RRR Emmy PORT PERRY, JULY 9, 1874. The olectors of this province-- much to the credit of their honesty and intelligence -- have become heartily sick of Grit stupidity and misrale,and have made up their minds to stamp it out on the first oppor-- tunity which presents itself. The moment any one of them comes to the surface he is dispatched at once, The good work ot extermination commenced with Edgar in South Oxford ; and now Dumble of West Peterboro has been exterminated; in fact the moment one of them puts his head above the surface of the po litical waters he is decapitated with- out ceremony. At tho election for a member of Abe Legislative Assembly of Ontario fio represent West Peterboro, which was held on June 30th, Mr. Scott, a worthy Conservative, determined to retleem the riding and took the field | against Mr. Dumble, an out spoken Grit, who was backed by all the in- fluence which the Government could bring to bear in his favor. The Grits too, did everything in their -power, fair and foul, to elect their| : "man ; but it was no use, the perpiel I have already been too severely bitten fby 'Grit misrule to listen to any of ithe blandishments of the faction.-- So they placed Mr Scott at the head «of the polls and kept rim there.-- His majority was not large, but it would have been larger bad it not been for the fighting and interruption of a lot of rowdies who did their best to burst the election as soon as they found that their candidate had no no chance. The wailing and lamen-- tation in the Grit camp islamentable to Tisten to, and desperate efforts are being put forth by the c1acked organs with a view to preventing this signal defeat from becoming a rout, but it is of no use their doom is written and -down they must go. -cording to their well known tactics, ithey will seek to shift the disgrace *1of rowdyism from their own shoul- «ders to those of their epponents ; but that game is now played out, their attempt to do so would only make bad worse as no one' would believe them, They must " grin and bear it." The more reasonable amongst them must perceive that a few more years -of Grit rule would irretrievably ruin .the country. Of course, ac- A weighty responsibility rests on wvery legislative body and the 'wéiglit-of the responsibility is inthe | direct ratio of the importance of the matters at stake and the disastrious effects which would follow reckless management of the public affairs.-- We sometimes foolishly imagine that it is much easier to legislate for a township or a village than itisto leg- islate for a county or a province, but .a.moment's consideration will show 'us fhe unsoundness of the assump- tion. Do we not see men holding their position year after year and Parliament after Parliament who would be hooted away from a township or village Counc] board. Especially is it necessary in the earlier stages of a municipality that the utmost caution and" legislative ability be displayed by the Councils of a rising village or town; a few corporation' Itis-not enough that rulers should satisfy themselves | with preventing the 'incorporation ' from retrograding, néither is it | malignity of the granny and its | my be appreciated at its true value, gud [that people may know that the trem- | incognito, are not worth minding. _| promulgating ils accustomed slan- doubtful benefit of having the agri- cultural show among us once in a couple of years. This investment may be all right. and if we had no other use for our funds the rate pay- ers might well say go on, gentlemen, and perhaps they may say soas it is. But we believe the more judi- cious of the rate-payers will feel in- clined to question the wisdom of the expenditure just at this time. About twice the amount which would be required to purchase and complete the Fair Grounds will complete the Cartwright Bridge, and we believe that our village daddies might first sit down and consider whether a bridge connecting us with Cartwright, and shortening the dis- tance between us and that fine town- ship by some five or six miles, cost- ing some six thousand dollars, would not be a much more profitable in- vestment than to pay some $3,000 for a driving park, and the pleasure of seeing a fat ox or two coming to the show every second year, 'We would call the serious attention of the rate payers to this matter ere itis to late, ere the money has been ! expended on the grounds, which will | condor the construction of the bridge | | time to come. The question with the an impossibility for a considerable rate payers is which of the two in. { vestments wi'l best forward the pros- erity of the village, which will do the greater good and secure the The one or the oth- er must be abandoned for the pres- richer returns. ent and 1f the bridge is to give way the chances are that it may never again come up ; and we leave it with the ratepayers to cl.oose which they will have and which they will aban- don.

