All that know the true character of Port Perry know that it is an active, intelligent, enterprising town, but if parties were to reason from the appearance of that delapi- Jated spot they would put us down for a community' of sluggards, "It would not require a great deal of labor or money to convert that unsightly disgusting spot to a handsome greet itable for many | a village.

The following figures taken from the roll may be interesting to our readers. The number of children in the cor- poration between the ages of 5 and 21 is 457, the nssessed value of the real property within the corporation is $349,180 ; value of personal property £42,160; value of taxable income $4350. making a total of $395,630.-- The assessed value of the non-resident lands is $2250 which added to the foregoing makes a total value of $397, 940.

The display is fine and has recently been improved in several ways. Two sand sharks are viewed with great tiiriosity and the three-foot catfish draw forth exclania- tions of wonder froin people who have béen '@céustomed to catching nothing larger than three inch bull-heads. OQur- ious people go into ecstasies of wonder over the crabs, sea horses, sea plants that are half animal and the like and crowd before the glass cases in such numbers that the Columbian guards stationed in the fisheries building sweat in their tight fitting, pretty tin soldier uniforms antil they are ready to drop.

Similarly our imports for the ten months emeéunted to £97,312, 740. or an increase of $7,436,504 over the same period last year.
