The'political contest which raged _ with maddened fury over this fair Dominion during the latter part of last month and which in its ravages ® * swept from the face of the earth Ee almost the entire fabric of the rear : ranks of the Grit forces, has now completely subsided, the weary have gone to sleep and the wounded to die ; and nothing more is now heard over the surfaco of the political waters than the bubbling groan of some grit swimmer straggling for sweet life amid the angry billows. -- While the rank and file have passed quietly away Mr. Mackenzie and his unworthy associates die hard, they have been struggling in the agonics of death since the 17th ult.. to go forward is impossible, to go backward intolerable; they know that their doom is fixed, they know that they are ahout to be driven in- to outer political darkness where there shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, and while they cannot provent they seek to retard their doom. It is little wonder that the people should rest and be thankful after so derisive, so important a victory, well may the people exclaim in raptures, O God ! to seo what guilt has lost' and ark what truth has won!-- The polities of our country has been regenerated as it were ina "day, the freo and independent electors of whatever shade of poli- ties have ricen in their might and in thunder tones declared that hypo- _eriny, incapacity, corruption, and waste should no longer be tolerated away the destinies of 'country ; and that from: this time L wire, judicions and ation will be a sine qua io of office. That arty or that will be who hold the reins of , government is the 2; while the Nation- | 1u- | cheerful od ~ The township of Brock oriosls iety held their fall show on Tuesday and Wednesday, 9th and 110th inst. Tuesday was all that could be desired pleasant and agree- able and favorable for bringing in and fitting up those artcles | which go to make up the floral h. 11 and a magnificent supply was put in, thoroughly arranged and judged ready for the following day--the grand day of the show. The second day opened bright and and encouraging to the prospects of a successful show.-- The success of the show in the floral nificenc display which was brought in the first day and not a little an-- xiety was now felt for tho success of (the outside department--the more important part of the show in an agricultural sense, we refer to the live stock, &ec., which are not brought in till the second day. The ladies had displayed an energy and intelligence worthy of the fair daughters of the banner township of the county. Now all depended on the energy of the sterner sox for tl e extent and importance of the outside show to crown the success of the whole. The village of Sunderland now appeared to much advantge her largely increased population creat- od quite a rush while everything was done for the accommodation and comfort ot the rapidly arriving gusts. Magnificent specimens of horses cattle, sheep, swine; &c, &c, were hurrying in and being proper- ly arranged. On entering the hall the cent display of blankets, quilts of every variety, coverlets, &e., &e such as would do credit 10 any show and wero not surpassed either in appearance or quality even at our provincial exhibition. The manngy in which these were arranged added considerably to thedisplay and gave full effect to the superior claims of the several specimens of the dexteity and skill of the fair competitors.-- In fancy work the display was grand las well in quality, quantity and variety. The pleasing combination of the utile dulci seemed to bo pre- served throughout while the superior taste of the ladies was displayed in all, the useful no less than the ornamental is neve~lost sight of. Whether in works of the dairy, the kitchen or the parlor the activity and industry of the gentle exhibitors manifest themselves over all. magnifi- The specimens of penmanship were justly admired by all, Mr. Umphrey deserved a first prize and doubtless would bave got it, bad it nol been for the magnificent writ- ing of Mr. N. E. Briggs, which was as near perfection as need be. It is no discredit to Mr. Umphrey or any other penman to take a second prize whero Mr. Brigks competes for Mr. Briggs is decided- ly one of the best penmen in the Dominion, and one of the most suc- cessful instructors of that invalu- able art. The Port Perry Marble Works had a tombstone on exhibition which for superior quality, excellence of of workmanship and fine taste, can- not fail in recommending that es- tablishment to all who may require any thing in that line. Mr. McKenzie, of Port Perry, who is now well known all over as one of the best photopraphers any where to be found as well for the truthfulness of his pictures as the superior taste and skill displayed in their execution, had here a magni- ficent display of photographs. The Grain and Roots were also ex hibited in the hall. The show of Grain was quite extensive and the quality was surprisingly fine for this roason and goes far to prove the superior grain growing qualities of the soil of that fine township. The display of roots was oa a magnificent scale, the pumpkins, squashes, mangolds, &c., surpassed all former shows, carrots are very good but potatoes, turnips, &c., are not up to those of former shows.-- Really this fine hall was an orna- ment to the township and an honor to all through whose efforts so splendid and exhibition 'was secured the simple witnessing of which eannot fail in rising ambition and inducing others to gon do hkewiso. The show of Butter is well deserving of special notice. We have no hesitation in stating that whether for quantity or quality this was the best show of butter exhibited at any show in the Province, during the present year, From fifteen to sixteen hun-- dred pounds of really choice butter at one show is something good, and while the judges must have had a difficulty in placing the prizes, the prize-takers have reavon to feel proud of their success.

