This is a marked compliment to the old council stamping their acts in the past year with the unanimous ap- probation of the ratepayers. In Seugog they returned their Reeve, Mr. Grabam, by acclamation and they have nominated almost every man in the township for the office of councilor some sixteen in all. Oar Scugog friends show- ed ford judgment in the re- turn of their Reeve by acclamation and they exhibited acharacteristic liberality in giving almost every man in the municipality a nomina- tion for the council. Port Perry has paid their Reeve a a decided compliment in again re- turning him by acclamation; the compliment was well merited. We consider that the acts of the retiring council will bear the strictest seru- tiny and had they all been return- ed by acclamation the compliment would not have been unmerited.-- Messrs M.

He had not had an oppor= tunity of making complaint to the court of Revision as he had not received a slip und DEVOT Riven thre Wo Ta boon assveocd arr the Collector demanded the taxes. He would regard it as most unfuir that he should be asked to pay taxes under the circumstances, The Assessor was heard in explanation, he said he did not leave a slip with Mr. Brien, that he had left it with a neighbor named Blake, that Blake had said that it was not expected that Baca should 'pay the taxes, but he (the Assessor) had to comply with the requirements ot the law and assess every occupant without reference to any agreement as to paying taxes or not. Did not expect from what Mr, Blake had said that Mr. Brico would have to pay the taxes Mr, Brien seid that even the name was not properly entered his surname was only Brien while it was entered on the lis O'Brien.