We have no desire here to discuss the merits of the two investments. -- We simply wish to call the attention of the ratepayers to a matter which deeply concerns them, the issue of which will tell most affectually on the future of the village. ( We ask our Council to call a public meeting of the villagers without de- and have this matter publicly and fairly discussed by the ratepay- ers before they are asked to saddle themselves with an additional $7,- 000 of debt. -- The Standard Granny Burst at Last. Deacon Neddy, the Scape-Goat of the Standard Lie Factory, has had another almost fatal attack of Lis periodical lunacy, he has been rav- ing and slobbering round the vil'age for several weeks past. The poor creature, for the best of all reasons, is no way dangerous, it can hurt no one; but it has all the malignity of a fiend ; and it is only its imbecility which prevents it from being dan- gerous. Being Seape-Goat of the Lie Factory no truth is expected from it, but lying like every other vice as its degrees, and the poor snivel- ling granny never gets above the lowest and blackest stratum. The granny forges the lies and gets its equally worthless scribblers to write them. Tha wretched poltroohs having a wholesome dread of the OBSERVER before their eyes,and being rendered furious by our prosperity, seek by such means as are known only to the Jastardly coward, to take a stab at us in the dark. Re- garding that filty rag, the Standard, a disgrace to the community, we, | months ago, forbade its ever being | brought into our office, and we had made up our mind *o let the poor a its worthless scribblers severely alone. Our readers know that the granny and its lie factory have been entirely ignored by us for several months past, and we had no intention ofever again soilingour pa- per withthe name of either. Still itisa duty we owe to tho pubhe to remind 'them now atd again of the base seribblers so that their raving may bling curs who are writing under their natural garb, the cowards We only learned the other day the lig fac had been for several weeks, week after woek, against the OBsERVER; in fact 'were shown a copy of its ravings last week in which the combined Tiiserable crew joher {More Lacrosse on Dominion Day. was the grinning granny's placing over the rubbish: " We wish it to be distinctly understood that ut we do not hold ourselves responsible, c. Who on earth ever supposed the granny was responsible for any thing ? No lunatie is eyer respon--- sible. Everybody knows that it could not write 'a line to- save' its worthless neck from the halter; but the crone is responsible for scape- goating all the trash which the mis- erable seribblers please to write.-- O! no! the crone was not responsi: ble further than standing grinning all gver even to the seat of its pantlets, while the miserables were! writing the stuff. Our readers need not be afraid of our allowing the granny to figure in our columns to any extent, we will ouly give it a gentle cuff or two now and again to keep it within bounds and prevent it making itself too ridiculous. Getting Alarmed. The more than doubtful policy of the present Ottawa Government is producing its legitimate fruits in the heart of the British Empire and causing those papers which have the interests of Canada at heart to sound the notof alarm ere it is too tate.--| One of the leading London papers | says :-- "The policy of the present Canadian Government is aiming at secession to the United States." We should like to know where any | other conclusion is possible under the circumstances. | Struck by / Lightning. At this season of the year when thunderstorms are frequent and un- protected property exposed to the devastating effects of the Lightning. stroke, how important is 1t that par- ties should take advantage of the protection which science has placed within their reach and thus protect not only their property but the lives of the inmates, which is of infinitely more importance than the safety ot the property. But it' must be re- memered that not every rod stuck on the top of our: buildings is a protection. Our buildings bristle from end to end with may iron rods and glistening points and may after all be more exposed than if v. Like the beacon fire on the dark night which con- ducts the assailing foe to the camp of they had not any. the adversary, so may improper rods or even proper rods not properly isolated, attract the destructive fluid and thereby destroy the building and endanger the lives of the inmates. -- But rods of proper inaterizl, scien- tifically put up and properly isoiuod are perfect protection both to the building and the lives of the inmates Our readers will find by a refer- ence to our advertising columns that Messrs. Robson & Co, Prince Albert, supply just such rods as are safe and they know how to put them up to secure protection ; and this is all the public require. Durrmins' Creex, July 4.--The 'house be longing to Wm Thompson, on the 3rd con. near Duffin's Creek, was struck by lightning last night and with its - contents entirely consunicd. The family were providentially absent, having gone to a pic. nic, Meine. July 4 --About noon the heaviest thunderstorm known here for some time broke over this village. The Methodist Episcopal church was the only building in- jured. It was struck both in the steeple and the chimney. The electric fluid seemed to 'have passed out at the side, tearing oft clap- boards, and breaking some lamps in the of the church. ( Storm. "The stormof Tuesday last go far as we'have learned, though pretty severe, has done little 'or no material damage. We met it in Brock with all its fury, it was emphatically short and sharp,the lightning. flashes and thunder- peals were almost continuous and simultan- eous, while the rain appeared to fall in un- broken sheets and the wind made spot of all that came in its way, So far as we could see or learn no particular damage was done.-- Crops were pretty well flattened but these will all rise again, fences were but they can be set up; newly repaired Yoads} bave been badly cut up and in passing along we found that several trees had been Llown across the highway, : We were pleased to see that Cannington is about to add a hardware establishment to her accommodations.

