Brookman, agent for the Upper Canada Bible Society, having appointed to be here on that day. The several collectors will require to have their lists returned to the Treasurer, at least by the fifth of Feb- uary, in order that the Financial statement may be completed in time for the meeting. Ramtway AccmweEnt.--On Thursday night last the Buffalo & Lake Huron Rail- way train going Hast, met with an accident between Dunville and Port Colborne. It ~ se one of the rails had got displaced. he Engine and baggage car passed over all right, but a passenger car attached was thrown off the track and tumbled over the embankment. Mr. Lizars of this town was on board. No person was seriously injured, Snop Lirrinc.--A very respectably dressed Farmer's wife was caught in the act of stealing sugar from the store of Mr. Morris, in this town, and was, in conse quence, brought before the Mayor, who, after administering a severe reprimand, allowed her to go. It is to be feared there is too much of this sort ef thing carried on. Merchants, therefore, should keep a sharp look out for people who are provided with " big"? cloaks and " long pockets." We learn from the Echo that the Paro- chial Association Meetings fer this County will be hela as follows :-- Shipley, Wallace, Jany. 28th, at 7p. m. Listowell, <> 20 = Shakespeare, #530 ~ Mitchell, " 31st ll Stratford, Feb. 1 7 St Mary's « 2nd « Kirkton, 'y 3rd 7 Prospect Hill, 4 4th " The Revds. E. E. Newman and H. Cau lfield compose the Deputation. Donation Party.--As a_ token of respect and a mark of the high esteem in "| which the Revds. Hugill and Kellam are held by their people, the members of the Wesleyan Methodist Congregation here held a "' Donation Party "' in the parsonage, on Thursday evening last, for the purpose of affording those who felt so disposed an '| opportunity of presenting their gifts. A very large number were present on the occasion, and, we believe, the several do- nations amounted to a very handsome sum in money, besides other things of value in the family. On the part of the Rev. gentlemen we have been requested to say that they feel deeply and sincerely grateful to their friends for the kindness exhibited in this matter. Mr. Black, the Mitchell constable, who shot Nevin, was released from jail yesterday. Mr. Nevin is better. Mr. Black, as a mat ter of course, will have to stand his trial; but his acquittal, judging from all we have heard of the circumstance, is certain. It was an act to be deplored--still we believe it was a justificable act. Mr. Black was attacked in a brutal manner. He pulled out his revolver thinking to frighten the ruf- fians who were attempting to prevent him from discharging his duty. One of the gang while attempting to strike Mr. Black with a club missed him and hit the hammer of the revolver causing it to " go off"--the ball, accidently hit Mr. Nevin. _ We believe these to be the facts. If they are, a jury will have little difficulty in acquitting him. A meeting of the Board of Northern Gravel Road.Directors took place in the Mayor's Office, Town-Hall, on Monday last. Members present, W. F. McCulloch, Esq., President, and Directors, Messrs J.A. Scott, Waugh and Jarvis. The proceedings of last meeting were read and approved. The Secretary then read the Annual Report which showed a gradual increase of travel on the road. The meeting then adjourned, and the Annual Meeting of the Stock Holders of the Road took place, and Messrs. Jarvis, Mitchell, Stoney, J. A. Scott and P. Watson were Elected Directors for the resent year. The late President, W. F. McCulloch declining a re-election, as he had understood that it was the wish of the Town Council that only Councillors should be Directors, The new Directors then Kiected P. R. Jarvis President, and R. 8. Service Secretary during the pleasure of the Board. The Directors will drive over the road in a few days to make themselves conyersant with its requirements. GRAMMAR ScnooL.