The several sums are so small that it would absorb a large portion of the amount to collect them; we would there- fore esteem it as a favor if parties would remit without ing called upon. Certain con- templated changes in this office render it neccessary that our accounts should all be squared at this time. On the Brink of a Precipice. That the raller of the Dominion end Ontario Governments now oc- cupies the unenviable position of standing on the very brink of a political precipice with the odds against Lim of being driven over will, we think, be admitted by any one knowing anything of his sur- roundings. He stes Lis somewhat short-lived politica! absolutism being assailed on all sides without hope of deliverance. So long as the Conservatives without the fortress were the only foes against whom he any had to contend there wasa chance for a prolonged struggle for existence ; but now that insubbordination ha: manifested itself in a most threaten ing form within the fortress Globula tyranny begins to totter to its fall. -- That such men as Blake and Smitl, sat within the Grit citadel! with fold- od arms in sullen silence wygs bad enough, but now that they have actually taken up arms, demoraliz ing the Grit camp, drawing oft the best "and most active pat of the forces and openly declaring rebellion against the Dictator and bis crea- tures, the end cannot be far distant. Tle cunning Dictator fearing Blake's open defection did "every- thing possible to avoid a rup'ure, winked at the open and oft repeated snubs which Blake gave him; any thing in fact by which he might stave off the open hostility of such a man as E. Blake. Now, however, that Blake has crossed the Rubicon aud taken up arms to dethrone the political despot he must be dealt with ; but he is treated more in the way of a foe which may be won than one to be subdued, a magnanimous foe whe may be won over by coaxing but one whose opposition is to le dreaded and avoided at any price. Not so, however, with Blake's brother in arms--Goldwin Smith-- The Blake and Smith parties have uot yet fairly combined nor appar- || ently come to any understanding as to their mode and marner of wa: fare Such an understanding, the Dictator ks, would wind up his careerand be is accordingly making desperate efforts to prevent this contingency, Le has turned all the guvs in the for- tress against the Smith party with a view to their destruction ere the Blake column joins them. TLeG lobe since Blake's declaration of hostilities bas put on a stiff upper lip, brought out his life guards with their silver and golden weapons and fought round and round Mr. Blake, with uo idea of irritating Lim but expecting to dazzle him back to the service; but this has enstranged hiw all the more and so disgusted him that he has declared against the ty- rant. The Dictator is treating the rebellion of Mr. Smith in a very dif ferent manner, he has taken the field in person against him and brought < Voters' Ter. | er's List for the township of Brock was terminated on Friday last and | we think that the circumstancos will | bear us out In asserting that in no| other township has the officials been more unfairly dealt with us fur as mean, untruthful ' and unjustifiable criticism is concerned. The town- ship of Brock like all other town- ships throughout the Province was assessed according to the practice which has prevailed since assessing first began in the province--a two. third valuation or thereabouts. -- | Young men living at home and assist ing in working the farm were, after | coming of age, puton the assessment roll in some way or otherin order to secure them a vote---the principle | might not be according to the strict letter of the law, but it was not Lat variance with either the principles of honesty or equity. Here is a far- mer with property worth say ton or twelve thousand dollars and only having one vote while partios having properties worth say $400 have their couple of votes, and if the farmer had his son assessed with Kim on the property thougi he did not give iim a deed of any portion of his inheritance there could belittle room tor cavil. Right or wrong however the system went on from year to without complaint. While the as-- sessors were at work making the late assessment the Ontario Govern. ment in their usual pitch-fork style introduced avd cgrried through a measure 80 amending the assessment law that printed copies of the voters' list shouli be submitted to "the scrutiny of the electors for a given time, and that any elector finding one or more names on that list which had no legal claim to a vote, had the privilege of appealing to the County judge to have said name or names struck off the list. But as- sessors knowing nothing of the new law when they commenced their works went on as in years past; it was expected that no advantage wonld be taken of the change im the law for the present Year, and the Conservatives of Brock made up their minds not to disturb the list, expecting, no doubt, that the Grits would do the same. But they soon found their mistake for the" Grits expecting to steal n march had ap- peals lodged against some 128 Con - ervative votes ere the Conservauves were aware of what was going on.-- The Grits appear to have gone in hap-hazavd and cut off the names right and left. The Conservatives finding what the Grits had done went to wark and appealed against a few (20) of the bad Grit votes, and and here the matter should have rested till the Court sat; but this nN vould not suit. the dastardly purpos- es of some miserable scribblers who wish to air their wretched cribbling in any obscure, unscrupulous sheet which would give it a place. The nameless coward first attacked the Assessor, charging him with fraudu- lent assessing and of being influenc-- od and made to do wrong by the members of Counzil. The assessors justly despised the raving of then maligners and calmly awaited the action of the Court as the best justifi- cation of the course they had pursued. The utter contempt of the assessors ey the' conspiracy.

