FRIDAY. DECEMBER 30. 1811.
THE 1ST DEPUTY RESVESHIP.
'Perhaps the meet iaspestaat contest
.for municipal oaks now before the 31ec-
tors of Ooderiob, is thet between Messrs.
'Williams and Campbell for the tat Dep-
uty Reeveship. At the nomination
meeting on Monday Last, the electors
who were present had a fair opportunity
afforded them of gauging tke merits of
the candidate', and a perusal of the re-
port of the proceedings m another col-
umn of this issue, will give an idea of
the calibre of the two men to thou whp
had not the privilege of being present
at the meeting.
Mr. Campbell, who spoke tint on that
oocaaion, and who beyond question, ex-
ceeded all hu preview platform utter-
anoes, so far as fluency was concerned,
gave a record of his stewardship during
the past year. In bis remarks he did
` not fail to do justice to himself as a pub-
lic servant, but be overdid his work
slightly when he claimed almost all the
credit for many of the benefits which
had socrned to the ratepayers. In re-
ference to the reduction in the rate of
taxation, the efforts to obtain a County
House of Refuge, the getting the vote
through on the irou bridge, obtaining
better securities from the town officials,
and creating a town surplus in 1877
(which he said had dwindled away dur-
ing his absence from the Council Board),
the impression created was that there
was no need for any other person to be
elected to the Town or County Council
but the speaker. Even Mr. Johnston's
able assistance during the past year was
ignored, but perhaps that was dune be-
cause our worthy Reeve had sounded
"his own prairies" loudly and stoutly
almost immediately before. "I did it,
gentlemen, and don't forget it," seemed
to stand out boldly in his utterances
upon public matters, and it seemed al-
most a pleasure to Learn that one vice
in a gathering of sixteen in our Town nafaction of all concerned. The follow
Council, and one vuice in a meeting of ing nominations were made:

waterworks and gasworks were loukeiw
upon es self atainiag institutions, the
revenue which they, drew in was ouly
another method of taxing the people.
In a 'crowing tore meth these latter
would be importaut factors, but as Gods -
rich had er tuaately, not pre as
mush as�ts inbahitants would luere liked
during the past sew years, these systems
were perhaps a little in advance of its
absolute requirements, and it would be
ealy prudent for the people to bide
their time. The working of the Council
during the peat year had been of a most
harmonious nature. He thanked
the Council of 1881 tor the aseut-
anc, they had given him in carry-
ing onthe public business, for in all
his long municipal experience he had
never witnessed so much unanimity of
feeling in the interest of the towii, as
had been evinced during the pad year.
True, Goderich had nut made great ad-
vancement, nevertheless she had been
'jugular!, free from calamities of a seri-
uua nature, and her people had many
blessings to thank Providence for. He
ouncluded by wishing the ratepayers a
awry Christman and a happy and pros -
pewees New Year. (Loud and prolong-
ed applause.)

THE Christmas week cif 1881 will long
be remembered for its mildness. The
thinest scum of ice had not been formed
on the harbor, and en December 27th
the steamer "Despatch." from Georgian
Bay, entered port by moonlight in
weather as triadas that 0 the latter part
of an ordinary September. The singing
of birds, the highway cow nibhling the
green grass growing on the aide streets,
and the cheerful clacking 0 the hens
laying their Easter (7) eggs, assert the
mildness of the lesson. The weather
prophets have all come to grief.
