PORT PERRY, JULY 30, 1874. The by-law for the issue of deben- tures for $7,000 on the credit of the Corporation, was submitted to 'd vote of the ratepayers on Saturday "last, and was voted down. The electors in this have mani- fosted a. spirit of = independence worthy of them; such a spirit as will tend to convince the village ~ fathers that while they (the elec- tors) are prepared to second their efforts in providing for every legiti- mate want of the corporation, they are not prepared to. squander, funds which are so much required for : legitimate improvements. In the first place a plain and dis- tinct statement of the affairs of the eorporation should be laid before the ratepayers ere they are again asked to vote one dollar more in way of debentures. There are al- ready debentures to the amount of $22,000 hanging over jthe corpora-- tion. There have been $3,000 re- .ceived from the Municipal Loan Fund distribution only a few weeks ago; that, it appears, has been all absorbed and not a cent of the $22, 000 paid ; and on the back 'of this for the council to come down with an additional $7,000 without deign~ I ing the first word of explanation shows a little too much of the auto- crat. It is not enough for the Reeve or any other member of council to have in his pocket a haphazard statement of the amount likely to be requir- ed. On the contrary a carefully got up statement should be submited, showing why the actual expenditure has so very much exceeded the es timated cost of the public buildings. The Reeve stated at a public meet- ing at the close of the past year that the $3,000 coming from the loan fund should wipe off the 'entire debt on the town hall. Now the $3, | 000 have been received and still we | are told that a large amount remains to be yet paid on the ha'l, Tax pay- ing, like every other, Luzury, hag its legitmate bourds, beyond which it cannot be carried with safety. -- As we view it, the council did not act wisely in ever submitting such a by-law to the inelligent rate pay- ers of Port Perry, and its rejection by them furnishes another proof that the rate payers have the best intor- ests, present and future, of the cor- poration at heart, and are determin. ed to guard these interests with the utmost care. Had the debentures for other $7,000 been saddled on the corporatson this would have made a total'of $29,000, tho annual interest and sinking fund instalment having to bomet yearly. This amount for thé first year would be $4,670 (in- terest paid half yearly,) which to- gether with the current expense of the corporation would amount to something handsome--a litle too much to be comfortable. Some of the go-it-blinds may just be foolish enough to blame those who have defeated the by-law, and charge them with creating an unnecessary alarm: As well blame the mariner who detects the leak in the ship and gives warning in time while the danger of foundering may be avert ed. The men who voted nay on the by-lay would be found, as they bave & 'to the nomination paper ting such person and placing said nomination paper in the hands of the returning officer some {ime between twelve and two o'clock .of the day of nominations are all that Tis necessary in the nomination of any candidate. Ofcourse any other ten electors by going through a sim- ilar process may nominate another candidate, and any other ten may nominate another and so on. There is noliklihood of the number of nom- inations being carried too far us every one nominated must' give his written consent to bis imomination and mast place $50 in the hands of the returning - officer, so thay none but those havifig "some reasonable prospect of being eletod will suffer themselves to be nominated. TE A Pleasant Drive. One would go" a long way ere he could find a more pleasant drive than that along the centro of the township of, Scugog. Parties who drove to the Indian entertainment, on Friday last, must have enjoyed the drive-- we found it exceedingly pleasant; a first class road with fields of waving grain on each side, an extra exuberant crophastening to maturity and promising -the inhabi- tants an early and handsome re- ward for their sweat and toil. Tle agreeable smell of the now-mewn hay wafted pleasantly along. The superior stone residence of Joseph Reader, Eaq., is placed neatly on the summit of the hill overlooking the Scugog Like, and having a full view of the prosperous and row hand- some village of Port Perry as it nestles in the valley and on the ris- ing ground beyond. A little far- ther to the east the beautiful new brick residegee of Mr. May gives an airiof thrift and comfort to the en- tire scene. In driving north the island we haye the snug dwellings, the thriving orchards and fruitful fields hastening on to throw their golden treasure into the laps of the husbandmen. We find that the magnificent farm of our townsman, John Adams, Esq., "isstll undergoing important improve- ments; it is being. thoroughly en- closed and divided up by substantial, well made board fences and earth works, and bids fair, at wo distant day, from the quality of the land, the superior buildings, first class fences, and skillful cultiyation, to become one of the finest farms in the Conuty, and will go a good way in inducing better farming amongst all who see it. We were pleased to observe, as we passed, one of the best and most necessary pieces of work done on the road which we have seen for a long time. Darties who have driven along that road will re- member that break-neck trap ofa place at the bridge in the 9th con. approached both from the north and south by a