Why Vinton Should be Made the
County Town.
The ar ument-is, sometimes 'advanced that
g.
because some place liar been created the.
county seat of a certain district; no effort.
should ever be made, no matter what circum
stances arise, or how .unfavorably ideated it
might be, to change the same,: es interests;
have been created' and a''species of. .: vested
rights established.. That this is a weak argu--
went is apparent ' at -once, and, needs no• dis-.

We' will,. therefore, —endeavor to
people.
a iu the
e m de
show why.a change 'should.b
county seat of Huron, and wherein. beneficial'
'
results.would follow -such a change. :'
When there was. only one line of railway
in the county, the advantages of Goderich,
were, perhaps, equal to those'of most other.
places, but now that there are two;railwaya,
theyare not. The majorit of those; having

officials, come from sections. considerably re-

count, of all whe'are summoned in a year,
becomes quite an item, and there, are na great
many other -ways wherein'a saving would re-

led.
Another thing to be considered is,, that the
'
business of the county will always he increas-
ing. As th'e country is more fully developed,;,:
of course it will folliwv that , what might, for
convenience, be tertncd "official' business,";
• will also increase, and to facilitate the 'trana
action of such,,,xthe'Countryofficials apd pre-
mises.should be in the place Moat quickly '
and'conveniently accessible. Now, no one will
deny but that Clinton is the place possessing
these requisites,.. 'Geos,rapbically, it is•
as
near the centre,of the county: -as eould be de-
sired, and its railway advantages are,'so an-
parent that reference thereto is - scarcely
necessary.
We -will suppose that the ;county seat was I

business to, transact,, either Iron] ,the north;
,south,'east or west, .he could reach Clinton

points; after transacting his busme`ss �re cou'td--

transact his business, ho',is put .to'a`deal of.
in'convenienoe in "making connection's,' with
the probability --that he.must lie over in•
'Goderichuntil the following day. • '
There is a growing.feelingof'dissatisfaction
among a great many, in the 'county, at the
disadvantages of transacting county business
at present ; this feeling is ,more widespread
than most people suppose, -and some :action,
looking towards a' change of some, kind,,ninst.
be made ere long. ' The matter rests with iho
people, and their representatives willaoon'be
called upon to move in the matter..
VITAi. STATISTICS.
The report of the births, marriages and
deaths, of the Province of Ontario, in the
year_ 1880, has just been issued, from l:which:
we make a few extracts of interest to our
readers. The 'n nater of bytlis regif;tered'in
Huron county in 1880; was 151, ;being ade-
crease .of.1224.over 1879 The number of
EXTREME FOOLISHNESS.
It is telegraphed that the carpenters of
Winnipeg will strike for 87 a day on the lot
of ,April. All laborers have the right to get,.
a
by fair mesas, the highest price they can for
their labor, but a combination'of this nature
is not only wrong, but is likely to result in-
juriously to themselves, as well as to the
rest of the community, because people will
go on building there -as much as
not only not d g.
•
they otherwise would, but they will at once
make.arrangeinenta to get all their carpenter
work done elsewhere; in the shape of heady
made house's, .that can be put together with•
out Inuch trouble. o do this will not tax,
the railways much more than they are now
taxed with freight, as•all the lumber hasnow
to tile -imported.: Besides, the extremely high
wages will induce a larger influx of carpenters
than is really needed, and the consequence
will bethat wages will be ultimately lowered
instead of raised, except for a very brief peri-
od. Rings, combinations, monopolies and
corners are evils' and evils .only, and the re-
sults entail untold loss and misery upon
mankind. The
honest and unfeeling men, and as they have
no n right or conscientious principles within
.a
them the iveutterance to any .falsehood or
they
sophistry that will serve their purpose, ,' and
P
thus work upon .the selfish' principles of their
weak ;agcl misguided followers.
It is to be hoped that there -are some -spills.

To judge ,.from -the reports from that new

what with its land gambling; drinking, licen-

LAST wEEa nearly 500 people left the vari-
ous' towns and farms in the, county to make
homes for themselves in the west. Of this
large nnntber about -one-third were bound for
Dakota. . Now will some of the super -loyal
,
Conservatives papers tell us why they go to -
that' State. The land in Manitoba is fullyras
good; if not Letter than in Dakota, then why
do they so to Dakota ? The papers need not
say ' they are Grits" going there, because,
speaking for the most of those" who have 'left

IT Is Ford th-at Mr. Wood, ;'Ontario 'Trea-

House is dissolved. ' Should he do :so, there
is no. more, fit and proper person in the House
to fill the position'and discharge the duties

..TUE FAIRDIIt1t PAYS IT EVERY TIME.
The Nrw Eno Lae always maintained that
the duty,on •manufactured articles.' was `paid:
by the farmer in r "ever y: 'case. Thai
this' is correct is shown by the following ;ex
tract from a published interview -''with "Mr.`
Noxon;,of Ingersoll, manufacturer of reaping
marriages was 481, an increase of 3t1"over the.
preceding year. :The number of deaths:was
585, a decrease of 06 over the preceding year.
The only counties which show-a;larger birth
rate than Huron are Middlesex .Wentworth'
and 'York, while 11 counties out of•a -total'of'
, 39, show a larger death rate. A death rateof'
585 out of a population of about 60,000 is not
large, and the comparison.with other counties''
shows that the people in Huron' either live
more temperately or tare less subject to die
ease. than those of other counties.
Including births, marriages and deaths to.
gethor,. Goderich shows andecrease of: 70 over
the preceding year.: i, ."
Of the births in Huron :851"were males and
740 females, aud-`tbe largest number of -thel
former berm in any, one montlt wei'102,:.in
March, and of the latter 70, in August:
There were 10 illegi,timate:children registered
during the year, anti 5 still born'.

males.' Methodists coming eeeohcl, and Epis-
copalians third.,. December 'takes the lead
with tlie'largeettiiumber of marriages, 75'ba-

time, but gradually have shifted the whole' or
almost the whole burden upon the farmer's,
