PORT PERRY, MAY 27, 1875. 'Coming Homs to Roost. 8 . Fa & We bave heard of crimes coming home to roost, but the force of this remark was perhaps never better llustrated than in the case of those Grits whose basely corrupt practices by means of Agents or otherwise . have caused them to be driven from their seats to theif own utter dis- grace and to the disgrace of the | ® gloom over the entire locality and country at large. What estimate will outsiders-put on the political morality of a people where a whole Party whose contirued howl for years has been their own purity and the corruption of their oppon- ants, when that same party, man by man, as their corrupt practices at elections are brought to light must be driven from their forfeited seats. 'Here follows the list of transgressors whose political sins bave found them out, and who lost their seats in con- 'sequence : BATber, .....e... inne resins Hulion. sears BE. Northumberland. oy, - Higginbothau, : Irving, . err,.... MoGreggor, Lumberland. .-Eesex. Sudden Deeth. We regret exceedingly to be called upon to chronicle the sudden and Roynolds, son of Mr. George Rey- nold, a highly respectable farmer in the Township of Cartwright. It appears that on Sunday evening 23rd inst. . deceased was driving home, from his appointment, to his father's in Cartwright, he wasriding in a sulky and by some means or other he got thrown out and his neck broken. This sad event throws the most lively sympathy is felt for the afflicted and esteemed family in this their great bereavement.-- Here is a promising young man snatched off in the morning of life-- being some 24 years of age--just im the dawn of a valuable, useful career being a promising young minister in counection with the Methodist Churchof Canada. ---- Court of Revision.

Port Perry has thus nursed her strength and her resources for a grand time on Dominion Day und preparations are already being pushed with vigor and ample means are being prepared for a jousing cele brution ou the famous 1st of July. Attrac- tions of a highly interceting character suited to the liking of ull are being provided. The track for horse races is being put into splendid fettle and the races will be some. thing grand, - | The enjoyment on the waters of Scugog will be both varied and abundant while the several railways and other means of conveying passengers will be so arranged as | to meet the requirements of people from a | distance--Particlars made known in good | time.

The township of Cartwright which is ad- vancing in material progress as satisfactorily as any other township in 'the Provinee is progressing no less satisfactorily in iutelli- gence and enterprize, The Queen's Birth- day was celebrated at Williamsburg in the mast pleasing manner, the enjoyments were varied to suit all. The public social tea in the; Drill Shed ynder the care of the Presby- terian Church there was highly successful, The tea was got up in a style worthy the day, and lof the rvoputation of she active young ladies who had the 'matter in hand, and we were pleased to see 80 many. turning in to assist our ,Presby- terian friends to make the celebration a 'success. \ \ There were no scarcity of attractions, the manly exercise of base ball was indulged. in and a capital game of cricket was played. -- Several of the Bowmanville youth were here 4o measure swords with young Cartwright in these manly games. : /The ground in the evening was equally occupied by an admirable lecture in the Presbyterian Chuich, and an amateur Con cert in the town hall. The village presented.a gay and active scene full of blooming, busy life, and all appeared to enjoyed themselves most. hearti- ly. y 'We were pleased £0, ste tetas. tokens of improvement manifesting themselves all ound ¢he village, Mr. Tooley is laying ool 'down materials for the erection of large and important additions to his hotel accommo- dotion; oae building is to be 21x43 and an "other 2cx30, These will mot enly add! largely to the decommodation of the hotel' but they will very much improve the ap- pearance of the village. We understand that Mr. Fluke contemplates putting up two or more fine new buildings there shortly, and our Church of England friends are about to erect a new brick church there. Amongst the many very desirable im- provements there is certainly mone more needful nor more important than, that int:o- ducedby our enterprising friend Mr. E. Bryans, we refer to the excellent Brick Yard which he bas established at a short distance from Williamsburg. The acknowledged comtort of & good brick building and, we had said, the economy of brick as a ma- terial for building, force upon the attention yor the public the necessity for having brick yards established in every eligible location throughout the country, We hope that Mr. Bryans' energy in this may meet with all the success it deserves, and thatit may prove to be a highly profitable venture, as it will be a great accommodation