-- While giving an ac- count of the recent examination of the pupils attending the Grammar School, we promised to call the attention of our readers to the series of Meteorological observations established in connection with that Institu- tion. In fulfilment of our promise we have obtained the information contained in this article from Mr. MacGregor the head mas- ter. These observations are carried on in ac- cordance with the provisions of the existing Grammar School Act, and are made with the following instruments : ~ Barometer, Thermometers, Hygrometer and Rain Guage. The instruments are all made by the best instrument makers in England and their accuracy may be depended on. Ob- servations with these instruments are made by the Head Master three times a day, viz: at 7a.m.,1p.m., and 9 p.m. The reading of the various instruments are re- corded after each observation in a register provided for the purpose and at the end of each month an abstract is made into another book, a copy of which is sent to the Chief Superintendant of Education. Mr. Mac- Gregor informs us that he has been engag-' ed in this laborious duty for about three years and a half, and has faithfully and accurately performed it without any re- muneration for his labor. Now this ought not tobe so! Ifthe observations are of any value at all surely the observer, who has to be at his post regularly at the hours mentioned, should be paid for his trouble. We trust the Board of Trustees will see that Mr. MacGregor shall not be unreward- ed. We understand also that in reply to his application for the necessary blank books &., which have in previous years been supplied by the Education department gratuitously, Mr. MacGregor has received intimation that he will get the books when he sends money to pay for them. This ap- pears to us false economy as it is absurd to suppose that the observer will pay for the books that are necessary to make reports to the department from which he purchases, them. If these obseryations and reports are of any value, 'and no one doubts that, the Trustees should see that the necessary books &c., be furnished. It is certainly tco much to expect that Mr. MacGregor would continue to impose upon himself' so much labor and trouble, as these observa- tions involye, unless he receives some re- muneration, We would again call the attention of our friends inthe country to this excellent In- | stitution. It affords every facilty for ac- quiring a first-class education. It is net necessary for us to say that the Head Mas- ter is a man in every way well qualified for his position. acca se ERS Blanshard. The Argus says:--" The election for Councillors in this township excited little interest. All the old Councillors who sought re-election were again returned. In Ward No. 1, Mr. Sparrow was re-elected by accla- mation. In No. 2, Mr. T. Lennox succeeds Mr. Whimster, who retires. In No. 3, Mr. Gooding was re-elected by acclamation, we believe. In No. 4, Mr. F. Anderson was opposed by Mr. Beavis, but was re- eiected. In No. 5, Mr. Stanley, the Reeve, was also re-elected by acclamation. Downie and Gore. In our last issue we announced the names of the gentiemen elected as Councillors for this township. Mr. Monteith, as a matter of course, was re-elected without opposition. Mr. Michael Kastner was opposed by Mr. T. Brown, but was re-elected. Mr. Russell was elected for Ward No. 3. Mr. Elliott was not opposed in Ward No. 5. The prin- ciple contest was between Mr. Clyne and Mr. Brennan. For the last three or four weeks a local journal, with its usual disre- gard for truth, did all it could to arouse a religious feeling in Mr. Clyne's Ward, not against Mr. Clyne,but against Mr. Monteith, who, it was well known, Mr. Clyne would support for the Reeveship. This disrepu- table dodge was. seen through by such men as Mr. James Payton and others of the neighborhood, who have been too long and too intimately acquainted with Mr. Mon- teith to be deceived by such "clap trap." These men also remember the time when this same journal designated them as "Ignorant Irish Dogans."' The game, therefore, of raising religious feuds among the people is about played out, as it ought to be! The grand object had in view by the member and his organ was to prevent Mr. Monteith from being Reeve of Downie, and thereby prevent the possibility of his being Warden. The member's "hench- man," Mr. James Fisher, was sent out to look after the interests of his master--and Mr. Carroll of Hibbert appeared on the scene as soon as he could be spared from his own township. As we said before, Mr. Brennan is not only a highly respectable young man, but he is very well qualified to fill the position he sought. So long, how- ever, as no charge can be preferred against Mr. Clyne, we think the people of his Ward deserve great eredit for supporting him; and also for having refused to become par ties to the member's plot to prevent Mr. Monizith's being elected a member of the County Counci!,--a position for which he is so well qualified. sax We are sorry to learn that Mr. Smale, of Downie, hac his feet badly frozen on