THE coVirTX rltnawaitnits III.'.
The so-called warden's committee suet
at Goderich last week to see what could
could be done about the 'Treasurership;.
The sureties of Dr 7Iolmes, although
only personal, were accepted by them as.
satisfactory, but thea a hitch occurred.
The committee,- we are informed, had..
taken advice about the legality 'ot their
dismissal of Col. Ross,, and were told that
all they had dorso in connection there-
with was irregular and would not stand
•i.n a court of . law. ' As Mr. Ross would
notgive up his books, there -was no alter-
native left, but to allow him to. fill out
his fiscal year.. s
The question has often boa asked us
"what will the -new County Ceuncil do in
'the matter." Well 'they are left in a: bad
box, and there will be difficulties tQ' en.,
,; ,.tt 'counter no matter what course they,pus--
sue. Et/ consequence of the shape the
affair bas taken, it +spulcl, perhaps, be
wise if no notice whatever was taken of
any of the origit,al applioants for,. the po-
itio.reitt5tpd some one a'j,tl9inted who would
• nut feel his lu,.itien eenlprotjtised by for -
Hier Connection 1tttlis ti • ci anmstances.
We are inclined to think thctt.this will be
.woe—no matter what the. political coli-
plexieu of!the'council May be.'"
En all. rrobability, Mi • elibson, of
\G'roxeter,will bo elected warden, as: he
was entitled to the position ;'ears ago, and
hail It not been for a breach of faith on
the part of others, would have had it longi duction will bo soveroly'i'elt;. and by those

that is that the proceedings ot the -coin'- ng. -

failed to accommodate all those who were
attracted thither by a very choice pro-

is impossible to do more than mention
some .of the leading features of the even-

and a recitation by Miss Grace i obertson,
entitled "The drunkard's wife," which
was exceedingly well rendered, .and elicit -
a hearty encore, to which Miss Robertson
responded. This young lady possesses
no small share of histrionic talent, whieb,
with a charming manner, she uses with
good effect. The musical part of the pro-
