-aving of $150 a JAMES BAIRD, - - - Editor. PORT PERRY, JUNE 3, 1875. | "The Chunty Council. 'Tho County Council or Commons of Ontario hold their second, session for 1875 duving the present weok.-- | Our County councils bear a relation that which the Commons louse does to the Local. Its true that, our County council does not make such a spread and the members don't receive theirsnug $1000 for each ses- sion as the members of the commons do--there is no bluster of royal sal- utes, gnards of honor, presenting arms or any such pageant when they assemble, but notwithstanding all that our Co. council is a.no less importagh body on that account and with a few oxceptions, man for man, will comjare favorably either morally, intellectually or fin- ancially with the members of our legislature, notwithstanding the fact that the members of County Council give their service for $2 per day while the members of parliament get from $10 to $15 per day. Wo may assert without fear of successful con- tradiction that most of the members of our Co. councildo as much in one day as a majority of the members of Parliament doin a week, and the greater part of the legislation of the former proves more essential to the community than that of the formea. But perhaps the most singularfeaturo of the whole is the airs which our M. Is and M. P. P's puton. It is amusing to wit: ness tho style put on by our Govern- ment in eecking to interfere with and control the legislation of" our Coun- ties' Councils ; step by step the Lo- cal Legislature is encroachinguen the freedom of action ot Counties' Coun- cils and assuming to guide ard direct in matters which ought to belong exclusively to the Counties' Councils One inroad after another has been made on the rights of Councils ; but WER Usword for it the saving will be equal nkatin Hhserher| to the ped at hie. we placed it, pity WEY YEAR the work, aud much more satisfaction got from Press of business prevented our attending council on the first day so that none of the proceedings will appear till our next when our read- ers may expect {ull report. -- " Woodman, Spare TIIAT TREE, Cut not a stugle bough !

Tho Ass With what foelings of admiration does the veloran, returned after m; around him, gaze upon favorite oak tree as it and twists beneath the powerful blast. The weight of years begins to press heavily on its stately form and naked boughs every here and there show the absence of that youthful vigor which was wont to propel its nourishment to the farthest twig; the leaves are spare and the bark is not so sightly as itonce was. The woodman s the axe to bring it down when gratitude, the noblest principle in the human mind stirs the veteran's soul and he rushes to the rescue exclaiming : " Woodman! spare that tree |" What the noblo veteran said of his favorite tree Wesleyan Methodism in this part of the province, may ap- propriately say of the Prince Albert Wesleyan Church, Wesleyanism in in Ontario may well exclaim, in youth, aye in infaacy, it sheltered me, and I'll protect it now. At time whe this now fair and flonr- ishing county liad s ly begun to, show the traces of civilization, when the pale faces were only to bo scen here and there in cultivated spots in the almost intermidable forest, while "darkness yet covered the*land and gross darkness the people," while as yet the glimmerings of intellec: tual light were few and far between ; while the red man and white alike had no man to care for their souls.; while the lamp of Gospel light had not yet been lighted anywhere with- in this entire section of country, the nucleus of the i'rioce Albert Wes- leyan Church was then formed.-- Faithful hands seized and es his at last as if it were not enough to to prostrate our Councils and be smoar them with dirt the Local Legislature appears to take a de. light in rubbing it in by arrogating to themselves full control and direc- tion as to the newspapers to which shall be given the publication of tho Lists of Convictions and other simi- lar fat jobs from time to time. It may be in accordance with the rules of party practice for a Government to give its poisemage exclusively to its political friends but itis carrying the joke a little tan far when any Governmeat has the insolence tostep in and order a County council to give its (the Council's) work to the olitical friends of the Government. he Co, Council must finance for the payment of the bills and the Gov- ernment in its modesty (?) will or der the work to be given to whom it of Con{ienione 1s a case in point.-- These Lists of convictions aro pub- lished every quarter, the publication | of which as well as everything con- nected with them must be paid for by the county while the County council is not permitted to ray one word as to the party who shall pub- Jish them. "The publication of the List of Con wictions cests the county $50 each publication and as such list is publish- ed every quarter here are 8200 paid every year by the County for four publications of this famous list, the publication of which in many iff not a majority of instances, is' given to whe proprietor of that paper who awvill make the most abject bow, lick ahe greatest amount of dirty Lec their tail most closely between their legs, creep nearest the ground and wake the most piteous whine to the head of the government.

