How can this be douo ? is . s the question that so many are asking. g One answer is: Come to n MaINTY.i ,E'S STORE, n Clerk declared them duly elected • Reeve and Deputy,Reeve,respectively. t : On motion, Mr Jas Elliot was °ailed t to the °hair, and the speaking was , commenced. Mr Samuel Black was the first speaker,' and he dealt mainly f" with chanty . affairs, desoribing the salary grab of the members of that County Council as nothing short of robbery, He thought the apiaries of the Reeve,. Deputy -Reeve and Oouncilikrs were too high. Mr . Wm. McPherson explained county business at length .and stating that .the Turnberry representatives to the County Council were not guilty of voting for Ehe increased pay. The Township exPenses ,this year had been very 'heavy, +'adie's bridge and land costing over $1,000 alone. The Bryce law suit was not settled vet, the ease still beiug in the Cou'r'ts at To- ronto. Salaries in the township ars no higher thisyear than they have been other years, and he die think they were well' earned by those receiving them. During the year the W G & B Railway debentures, amounting to $11,000, had been paid, and in a few days the T,G & B Railway debentures would be due and have•to be• paid, aud' the money for same has almost been provided. The poor in:the township had also cost a good round sum, not'. withstanding that, two of those re- ceiving support had been put on •the funds of the county. After opposing the building of a county poorhouse for many years, be might say that he now thought it would be in the interests of ,the township to.support the building of such au tastitetton`for the county. 13.e thanked the'eleetors for returning him by acclamation, and said that he would took after their interests during the incoming year as he had done in the past. Me Wm Ctuickshank was pleased o meet the electors and very thank far their renewed confidence. He did not think in necessary to go into details of the .business of the past year the Reeve having done so, but would say that• the work in that township had been superintended as cheaply this year as any :other' years as far' .;as , he was concerned. Short speeches were also made by Messrs Geo Harris, Win Mundell and John Diment, candidates for Councillors 'V1r' Rebt Maxwell was confined to his 'home by illness, and' hence: was un- able to give hie views on township matters. Mr'Peter Campbell was not present at the nomination, and we learn he has declined to run for. the position for ti,hich he was nominated. Some of the movers and seconders of the candidates :addressed the meeting,. which was a very orderly one. Just before the meeting dispersed, Mr Robt Douglass, in a few appropriate words, introdueed the following resolution. Mr Samuel Black, who seconded the resolution, spoke strongly in favor of is, and it was, carried- almost unan- imously :' -1st. In the opinion of the electors of the Township of Turnberry, . in public. meeting assembled, that from what has transpired during and since the last session of the Dominion Parlia- ment, coupled with the publication of• the census returns, that the state of our country urgently demands that the greatest economy and sound principles should prevail ; that an early opportunity should be oflorded the electors of saying 'wether they approve or not of the policy and prac- tice of the present:Gpvernment, That with the view of greater economy and efficiency, that we petition the Ontario Parliament to reduce ' the number of County Councillors to about one-third of the present number, and take' the g necessary steps to' have the Act of i Confederation amended so as to reduce o the representation to T;14rliament to u about an equal extent, a is to abolish b the.

Timms, -.The gentle Cooper sings somewhere : • "1 would not number on my hat of friends Him who would wanton • trample an a worm." But his rebuke would have been more scathing had he seeu a poor oat in the same sorry plight as I did the firet•thing on Sun- day horning. Some youngster, with more time than bratha at his disposal, had tied a paper box to the tail of the - poor'thing, that showed more sense than its silly tormentor,. ter it did pot run about as he would have done had some other fellow played off some scurvy trick akin to his own. I was on my way to feed a favorite cat of mine, a denizen for the time being of the town hall basement: and on my re, turn she followed me upstairs, where I soon put her all right. In a twinkling I ' gave her a hearty meal, washed down with a draught of water fresh from .the pump. Her gratitude, poor thing, seemed bound- less, not knowing that I was indebted to others, who 'wished to make nae colnfortabe duriug Ohristmas week. Charles Hender- son, Bluevale road, was a scholar of mine . to the forties, and though only seven years • of ape at the time, he may remember we got up a society, the members pledging themselves not to rob birds nests. After the lapse of more than, thirty years,he was the first member ot the Presbyterian church in �Wngbam, to come up and shake hands with tris old teacher. I have much pleasure to re,dedicatiug a New Year's hymn I got printed in Edinburg, for the ninety and nine scholars under my oharge in the dear old•burgh of Biggarr Now yent's urns FOE 1841. God makes the virgin snow drop grow, When Nature wears a robe of snow ; Regardless of the pelting storm, It rears its slender, graceful form. . When it decays, the 'crocus bloive,, And with it buds the•Cbristmas tore, The daisy and the cowslip rise, Then southernwood perfumes the sky. These all decay --then heather bells, ' With blooming heather clothe the delis. To autumn dahlias homage pay. Then sunflowers face the Lord of day. Learn from the •blooming, dying flowers, eft emblems of the passim; hours, That winged time fleets fast away, Then spend aright this Now Year's day. As floweis grow lovelier with the year, So do you. grow 10 prate while here, That when f+ou lay this body down, You may'ih heaven wear a crown. P S. --Noted prisoners have made pets of spiders, mice and such cattle, but after more than a year in the Beaver, 1 have had an unwelcome visitant in the shape of a mouse, that I uevor had the patience to domesticate. Cat No L, caught it this morning, played with it for an hour or so, nd then made mines meat of the same.