to all parties for miles around. Spelling Match. Our Cartwright friends have caught the Spellozootic infection with a vengeance, one very decided case of it manifested itself on Friday evening, 21st inst, On Friday evening last, a double barreled spelling match came off in in the Towr Hill, Williamsburg, in fact there were two distinct matches; the contestants in the one case wore ischool children under sixteen 'years, the otber was open to all resdents of the township who pleased to enter, old and young. There were two prizes for the first match and one for the second. When the hour for commencing had arrived the hall wus packed with a highly interested audience anxious to near the rather singular contest. The Rev'ds YWindel and "Hodgson took their seats as Keierees and pronounces. . First the school children's match was taken up and representatives from sections 4, 5, 6 and' 7, were on hand and made a highly creditable appearance. Some _tiventy-four smart intellimont children marched | to the front of the platform and all appeared eager for the fray. This range of active looking children whose beaming countenances and | bright eyes prowised. a sharp cou- test caused a general bush in the ball until the contest shunld com- mence. The ranks remained un- broken for a time, word after word was given and as quickly spelled, by time howover the ranks began to waver, somo of the little follows would get bothered, make a blunder and ut once had to step down and out. This weeding went on till the host had been narrowed down to ten and at this it struggled for a time without a break, but somo puzzler now and then nipped 'off another till only five were left and here the in terest deependd aud ull eyes were on the 'ittle band who contended nobly, but one of the five asmart little girl, Miss L. Hylands, went dowa on' wagon, she spelling it (us we think, correctly) with one *g" while the authority (the spelling-book) re- quired two g's. Another went down and left three, and after a fur- ther strugglé the word Mocassin was given out when twe of the three a boy named Fdwards and Miss R. Trick both went dewn on it and Geo. Deacon spelled itcorfrectly and thus carried off the laurels of victory and the 1st prize, $2; the 2nd prize was divided between Miss R. f'rick and thd boy Edwards. This closed the first match. > ---- "The Second Match. The second match was open to all comers residents of the township, but the severe test to which the first match had tounder go tend- ed greatly to lessen the number of contest- ants in the second and not more than six- teen or eighteen all told entered the lists in this match. In this match the plan adopted was to give out forty words, each contestant to write them down and hand them in to the referees and the one having correctly spelled the greatest number of words should be vie- for. Theifront presented onthis occasion was considerably varied from thestrong man towering six'feet in the "air down to the smiling little girl or the boy of a dozen years and the result proved that the " battle was not to the strong .nor the race to the swift" for a little lad in his twelfth year swept the field and carried off the prize. The words selectod were by no means eagily spelled but the papers handed in were most creditable most.of 'them were excellent. The 'Ist prize competitor of the first match had 35 words eoircct, Miss M. Deacon and Miss R. Trick bad each 36 correct, two of the teachers made 38 cach and one teacher and 'boy made 39 each. Here was a tie two par- ties had each 89 correct words and it was de- cided to test the matter .orally -and much auxicty was manifested by the andience to know who were the two but when the names were called it proved to berthe taacher of section Nog and one of his pupils wha vere. to enter the final struggle. A simultaneous burst of applause rang through the hall, but nothing daunted the little fellow buckled right into the work and stepping up to his somewhat formidable antagouist cooly wait. for the onset something in the Goliath and David style. Word after word of the: mos} difficult charact given and as quickely | disposed of both proving themselves excellent spellers, but the end was reached at last the kword caouromouc proved too tough for the teacher he got entangled "in it and it brought him to the floor.while his young an- tagonist whose ngme is Philp--a hoy in this 13th year spelled the word correctly andghus gained the.v! and the .prize amid the shouts of from ithe spectatqrs. This closed a couple of highly successfu) matches. Mr. Windel then delivered ,a neat ing, hin gatisfaction with the manner, in | which the contestants had conducted thom. solves and tho excellent spelling they bad made and especially complimenting the young champion who had cleared the field, The Cartwright Brass Band gave their valu~| able assistance in adding 0 #ho pleasures of , and highly complimentary address express. |B - Division