ALBERT, JUNE 28, 1866. OBITUARY. I is our painful duty to annoiince the death, after a lingering illness, of Mr. William' Robinson, Editor of this Journal Though young, Mr. Robinson has long en-| joyed 'the confidence and respeet of th public, and his early death leaves a blank w this village which will be long and sensibly felt, as a eitzens, and in the social relations of life he maintained a characte: unblemished, as a journalist he had won the] esteem of all, more partigularly had his con- : sistent and straightforward course as an advocate of Reform entitled hig to high! consideration by the great party whose principles he has advocated, always with firmness, truthfulness and candor of a patriot, never with the bilterness and| acrimony of a zealot. His first connection with this journal dates back te. the firet yea: of 11s establishment (nine years ago), when he commenced 10 learn the ast of prinling j with the exception of a few months abser.ce| in the United States, he continued in the office as compositor, until the retirement of Mr. Holden, when he purchased an interest in the paper, and assumed the duties o Editor, since which time ke has devoted his best encrzies to the services of the public. We feel that the public has with us sus- tained a serious loss. But we have the| satisfaction.of believing that our loss, is his eternal gain, and we bow to the will ol Him whe in His inscrutable Providence has re- moved from among vs, one we had al learned to love so well. Mr. Robinson leaves a wile and child, and large number ol relatives to deplore his loss. Tho warmest sympathy is felt by the whole community for the family of, the deceased, and their sorrow is shared, if no alleviated bya great number who enjoyed an intimate acquaintance with him. His remains were on Wednesday conveyed to their last resting place. A funeral sermon will be preached by the Rev. Mr. Stobb on Sunday next at 10 o'clock a. m. BL RS RR een NORTH ONTARIO E.

He gave a thnlling account of he deeds of valor of the British forces in India and the Crimea. He gloried in true Britdsh. pluck, and had: not the least doubt but that the boys of Prinue Albert, if eniled upon to. meet a foreign foe, would do their 'uty as sons of noble sires. Dr. Knowlyes, of Greenbank, would only make a few remarks. He felt proud of thel Ariny and Navy of old England, than which there was no better on the fage of the globe.| He coincided with. his Reverend: friend, (Mr. Stobbs,) that there was no pluek. like] true British pluck."

Mr. A. Gordon spoke: at considerable length in response to the toast. He was) not a Volunteer, but his best' wishes were with them.

Prince ALBERT, June 26, 1866 .Stm,--When Mr. Gordon made his first tack upon me, he appears to have though at [i would ghnietly submit to any in- lignity which: he thought fit to heap upon me, without daring to. reply. And he i very indignant that I should have done so. But he should remember when. he indulge in the amusement of throwing stones, thal it is a game at which twawean: play, and that he is liable to receive a return of com pliment in kind, and he should make op his mind to preserve his temper unruffled even when his blows are returned with interest. The slur he altempts to thro pon me, by denouncing my letier as ¢ fou nd cantankerous abuse" 1s an expedient 0 often adopted fledglinga in controversy, when they find themselves unable to fairly| answer the arg of their opy " that the mention of it is not only ridiculous, but nauseating to people of ordinary in-| telligences. \ 'Lhe statements which I gave in my last lettes, in. refenence to the matters in dispute] were wade from my reeolleetion of the cir- cumstances. I did not dee'n it necessary o give the date of all the by-laws and ie- solutions which had been passed, and the the proofs of the promises which have been) made and broken, and on referring to the) proper authorities, I have ascertained that in no important particular was I mistaken, nor did my statements, (except in one in. stance which makes my case stronger stil!) vary fram, the facts, and L propose to give a detailed statement of the several steps) which have been taken in the matters in lispute since the year 1863. On the 5h of May in that year Mr. Ross and myself at- tended a meeting of the Council and com-) plained of the manner in which the path- master at Manchester had neglected the) road east of the village, and we asked the Council to. extend the Prince Albert beat, wes\ 10. Manchester, and north; to.the gravel road, and there was a strong disposition on, the part of the €ouucil to.accede 10 our re-| quest,"bul Mr. Ewers who was. present: al the Council, made a promice-on behalf off himself and others, that the pathmaster would repair the road and buildia new bridg¥ over the creek, and upon the strength ol that promise, a compromise was effected, and Mr. Graham, repredgqtative of the Cen-| ire Ward, introduced and carried tlirough the Council a by-law, whereby Messrs. Alex. and F. Graham. and: Dennis Fiche) were attached to. the: Prince Albert beat. This. vas the firet dismemberment by-law, instead of that passed in 1864; as Mr. Gpr- lon represguts. [Thawe abundantpomtive proof that Mr. Ewers did make the pro- ice above alluded to, but m orler to take up as IRtle of your space as possible T will give.but one at present, which will be found below, a certificate made by Chas. Payne, E<q. The pathmaster of Manchester, Mr. Perkin, then owner of the Revere House, instead of carrying out the agreement which nd beep. male with the Conneil, squander Bd a lange portion of the. labor of his beat, in fillui @ up the square in front of and aronnd| his own premises. On the 27th of November in the same year, the brilge which Mr. Ewsrs had promised should be repaired, aving become almost impassable, Mr. Graham moved " that the sum, of $20 be) granted ta pay for making of a bridge on he 5th concession Jine in the Village. o Manchester and that the Clerk grant an or-| Jer on the Treasure for the sum in favor of W.

I believe I have shown conclusively thai he second dismemberment by-law .w passed. on acoountiofithe non-fi ment @ these promises, and was repenied' because Mr. Ewers renewed his promises to repai the road, : That Mr. Gerdon has asserted that whic he most have known to be untrae with re spect to the by-law of 1864 being the firs ismemberment by-law, he has evidently earcherd the records which tell a different orp, and when he penned those lines, new that he: was stating that which was not correot,. | The shallow calumny: impliediin. his re- erence to My.

[as will appear from the letter of Mr. Spring, given below, Mr. Gordon has endeavored lo convey the idea that the object in view in di bering the Manch road beat, was really to fake the work away from Manchester. Yet nothing is further from) he truth. ~ The work, though done unde: the supenintendance of the Prince "Albert pathmaster, is a!l done within the limits.o' what was the Manchester 'beat, and to thy has been added this year no less than 20 a 30 days we pk, out of the Prince Albert beat proper, and shill the road: is net vepaired, badly has it been n. glectedy thav 1 shall bel under the necessity of expending some $50 of my ward money to make the road good.

This ix very pretty, and the asmietance he invoke from above adds solemaily,. and gives 3 parent force to His declaration. Can Mr. Gordon point ont the justice of an act he has been attempting for some time past tof perpetuate on Mr. Mitchell, whereby thai gentleman would be deprived of a valuable frontage near Mr. Gordon's premises. he has not done injnst want of power, and not prevented him.
