the pro- perty he at once set to work toredeem it having to pay the back taxes, interest and costs of the sale. The owner naturally looks to the Jouncil to make good to him all that the municipal blunder has cost him. ------ A New Departure in Canadian Literature. At the sitting of the Magistrates' Court held in the grand jury room, County buildings, Whitby, on Mon- day last, quite an interest was manifested, P. M.

This church will arouse herself in a commendable manner and cast aside the incubus--a debt which sought to cripple her étitrgies. A noble but de- termined effort will be put forth by her own people to wipe off all indebted- ness and let the church go free.

Little Ethel Armstrong, nine years of age, appeared with a violin and played in a most artistic style "Home, Sweet Home." She handled the bow in a graceful manner, and is indeed a musical prodigy.

OBservER,--May I claim a small portion of your valuable space in briefly referring to that silly burlesque, the Local Option By-law, now before the people of Reach, to be voted on throughout the municipality on the 16th inst. This is now the third infliction of the prohibition farce that the people of Reach have had to endure at the instance of over zealous prohibitionists who seem to take pleasure in insulting and annoying the electors on every occasion that presents itself. Parties unacquainted with the township and who know nothing of the habits aud customs of its people, must suppose, from the repeated attempts madé to muzzle us, that we are a most ignorant, degenerate and dissipated crew who cannot use our liberty and must be muzzled to prevent us from wallowing in the gutter of drunkeness. Nothing could be further from the truth than such an estimate of any portion of the people of Reach ; for this township as a whole will compare favorably in point of sobriety, honor, intelligence and indust any of hip ; al and convenient transitory homes for travelers. Snch houses are indispens- able in any community and deserve public confidence and prtection ; with- out such houses travelling the high- ways of this country would be almost impossible either in the heat of summer or cold of winter. But what do the zealots care for the comfort and con- venience of the public so long as they can run their fad? This is the third dose they are giving to the people of Reach. When the Duncan Act fraud presented itself they greedily seized the opportanity to muzzle the. people of Reach and went grinning around while the costly farce was being play- ed, they knew that greater tempta- tions were being offered and more liquor consnmed during the short and vicious reign of the Duncan Act than before its introduction, but they ap- peared to be satisfied at having a chain sround the necks of the people. But the fraud soon became intolerable and an indignant and insulted people trampled it under foot and let the people go free, and every one who knew anything of the working of the Duncan Act fraud saw peace and good will restored to .the township by the removal of the mischief making nuois- ance, But in the te¢th of the miser- able failure of the" Duncan Act, the Oonvention which has just closed has been of exceptional interest, All of the papers were well prepared and were of interest and profit, while some« were of exceptional merit.-- ing shooting affair when poor Palmer lost his life.

We did not suppose that there was na man, woman or child in Canada so besottedly stupid as write such a letter, such literature is unknown to Canada and if the writer can be found let him be deported at once to the dark haunts of savagery, to live amongst his fellows. Canadian justice is alike indifferent to blandishments and threats and the idiot who would seek to thwart the course of justice Uy threats is knave as well as fool and should be driven from the country on short notice. Spurious Loyalty. Toronto, as an overgrown town, has more spurious loyalty to the square mile than any other town or city in the Dosuimion. At a meeting of the city council the other evening the spurious material was fairly bubbling out of one of its members and there is no saying what mischief it would have wrought had not the fat got into the fire and blown the whole thing. Said dangerously loyal councilor put forward a resolution; That only = processions headed by the Union Jack should have precedence in welking through the streatg of Toronto. There was good sense enough amongst the the members present to sit upon the explosive loyal- ist and vote down his resolution. Left Out in the Cold.

It is interesting to note the impor- tant and substantial improvements re- gularly going on in our comfortable village, such improvewents as add to the value and appearance of the pro- perties concerned. Mr. Thos. Courtice, Port Perry, has leased that choice little farm on the west side of Simcoe St. and north of the old Presbyterian Charch to Mr.. John Jeffrey, jr., for a period of ten years and the enterprising active - young leasce at once entered upon a series of important improve ments, The leasor generously backs up the leasee, furnished the material and the leasee is placing the improve- ments where they will do most good nnd have the greatest eflect in adding to the value of the property. Already the old rickety fence which disfigured the whole front of the property has heen swept away and posts 'suitable for a wire fence set in position, some first-clasy tilg-"drains have been put down, the barn has been raised sufficient'y bigh to admit of a large space of comfortable stable room below. Altogether the extensive improvements are creditable to all concerned and add much to the appearance of the pro perty. rit fend: Shooting Match at Saintfield --Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather the Shooting Match at Saintfield, ow Wednesday of this week, proved St affiplete success.

One Would have thought that the zealots would have been satisfied with twice insulting the intelligence of the township and with the sickening failure of the Duncan and Scott Acts, and would not further seck to annoy the people by the imposition of another fravd. But so soon as the Local Op tion, the greatest burlesque of the three, came into life the zealots rush- ed forward with a view to having this new chain put around the necks of the people of Reach, they have again taken the electors of Reach by the throat and are trying to muzzle them for the third time, aud again pluage the town- ship into all the disorder, confusion aud enmity incident to the working of such sharos. The Scott Act chastised the municipality with whips but the Local Option, the greater fraud of the two, will chastise us with scorpions Let us vote down the by-law on the 16th. If the electors turn out in force the Ly-law will certainly be de- feated Ly n crushing majority, but if they do not turn out and allow the by-law to be carried by "default they will then have reason to regret their indifference when it is too ute, when the Local Option farce will be saddled on the township, and the thrice muz zled electorate will out a humiliating figure before the province who may well suppose when' they see the chain around our neck that the people of Reach are a degenerate lot of imbe- ciles who allow themselves to be taken by the throat and forced to submit to to their own disgrace by being declared incapable and unworthy of using that liberty so dear to the heart of every true Canadian. As a matter of fact the carrying of the Local Option would not in the slightest degree diminish the consumption of liquor, all who de-' sire to have it could get all they wish in any of the surrounding municipal- ities, they might either drink it there or take it home to Reach and drink when they pleased. One effect of the by-law would be the putting of 4 brand on the township as a commun. ity of incapables who must be muzzled to keep them off the liquor. Are the electors of, Reach prepared to bear the degradation of being branded as incap- ables, unable to use their personal freedom and must be tied down by the terrors of the law. ~ Do the olectors of Reach wish to see our peaceful, well- conducted municipality converted into a hotbed of bickering and disputes, a nest of miserable-iying-whisky inform- ers, spies and detectives who make a fat living off the township and keep the people in continual strife, the electors willing to lose their por- tion of the license fund, to drive the | sale of liquors from bur. properly licensed hotels into unlicensed, out-of- the way dens? Are the electors of Reach willing to submit to be taken by the throat as often as it pleases a certain clique, dragged to the polls and made to vote on any whim any clique may suggest!
