The municipal warriors have fairy taken the field, and the campaign is now at ifs height, The smokeless powder now in use does not wake the smudge which municipal fights once made but still the fights are hot. In the township of Brock the con- testants are Mr. Jas. Vrooman and Mr. Jas. St. John for the Reeveship. 1st D. Reeve--Mr. W. J. Gibhs aud Mr. G. St, John. 2nd D. Reeve--Mr Jas. Umphrey and -- Thompson. For Councilor--Messrs. W. Brethour, Jas. McCully and 8. Pangman. | In Cartwright there are four in the | field for Uouncil, viz. : Messrs. Anson | Taylor, Peter Holt, D.

There are only three | wanted so that some one must be cut | off. { In Scugog there will be no fight for | the office of reeve Mr. Ham having | heen elected by acclamation. Messrs. | Stevens for Councilor, Messrs. Barnett and Munro contest the reeveship ; Messrs. McOulloch and | Weir the 2nd deputy, and Messrs. Thos | Lamb, R. Stretton and Wm.

As that event is not likely to tuke place during the present century, it was thought that of the position of reeve of Port Perry, if be should spend teu or a dozen years before commencing his long reign it would make the tedium of pear less disgusting. However, Mr, | Curts is now in the field for the reeve- | ship.

The property on the op- posite side of the street is much im- proved in appearance, conifort and value by the change and cerlninly the property inclosed appears to mach great- er advantage behind its neat new fence.

The closing | of the school on Friday last was made | quite interesting. The feelings mani- important | | | fested between the teachers and | children and between parents and teachers were of the most agreeable natire and manifested themselves in the-most decided manner. The children held a concert in the afternoon and pre- sented their teachers with handsome | and appropriate gifts as tokens of the high estimation in which the teachers are held by their pupils. The teachers made suitable presents to the children and a most agreeable time was enjoyed by all present, The head teacher the sume time presented the caretaker with a handsome gift in proof of his appreciation of the careful and satis- factory manner in which she had dis charged her duties as caretaker, The best wishes of the section go witli the teachers to their new tields of labor.