Court. The Division Court for the municipalities of Reach, Port Petry and Scugog was held in the town hall Port Perry on Tuesday 25th inst., Judgo Dartnell presiding, The court was a light one, there could not be more than forty or fifty cases and none of them of # uch importance, The legal element was represented by Messrs Hurd, Cochrane, Ebbels, Mathieson antl we saw Billings pass through the hall. The illegal element was fairly represented more ways than one, The bulk of the cases were such as con- cerned the parties to the suits and no others. If A swears that B owes him aud B swears that he does not what has the public got to do with it. It would be of public importance if there were any means of finding out whet-- her A or Bis swearing to win but as this cannot be ascertained it had better be- let. alone. That there was on this occcasion as on all such occasions some hard, hard ing is 1 bly true and we were pleased to hear the court in more than one instance reproving this wretched practi } swearing to win without the slightert regard for the truth. It is dangerous to go to court with a professional swearer, Huckins vs Ireland. 'This was a case of some public importance The plff bad put a roof on def's hotel Port Perry--now the Walker House ; the def on the ground that the roof was defective refused to pay the amount demanded and the suit was instituted to recover the amount. Pif sworn, says he agreed to put a root on def s hotel for the sum of $105 and that he had done the work putting on a good reof! and if anything were wrong with the roof it was from the quality of the sheeting or the manner in which it was put on, he plff had complained fo def of the condition of the sheeting but did not say he could not make a good roof of it and the roof he pyt on wasa good one if it had not been injured ih some way. Def sworn, says the plft took the job of roof, ing the hotel agreeing to put on a good roof tor $100 and that he, def, said if he would put on a first-class roof he would. give him $3 more and thai j1ft agreed to tis and took the §5 extra which were given him at that time, Considers the roof as put onas ai- most worthless, bad counted sixteen leaks in the roof, cannot plaster the ceiling aboyg, the leaks in the roof would spoil the plaster. He def bad wished a gravel roof but plff had advised him to take a felt roofing instead as being better, I'o Mr. Cochrane, the sheeting might not be all of one thickness butit was nearly so-- it was quite strong ¢nough for a gravel roof The sheeting was not tengued and grooved--the sheeting on such roofs are not always so, the brick work was all completed before the roof was put on, don't know of any wheeling or carrying brick or morter over the roof. Mr C McCaw, sworn--Has laid several roofs in the village, generally puts on, from two to four thicknesses of felt. Would al- ways put on four thicknesses if paid for it, four thickness makes a stronger roof and more secure--if the roof is very flat it re- quires to be the stronger. The roof on the Walker House 1s nota first class roof. The sheeting on all roofs which I have laid was tongued and grooved. Can't say what may be the cause of the leakage, there is a covering of canvass over the roof, may have been injured by parties walking over it, am aware that'there were bricks und morter carried over the roof after it was finished; this may have cracked the roof and caused the leaks. The east wall was not all finish cd when the roof was put on. Mr. Foote was the next witness, He testified to his having cxamined the roof, found a large portion of the canvass without any covering, found ouly one thickness of felt. Don't vuderstand anything about such roofs, considers the roof very bad, can't way Low much it would require to put it in pro- | per condition, To Mr. Cochrane. Don't know anything about such roofs, If the sheeting were not all one thickness it might injure the roofing s0 as it weuld deak, It would not injure the roof to-walk overit. Mr. Griffin sworn. Corroborates the statements of Mr. Foot as to the condition of the roof. The roof could not be put on till after the walls were finished. Mr. Walker, leasee of the hotel, testifies as to the imperfect condition «f the roof and declares that when it rains it-leuks enough to supply-thethouse with all 'the rain water required,the state of the roofiis a great injury to the house, does not consider the roof worth anything in its present condition. Deft. re-called. To Mr. Ebbels. Mr, McCaw was in eiror when he stated that one of the walls was not-quite finished when the roof was laid, for the roof could not be put on till after the walls were all finished. This was the case. Judgment deferred. even, Court of Chancery. The Spring Sittings of the.Court of Chan~ cery for the Count y of Ontario opened at the Court House, Whitby, on the 21st inst.-- Vice-Chancellor Proudfoot presiding. There were.five suits set down for hearing.

