ences of the Summer heat. a PORT PERRY, AUG. 16, 1877. The Season. The several seasons of the year have their uses and their eharms.-- Winter with its biting, invigorating cold which lulls vegitable nature to sleep and prepares it for the extra efforts of returning Spring, rencwes and intensifies animal life fortify. ing it against the debilitating influ.

Tho voting on the Dunkin By-law goes bravely on in Toronto, Dunkinites are from ulling back them in the face. The only remain ing chance, and even that is very slim, lies in an entire change of ad- vocates while the rank and file give up their bby cries. The first step towards success the only hope of carrying the Dunkin by.law and that is but-§lim is to silence the To- ronto Globe or what is better still try and induce him to take np against the by.law. Your Hunters with their flour bags full of beer, your vice Chancellors with their spark- ling beverage even within the terri- tory of the Dunkin rule, your paid spouters and extravagant old ladies all must be silenced if the by-law is to have the slightest chance to carry. Very many, doubtless a large ma- jority of the Dunkin men are sin cere" and prompted in their action by a sincere desifo to henefit man- kind, and while we bolieve that the introduction of the Dunkin Act into any community would have an op- posite tendency, we give the honest advocates all due honor for their motives. But the dishonest and the mercenaries taking the lead in favor of the measure cannot fail in accomplishing its ruin. Up till the close of the poll on Tuesday evening there had been 1195 votes polled, of these 2250 were against the by-law and only 1945 for it, so that the majority against the by-law at the close of the poll on Tuesday was 305. There won't be more than four or five thousand more votes polled and if appearances go for anything Dunkin is rot to be allowed a footing in Toronto. First in the Race Mr. James St. John, lot 5 in the 6th concession of Brock finished his grain harvest on Saturday 11 inst. hie had every sheatof his grain snug. gly in the barn on Saturds even- He had a largo breadth grain dewn the yield bountiful and the quality magnificent, such a yield both as to quantity ing. of is and quality especially in the wheat, is but rarely seen and to have it all laid comfort- ably away in the barn by the eleventh day of August is something to be proud of and shows much energ and activity as well in putting in early as hurrying it off as soon as it is fit. Well done Mr. St. John, first in tho raco deserves a prize. In two or three weeks after whon the slow ones begin to in Tet them teport themselves, this come The PloNie Season. The healthful, intercs sting, social pic.nic (we have no reference to political pic-nics they are unmitigated humbugs) has almost become an institution in our land and from year to year it appears to be gaining in pop ular favor, Dwring the scason thero is scarcely a week but we have On,T well patronized excursion from one or more arsday last a Whitby to to Lindsay passed through Port Perry pic-nics or excursions, on the cars.

The Village of Prince Albert and neigh. Lorhood stand deservedly high for tho ex: cellence of the soil and superiority of cul- tivation the combined effects of which are made yearly manifest in the luxwiance of the crops raised. Blessed with a soil of amazing fertility, cultivated with the ut. most skill it is not to be wondered at that that village and neighborhood should be so widely known for the quality of their crops. A couple of weeks ago we had occasion to refer to one out of many samples of superior erain raised here : we cited one instance of a handful of stalks of wheat pulled without selecting out ofa four acre field belonging to John McDonald, Esq.

The township of Reach and Sengog Agii- cultural Society will hold their fall show for 1877 on the show grounds, Poft Perry, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct, 2nd and 3rd. The coming show will doubtless be the best in every particular ever held by the so- ciety, The premiums never before amount. ed toso much as they will at this time, the number and quality of stock were never as good : machines ani implements will doubtless be numerous and superior and the fair ones may well be relied on for something worthy of them in way of the ladies depart ment, The township or Brock Agricultural So- ciety hold their fall show in the village of tunderland on Tuesday and Wednesday the Oth and 10th days of Oct, The lively competition may be looked for, Doubtless Brock's fair daughters will sustain their former reputation by such a display as is worthy of their intelligence and activity, South Ontario wil be held on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Sept 19th, 21st. 20th and This show is fast rising in importance and deservedly so, the accommodations as grounds, sheds, stalls and everything necess ary for the convenience and comfort of Libitors and the public while the provisions made for the protection and keeping of horses, cattle' sheep, swine &e could hardly surpassed The magnificent . drill shed forms a floral hall with all necessary convenience, i The and articles exhibitea at these shows are scarcely surpassed in point of ¢ lence by those exhibited at the Pro- show. be animals Central Exhibition, at Lindsay, on Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursday, Oct, 2nd 3rd and 4th, North Brock! at Cannington, on Monday and Tuesday, Oct st and 2nd, North Ontario, at Uxbridge, on Tuesday and Wednesday Sept, 18th aud 19th, Exhibition, at London, Monday, Sept. 24, to end of week, Provincial on More of this Championship. The Galt Reporter says :-- " The long spoken of Quoit Match for the championship of Ontario, between Mr. Mur of Beaverton, and Me. James Dobson, of Galt took place as per announcement, and result. ed in a victory for Me. Dobson, by a majority of 9 shots, The pitching throughout was not equal to what has seen on previous oceasions, the home champion never being pressed, and winning the match with com- parative ease. The score stood : Dobson 61; Muir 52." Mr. Dobson may be the Champion of Mr Muir, it may be of Beaverton and possibly of Galt, but who told tle Reporter that he is "Champion of Ontario," bee There are lots of quitors in the province of Ontario who could hvery soon obliterate every vestige of claim which Dobson could have to the champion. ship.