The Sheep and Pigs were very good, but time forbids us even to touch them, The vast number of people who attended the show and the financial results are highly encournging. The two excellent hotels bad all they could do to attend to their guests but they did it well, everything was in abundance the supply of the tables was both ehoice and plentiful and got up in & style crediable to the township as well as to those concerned in waiting on the guests.

Port Perry, Puss Hip Round: | Portinps the most ¢ despicable Jinkion in life, and one that should be frowned down in the most unequivocal manner is that of the moral vulture who seeks to prey, live and fatten on the fruits of the plodding industry, persevering efforts, and well directed talent Professor Holloway, of London, England, had by an ordinary life time of unremitting getting along very well, but must have it fucorporated. al they must bear the consequences, the township | has vo more right to interfere with them They may build all the bridges they please and make what appropriations they wish, but they cannot expect that the ratepayers of the 'township shall be taxed for these repairs. Mr Johnston said he had expected that the Reeve would object to the grant, this is only to be expected from his course all OK | study, regardless of expense, succeeded in. " Holloway's Pills and Ointment,'"' which have deservedly secured for him a world- ! ized world, and in much of that which is yet Ointment have found their way they have soon become universal favorites, and the better they are known the more highly they are prized, But the well merited reputation of these medicines induce parties to seek to reap part of Prof. Holloway's hard earned harvest, and the public ought carcfully to gnard against spurious stuff, which is sought to be palmed off upon them as the gennine article, A Joseph Haydock, of New York, is at the head of the sneaking fraternity whose insolence is equal to his capidity. In order to more successfully palm off his spuri- ous stuft upon the public he has the impu- dence to claim to bean agent of Professor Holloway, This is a matter which concerns the public more than it does the Professor, for the public must be the greater sufferers by the fraud, While the genuine Pills and d their efficacy, and all that know them use snccess ; but the spurious atuff got up by an ignorant pretender is not only unrelinble but dangerous. Of all imposters the 'most dastardly and dangerous is he who, regard- lessof the health and life of the community, will palm his trash upon the public under the guise of that which is reliable and pro- ven to be valuable. Look out for Joseph and give him and his fraudulent Pills and Ointment a wide berth. Professor Halloway has carefully guarded the interests of the public by putting his trade mark on all his medicines, and partios should not purchase without examining the ¢ trade mark.' A Fatal Upset. We regret to record the death by drowning of Aaron P. Stapleton, a young man aged 5 years aud 6 months, Deceased went out duck shooting on feugog 1 ake on Wednesday, 9th inst. He with a young man named Charles Lebare took « boat and went on Joe morning, and about 1 nm. seeing an approaching squall they mare for shore dy in rounding Platten's point the squall struck the frail eraft and npset her throwing her occupants into the water. Poor Stapleton was drowned. The body has not vet been recovered. Mr. Lebare and boat dritted to the shore. Much sympathy 1s felt for the relatives of deceased in this their sad calamity.