Perry, met at the town hall on: Wednesday, 26thinst., at 1) a. m. It was agreed to sit as a Court of Revision at 1 o'clock, p. m. and the Council went in in an informal way to examine the assessment roll for the pres- ent. 'A conversation was entered on regard- ing certain street improvements. Afternoon, The members of the Court of Revision having been sworn business went on. a hs first Sug was that of Mr, Clark Crap ell, P. A. Hurd, appearing for him. Complainant hE acres of land within e ion with a small house on it, this was assessed at $90 an acre, he com- plained of being assessed too high. It was shown that part of complainant's property of the same lot was in Reach and that was assessed at only $60 an acre. Appeal dismissed, Mr Benson complained that a house and lot of his in the 6th con. was rated too high. The house had been occupied by two parties and each of them had been assessed for half the lot at $200 each. Mr. Benson wanted it assessed to one and reduced $100. Mr Currie asked complainant how much rent he realized from the house. Mr:Benson replied §5 per month i The Court considered that he had little cause of complaint seeing that the rent real- ized 15 per cent of the assessed value. Appeal withdrawn. Mi, Caleb Crandell complained of being rated too high, he was represented by P. A. Hurd, Exq. He had 112 acress at $100 per acre, this was not complained of. There was other property at $200 per acre, this was regarded as too high. It had been laid out in village lots and was assessed as such while the complaint set forth was that this proper- ty should have been assessed as farming lands. _ The case was laid over. The Clerk read a communication from Mr. Nott asking to have the property which he lately purchased from Mr. Emaney assessed in his name. Mr C McClue complained of his property being over rated at $100. The niatter was investigated and the as- sessment was reduced to $300, The assessment of one Wm. Briton was corrected by having the McClue property de- tached from it which had been assessed with it by mistake, Mr. Lund complained of being rated too high, being assessed at $900 for 9} acres with no house on the property. P. A. Hurd, Esq, appeared for complainant.-- Appeal dismissed. The Sec'y of the P. W. & P.P. R. Co'y appeared on behalf of that Co'y complaing of being over rated. Case deferred. Mr, Wm. Addison complained that $750 was too high an assessment for his property, considers $150 quité high cnough. Appeal dismissed. Mr. Nichols complains of being too high in comparison with other similar property ; bis "assessment for his house and 6 acres being $1000, He admits having refused to sell for $2000. Appeal dismissed. Mr. Geo. Collins assessment was reduced from $500 to $100. Mr. Bigclow's appeal was diswissed. Mr. Wm. Jones' appeal was dismissed. On motion of Mr. Jones, the Court ad journed till the first Monday in Juse. * The Council wys organized by the Reeve taking the chair, ° Minutes of the previous meeting read and approved, An order was granted the Assessor for the amount of his salary, $45. : Mr. Kellett introduced a by-law to ap- point an arbitrator on behalf of the corpora tion to arrange with Mr. Bigelow as to the purchase of the right of way for a portion of a street through Mi. Bigelow's property connecting Paxton's St. with Perry St. Mr. Shaw said he would not oppose the by-law if the purchase did not exceed $75 or perhaps $100, but he would oppose any more as the accommodation is but little re quired in the meantime, Mr Joues says 'that under the circumstan- ces Mr Bigelow onght to sell for less than $50. Mr Bigelow said he would not sell for six timesgthat amount, be could get more for it ut he did not want to part with it, . Mr Jones replies that under the circum- stances if the corporation require it the sooner it is sccured the better. Not long ago as stated by Mr Kellett Mr Bigelow offered to take $100 for it and now he says he won't touch $300, if it stands a little longer there isno saying where it may be, Mr Currie said the proposed street would accommodate only a few and he consider, that the purchase money is more required fo, repairing streets which we already have he would not reccommend the outlay in the mean time, Mr Kellett said the accommodation would be.much greater than Mr Carrie supposes, besides there are many lots beyond his which would be purchased if this. road was epencd. Mr Currie--Who owns the lots you refer to? Mr Kellett--They are the property of Mr Bigelow. MrCurrie--If such is the case why does Mr Bigelow refuse to sell the street atan or- dinary figure, secing that it is going to in- crease the sale of his lots? He (Mr Currie) would prefer spending the money in repair- ing streets which now very much require repair, ' Mr Jones would like to see the street opened, but he would not consent to any- {ung like the figure spoken of by Mr Bige ow, The By-law passed through its several stages was signed and sealed, The blank for arbitrator was filled up with the name of A. Gordon, M. P. Mr Tipp's account of $:00 as balance ot contract for town hall was laid on the table An order for $50 was given to Mr Huckins on aceount. : The Council then adjourned. --_-- More Burglary.