It is about time that this term championship were used with a little more caution. It may be all very well for half a dozen men to get into some obscure corner to have an otherwise innocent test of fai, but it is assuming a little too much to dubb the one who happens to come out ahead "champion" of the county, province, or the world as the case may be. Quoiting is one of our very best out-door games, it is a manly, healthful exercise re. quiring considerable skill, it is one of the most ancient games on record and should be wore practised than it is, rn rn se. A Move in the Right Direction.

There is perhaps no more decisive criter- ion by which 'to judge of the moral standing and real character of a community than by their ready appreciation of true merit and manly recognition of i6 in either old or young but especially in the latter to whom such recognition is of most value, It is by no means desirable to live in a community in which true worth has but few admirers, where virtue if it has not to pay hemage to ' vice, is regarded with little more favor.where the cunning and unscrupulous knave Isre- garded with little less favor than the most upright and generons ; where the dishonest fraud is considercd smart; where the shark who lives on his trickery is placed on an equal footing with the honorable and just. We hada pleasing illustration, on Friday evening last, of the favor with which true worth is regarded by the good folks wi Port Perry The extension of the Whitby and Port Perry Rail vay to Lindsay caused Mr, 8.

A large number of the inhabitants of Port Perry regarded this a fitting opportunity to publicly testify their high appreciation of the moral worth and first-class business capacity of the two young men, invited them to a complimentary supper in the Walker House on the evening of the 10th inst. Mr. J. W. Meharry, of the firm of Laing & Mcharry, occupied the chair, the guests of the evening were one on tho right and the other on the left of the chairman, Before commencing supper the chairman rose and addressed the guests in language at once choice, judicions and complimentary, setting forth fn appropriate terms the high opinion entertain d of the many good quale ities of the young men whom the parties present Lad met to honor and whose manly, honorable conduct and pleasing, satisfactory bearing as public men had secured the es- teem and best wishes of the entire commun- ity.

A The municipal conncil of Brock met at the town hall, Sunderland, on Monday 13th nst.--Members all present. The minutes of previous meeting were read and approved.

Some parties had | petitioned the coy, calling their attention to the fact and appealing to their generos- ity. The Reeve's name being on the peti- tion two communications were sent to the council, The first from the President of the road complaining that the Co'y had all they could do to meet their legitmate expenses without paying for cows tor which they are not responsible and that it would be much more like business if the Reeve and other wealthy parties would put their hands in their pockets and pay the man the price of his cow. The Solicitor of the Co'y also sends a com munication repudiating on the part of the Co'y all responsibility for damage under the circumstances, From the Inspector of Registers acknow- ledging the semi annual returns ot births marriages and deaths from the township Clerk up titl June 30th, 1877, Irom the See. Treas. of the Orange Hall, Vroomanton, setting forth that the past parliamentary and the late municipal cl tion were held in the Orange Hall, Vroom- anton and that a charge of $2 is made for each election, From the Tru tees of the Polico Village of Cannington asking the council to levy on the property of the said village to the amount of $15 to defray the current expenses for the present year, From the Co. Clerk setting forth that the amount required to be raised by the township for. gencral county purposes is - $2684 and $763 for Co. school purposes. A complaint was lodged against one Foster for annoying neighbors by throwing out re- fuse from his slaughter house, The Reeve said jt was certainly time that some action was taken to collect the amount of julgmént held by this corporation against the Toronto & Nipissing the gravel suit ; Railway Co'y on he would like to hear the mind of the council on the matter, action ought to be taken now to collect the amount. After a few remarks from the D. Reeve the council adjourned for dinner, Council resumed: Mr. Kelley #sked a grant on the 4th con. opposite lot 10, Mr. Cunningham represented that Mr. Rennie had dug a ditch along the road side in Lis premises, which would benefit the road toa considerable extent, that without taking the road into account he would have made the ditch but he had taker more care in placing the stuff he dag out so that the toad might benefit by the work as much possible, Mr. Rennie did not claim thing from the township but he as any- considered that if the council did give him something they would be doing no more than right and they are getting value ia the improvement of the road, If the council thought right to allow him something on his statute labor next year he would be satisfied After a few remarks from the Reeve the and one or two members of council matter dropped On motion of blr, nningham the by-law making appropriations for roads and bridges 8 read a third time and passed.