The above Council met in the Town Hall, instant, -- The minutes of the A communication from the Solicitor 'of the Toronto and Nipissing Railway Company regarding the claims which the Township has on the Company, fighting all round the subject and hinting at an offer, but of only a small portion of the claim, The Reeve was instructed to press the claim, A communication was read asking the whereabonts or any information regarding one John Burk. A Mr. John Johnston presented an account of $20, being $1750 for maintaining = fouridling child twelve days and digging a grave for the same, and $2.50 for medicine for the child when sick. On motion of Mr, Cunningham, the sum of $11 was ordered to be paid in full of the above, Mr. A. McKay presented an acdeunt of $5 for providing a coffin for the foandiing child, On motion of Mr. Amey an order was ranted for $2 in full of the above. Mr. Archibald Campbell's account of $1 55 for repairs on scraper was presented. On motion of Mr, Shier the account was ordered to be paid. On motion of Mr. Cunningham the sum of $14 was appropriated on the Town Line between Reach 'and Brock to meet a like appropriation made by Reach. Council adjourned for dinner, Council resumed, Mr. Cunningham represented to the Council that Mr. D. Carmichael had called his attention to a piece of road in that neigh- borheood now in a bad condition, but about $10 would make the necessary repairs, Mr, Johnson came before the Council ask- ing a grant ro assist in building a bridge in Carnington, He said the bridge would cost 1 considerable, hut if the Council would grant the price of the timbers, say §65 or $70, the Village would do the rest by subscription. The Reeve sald Mr. Johnson could not be serious in asking a grant from the Township to build a bridge in Cannington, seeing that Canni is to all int muni. cipality, and the Council dare not, if they would appropriate the money of the township for bridges in another corporation surely Mr. the ratepayers of the Township help to pay | for a Lridge in Caunington which is now a {separate corporation.' Mr, Johnston said it was not yet a gepar- ate corporation, and if it were it would be no less unreasonable that the Council should give a grant to a bridge of so much import- ance than that the Council should interfere and control the laying down of sidewalks which the Vill nington had paid for out of their own pockets, and a | portion of that sidewalk had been laid so as to convenience the Reeve himself. The Reeve replied that the Council iY ouly sympathise with Mr Perkins and nd his interfered in order to secure justice to al Mr. J.

The Reeve said he had no feeling in the matter, and individually it made little mat- ter to him whether the grant was given or not. It wonld be a simple matter to be generoas with other people's money but as Reeve of the Township he cannot consent to tax the ratepayers for improvements in another corporation, and he will be glad to hear from the other members of Council. Mr. Amey raid that the appropriations having all been made and the rate struck there is now no fund from which such a grant eonld be made.. He would net be opposed to granting something from the Township to a work of go much importance to tke village, and that will be an important street for travel, and will command much of the travel. But he thought that if the people of that locality were willing to divert part of the appropriations alréady made for that locality to hélp in the construction of this bridge that the Conncil would not ohject. The Reeve raid that such being the case the opening of this road would injure the more traveled portion of the village by drawing the traffic from it and thus that por- tion of the village would be injured. Mr. Johnston said this was the first time he had ever heard such an argument used against giving a grant foran improvement, and from this time forward he will never again come before this Council for a dollar of grant for any purpose. Mr. Brown said the Council would think better of it, they must ree that it would be wrong to retard so important a work by re- fusing a small grant, ~~ He and Mr. Johnson while he lives at one end of the street and Mr. Johnston at the other, have no reference to their own personal advantage but to the interest of the village at large. The Reeve said such a gront would be illegal, the Conn®® cannot make such a grant to another municipality without ren- dering themselves liable. Mr. Cunningham said there is now no fund from which sucha grant could be made, hint aside from the fact of incorporation, were Canningion a part of the Township as formerly they have little eanse of complaint on the score of appropriations. Cannington and ite immediate vicinity have been liber- ally dealt with in way of giants, Here the matter dropped and the deputa- tion withdrew, Mr Mc Phaden complained of the unsafe condition of a bridge ner his place on the 7th con. Messrs, Thompson and Cunningham were 'appoirted a committee to attend to the matter, Mr. Geo. Thompson brought in an ac- count of £11.55 for geaveling on the 6th con. He said he was aware that the account was a little more than the contract price he did not care anything abont the money, but having done the work well, and having a poor paying job at that he expected when his job wae done to get the pay, hut that was refused and now he claimed interest at ten per cent, since the job was done, and he also