Agricultural Society met at the town hall Port Perry, on Saturday ath inst., the Pres- ident in the chair, members all present. -- The minutes of the previous meeting 'were read and approved. Tne matter of the show grounds for the present year coming up Mr Bigelow stated that the council of the corporation of Port Pér- ry had determined on securing show grounds ! tor the coming show, but they were not in a condition now to cnter into any positive agreement as there still was the contingency of the by.law carrying, which isto be sub- mitted to the ratepayers about three weeks hence; but provided the by-law were defeat~ ed, of which there is no liklihgod, grdunds might be got for holding the shew, and the town hall could be had for a floral hall, The directors would not entertain: that idea for a moment. Mr Forman said that & very convenient show ground could bé bought of the old Houck farm, now owned by the Union Avenue Co'y--five or six acres could'be had there and that he considered would do. He said that he would scriouly object to having the show grounds so situated that parties would require to cross the railway track | in going to and coming from the grounds as this would be neither safe nor comfort- able: Mr. Gould safd that if suitable grounds cannot be had at Port Perry he would recom- mend {aking the show to Uxbridge ; he ful certain that no other place in the Riding would draw such a crowd or collect so much at the gates as Uxbridge, Mr Forman says the taking of the show to Uxbridge is unreasonable and would not be allowed; in the event of Port Perry failing 0 obtain grounds Prince Albert's Grounds are still to be had with every accommodation they ever had. Mr Bigelow withdrew to cousult with the members of council. ' On motion of Mr Forman it was resolved to throw the shui open to the competion of the--Dominion. The board then entered upon the consid- | eration of the prizelist. The zeal of the members to have every thing just so caused them to lose control of their oratorical pow- ers so that about eight was the minimum number of those who spoke at once. The cattle came in for an unusual share of atten- tion. After several changes, modificatious and additions, the prize list as cmended was confirmed, The charge at the gate was on motion of Mr Forman raiscd from 15cts last: year to 20 cts for this. 4 Messrs Bigelow, Adams and Davis now entered the hall when Mr Bigelow in the name of the corporation made the following 'offer. That the corperation would furnish suitable show grounds containing twelve acres of land within the corporation the same to be enclosed by & close board fence ! 8 feet high, and a hall within it as large as the Prince Albert drill shed, and that the corporation would give the society. the use of these for the purposes of the show for $75 with the understanding that the eerporation may rent to parties grounds for booths with- 'in the 1 , binding th 1 no spirituous liquors 'shall 'be sold 'at said booths. Mr Bigelow urged the reasonable ness of the demand on the ground of the large expense which the grounds would cost 'the corporation in getting them prepared. The board would not listen to this propos: ition. Mr Forman 'moves that the soviety grant $100 to assist the corporation in the grounds, "Mt Bigelow urged thé advamtages which the society would reap fronf the favorable the show and asked fo have $150 dopa and bind the society to hold every alternated shos at Port Perry fora period of ten years wheth- er it were to the advantage of the society that it should be held there or not.

Mr Hylands as Commissioner on the town line between Carwright and Manvers repoted that the work had Leen completed.

Bunt for $10 for build. ing a culvert in the 11th con, Mr Wm Baird applied for a grant of $20 for gravel on the 3rd con, Mr Speiran applied for a grant on the church hill, Vroomanton. Mr Brethour said that in years past some dissatisfaction--and in some cases not with- out reason--had been expressed regarding the manner in which some appropriations had been expended and a spirit of jealousy ; had to a certain extent manifested itself in some quarters, and with a view to remove all cause of jealousy and secure the faithful ex. penditute of the appropriations he meant to throw the responsibility entirely on the coun- cil by making them commsisioners for the expending ot all the appropriations, The members of the council will know by ex- amination of the road for which an appro- priation is made how much it ovght to take to do the job, and they will be carcful to see that no contract will be accepted which asks more than the work is worth, and if parties living in sections where roads require re- pairing will not undertake to do the work at as low a figure as it can be done it shows appropriation may very well be withheld. -- He would suggest that the Reeve and Messrs. Shier and Cowan be commissioners to expend the appropriations for the north, and Mr St John and himself would take charge of the appropriations for the south, x Mr Cowan would prefer that a committee of the council beappointed by ballot to take charge of the appropriations. The Reeve approved of the menihers of council being made responsible for the prop- er expenditure of the appropriations, but did not appaove of the line of demarkation be- tween the North and South, the council should only know the township as a whole; but he did not consider that there wag any necessity for large appropriations this year, and he did not expect that a large amount should be asked ; and whatever roads are re-- ally bud they will require to be repaired no matter in which part of the township they may Le. Mr Brerthhour said he had several reasons for not desiring large appropriations this year, and one reason is the great inequality « wssessd so much higher than ger share of taxes will fall upon the south than it Las any right to bear still there are certain appropriations which must be nade. Here the speaker, pointed to several places Mr Shier says he had always been opposed to reckless expenditure and he approves of the plan suggested by Mr Brethour. the north a OF A I TE vee .
