The defenders of their 'heartfis and homes are doing their best fo withstand the shock, to .

Buth important additions and changes speak well for the present condition and future prospects of Port : Perry as an * important business cen- tre, A plausible, oily tongued syocophant with brass enough in his face to make a potash kettle favored Port Perry with his obnoxious presence a couple or three weeks ago. This was a well defined representative of that special paid every year so that at the end of | class of parasites to whom honest ten years interest and principal will have been paid. Of course by the end of ten years the corporation will have paid $18,800 for the $10,000 received, that is the interest, during the ten years will amount to $8,800. But on ratepayers of Port Perry are much softer than we jtake them to be if they are just silly enough to vote on the by-law with the scale of payments as set forth in "the by-law. The scale as given in by-lawis simply a fraud, not neces- sarily got up for fraudulent purposes but any such scale would be a fraud on the ratepayers all the sme. The by-law setg forth : 4 For the tof interest dur- ing the Te the said deben- tures there be rpised annually the sum of Six Hundred Dollars, and for the payment of the said debt there shall be raised annually the sum or One Thousand DoHars."" Or $1,600 will be_ raised annually for ten years to pay a debt which an annual payment of $1,880 will pay.-- According to the above scale in ten years the corporation will have paid $16,000 or $2,700 more than the principal and 'interest call for. We may be told that though' more is col- leoted it won't be paid to parties hold- ing the debentures but will be devoted to other purposes of the municipality. This is all very fine but 'what is the use of raising money for debentures and devoting it to other purposes? whateyer purposes require money money should be raised directly for these purposes and the ratepayers wonld know what they are doing, and _|if Councils inclined to be reckless poting the divisions of the spoils.-- * Germany is putting in her claim for a share of the plunder and wondering; how slie can get her finger into the pie when the scramble comes, : Latest accounts say that the British «forces are rapidly accumulating and 'maprowing the eirclearound the patriot +. band while the Egyptians. on their part are no less busy in ereching de- § fensive works. According to present plans the defenders will make their grand stand, if driven from their present defencos, at Cairo. An. im- portant engagementieannot be deferred and from the word go the they could not thus get money under false pretences ds raising money on dobentures and applying it to other purposes would be. Perhaps we may be told that as the instalments of the debentures are being paid and a less rate is required that a less rate will be collected. What under heaven would induce any one to get up a by- law and write * Burlesque" across its face, and what better would it be than. a burlesque to set forth in the by-law that $1,600 would be collected third annually while a less rate is collected. What body. of ratepaying would foler- ate any such elap-trap. All such labor is insufferable but to whom straight lying is a pleasant cocupation and which they try to make as profit- able as possible. The knave referred to tried on the album swindle here with some success. He called on most of the business and professional men in town offering for $1.50 to place their business card large and finely displayedin half a dozen albums to be left at the principal hotels in the town and its surroundings. The albums were to contain on alfernatp pages with the cards likenesses of in- teresting characters as well foreign as Canadian, this would make the albums gtiractive and parties in turning them up would.come in contact with the bus- iness cards. The thing was regarded as quite a hit and merchants, manu- facturers and professional men grabbed at the bait with avidity and poured their dollar fifties into the honest hand of the swindler. Having ob- tained all the money he could he decamped failing to leave 'his albums and not even paying for this adver- tisement His business name in Port Perry was but of course he will hdve other names for other places ------ Another Hnpoitans Bduoationsl At the late Examinations of cand- didates for Intermediate certificates held at the several localities throngh- out the Province ' set. apart for that purpose, a vast army of the hope of our country, of the leading men and wgmen of the near future, presented themselves and hooked for the race.-- There wore three prizeSoffered : First, 2nd class A nop-professional teachers' certificates; Becond, 2nd class B non- professional teachers' certificatos; and Third, the intermediate standing or 8rd class non-professional teachers' certificates.

There was a - public meeting of this character in the town hall here on Tuesday evening last as in tao almost all public meetings partake more or loss of this character, The objeots of the meeting as set forth' in the Posters ware numerous and' 'ex- tensive, such us the Lighting of the town; a Water Works 'scheme ; the securing of a branch of the Ontario, & 'Quebec Railway and the Construction ot a roadway cross the Scugog to the Cartwright Shore. : The Reeve of the municipality] A called to the chair and Mr. the firm of Abbs & Paterson'y Fi on pointed Secretary: Tho 8 were Messrs. Major, Rolph, Richard- son, Wright, Forman, Nott, Paterson, and Ham. The several subjects were tak and discussed with more or less warmth. The following resolutions were the outcome of the disoussions and the result of the meeting. A resolution was passed approving in general terms ofany feasible scheme for building a branch conneeting Port Perry with the Ontario and Quebec Railway, A resolution was passed recommend- ing such action by the corporation as will ensure at as early a date as pos- sible the'construction of the Cartwright 'Bridge. a Prince Albert Sidewalks. ~ Now that Mr. Park, pathmaster for Prince Albert road division, has got bis work com pleted the villagers, aye and the: township have cause to feel proud .ot the fine condi- tion in which these sidewalks arc now left. Mr, Park deserves the thanks of all for the thorough state of repair in which he has put tho sidewalks and for the excellent value ho has given for the money appro- priated for that-purposdfifBuch villagers de- serve a good side walk for they are ready as soon as asked, to put their hauds into their pockets and contribute . gencrously to- wards their construction, close on a hundred dollars was soon collected for that purpose and Mr. Park invested the money well. But no sidewalk can | stand the tare and wear of pigs rooting! them up, cattle and old horses tramping over them not only increaring the-ont lay but ehdaug- ering the limbs of the passers and exposing the 'muvicipality to damages for injuries received. "But we may bid adiue to side= walks if they are to be exposed to the further depre tations of full grown men whofe duty it is to protect such property not ¢nly to avoid injuring it themselves but to Ro others from injuiing it.

"We, as rato. payers of the municipality,do protert against the manuer fu whith the:work is being done as the walk in front ot Mr. Robert Thomp- son's store and Mr, A.

Arthur Milter; one of the commissioners appointed to expend the appropriation and being also patbmaster. on the beat, is, in our opinion, doing an injustice to Mr. P. Carr, a ratupayer in the village, by plowing up and scraping away the dirt from the fron of his property te the very great detriment of said property ; he has gone eighteen fuches 'below the level of said property making the approach to it very difficult.
