Mr. Jonathan Bleng bas purchased tht Sangster place in the north part of tht town, and it la reported will erect a fine residence thete. Mr. T. C. Forman appears determined te have a seat at the board of education, snd as he found it necessary te withdraw his candidature at the school elections, a petition 18 now being carried round asic- ing the county counicil to appoint hlm to the board. Hearty congratulations te Oouacillor-elect Thos. R~undie The peopie generally select as their representattves men who know al about running everybody elses business but their own, but in this instance they have elect- ed a man who knows how to run his own snd other peoples ni well. Tht town election on Monday ended in Mr. Purdy's defeat b y5 votes for deputy reeve, though a different resuit was an- ticipated. A :arge and neediessa aioint ofterness was stirred into the fight by »Ci conduct cf Reeve Curts aud Mr. Will- tox, who brought their personal disputes into play ta the fullest extent. For weeks they. have been pouring thçir bar room style of yarns iiitô èvérybuody's ears, anid eveu on the platferm they displayed no better qualities. One thing was rendered obvions b y their cenduct, and that is that neither o f them is fit te be at the head cf a tewn's affaira, and the town will ne doubt look for men in whom the y can place a littie degree cf respect, and whe have seme self-respect. Tht wonder is that Mr. Purdy was net elected this year, and most people regard his defeat as the resuit cf thie acrimenieus conduct cf Mr. Cuits in his behaif. The people of this town displayed about as mucli interest in the election fights iu Reath and Scugeg as did the electors of the latter places, and sympathies were divided in ail cases, expectations beiug largely realized in beîh cases. Mr. Wright set up a bilg excitemnent ln Reach for the length cf time he had ta do it, and in sanie respects gave utterantiot views reflecting moat serionsly npon last year's cennty ceuncil. Ht gave figures to show that the cou nty valuation cost $12o0, and was nothing in the end but a compromise arrived at in a few minutes by the *arring factions. In tht irst place the county council spent a day at $ieo arranging for the work and selecting valuators,1 the se- lection beiug made an the basis of In- fluence, and net ahility ln ail cases. Thes $6oo was paîd for the work. Two days' were spent ever the report by the whole cauncil fryhng te, amend its defects, at a cost of $210. Finally an appeal was taken te Judge Burnham cesting over $300 More, * and then a jumped-at valuation wÉs taken ta prevent the burlesque froin rUnnlng tbt county Into several thottsand dollars of cests. Ht bolds that the valtiation is now enly good for a year. Mfr. Wright Madt it quite warm for tht county councilors, and justly sa; but Deputy Weiz, ai Reach turned the tables upon hlm bY stating lhat Mr. Wright had songht bis influence to get the appohntment as ont cf tht val- uators. In Scugog there is usually a ma- j ority of i fer tither Graham or Ham, . and when a ratepayer dits on either aide the other holds the reeveshiP until sncb time, open system of voting la ont muet have used the ballot. Men Who used ta go sud vote in every instance before thet ballot came iuta ust wiIl now let the 'offices va- cant before they wil vote to ffît them. It is a mest remarkable thing that aur sup- posed-to-be eulightened school boards *are the last oses ta give up titis niast back- ward system, aud it îs little wonder that tht people of Port Perry'have loat all faitit lu tht work of a board whlich dots the most important part of its work-<det- tions-by s method Uow long discarded by every democratlc people. Messrs.,Dr.-ï Clemens, J. W. Davis and A. Ailln wem' retuned, with Win. Bond a good fO*ftht.
