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-. 0 o n • e d' improves cuaeion,;in this age f hag an p ment for the convenience ,and benefit of' the - 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 _� Y ,� business to transact with' any of •thee:county' officials, come from sections. considerably re- moved from the iriamediate vicinity of Grille - rich, and consequently the Musts" pass , , q Y Y through 'Clinton to transact° the•, same , In to transact -their business'the y : are fie order t s y _ quently compelled. .to remain .in Goderich 1 i 1 oar° �, later than the connecting w y,,, them home, -very often much to- their rneon- ven' nc . ''Now, were the county ;officiajs; ie a uld be no diffi-. resident' at Clinton there wo cult whatever in coming. here • transaotin y o , g, their business, • and returning home the same ' livening.' County councillors, jurors and many othera", summoned for purpose on behalf .of the',1 county, are 'paid mileage for every No* ' a saving' of 12' miles .on the mileage as-„ 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- sult.by lessening the number of miles:travel=' 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 located hero, "and a man from a distance had, • business to, transact,, either Iron] ,the north; ,south,'east or west, .he could reach Clinton 10 a.m., at the latest, from any nf; these points; after transacting his busme`ss �re cou'td-- go home as early or: as late as he liked,• that. day. Whereau, if he goes to"Goderich to 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. eienti•y'.firm and self-sacrificing, aiewe fully believe tliere are some who knew better, who, will raise their : voice against this : mad course; ,, v' i n'` : and World. s that the ci it �t wo ld ee and let' the'K enlightening influence of the Christian reli- gion ely gion and education in this'Canada of ours is not -wholly in vain. To judge ,.from -the reports from that new country,:it ,would almost .- appear .' as if it was becoming a perfectpandemomium of vice; what with its land gambling; drinking, licen- tiousness and swindling, the chances are that 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 P g this neighborhood, we are in a position; to as - •t •emphaticail"37, that they . are not. IT Is Ford th-at Mr. Wood, ;'Ontario 'Trea- surer, will retire iron his position before the' 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 thereof than A. M. toss, Esq., M.P. P. for West• Huron. We believe that even our Con- servative confreres s i us ve c r ill n to n inthe as- sertion, sertion, and the Ontario Govternmeut: would be adding to its, strength by taking this gen- -, leinan into the Ministry.

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.