steep, precipitous hill while the bridge between was a genuine pitfall. This state of things has been entirely changed, both hills bave been cut down and the bollow filed, and a capital bridge made rendering that hitherto dan- gerous spot quite as pleasant and safe to drive over as any other part of the road. The job must have cost a considerable sum, but it has been well invested and js a credit to all concerned. We are afraid however that the bridge may be found too (narrow to stand the effects of win- ter'; the incline on each side is too (rapid to stand the effects of the ha t-------- ee an 4th day of September next, for the| The Indian Entertainment ¥ : purpose of Revising and Correcting the List of Yoters tor the township of Reach for the present yoar. "Persons having any complaint to make against said Voters' List will require to make the same in writing to the township Clerk, on or before the 9th day of; August, that being the limit of the time allowed by law, that is within 30 days after the time at which said list was posted up in the office of said clerk. An Important Enterprise. In these days when the important article of brick is being soextensively used in the construction of our build. ings, when every building of the least pretentions mist have either solid brick walls or walls faced with brick, it is a matter of very great Ostablished in its midst a factory wherein the best quality of Bricks are manufactured. This is important as well for avoiding the great labor and expense of hauling from a dis- tance as for being certain at all times of obtaining a supply of re- liable brick. : Mr Neil McArthur has supplied this want in this locality in "the establisnment of a brick factory near Borelia capable ot supplying all de- mands in that line, We had the pleasure of visiting 'his works the other day and were much pleased to find this highly important industry being driven with an activity pleasing to notices by quite a numberof active hands who seemed thoroughilyto uuderstand their business. The clay of which the brick is made appears admirably adapted for the purpose while the kiln which has just been burned is composed of really first tlass brick. Oshowa Female College. - . The Rev. A. B. Demill, the esteem- ed and indetatigable promoter of the Oshawa Female College, passed through this place on Tuesday las The enterprise is progressing, though perhaps not quite so rapidly as its sanguine promoter would like, still quite as rapidly as could be ex- pected under the circumstances.-- We hope to see the noble efforts of the rev. gentleman, in due time, crowned with success in the estab. lfshing of an institution which shall send forth to the world large num- educated, morally, intellectually and physically, and thus fitted to become the honored mothers of a virtuous and noble generation, who mn their turn may be the honored instruments in achieving for Canada a high degree of distinction in the fields of science, arts, and manufac-- tures, but above all in industry, and virtue.

The place selected was the Indian woods in a beautiful spot carpeted by nature's rich- est velvet, the surroundings tapestried with the gorgeous foliage of the majestic trees and the glorious heaven for a canapy. The stand for the speakers and the choir was neatly got tp and proved very comfor- table. | When the hour for commencing had ar- rived a very large number of people had | assembled from Scugog and the surrounding municipalities, num! from 'all parts of Reach, froth 'Mariposa and Port Perry. Rev. 8. C. Philp took the chair. On the platform were Mr. Johnson the Indian chief, Revds Messrs S. C. Phalp, Seur., Percy, Pickering," Dennis, Mr Platten the | Reeve of the "fownship, Mr Chancy Johnson | brother of the Chief, Mr J. C. Pilkey, and the Editor of the Opserven. The indian choir was also on the platform; | the members present were Mossrs, Wm. | Johnson, lsase Johnson, Joseph Johnson {and Chas. McCew, Misses Rebecca Johnson | Ruth Johnson, Mary Ann Johnson and | Elizabeth Sonly. ip | After singing by the choir, Rev Mr Percy | engaged in prayer. Cab | Mr Platten was the first to address the company, expressing the pleasure he ex- ! perienced in meeting with his Indian friends | an other friends who had come to take part in the entertainment. We then had the pleasure of talking a little to our friends. : | Rev Mr Pickering was the nextto come | forward. He spoke with considetable encr- | gy, dwelling upon the pleasant prospect of | the spread of the gospel atitongst the Indian ! brethren, and with what delight he ministers | amongst them in holy things. { Rev Mr Percy was next called. He spoke { well, and his subject was well chosen for the occasion--the tendency of the christian re- ! ligion to create harmony and love amongst all classes and conditions of men, His re- marks were well received. Rev. Mr Dennis followed at some length | on the power of the Gospel. f Rev. 8. C. Philp, Sen. favored the com- : | pany with a general statemens of the resul ta [ot the Wesleyan Missions amongst the | Indians, Mr Chancy Johnson, on belug called, | made some happy remarks, expressing his | pleasure in all that he had heard, and his | Bratifcation at meeting with so many friends | not only from the township of Scugog but | also from the surrounding localities, | Hehasa difficulty of expressing himself | in English, still there is more in the natur- | flow of his idens though imperfectly express- ! ed than in all those windy harangues,, a combination of set, oft repealed" phrases but | barren of instruction, only playing on the