New Year's night. We trust it will not prove of so serious a nature as to confine Mr. Smale for any length of time to his house. Ellice. In this township the councillors are : John Pearson, John Kastner, John Mulloy, M. Hishon and David Smith. Elma. Messrs. Hay, Mitchell, Stevenson, Roe and Dunn are the Councillors for this township--Mr. Dunn has been elected in place of Mr Cousins. Fullarton, In this township, notwithstanding all the cry that was raised against them, all the old Councillors have been re-elected. The celebrated McPhail got peg= 5 gag votes. We learn from the Advocate that this is an increase over previous attempts--on former occasions he succeeded in polling from one to two votes. We learn from the Reformer that the establishing of monuments in this township is creating a good deal of feeling. The old Councillors were opposed to this on account of its being likely to very materially change the present features of the township by. causing roads to run through men's orchards and barns, &c. It would appear that there has been something wrong with the "lines" from the beginning. Mr. Ford and his colleagues are in favor of obtaining a special act of Parliament establishing the existing lines and boundaries. Mr. McPhail threatens to expose the whole matter through the Globe. Mr. MePhail's views do not take well with the people of the township if we are to judge of their popularity by the number of votes he re- ceived. We give the candidates' names as we find them in the Reformer with the ad- dition of Mr. McPhail's name which, through charity we suppose, the Reformer suppressed : ; anson, 197; Ulrick, 178; Davidson, 176 , Ford, 160 ; Leyersage, 151 ; Porteous, 129; McIntyre, 83; Hugill, 37; Moore, 35; Dodds, 72; Campbell, 25, and McPhail, 5. A _ vote was taken as to whether any additional tavern licenses should be issued. 200 voted against an | inerease--100 for it. There is no need for _ temperance traets in this township. a Hibbert. The councillors are: Bell, Carrall, Deans, Akinson and Gardner. Logan. In this township two new members have been elected. We regret to find the name of Mr. Metcalf among the outs. He was an excellent Councillor and a strictly up- right man. We learn from the Advocate that Mr. Saakel, who takes his place, "'is a warm supporter of what is right." The names of the Councillors are as follows :-- Robert Jones, James Murray, Samuel Hornibrook, Christian Saakel, and Henry Kenoke. Mitchell. Owing to the interference of Mr. Mac- farlane the contest in this Municipality was purely political. The result shews that Conservatism is fast gaining ground. John Fishleigh, 162, F. Awty, 150, Thos. Babb, 135, Wm. Abbott, 120, and Wm. Rath, 115. The Grit Candidates were--T. Matheson, 90, J. H. Flagg, 87, T. Davison, 14, G. F. Sills, 12, and Jas. Walkinshaw, 2. beg~ We observe that the Perth Reformer of last week, in a well written article, takes the Globe to task for its absurd course in regard to representation. The Reformer, so far as its remarks regarding the Globe are concerned, is undoubtedly right. The Globe has no principle in the matter--it is therefore, disgusting to read its articles. We decidedly condemn the unprincipled course pursued by Mr. McDougall, but it is perfectly absurd for ajournal like the Globe to take him to task. Does not the Globe support, or pretend to support the present ministry? Did he not then know Representation was ignored? The Globe and its proprietor have more glaringly abandoned principles than Mr. McDougall ? Why then should it take him to task. We are pleased to notice that there are reform journals manly enough to rebuke such time servers as the Globe and its master. Let Mr. Brown remember 1858 and keep silent on the abandonment of principle for shame ? a re Mornington. The Municipal election for this township for the present year has resulted in the re- turn of the five Conservative Candidates, Magwood, Nicklin, McKee, Watson and Roe by an overwhelming majority--The following are the votes polled by each Can- didate : George Magwood, 331 Alexander Roe, 325 John Nicklin, 326 Robert McKee, 311 John Watson, 288 James Whaley, 181 James Bolton, 161 William Grieve, 129 John Freeborn 99 David Smiley, 91 The selection of the Conservative Candidates was made with respect to eaeh Ward--so that no undue advantage could be tzcen from the abolishing of the Wards, {[¢ will be seen from the above that Mr, Magwood polled a majority of 150 over the highest Reform Candidate. and 240 over Mr. Smiley, the Grit pitted