Under the direction of the Reeve, Mr. Chas. Silverthorne the council is very effective in its work. The Reeve has his eagle eye upon all the details of the Township business. Conâ€" siderable time is spent by him in gaâ€" thering this matter. He comes to the council prepared to carry on the work and he knows what is required, thereâ€" fore he acts and acts wisely.

The government of the Township has been put into very good hands. The rink in Mount Dennis is great, yes, it‘s grand, & The lads and the lassies go round hand in hand, With the bloom ‘of good. health on their fair, fresh young faces, Intermingled, with the charm of the Three Perfect Graces. May the rink in Mount Dennis be quite a success, And the crowds going there may they never grow less; The proprietors, they do the best that they can To give satisfaction to both maid and man, The gent with refreshments will caâ€" ter to all Who for hot drinkf or pop or gum care to call, At a reasonable sum his time he‘ll employ, So that good things to eat we all may enjoy. Support home amusements, let us all join in, For to fail to do so would indeed be a sin, Let all for the prizes on the first of January to win, So with the New Year a good sport to begin. To the winners of the prizes all praise now is due, And we â€"say to each other, don‘t you wish it was youâ€" Of course we don‘t envy them, no, that is not our way, But we‘ll be there on time next Fancy Carnival Day. fs" The jolly old clown, how did we laugh at his artful ways. We hope his spirits will keep good for many happy days, And we do think how well would look upon his manly form, Together with his smiling face, "Old John Bull‘s Uniform." â€" How sorry the proprietors were that the ice was notâ€"so fine, : They‘d rather have King Frost these days than sunny summer‘s clime, But I‘ve heard say if all goes well and everyone is happy, Next year will see a covered rink,band stand, and all that‘s natty, So let us when the weather‘s bad inâ€" stead of getting nettled, Keep smiling like the jolly clown, for next year will be settled * ANONYMOUS. After the election for warden the next big matter to come up will be the proposed grant‘of $250,000 to the Toronto and York (Patriotic Society. It is not thought that this will be very seriously opposed, though opinions are divided as to the manner of payâ€" ment.. The former grant was for a quarter of a million and the need is said to be greater now. As to who will ®be the incoming warden nobody will hazard a guess, but everything points/to one of the liveliest fights ever held in the county chamber. It looks now as though three men, Charles Willoughby, reeve of West Gwillimbury; J. G. Cornell, of Scarboro, and Leonard Wallace of Woodbridge, will be in the running, and all are safd to have a strong folâ€" lowing When the county council meets in the latter part of January five new men will appear, made up of the folâ€" towing: In Markham Township, Abâ€" ner Summerfeit, merchant of Unionâ€" ville, replaces George B. Padget, the latter taking the office of reeve., In New Toronto Charles Lovejoy replaces George Longhouse as reeve, while in the Village of Stouffville Dr. Sangâ€" ter, who retired from the reeveship and goes back into the council/as an ordinary member, will be succeeded by J. H. Ratclif{. John T. Saigeon of Maple, who nosed out Alex. Cameron, comes to the county council asâ€"first deputy reeve of Vaughan. The surâ€" prise of the county this year was the voluntary retirement of "Scotty" Mcâ€" Nair from the reeveship of Vaughan. The fifth new man is J. L. Gibson, reeve of Holland Landing. The personnel of the York County Council=will not be very materially changed by the vote of Monday, though in some of the municipalities the entire councils have been reâ€" turned by acclamation, while in those where an election was held the conâ€" tests, though remarkably keen, reâ€" sulted in comparatively few changes. In Agincourt there was an entirely new board of police commissioners, and in Unionville practically the same conditions prevail, only one of last year‘s board coming up for reâ€"elecâ€" tion.
