That Markdale is a healthy sub stantial and vigorcns business centre, ^oes withoni saying. It progresses slowly bat constantiy, and is fiillng up year by year with a substantial class of buildings, chiefly brick, and each succeeding year surpasses former ones in quality and architectural beauty. Its location is a most desirable one, being neither flat nor hilly, but snffi ciently rolling for good drainage. The water is excellent and abund- ant. The railway station jnst near enough, five minutes walk from the â-  centre. Our buisness men are enter prising and progressive; market always steady and reliable, thereby drawing a large and constantly m creasing trade from the surrounding country. Our citizens are, with very few exceptions, industrious, prosperous and hospitable, but, under the circum- stances quite too content, being bled to the tune of at least $600 a year during the past 10 or a dozen years, by the townships of which we form a part, in the shape of taxes f township rate, Licenres, Fines, Ac.,) over and above the regular rates, and that without any return. Our village has expended some $1,500 in sidewalks, Ac, during that time, but never a dollar did we receive from the muici- palities into whose treasury our tithes have been paid, but raised the amount from the village by special tax in- dependent of the regular township and other rates. Now this kind of thing is growing monotonous, and as there is no prospect of bettering our con- dition without a change of mucicipai relationship, the sooner our village seeks and obtains incorpoi ation the better; this would secure for our town an influence and position of advantage in many respects, besides creating an increased interest in its prosperity and welfare generally. As to the cost of a village council it is customary for such councils to give theirtime gratuitious with the excep- tions of the Clerk and Treasurer, and we are satisfied that less than one half of what we now pay out without getting any return for it, would pay all costs of maintaining such municipal expence while the other half could be used for local improvements, or for improving roads leading to our village.

Polygamy still exists to an alarm- ing extent in Utah, and the State Governor's report, j ust issued, states that the Mormons, who number five- sixths of the population stoutly main- tained an attitude of defiance to the law of Congress. The United States has a great evil to grapple with, but the spirit of the people is to continue to fight until the abominable custom is wiped out of the land. Probably one of the best means to the end is the work that is being conducted by the Christianidenominations among the younger generation of the State. The Sunday-schools are still flourishing despite immense opposition. A (Complete Bbkaxbowit. â€" "Forten years" sys Jennie M. Harrett.of Wallacebnrg.

The devil met him and said:. "For many years thou hast borne the blame of bad spelling your printer has gotten off in the paper, the paper has gone out. for $1, but alas the $1, has not come in. The printer has bedeveUd thee for wages Saturday night when thou hadst not a farthing in thy unpaid-for pants. Men have taken thy paper without paying for it and cursed thee for not having a better one.
