That of Ushorne was over 800, and that of Hay was as giveu by the Census secretary.

(fr. Bishop) and Councillors expressed their opinion that Exeter should bo allowed 280 as its portion of the population of 1871, tnie being three more than allowed by Government and a nuinbee less than asked by our Reeve. It is our opinion that the Uehorne Council took a rea- sonable view of the matter and dealt quite odely with Exeter, as no more thee the tacrierement allowance could have been gained had thc. matter went to arbitration.

Now that this ubiquitous personage lias brought himself and his record so promineotly before the Canadian pub- lic in his rash attempt to take his seat as member for Provencher, it might not be finales to draw attention to the time when the general election for the Ontario Legislature was taking place, and else to the professionof the loyal Grits in contradistinction to their ac- tions at the present time. From (Vas - solation up to the day of election the electors were inflamed with the story of the Scott murder ; every hustings from Sarnia to Cornwall was made to ring with fiery cleclionationS agaiest the Sandfield Macdonald GoOmenient ; the most passionate appeals were made to Orangeateuls prejudices; the people were treated to pauoreanic descriptions of the- Scene of the murder, and so on ad nauseant. Even in the Legislative Halls the voice of Blake was raised iu eloquence, calling for vengeance upon the murderers of poor Thomas Scott"' and fiercely denouncing both theaDo- minion and Ontario Governments for not taking prom& steps to wipe out the disgrace. Through the Scott. murder cry and by other shallow tricks they succeeded in grasping power in Ontar- io, and. announced that their poligr on the Riel affair would not be character- ized by the shilly-shallying which they maintained had distinguished the Sand - field Macdonald Administration; and actenelingly their advent to office was signalized .by a reward of $5,000 being offered to any person who would catch Riel and bring him before a com- petent court of jurisdiction. This re- ward Was nothing but a sham, and was offered merely to give cohniag and an air of seriousness to their prasiug airde in (Opposition. They knew full well that there was no emit of competent joriscliction before which they could bring Riel. A few months ago ft ccn- stable telegraphed from CollingWood to AtiorneysGenesal Mowat that he could arrest Riel at a certain time', and,want- ad to kfio if the$5,000 offered by Mr. Blakewould still be given. Long after the departure of the. boat on which it was supposed Rid was a passenger, Mr. Mowat telegraphed in answer that he vas not ecrtaia, but supposed that the reward still held good. Theythewpme-eopbliest, epltlying xciting the .y 01 0tanwa with- in the last two weeks, have proved be- yond the shadow of doubt that the Grit party were insincere in their loud ex- pressions of sympathy, and 110 One who is not it thick and thin supporter,.. through mud and mire, will date to ca- vil at or object to this. When one con- siders the wailing and lementation that was made by these political hypochon- driacs, the conclusion that, they were hypochrites is irresistible. According to the Globe, Biel coulii have been ar- testedat any time, but that until a change of Government was had he would be allowed to reuse ate fit large. New we have the "Reform" Govern- ment in power, And. M.

There is every probability that Riel wi!1 take his seat, and what a nice picture will then be presented !—the ineu who howlectso loudly for vengeance on the assassins of "poor Thomas Scott" protecting and hob-nobbing to a nuirderer.

It will be remembered by many that on the fourth day of March last John Dar- cy Gallagher, a very respectable young man about nineteen years,of age, who resided in the township of Morris. slut denly dissappeared. His friends sup- posed he had broken through the ice :of the river Maitland and was drowned; consequently, the river was searched, and by the friends and neighbors of de, ceased from the day he dissappeared till the 3rd inst. On that day, two little boys coustaucted a temporary raft, and were sailino6about the river for amuse- ment. They had only sailed about for it short time when they discovered the deceased at the bottom of the river half a mile from where he was supposed to have fallen in. The Coroner, C. Tait Scott, of Wing -ham was notified and held. an inqueat on Saturday lest' the 4th inst., precisely one month from the day young Gallagher disappeared. The body was in a good state of preser- vation. The verdict of the, jury was that deceased came to his death bybeing, accidentally drowned. PROMOTELe—We are glad to learn that Mr. George Bigger, of Walton, who has long acted in the capacity of agent for the Canada Company in this section, has had his field of operations very much extended. Heretofore Mr. Big- ger has had charge of the lands of the Company only in the townships of Mc- Killop, Logan, Ihillett and Tucker - smith. He has now been placed in eharge of the Company's lands iti the whole of Huron, and in the townships of Logan, and Hibbert in Perth MeGilli- 0 7 vray and Williams, in Middlesex, and Bosanqet in Lambtcin. On aceonnt of this change Mr. Bigger will be obliged to give up his whole time to the service of the Company. He intends remov- ing to Seaforth in a few weeks, where he will be more centrally and conveni- ently located. This promotion is a fitting recognition on the part of the company of the faithful services of an efficient and trustworthy official, and must be most gratifying to Mr. Bigger and to his manyfriends throughout the County ..Expositor 1271E01.S.,.