i nervous system by creating a momentary excitement, Mr Pilkey wasnext called. He dwelt chiefly on the advisability and importancy of training ugghe Indian youth and sending | them forth as missionaries amengst their ! | brethren. | Of the proceedings of the day hovever the | singing of the Indian choir was perhaps the most interesting part ; the singing was capit- al and we got a generous supply of it. The ! choi1 is compored of cightas intelligent look- ing young people as one could wish to see ; they keep excellent timeand sing sweetly. A hearty vote of thanks was given to the choir. The fact that the worthy superintendent of the Circuit occupied the chair is a suffici- ent guarantee that the important duties of that office were conducter in such & manner #9 Betlicl B C Sunday School held their anniversdry on 'Sunday and Monday, 26th and 27th inst, There were two services on Sabbath Rey: Mr Fulcher conduct ing the morning services and Rev G. Dennis officiatingin the afternoon There were large gatherings at each service ; {the subjects chosen were highly appropriate and well handled. Morday was one of the finest days we joyment. The services were held on the the finest groves which one could enter, The business of Monday commenced with the service of tea, the school children, we should judge, to the number of sixty or over first marched from the stand to the tables where a splendid tea awaited them and one would go a long way ere he would see a more pleasant sight, a more intelligent, well conducted, firer lot of children as they sat around those tables, their eyes fairly spark-- ling as the active waiters plied them with a variely of dainties." When the children had got served, «he grown-up people began to file in and it was not till the fourth re- newal of tables that all could be accommod- ated. The tea and all its surroundings were all that could be disired, reflecting the highest it up, while the liberality of the supply of good things evinced the generosity of the good folks of the neighborhood, Tea over, the company got seated around the stand and the second division of the proceedings were commenced by singing from the choir and prayer from the Rev. Mr. Clark. J ' T. Courtice, Exq., being chairmm, opened proceedings with a pleasing address on the Sabbath School, its rapid progress and ity great importance, Rev Mr Fulcher examincd the school on Scripture biography, chiefly on the history of David. . The School by their good order, ready answers and general appearance, were aiike creditable to themselves, their teachers and their parents. Rev Mr. Clark. Leing called, gave an el- oquent address, begining at the cradle and tracing life through its varigns stages : urg-- the importance of the careful training of the young. Rev. Mr Hart was the next to take ihe stand. He gave an excellent addvess confin- ing his remarks chiefly to the Sabbath School institution ; the necessity for converted teacher§%o that the cenversion of the child- ren may be their constant aim, Rev Mr Ay next came forward. The great Decessity for the avoidance of vicious, and the cultivation of virtuous habits in carly life was set forth with much ecarncst- ness and with capital effect. We bad the pleasure of talking a little to the people, A choice selection of the finest music was given by a part of the Prince Albert B, C. Church Choir--Miss Harper, Miss Bambary ana Miss Isaac Davis aud Me Wm Clemence. A loose platform in the bush is not the best place for disconrsing music; but the music furnish- ed on this occasion was really excellent and was highly appreciated by all present. Rev W Kinley, the worthy superintendent of the circuit, was actively engaged in keep- ing matters trimmed up. The worthy chairman® performed his duties with an case and compasure which never fail in securing the chief aims of every chairman, an orderly meeting and all the time properly employed. All cone raed have reason to congratulate themselves on the success of the occasion. -- The committee preformed their duties, About 5 p. m,, Tea wae annnouerd and a general march was made to the tables. On arrivigg within the enclosure we found two long tables, fairly loaded with such things as people wish to eat, but we had to satisfy ourselves with viewing them ata respectfyl distanc?; for already the two long tables, ac- commodating about one hundred were filled up. But with the exercise of a little patience all wereaccommodated in their turn. Every thing was got up in thc most creditable manner, andthere was an abundance of ) everything.

At the suggestion of the Reeve the matter was left over till the next meeting of Coun. cil. Mr. Huckins' account for building side walks was again taken up. The Reeve stated that the Council did not object to paying the account for building the walk, but the cxtras should be paid by the parties concerned and should be collected from them. : Mr. Huckins said it would be awkard for him to go and demand payment from the several parties who had had extra work done; as it was the corporation and not they who had employed him. It was the corporation he had got to deal with ; it was the duty of the corporation to look to these parties for the amounts for which they are liable. On motion of Mr. Adams, Mr. Huckins' account was ordered to be referred to the Street Commissioner, and the Reeve was in- structed to grant his crder in favor of Mr. Hhuckins for whatever amount the Commis- sioner may determine. Mr. Sturt again brought to the notice of the Council the matter of his ewe which had been killed by dogs placing the damage at §8.