Be that as it way the Grits got the inside. track it; of their conservative fellow townsmen whether by jockeying or by fair riding they know best themselves ; in the end - however they came off second best.

There is not one 'amongst all who raised this unnecessary and expen- sive rumpus but knows as well as he knowg his own name that there is no other munici- pality within the Province whose business is more economically managed, or more efficiently conducted than that of the muni. cipality of Brock, and no officials could more carefully or more faithfully protect the in- terests of a municipality than the Council and other officers of the corporation of Brock now do, Of the 128 appeuls lodged by the Grits against the Conservative names ou the voters' list only 7 were sustained. The rull'ng of the Court as fur as refusing t> disturb names found on the list in the absence of the. parties appealed: against un- less good cause was shown for cutting off said names Las been the subject of partizan and unjustifiable criticism. That any other rulling would be unjust to respondents and unreasonable in itself must be patent to any one giving the matter a moments considera- tion, we believe can admit of no shadow of | doubt.

We have heard par- ties speading themselves considerably on this subject; they point to Division and other Courts and tell us that should the defendant refuse to appear judgment entered against him--so far so good, but these par- ties appear to forget that should the plaintiff refuse to appear he is non-suited, This cor- responds exactly with the iulling of the Court in the above cases. In the absence of the respondent, if the appellant was not pre- pared to show cause why the name should be struck off then the Court could not dis- 80 irritated the miserable scribblers ' turb the name--this isexactly similar to the that in the blindness of their rage | plaintiff being non-suited.

The council could well afford to despise the silly threats of their nameless revilers and they too were willing to leave their acts as a court of revision, to the investigation of the court. This continued contempt rendered the re- vilers mad and they now take a fling at the township clerk making him the but of their silly -twaddle. The Clerk only laughed at their imbecility and let them rave away, When the court came to be held the members of the court of revision were present to defend their course if any one dare to assail it, and thus ufford the rovilers an opportunity of making good their threats, but the backbiters dave not show face snd no attempt was made to question | struck o ff, the name will be struck off not- | withstanding the absence of the respondent; | tis is similer to judgment being entered | against the defendant in his absence, -- We are prepared to admit that had the act i not been defective, had the Clerk's notices { been made to do duty as County Court sum- monses notifying the parties to appear before the Court and show cause why their names | should not be cut off ; in such case the | {| names of respondents refusing to .appear would be cut off for contempt of Court.

Rev. Mr. Bredin read the lessons--the first consisted of parts of 'the 6th and 7th chapters of IL Chronicles ; the second, part the 10th ch. of Hebrews commenging at the 19th verse.

After singing the Rev, gentlemangase out his text -- the 3rd vee of the 87th Psalm :--Glorious thing are spoken of thee, 0 city of God 1" The speaker set out by referring to the uniformity und similarity of the teachings of thd spirit inall ages as exemplified Ly the teachings of scripture while the effets produced by such teaching have al ways been of a similar nature and produced like results. The speaker's allusion to the power of prophecy and the knowledge the prophets possessed of the subjects of which they spoke was pleasing and intersting, pointing as it did to the accurate prosp.ct which David bad of the glorious things whore were spoken of the city or chuith of God yetin the distant future. The speaker was happy in Lis definition of the term Church, He showed that the definition which confined the term to a par- ticular DOay ce. e as... AAlmies de gyi anal the same form of church Government, hold-- ing a common creed, using the same ritual, and following the same ceremories in wor- ship, was too narrow ; but that a church isa company of christ ans, who believing in Christ, receive the Scriptures as the only guide of their faith and practice agd follow the ordinances which the Scriptubes incul- cate. The Rev. Gentleman took up ut some length the importance of a good foundation to the stability of any structure, Rlustrating his remarks by the action of the wise man and the foolish, the former of m byilt his house upon a rock and that it withstéod the fury of the tempest and the beating of the flood, while the latter having built his Louse upon the sand had it swept clean away with the first storm. Then pointing to the Rock on which the city or church of Gad is built that cven the gates of bell shall not prevail against it. And that other founda- tion can no man lay than that which is laid even Christ Jesus.