included pay for the time and tronble in coming after it, The contract was 34 rods gravel at 27 cts a rod 89,18. The Reeve granted an order for the am't tnt Mr, Thompson demurred at receiving it withont the interest and cost of coming after it. Mr. Richardson, the Collector for 1876 appeared before the Council regarding a balance againet him of $16 as shown by the andit of that year. Mr. Johnston eaid he was not a little surprised when he learned that there was any balance egainst him, and he thinks if he had been present when the matter was being considered he would not have any balance against liim, as he could have explained how the thing was, He has, however, partly ex amined the matter with Mr. Glendinning, and he thinks that $10 was the full amount of the balance and while he did not see how any balance shonld be against him yet he would consent to pay the $10. Thé Reeve said it was singular that the audit should get forth $16 and now one of the auditors should say that it was only $10 Mr, Johnston explained that it had been his own mistake; certain tenants who had been assessed had removed before the collector came round, the proprietor had to pay the taxes but they were not bound to pay for any dogs owned by the tenant. In these cases as in others when he got the taxes he marked them paid without making a memorandum of the dog or dogs which had not been paid for and the Auditors find. ing them all marked paid charged we with 'the amount, Some of these 1 explained to Mr, Glendinning and he saw where I had made the mistake. On motion of Mr. Thompson the indebt- edness was placed at, $10.) Mr. James St. John compl of a bridge in the 6th con., which is in an nn. safe condition, On motion ot Mr. Shier, Messrs Thomp- son and Cunninghsm were appointed to at- tend to the bridge. Mr. Cunningham stated that he had not attempted to use the appropriation made for the Vroomanton bridge as he considered it |' quite insufticient to make such repairs as are required and to attempt with $20 or so would only waste the money and effect no best informed in that locality.

The insolent frand practiced on the ballot box in this division is the most refreshingly cool piece of ingolent fraud which has yet come under our notice ; the " Big Push," the "Come along John's" and such like are the very essence of political virtue and moral rectitnde when compared with this moral swindle. At this division, as at all others, a Deputy Returning Officer was appointed in the ordinary way, and. he in time engaged the premises for cartying on the election ; and all nppeared fair till the morning of the election, when all at once a change was made in the Deputy Returning Officer, one Farget being appointed to the position.-- Farget's first move was to select a new loco= tion for carrying on the election, and what follows will render this now notorious Farget a Forget.me not. The Candidates were Mr. Gironard in the Conservative: interest and Mr, LaFlamme in the Gritinterest: It appears that Mr, Farget did not forget his bread and butter, and supposing that the Mackenzie Government might get a new lease of power, and that Mr. LaFlamme should continue to caricature Minister of Justice, and would not forget a miserable tool ready to do anything and everything to secure his election. Well the election went on, and ail appear. ed to go smoothly along until the time came for the plot to take effect, and according to order, some twenty minutes before the time ill and had to leave the polling place, but previous to his doing so he placed the ballot box in a cupboard and locked it up, and left with all the appearance of an honest man, The cupboard had been previously prepared | 5 for the occasion, it had got a sliding bottom, and immediately under this there had been a trap-door made in the floor so that one of Forget's fellow conspirators in the cellar beneath could open the trap-door, shift the bottom of the cupboard, take down the ballot box and cook the ballots to suit himself, so taking down the ballot box he took out fifty ballots marked for the Conservative candi. Mr. Girounard, and substituted fifry others which he had prepared and marked for the Grit candidate, LaFlamme, Mr. Mackenzie's Minister of Justice 7 Yes, of Justice | Péople generally supposed that the ballot in this section wonld be pretty equally divided between the two candidates, but when the count came the Conservative can. didate was nowhere, only some dozen ballots were found marked for him, When it be- cigne known that there were so few for Mr Girouard, it seemed somewhat strange and an investigation was demanded. Over sixty came forward and swere that they bad marked their ballots for Mr, Girouard at that polling place on that day ; so an investigation was instituted and the whole plot discovered -- fligh Constable Bissounetts was employed to investigate the fraud, and succeeded in bringing the whole to light, Hediscovered the trap door in the floor, the sliding bottom in the cupboard and even found the fifty ballots marked for Gironard, which had been taken out of the box, and the honest [7] Printer who furnished the fifty extra ballots to be cooked for Mr. LaFlamme is also known, This is hoisting the standard of parity with a vengeance. LaFlamme is a fitting subject for Muckenzie's special favors, --_-- ay BIRTHS. In Cartwright, on Friday. Sept 27th, the wife of Mr. James Coates, of a son, MARRIED. By the Rev. Edgerton R.
