Whe semi-annanl session of the County Council will be held next week when several matters of con- siderable interest will doubtless be brought before that body. Our counties councils sncered ut by would be knowing- ones; but it is not quite so easy to and no one can fail to perceive that - our Local Legislature never miss an scribblers rave over big taxes, but, opportanity ot belittling and snubb ing our Counttes uncils. The facts are patent but the reasons are not quite so obvious. We are not at all surprised that onr more stipid local lewixlators seek to snub and if possible blot ow our counties councils altogether as by doing so the field for the local legislature would be vastly enlarged und thus give that body an impor- | tance which it never can have while county councils exist. branches counties councils are by all odds the more important and by extending somewhat the powers of counties' councils and enlarging that wf the Dominion Parliament the entire suppresion of our local legis- lature, or it may be its reduction to fifteen or twenty men all told would he antep in the right direction. -- We well believe that the number of members of "our.county councils would stand reducing without im- paring their efticiency ; Reeves of municipalities alone being consider- ed eligible as members. There is no reason why our county councils should be regarded as ir any way inferior to our local legislature either in point of intelligence, pat-- riotism, legislative capacity or moral worth. In the first place our members of council receive $2 per day for their services while the members of our local legislature get 820 per day aod give less value than county eouncilors. The Acts of our local legisistare seldom hold water and many of them won't hold buttermilk, few of our local legis- lators appear to understand their own Acts, scarcely two of t:em read them the same way, and it is not till after they have been trimmed amended, turned upside down, and read backwards that people kuow anything of them or they are at all Bt tw appear before the public. If we compare man for man, the mem- bers of our county council with the members of the local legislature which will suffer from the compari. son? Everyone is familiar with the men and can make the compari: son for himself. If the lack of red ope, small salaries, the absence of ' jobbery and general economy ot our wounties councils be a sufficient reason for the taxpayers who foot » the bills tosneer at counties councils them they may go on with their meaningless Lneer. That Canada has just cause to feel phuvd of them mbers of her conn cils cannot be deni Dy any one knowing anything of the stamina of the men who compose these councils. The best interests of a country are safe in such hatids and our council- ors will fail in their duty to the country and to the bodies of which they form a part if they neglect to watch the encroachments and repel the attacks of the local legislature who from session to session lose no opportunity of sapping the influence and curtailing the powers of County councils. There in no position in the gift of the people m.re honor- able than that of Warden of a county , to be selected as end by the selected of the several! mani- cipalities is a position which would are frequently abuse us and letting them take shelter behind his execvable "we" |B) knowing us he well does, that no one will blame him, for all know that be cannot write a sentence were it to save him from hia deserts. | Maso No!

The village of Seagrave is certain- ly picking up, its appearance ix much changed for the is an evident air of activity and push about it and between building and repairing the prospect is encourng- ing. The fine hotel there is un- dergoing a thorough repair--new floors, new sheds and general repairs throughout. Mr. Dennison is pro- prietor and parties may rely on every comfort and convenience in the Nornquon House. Mr. Miller is building a fine resi- idence. The rzcently built church and its new shed and other new buildings and repairs give to this pleasantly located village a lively appearance and fairly sets it on in its forward march. Neddy as a Financier. Somebody has been going through our dear, poor Neddy; itis said that they have made him Treasurer of some "Gospel" movement. It may be that some kind brother will keep his account for him and take care of the cash, if there is any to handle--a second book graduate is scarcely equal to the task. Treas- urer! O dear! Goodness, gracious, Neddy dear ! Why did you dare to? But never mind, Neddy, you can be evens with them, if you keep the funds as faithfully as you keep your temperance pledge you won't be the first to regret the appointment. If the pledge was so formed for Neddy's special benefit, that be should be prohibited only from pay- ing for the stingo he covers but that he might swill all he conld eponge or get for nothing, then we would go his security to any amount that he would keep his pledge as fuith- fully as any honest temperance man won'd keep the ordinary pledge.-- But, Neddy dear. you must not sup. pose that the duties of a "Gospel" temperance treasurer are, to such as you, as agreeable as the duties of the Minister of Private works. A® a magnificent grinner Neddy isa success that's his forte. ------ Anniversaries.--Remember the Sur School anniversaries on Sunday ard M 6th and. 10th of June.

Mr Parliament's dog was ordered to be en~ tered on the roll, John Bambray was also charged for a dog which had been omitted. An indigent young lady came before the enuncil asking advice and assistance with the view to getting an infant which she had with her, admitted to the Orphan's Home, Toronto.

Mr Canningham introduced and carri- ed through its first reading a by-law to levy and cllect from all the ratavle property within the limits of the Police Village of Cannington, the sum. of $400 for the purpose of building sidewalks within the limits of said village. Mr, C. W. Moore, Fenelon Falls, com- pliains that his village lots in Cannington are assessed too high, On investigation it was found that said lots were were not higher than similar pro- perty in the village and the appeal was dis missed. "Mr. Campbell, of the Queen's Hotel, Can- nington, anpealed against his assessment under 14g altered couditions introduced by the enforcement of the Dunkin Act he re- garded $6,000 too high an assessment for the hotel. The court took the matter into considera. tion and reduced the assessment to $5,000. D. Brown complained that his property is assessed at $4,500 which he considers too high for 100 acres of such land, On comparing the property with similar property in the the neighborhood the ass- essment was reduced $2 au acre, The court arose for dinner, Court resumed.

