A Editor. PORT PERRY, JULY 29, 1875. The Bountiful Season. At this particular when ------ chief in the Grit ranks and, but for| the timidity of their opponents nota soul of them would havo been'saved. ---- More Wood in the Cubinet. The Grit.Government have sélect- ed Mr. 8. C. Wood as ' sticcessor in the Government to Mr. McKellar. To say that Wood will be an im- provement on McKellar would be but natwre takes an especial delight in pouring her bounties into the laps of hor numerous dependents a feeling of "" rest and be thankful" seems to pervade the publicmind. Officials of all classes relax the ordinary ten- sion of official life, unbend their en- ergies or change their direction and seek recuperation apd' a renewal of the supply of heaven's best medicines --pure air and healthful exercise amonget the mountains, by the sea or over the charming woodlands.-- The jaded student lays aside bis books and courts the invigorating influenceé of the free air and change. Thedgwyer casts aside his briefs and seeks the much needed mental rest and physical activity amongst the "rural scenery where the laws of na- tare alone are known of Budigh.-- Even the politician lays "side the weapons of war, hoists the white flag and proclaims a truce. The mer- chant, too, relaxes his grip on busi- ness and to a greater or less degree obeya' the imperious demands of na- ture, unbonds the bow which has been Lent almost to breaking during the past year and courts a little re- laxation ; the result is that business is not pushed and that relaxation is sccured £0 necossary to prevent a premature snapping of the brittle cord. The pleasing pic-nic, the in- vigorating excursion, the interesting anniversary or other social gather- ing which may' afford an agreeable relaxation and tend to the benefit of society are brought to do duty in such seasons. These are all right and proper and act beneficially on our physical powers, social natures and intellectual faculties, while the .several institutions in whose behslf the entertainments are got up re ceive a healthfal impulse most Lene ficial in its nature and results. Of all classes of the commun ity the Agricalturicts alone have their energies taxed to the utmost, 'this is especially their s2ason of la. "bor ; but it is of the most animating -and choorful description, it is the work of recoiving ; they are gather- ing from the bountitul lap of mother nature the varied and valuable gifts with which she rewards the toils of tho hugbandman. The baras and store houses are being filled with the Jbounties of Providence,an ample re- ward for all the toil and anxiety of the year ; and certainly in this as in many other rcspects Xie in this sec- tion of country have especial cause for gratitude. The prospects of the dbusbandman, and through him the community at large are of the mest 'eheering nature, our ficlds are wav- ing with az abundant and rapidly ripening harvest with the certain prospect of good prices for all we wish to sell. But while" sitting in green pastures or walking by still waters we must romomber those for whom nothing is prepared, tho poor tossed ones ob life's rough sea. Stepping into Archy's Shoes. The Grits of East Kent have nominated one Mr. John Duck as successor to the great Statesman (?) fr Farm notoriety: Archy bas already made ducks and drukes of everything he has touched officially,and should the constituency bave the misfortune to fall into the hands of another Grit we would much prefer aDuck to another goose. Bat surely, in all reason, even the eloctors 'of East Ken! have got enough, and more than enough, of Grit misrule te satisfy them for all time to come. 'It is true that there Js no accounting for tastes, but all the other senses need not be so completelp vitiated as to submit to another dose 5f Grit fraud. AEa---- Another Grit Dead. Asotper Grit died of political eor- Murray, who at the late a wretched p! t. But the former is as cunning as a fox and as tricky as, as, well, ----, Can't South Victoria take this op- portunity of repudiating the whole Grit concern by rejecting Wood at the polls when he comes to seek re-election. S-- 'Well Done, South Victoria. Since the above was in typs we are pleased to learn that Adam Hudspeth, Esq., of Lindsay, has consented to take the field in the interest of the Opposition with the viewgto leaving 8. C. Wood, the em- bryo member of the Grit Govern- ment, at home. 1t cannot be possible that a major- ity of the electors will so far forget their own best interests and the welfare of the country as to cast their votes for one who does net only sanction Grit extravagance, waste and misrule but who is now prepar- od to go in with the exclusive deal- ing spendthrifts and give them a band in wasting tho remaining change at the bottom of the Exche- quer--the balance of the J. S. Mec- Donald Government savings. The country relying on the intelligence aud independence of the clectors of South Victoria will look with confi- dence for the redemption of the rid-| ing by leaving Mr. Woed at home and returning Mr. Hudspeth with a magnificont majority. The slaughter of Grit Government hacks is the pelitical salvation of the country. E------ That Appeal. Mr C. Crandell's appeal to the County Judge against the finding of the Port Perry Court of Revision in the matter of the assessment of Mr Crandell's property, was decided on Saturday lastatWhitby. It will be remombered that we gave the evi- dence given betore Judge Burnham ut the hearing of the. ease on Tues- day 20th inst. Aftes tho hearing of the evidence it was agreed by coun- sel to argue the matter in chambers on Saturday following. According- ly the appeal was argued gn Cham- pers before Judge Burnham, on Sat- urday. JP. A. Hurd, Esq., for ap- pellant and W. M. Cochrane, Esq. for the corpovation, After hearing the argument the »ndge decided to reduce the assessmeny of Mr Cran- dell's 1123 acres north of §ucen St. trom $100 to $60 an acre. This8 8 great ruduetion, two fifths ot the | whole, and praves conclusively one of two positions, either the assessor made a tearful blunder in the assess: ment or the pruning knife has been unskillfully handled. Four thous- and five-hundred dolla=s off an-assess- ment of eleven thousand two-hundr- od and fifty dollars is a most signi- ficant fall. Reasoning from what Las taken place in the above insianse there are hundreds in the cowpora- tion whe by appealing ta the Judge might bave bad thet psissment reduced by one ba)f of what they Dow are, Ser---- Therese iimy a Slip betw ween | whe Cup an PD.

The authorities on such matters were busy at work.in hunting up likely parties, finally, however, the weight of conjecture rested on Mr. Lawler, on whom it was-asserted that the mantle of .C ,ulthard had already fallen.

At the Lazaretto, three and a quatter miles, Coyle still maintained the lead. At the end of Tenicum Island Coyle was leading halt a wile.
