Ee Butavin Hhserter, PRINCE ALBERT, DEC. 12, 1872. LOST 1TS HEAD, That always shaky, universally suepici- ous and now deservedly notorious concern, the Port Whitby and Pont Perry Ruilway, has met with merited punishment at last by ut.dergoing the no less ignominious than painful process of decapitation. My Lord Sheriff of Ontario sent out his Depaty on Monday last and out the plaguy head off the concern. Our readers will remember that during the erection of the terminus buildings of this road ai Port Perry, the OBscrver ad- monished the Company, warping them of the danger of going deliberately on to build their station houses on property which did not belong to them. Of course the railway magnate only heaped abuse on us, and in Place of receiving our advice in the same epirit in which it was given, and thus avoid the danger into which they were rushing they attributed our counsel to the basest of motives, and one vr two of the meanest sneaks not only of the company but of orea- tion actoally went so tar in abusing their little 1ligotten influence in that village as to go from house to house trying to prevent parties from taking the OssErver. We allowed the contemptible creatures to pass uiipunished knowing that the men of that village were of sterner stuff than kiss the the great toe of the would-be pope. How- ever with that unecrupulous recklessness which has marked their course from the first inception of the scheme, they hurried on the buildings. Again about a year ago when one of onr villagers took his business to the Port, the magnats of the company were 80 ex- uberantly generous as to offer him a large and important lot free of charge on condi- tien that he would erect on it large and ex- pensive el build The O ER at once flew to the rescue, warned our late fownsman of the trap which was being set for him, told him that the Company did not own the lot more than we did, and that if he touched it he would burn his fingers beyond a paradventure, and that if he went on and built on that Jot he would lose hie change. The magnats again got round him, assured him that the OpscrRvER was only influenced by motives of spleen to: wards the Company, and actually succeed- ed in making the intended victim believe that the OBsErvER only wished to deprive him the benefit of their generous ofler, and be too began to fume and froth at us like a crazy man. However wé kept on dunning at him till he toned down and on second thoughts, he politely declined their Pandora box, and has thus avoided the snare and saved himself thousands of dollars by doing 80. Matters passed on till Monday last when the She'iff of the County, by the authority of Mr. Cameron, the owner of the property, sent his deputy who fairly beheaded the eoncern by seizing station houses, store houses, car houses &c. &c., and our friend's grand elevator would aleo have got into lim= bo. Thus ths once blustering but now dis- consolate "Jemmy Dryden" and his weeping partoer "Lady Scugog' are left on the street, houseless and homeless, verifying the prediction of the big book : " the iniqui- ties of the fathers are visited on the child- sen." We learn that Jemmy and his mate have hired their board at a tavern which is conveniently by; but they will have to find sleeping accommodation at Whitby ; unless the relentless Shenft find it y fo LI w iil Ei ---- THE MODEL FARM, The Ontario, Government has an im- portant business on hand in the location of the proposed Model Farm for the Pro- vince of Ontario. The establishment of an Agricultural College and Model Farm in this pre.emi- nently agricultural province will long con. tinue to be regarded as one of those ad. mirable measures for which the province is £0 much indebted to the wisdom and foresight of the late lamented Jobn Sand- field McDonald and his government.---- Notwithstanding the fuss made when this institution was first pushed to the front, when it was sou;ht to make political capi. pes WHO WILL FILL THE VACANT CHAIRS ¥ he By the admirable provisions}of the clears the municipal board of all its occu pants, and leaves it to the discretion of the electors--with the consent of th members, of course--whether they shall renew their confidence in all or any of the late p discretionary power to a very great ex- tent renders the clectors The ise of this at for engine lately purchased by' the corpora tion of the town of Whitby, was making the fire king feel her power in curtailing municipal law, the close of each year |bis influence and limiting bis devastating effects. In this her first fight with the fire king the Merryweaiber has saved the price of herself at least ten times over, or it may be fifty times. The promptitude with which the engine was on the ground and her conduct throughout werd the sub- jects of much commendation, both as re- gards the efficiency of the engine and her the acts of the council ; and in bringing forward and supporting candidates this im- portant fact ought not to be lost sight of by the el i for the first year, have proved unfaithful A ber of | may, and the el be comparitively innocent; tal out of it by a howl of extravag: or misappropriation, there is not now a man in the country who would dare risk his reputation for sanity by opposing so impor- tant a measure ; in fact the wailing has changed to praise and the censure to com. mendation. The grand object of the whole province seems now to be who can presect the most eligible site for this im- portant institution. John Sandfield's gov- ernment had selected a site and gone on and expended a considerable amount of money in commencing to fitit. When the Blake government came into power the wisdom of the selection was called in ques tion and parties who mere sent to examine the quality of ibe soil &c., &e., brought in an unfavorable report, so