Ot'late years the township of which he was a resident ll.l(l not been the recipient of this distinction. for in the past thirty- tiye years only one ol its representatives had been electol to occupy the Warden', chair, and in its whole history it had only twice rot-owed the coveted honor. The action (f the Council would, theretore, not only be appreciated by himself but I also by his constituency. The Warden congratulated the members on the im- ,proved conditions under which they met. l, During the past year there had been a l marked improvement in the manufactur- t ing, industrial and agricultural industries lot' the county. A more hopetul teeling iperyaded allchusess of society. Not only had there been an improyement in the i crops but also a marked advancement in the prices of produce, which had given ti I general impetus to trade. Mr. Richardson Textirehsed the limo that this was but the turning point into it new era of prosperity. and trusted that it'tho past years oi de- 'lll'cbbillll had not added to our wealth they _ that] at least turied to our wisdom, so that, the Counctl would administer the affairs) ot the county with prudence, forethought, i and frugal-ty.

The Warden also directed 3 i the attention of the Couueal to the amour-1 'ngmg reports of the analysis ot the sugar 1 1 beets, which had been so yttyiuetoryyys,; to warrant starting the industry. lie trusted that it would he estahiished in the near future, thereby giving a new source of income to the farmers and adding to the wmlth of the County and Province. Mr. Richardson concluded his remarks by adding that. he trurted that the Council would transact with care and despatch the business which would be brought before them, and by so doing benefit the country. The Council resumed business sharp at 10 o'cloek with Walden 1'dehardson in the chair.