against him from the same ward. The average Conservative majority in the Township is 183, a ma- jority which for all time to come may be relied upon in allsimilar contests. Up to the hour of polling the Conservatives were disunited and certain defeat seemed their doom--On the other hand the Reformers were well organized, with good working Committees in every part of the tdéwnship, the Division Court lawyer's quill was con- stantly at work, hand bills containing charges of the most serious nature against the Council of 1863 were circulated through- out the township, handsome little blue tickets or cards to catch the Orangemen with Whaley, Bolton, Smiley, Grieve and Freeborn printed in large type upon them, were also freely circulated _ before and during the polling days, and so certain were they of victory that their tickets were headed " Councillors for 1864." The Beacon of last week contained a com" munication from a West's Corner's cor respondent, chuckling over the anticipated victory. This well written article was read at the opening of the poll ; an electric shock seemed to pass through every Con- servative in the building. The well known voice of McFadden was heard to shout boys to your posts, a command which was no sooner given than obeyed. The blue cards were playing at this time pretty brisk- ly, out came a package of fine large white cards headed, " Vote for the Conservative Candidates, Nicklin, McKee, Watson, Mag- wood and Roe," they commenced playing with engineering skill, only about one fourth of the pack had heen played when Mr. Freeborn deserted his post, and has nut since been seen or heard of, Smiley heeled it about 3. o'clock, Mr. Grieve toughed it out until 4 o'clock of the first day, but on the second day only Messrs, Whaley and Bolton were to be seen of. the Reform Candidates. Mr. Bolton stood to his post like a Briton, throughout. the en- tire contest, and at the close of the poll received three good _ hearty cheers from the Conservatives _ pres- ent, and was then told that his defeat was caused by his being one of the Grit nominees, and by that alone--Mr. Bolton would make a good Councillor, so would Messrs. Whaley and Grieve, but these men need never expect to obtain seats in the Council by allowing any of their supporters to vilify and slander such men as McKee, Watson, Magwood, Nicklin and Bennett, and be parties to such uncalled for abuse. It will answer very well for the Conservatives to quarrel among themselves but woe-be-to the Grit that interferes. A VOTER. Mornington January, 1864. pea oleenegince North Easthope.

Hutton, M. Harrison, Alex. Beattie, Joseph McDougall, Dr. Ford and T. Birtch. Firr.--We are sorry to learn that the "Perth Standard Office" was completely destroyed by fire on Saturday evening last. We understand the proprietor was unable to save any ofhis printing materials, The friends succeeded in getting the press out but in the hurry overturned it and broke it. No insurance was effected on the printing material. There was a small insurance on the building. We sincerely hope the friends of the cause which the Standard so ably de- fended will, with their usual liberality, step forward and assist Mr. Abbott in re-estab- lishing his paper. f Wallace.

The property was insured, Frcm the same paper we learn that a boy, who was amusing himself with a hand-sleigh on one of the streets of that village, lately, was ran over by a span of horses and very seriously injured. It would be well if our own boys would be warned by this accident. Frozen To Deata.--Warly on Saturday morning James Harney, a laborer residing in. Rockwood, was found lying near the Railway Station adjoining the village, frozen to death. It appears the deceased had been making merry and drinking freely on the previous day, and had left the house of William Elgie in Rocke wood about 3 o'clock on the Saturday morning to go to his home, a short distance beyond the Grand Trunk station. the house of Mr. Samuel Greaves, which is sit- uated between the village and the station, heard some one hallooing about the time Harney must have passed, but on going tothe door saw no person, It will be remembered that Saturda morning was intensely cold, and the unfortun- ate man being from inebrity and exhaustion in no condition to withstand the inclemency of the weather had, doubtless, fallen or lain down in the snow and slept " the sleep that knows no waking.""-- Guelph Herald, Warnina To Minors--The London Prototype publishes some correspondence which passed between Ald.