unfavorable ia fact thatthe selection was set aside and the government set about finding a more suitable location. In this they have been nobly assisted by almost every locality in the province whose soil is anything better than a barren rock--and, thank Providence, we have little of thatjin our fine province--memorials, addresses, peti- tious, supplicati and deputati have been the order of the day from all quarters of the province. The result of all this is that the minister of agriculture and others are actually going round and inspecting several of the offered locations. On Friday last they came to the town but if he receive their suffrages a second time and he abuse his position he is infi- nitely less to blame than the electors are He was unfaithtul during the previons year and the electors renewed their confidence in him and thereby gave their sanction to his acts, proving to him that fidelity in the dis- charge of his duties was not necessary to secure the confidence of the electors or re- tain his seat at the council board, ms the electors by the renewal of their confidence say in effect that they approve of his acts and they will assume the responsibility. -- While electors, on the one hand, ought to be ble in their d d hing shouid induce them to renew their confi- dence in an unworthy officer. The muni- cipal law generously and wisely provides that at the close'of each year the members for the year then closing shall come before their constituents and give an sccount of thier stewardship, mesting the approbation or disapproval of the ratepayersjaccording as their acts have been worthy or otherwice, As a general matter parties who have_been at the hoard and conducted themselves to the satisfaction of the electors will general. ly be preferred to those who are untried ; still from year to year a certain smount eof new blood ought to be infused into the body as well for improving the grade as for keep- ing up the supply of trained hands. There is one important office which will require to be filled at this time, viz: the office of Tressurer, Geo.. Currie Esq, the of Whitby for the purpose of inspecting a location to which their attention bad been called in that quarter. We certainly would rejoice to see this fair county hon. ored by having so important an institution established in our midst ; and with the ex- ception of the townships of North Ontario, we know of no more eligible locality in the province than the neighborhood of the town of Whitby; but we are very much mistaken if the locality shown is the best which could be selected in that neighborhood. OF course if the bers of the i Pp having given in his resignation, to take eflect at the close of the present year. To say that Mr.. Currie was a faithful, reliable, obliging officer would be only echoing the universal sentiment of the en- tire municipality, a sentiment which would be heartily subscribed by all who have done business with him. And while the entire The places of business destroyed are 14 in all, but many of them were of liitle value ; in fact the whole loss is laid at $25,000 or $30,000, and all covered by insurance.

CHRISTMAS Mr. Diesfeld of the Prince Albert Jewal- ry Emporium has just opened out one of the finest, beet mesorted, most elegant stocks of New Gaods in the Walch and Jewelry line which we have seen in this part of the country. We recommend our readers to read his new advertisement in another col umn of this issue. The Prince Albert Jewelry Emporium has long enjoyed the well merited reputa- tion of alwaye keeping on hand an exten- sive stock of choice, reliable goods and sell- ing as low as such good can be afforded. In this season of merry making, giving and receiving gifts, &o., Mr. Diesleld's el- egant stock will doubtless be a universal favorite, and parties wishing to bestow gilts which cannot fail in being acceptable to the receiver will find themselves well suited at Mr. Deisfeld's establishment.-- (See his advertisement.) : ----------------e R ber the Ded y Services of the GIFTS, township deeply regrets his from the list of its municipal officers we again echo their sentiments when we express the fervent hope that a long, prosperous and highly useful career may yet be before him are satisfied with the site, all right ; but in order, if possible, to secure the instituticn for this county the best locations ought to have been shown, locations better suited to the purpose and less encumbered with piles of old buildings. The Commission and their friends bad a busy time of it passing from field to field, while the practical men with pick and shovel laid bare the bosom of the generous soil to the great satisfaction of the beholders. When the pick and shovel had done their part of the duty assigned them, and bad afforded the Commission ample oppor- tunity of judging of the quality, depth &ec., &c., of the soil, James Holden, professor of windiculture, nearly put his foot in the whole affair by attempting to give a lec-- ture on practical blowing before the whole company. Had it not been for the good sense of the Commission, together with the restraining influences of those who accom. panied them, James' agricultural blasts would have prostrated the whole scheme by blowing the Commission all the way back to Mimico. Tis all gas for such men as James Holden to blow over bis ninety bushels to the acre as the result of his preeminen, skill as an agriculturist, such men as the minister of agriculture is not to be caught with chaff, and if James Holden expects by his unlimited puffing to hoodwink the Hon. McKellar into appointing him pro- that he has been blowing in the wrong direction. He might do for a model blow. er and save the expense of fanning mills, but as a model farmer we fear. he would not be a success, 1 WOODSTOCK IS MOVING.