L Johnson and the mover, > Mr Thompson said that as & matepayer in the village he objected to being dictated to by the council as to who should be the com- missioners, all the ratepayers wanted of the council was for them to authorize the levy- ing of the amount requirgd, the ratepayers of the village will pay it and they will ap- point their own Commissioners, and they have a perfect right to make the selection to expend their own money. The Reeve said he quite understood the plans that bad been suggested butif Mr, Thompson or anyone else expected to get the outside farmers to build walks and make improvements round the doors of the villagers withont their having any say in the matter they will find themselves mis. taken and if objections are pressed against the Commsssioners he will give up the whole thing and have nothing more to say in it iv Cunningham would consider that it is #nly right that the party who pay the money should have the selection of the com- missioners, ~ Mr Thompson says that is all that we the increase still he did not wish to take any advantage of the council and would leave the matter of salary entirely in their hands. The ¢lerk called the attention of the coun- cil to a communication fron the council of Oartwright offering to expend $50 on the town line of Cartwright and Reach on con- dition that the Reach council grant a like sunt, Mr. Clarkson called the attention of the Council to a report of the proceedings of the late meting Council as reported in the Opserver, wherein it was stated that Mr, Vilson's statute labor be taken from the | eat on which he usually performed it. He would like to know if it wae intended to deprive that beat of the statute labor of 300 acres, especially as the labor was so much more required on the town lime than on the district line. Under no circumsfances could the statute labor of Mr. Black's 200 acres be taken from that beat especially as there was 80 large a beat on the Mariposa side of the town line, Mr. Clarkson presented a petition pray- ing for a graut on the town line between Brock and Reach, Petition laid on the table. Mr. Clarkson represented to the Council that James Murray bad lost four good horses and considered that his pevsonal property should be reduced. On motion of Mr. Dobson $100 wag stri'ck off from the personal property of Mr. Murray. Mr Clarkson brought the claims of one Webster and his family before the council and requested that semething should be done for them as they were in indigent cir- cumstances, The application was laid on the table. Mr Rainey said he saw by a report of the proceedings of the council in the OBSERVER that the council had appropriated $30 when $200 had been asked for repairs between lots 18 and 19 ia the 14th cou., he could tell the council that $30 would do no good there and that 1t would be as well to witkhold any grant. Large quantitica of grain are being brought over that road to the Seagrave station and the road is badly cut wp. Put ting on dirt kerved no purpose as it soon washes away and he would like to know ~hat $30 would do. Robt. Richardson applied for a grant on the side road between lots 18 and 19, in the 14th con., he eaid the round is in a fearful state especially the hill. When he saw the Council passing on to inspect that road he pitied them and prepared his bushel basket to pick up the. fragments of that corporate body. Mr. Thomas advocated the formation of a new road beat on the side line between lots 18 and 19, in the 14th con, The road would be of the greatest advantage to par- ties coming to market, ~The road now is in a wretched state. Mr. Rainey, pathmaster on the adjoining beat, tully corroborated the statements of Mr Thomas as to the necessity for the beat. On motion of Mr Dobson, a new beat was formed as suggested, and Mr G Brown was appointed pathmaster., Messrs Williams, Lang and Rodman ap- peared on behalf of a grant of $25 on the Tih line, this with the $75 already granted and a bee they would get up, would make a good Job of it, On motion of Mr Dobson §25 were grant- On motion of Mr Dobson an additional $10 was granted to the $20 granted on the side road between lots 6 and 7 in the 10th con across the swamp. Mr Christie presented the petition of Mr Pheenix and 27-others praying for a grant of this would open tip some fine pasturage for cows in that locality, Mr Leask the necessity for a grant on the line between lots 18 and 19 in the 12th con.

Ewers applied to have the names of Jumes and Robert Burton entered on the assessment roll as owners of the property in place of their mother's name. The Court made the change as required John Stonehouse complained that he had been assessed for two more acres than he owned. 5 The two acres were faken off, The Court reduced James Murray's per- sonal property by $100, The name of Edward Luke was put on the roll as owner and Andrew Williams was en- tered as tenant On motion of Mr Mowbriy the roll as now revised was accepted and the clerk 'inefruct. ed to sign the sanie as the law dirccts.

Mr Crozier stated that he hud attended the past meeting of the Cartwright council and had induced that council to grant $50 on the town line on condition that Reach grant a like sum. Mr. Christie considered that Reach was giv- ing as good as $50 to meet the appropriation of Cartwright by expending $50 on the 3rd con. AH is extensively traveled by the Cartwright people; the township of Reach has certainly dealt liberally with that portion of the township which is so much traveled by the people of Cartwright. On motion of Mr. Dobson, the Clerk was instructed to write to the Provincial Secre- tary for a statement of the amount due this municipality for School purposes. Mr. Beer applied for u grant on the hill near his mill, he considered that that porti n of the township paid large taxes, his own taxes were high, and only $40 had yet been cx, end- ed on that hill.