This is a matter which concerns all. Had the County council suffi-| -cient pluck to tell the government forth under & world of difliculties, privations and dangers the lamp of Gospel light with its cheering and blessed influences. Regularservicos according to the Wosleyan form were soon established, and I'rin -¢ Albert Wesleyan Church became the rallying point for all who sought to join in prayer and praiso and seek the God of their favuers. Other bodies came in ailer the ground had been thoroughly broken but the Wesleyan Church still led the glorious march. As their num- bers increased their accommodations were enlarged, but still the cry was more room until it was found advis- able to erect a church here and es- tablish a congregation there while the Prince Albert Church, like a be- pificent mother, did not only counsel and direct her offspring, gave them her parting blessing and was not til she had the ploasure oing some six or seven prosperous and worthy stations of her offspring of which she is the head, an honor to whieh on every principle of justice she is justly entitled, And now thai she bas raised and established a fam- ily proud of her and of which she may well feel proud one would have naturally expected that sho would have been allowed to retain her well merited honors and that no one would seck fo raise a hand against her. But when Le above all others who should have stood in her de- fence is the first to raise the axe, well may the people exclaim, Pastor, spare that tree, none can cut so deep. Others might nibble at her skirts aud seek wo detract from her true worth, their attacks would be fruitless, but when hé upon whom she might expect to rely presents the dagger we'l anay she exclaim et tu Brute. may | "We find a communication in the | Christian Guardian of the 12th alt., over the signature of "Samuel C.

Learned counsclwent on to statethat the suit before the high court had no bearing what- ever on the ownership of the property. Mrs Penrose had done wrong in seeking to take forcible possession of the property, though it is her own she was nevertheless a trespasser in seeking to take possession in the manner in which she did and he will take good care that she will not-again make a similar mis- take. He was a little surprised to hear par- ties talking about a limitation of time -- Limitation of time under certain circumstan- ces give a title but never as between the crown and a subject, a two hundred years oc- cupancy of the property of the crown--and all original road allowances are crown prop- erty--would not give a title. . Mr St John considers the council is. not obliged to give Mrs Penrose a deed of the property, if she has a just title to it she can proceed and eject Mr Cragg, he would like to know what would be done provided 'this Council gave Mrs Penrose a title of the pro- perty and it should turn out that she has no right to it ? Mr Bain said he did not come here begging a favor for Mrs Penrose, he had come to lay her claims before the council and show them how matters stand, ask the Council to given deed and if they refuse it will be the duty of Mrs Ic to apply for a mandamus to compel the Council to grant it. He wonld sh nize Mr Cragg ir this matter at all, he has no locus stand: in it; he has no right or title in the property, 1t is to the Council alone ; it is the Council to whom she must look, the property is vested in the Municipal Council to be by them conveyed to the proper own. ers. Mr Yarnold gave a full description of all connected with the" roed. Mr St John asked Mr Yarnold if the vill- age lots of Greenbank had been laid out ac- cording to the position the road now occu- pics? Mr Yarnold replied that they were so laid ut. Mr St. Jolm--Do you, Mr Yarnold, know whether the boundaries of the village lots were put in the deeds in accordance with the road as it now runs, Mi Holman--The matter had already been settled in court. ; Mr Cragg says his uncle's will gave him | the property, the titles were all right and a Christie, again state that Mrs Penrose does not recog- | med out Justice V The Council then adjour: tration pay the costs, was read.