That portion of the Legal Opinion which refers to the stations is quite satisfactory. Learned Counsel in referring to the section of the by-law providing for the erection and maintenance of proper, freight and passenger stations, says :--* In this para graph some confusion arises from the fact that the line of railway and duties of the company as to stations are not separated. But I ike it that the building and main. tenance of the passenger and freight sta tions at the points indicated was intended to be a condition of the granting of the money though not so expressed in the by- law. If the company knowing of the terms of the by-law accepted the money, I thivk the company. is bound to comply with the condition as to building snd maintaining passenger and freight stations and in the event of their refusing so to do then a bill would lie in Equity to compel them specifically to do that which by the acceptance of the Debentures they must bave agreed to do." 'This is all right and if it means any- thing it evidenily means that the railway company is bound forthwith to erect snch stations as are set forth in the by.law This has the further new C. P.

This elaborately shoddiacle practice of our modern nabobs riding round the coun~ try accompanied by their retinue of dogs is just a little too much of the good thing. If the whole pack, dogs, and it might be horses, men and all were tied (ogether the nuisance would certainly be very much mitigated and ladies and children moving in a humbler spliere of life, who are not able to keep a horse and who do not de- sire to keep a dog to annoy their neighbors might then be #llowed to pass along the street with some degree of salety and without the risk of having their dresses if not their flesh torn by the deep mouthed bellowing brutes. On several instancas already since the snow caused pede:trians to take the same track as their more ex--- alted brethren's horses have we seen ladies plunging into the snow on one side to save themselves from being ridden over by the Jehu, while his accompanying brute has jumped right at them frightening them half to death. It is of course no one's busi- ness how many canine brutes any one Flea"es to entertain, but if they are to run round the couctry let them be muzzled to stop their music and have their teeth ex- tracted to save ovr garments.

The weather was highly favorable when compared with the previous day. A lot of fine catile were shown and prices ranged fiom four to six dollars, and while the descrepancy in priced was very marked it was no lees marked than the descrepancy in the quality of the stock oftered. There were decidedly many fine animals on hand, but there were many which had very little Christmas beet about them: Such exhibi only add h to the many proofs furnished from time to time of the importance of stock breeders so working their stock as to secure well bred animals; the difference is very marked and the profits are more eo. The number of people present was very good showing as it evidently does that the sympathies not of this township alone but of the surrounding townships ara enlisted in favor of the Manchestor Fairs as being held in one of the most convenient localities in the Province ; and where superior facilities are offered for holding fairs equally advan- tageous tc buyers and sellers ; and both parties know that it is to their own interest that these faire are kept up with epirit. There were eleven entries in prize Cat- tle. Mr. Wm. Coates showed twe fine an- imals in the class Fat Ox or Steer, and Mr. R. Blight showed three capital animals in ihe same class. In the class Fat Cow or Heifer there were 6 fine animals shown. John Coates, Wm. Scott, J. Watson and J. Claughton showed one each and R. Blight showed two. In the class Fat Sheep there were only 3 entries but they were fine animals, James Stonehouse, Brock, showed 2 and D. C. Christie, Reach, showed one. Io the class Dressed Hogs there were 5 entries of as well fatted and dressed hogs as we remember seeing at any of our fairs. Mr. Bear, of Reach, showed one which weighed 445 Ibs. Mr. 8 Cauker, of Port Perry showed two, one 430 and the other 406 Ibs. Mr. J. Bond, Scugog, showed one 444 Ibs. and Mr. J Taylor, Manches- ter, showed a fine one but we did rot as- certain its weight. The Poultry could not be cal'ed a success a! least as lo quantity, and whether or no the bill forbidding geese to make their ap- pearance in the streets which some genius stuck around the village of Manchester last apring had anything to do with the misera- ble display of the goose tribe on this ocea- sion we can'l eay, but it looks precious like it. No doubt the feathered wanderers wise- ly concluded that there were greater geese than they who tried to supprees them, and left the streets in disgust. There were in all three pairs shown. Mr. W. Thomas Mr. H. Harper, and Mr. J. Bear showed a. pair each. PRIZE LIST, Fat Ox or Steer--5 entries; 1st and 2ud Wm. Coates. Fat Cow or Heifer--6 entries; 1st Joseph Claughton, 20d John Watson.