He was fined $2 and costs, $6.10 in all Information was then terest and nothing can be lost by holding on | laid against Hall for neglecting his duty in for a-time. He would perfer trying some other means before seeking to enforce the judgment. Mr Shire said he had no desire to go to law in his own private business he was care ful to avoid it ; but the township had already sued their claim and got judgment and he | considers that it would be rightand proper for the township to go on aud enforce the 'payment he has no fears but 'that the money can be collected and he would be for pressing it, Mr Cunningham is somewhat at a loss to decide as to the best course to pursue, he wants to see the township get the money but he is.not quite clear as to the best way to get at it, would be glad if an arrangement could be come to with the Co'y without fur- ther law, he thinks fiat it might be if the Cumpnny were written to or perhaps waited on that they might settle without further law. Mr Thompsen is doubtfal as to the effects of further law he wants the Co'y should pay the money but he would not recommend sinking more of the township funds in law until at least they had some idea of collect- ing the amount from the Co'y. The Reeve said that in every instance in transacting the business of the township he is as careful and cautious as.if it were his own business and were he individually plac- ed in the same position as the township now is he certainly would press the judgment. Mr. Amey would recommend that a com- mittee be appointed to wait on the president of the co'y and try to settle without further law it possible. Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Thompson coinciding in this view it was ddkired to ap- point the Reeve, but as the Reeve declined Mr: Amey was appointed to wait on the pres. ident and endeavor to scttlo without further law, ° Mr. Cunningham said on representation made to him and on consideration of the matter he considered that it was scarcely fair that four of the hotel keepers in the town. ship had been charged $20 éach more for, their license than the other hotels in the township and also considering the passage of the Dunkin by-law in this county it would only be justice to these four to have the extra $20 refunded to them. While he is no friend to the traffic, opposed as he is to the sale of liquor yet he would wish to see justice done to all. It was objected that there had always been two grades of hotels in: the township and that the first class always paid more than the second, It was suggested by Mr. Amey that the mover should so ammend his motion as to refund $20 to Mr, Winfield and $10 to the other three. Mr. Cunningham would consent to that, The Reeve said he would not consent to any such arrangement, if there is any amount to be refunded let the four be made alike and he would not object but he wishes to see justice done to all. Mz. Thompson would be willing to refund $10 to cach of the four, Mr. Cunningham so amended his motion that 10 should be refunded to each of the two hotel keepers in Sunderland and each of the two in Cannington. --Carricd, On motion of Mr, Shicr an order was granted for four dollars for the Vroomanton Orange Iall for the use of it on two elections Mr. six ewes and two lambs kill d by dogs and four lambs damaged.

Dear Sir,--Knowing that you at all times take a deal of interest in our municipal mat: ters I wish through your paper to call the attention of the council of the township of Reach to the disgraceful state of the road north of Port Perry through the 7th con. of the township. The council are, as I under- stand their office, elected to do common jus- tice to all, and I am sure in order to deal out common justice to this pgrtion of the town- ship which they are in duty bound to look after, steps should at once be taken to have this disgracetul portion of road properly re. paired, The worthy Reeve should at once inspect the road and have it made good, Something should be done at once I would recommend that all along through the low land, where the Beaver Meadow creck crosses the road, should be well brushed and covered with gravel as the lake in the Spring of the year makes it almost impassible, Yours Truly, RATEPAYER.
