To the Editor if the Exeter Times.
Among the annals of Ancient Classical
History are to be found many instructive
as well as interesting legends, myths and
historical ,facts ; none moreso, IVO think,
than that relating to an ancient Roman
village. Whether it be fact or fable we
cannot: indisputably affirm. Howbeit, this
village, the name of which; was E teren-
tfum, was in many respects goodly to look
upon and much to be desired as a place of
residence. Its Government consisted of
a Senate, elected by the people, at the
head of which was a Consul, who was as -
elated by another of Consular dignity, bat
of inferior powers ; to these were added
three Tribunes of thepeople, whose special
duty it was to look after the plebian inter-
est. The Consuls had the privilege of at-
tending the "Magnus Senates" or great
Council of the land; from this the Tribunes
were excluded,
It has been ascertained from the pages
Of history that this village bad been prim-
itively settled by the aborigines, or at
least, their immediate descendants, of
Britannia, interspersed with a few Cala-
doniaus, and the wisdom and steadfastness
of these was rather nicely seasoned with a
little Hibernian reit. Now from such a
population as this, containing so many var-
ious, and excellent qualities, one would
naturally expect a multitude of sage and
eloquent statesmen. In this we ate not
disappointed, for on Senatorial nomination
days, when the Consuls -elect took their
etand on the diminutive Rostra, at one end
of the Senate house, which stood in the
midst of the Forum, there was heard such
eloquent and logical orations, that, had
Burke Gladstone, Webster, or any of our
later orators, had the pleasure of listening
'to seine of these ancient rhetoricians, the
would have considered his own feeble at-
tempts, compared with their masterly dis-
cotirses, as but the babbling of the peace-
ful brook contrasted with a mighty river.
Nor do the blustering Tribunes deserve
less consideration, of whom, some were
equally loquacious on these momentous
occasions.
Ou these great annual assembly days, or
rather nights, the magnanimous statesmen
were wont to cater to the plobean tastes
iu many and various ways. :they would
advocate higher seats of learning, the
bringing down of the lightning to illumin-
ate the streets, which by the way, had
been so dark that even the position of the
moon in the sky could scarcely have been
discernible, had it not been for the light
shed by a few kerosene lamps scattered
throughout the -town, the offering of in-
ducements to other routes of co,nmeroe,the
establishing of waterworks, and many
other 911011 boons. Upon hearing such
thrilling orations the hearts of the people
were wont the greatly rejoice, and be glad,
and they would become generally jubilant,
while thinking of 'how their hitherto be-
nighted town world soon develop into ono
of the first intellectual and commercial
centres of the laud. But it is e. sad sight
to behold how vain were their rejoicings,
and illfounded their hopes, for scarcely
had the senate beet, duly appointed than
were heard the distant rumbling of a corn-
ing storm.
The stern and irate voice of the Consul
was heard as in an echo and was answered
by the herculean Tribune in tones unmis-
takable, yet as erratic. Then came the
fury of the tempest. The cautious Consul
though a prudent man in many ways was
not altogether blameless. He displayed
undue tenacity in upholding his end of the
market question, which was then occupy-
ing their antique attention. But the ver-
bose Tribunes who happened to be at the
other end of the question in dispute were
not to be put upon by their superiors in
office, but fought with the fury of the fam-
ous Spartans of old. Thus waged the war
until even the modest middlemen were
forced into the fray.
In this manner that legislative body,
from which the people had expected so
much, wasted its time, and its talents, in
injudicious jangling over unimportant mat-
ters, throwing away valuable assets follow-
ed by th6"t useless expenditure of money
incident thereto, while such measures as
would have materially benefited their fel-
low citizens, physically, commercially and
intellectually, wore not considered for a
moment; consequently the rising gener-
tions continued to grow up, as their fath-
ers bad done before them, in almost total
darkness, both of body and mind.
Why this thusness?
A Maud has sunt us a printed copy of
the auditors' report for the municipality of
Turtle Mountain, Manitoba, for the year
ending February 29th,1802 A few figures
from this report may be of interest to our
readers here as showing slow municipal
matters are conducted in that new district.
The total receipts for the year amounted
to $23,119. These were made up in part
of the following items : Taxes collected,
$18,036; statute labor commutation, $000 ;
Hotel licenses, $300; Provincial grants,
$1,211; money collected on Reed grain
notes and interest, $1,534. The disburse-
meuts for the year amounted to $22,782,
and ,.ere made up in part of the following
items; Iudemnity to councillors, 5350 ;
printing and stationary, 5483; salaries,
5872; roads and ,bridges, 52.866; schools,
58,621 ; destruction of gophers, 5300
municipal oommissiouor,$3,0?3, The year
was closcd with a balance in the treasury
of 51,243. The municipality seetns,to have
plenty of money, and the authorities are
not niggardly in Its expenditure, The as-
sets of the municipality amounted to 523,-
022, and the liabilities to $9,505, leaving a
surplus of assets over liabilities amounting
to $1.3,517. Among the assets we notice
the following items : Arrears of taxes,
513,230, and seed grain notes and interest
56,542 Judging from this statement we
should say that if all the municipalities in
the infant Province are in as good a finan-
cial position as this ono, they will compare
favorably with the best managed munici-
pality in Ontario.

To the liditor of the Exeter Times.
Den Sru,—After hearing the remarks
made at a council meeting some few days
ago by ono of the councilmen I must say,
I was surprised and very agreeably seralds•
ed, too, to see that member in his sent at
the ',Board meeting last week, because by
so doing ho has made a public acknowledge-
ment that he was in the wrong and that we
have a thorough gentleman in the chair.
I would also like the Deputy Reeve to
explain his position in the matter of moving
the market, for he distinctly stated some
few weeks ago that the buildings, fences,
etc., should be moved immediately so we
should have no further trouble. While a t
the last conned meeting he made the remark
that the market scales should not have
been moved as they wore in their proper
plane. Thanking yon for this space.
