Your Committee after a very careful and laborious examination of the As- essment Rolls of the several municipal- ities in the county, as to value, facilities, &c., we hive arrived at the result shown in the foregoing schedules. There are a large number of the Assessment Rolls as will be seen by the columns iu the schedule showing the rate per emit of increase or decrease, which areassessed far below their value, and which in the opinion of your committee, should be remedied in future by the Assessors of the different municipalities. In the township_ of , Stephen we bad to deduct empted from taxation by by-law of this Council, and in adjusting that between the several municipalities we raised their cleared acreage from 30 to 89 per 100 and set down the total acreage of the township at 19001essthan last'year, and the personal property of the town- ships we followed the sam9 ratio of 80, 90 and a 100 per cleared: acre in the townships classed Nos. let end 8. For- merly the villaoe property in townships not incorporated was pu t in a lump sum to the judgement of the:committee. We eonsider that such was not very satis- factory and insisted a thorough investi- gation of the rolls, and all lands of 5 acres or under we put down as village property including saw and grist mills, (te., and then addedthein up adding the same ratio of increase tothem as to the balance of township, and we have now the relative values in the townships as to this class of property. All of which is respectfully submit- ted R. CALLENDER. Qhairmau. Moved by Mr. Patton, tfeconded by Mr. Armstrong, that the report be laid on the table for an hour to enable mem- bers to exemine it.

It was rumored in Quebec yesterday that Mr. Mackenzie was to be appoint- ed Chairman of the Pacific Railway Commission, Mr. Blake letiuister of Justice, and a Quebecer to the Portfolio of Public Works. THE more abuse belched forth against Dr. Sangster, the better that gentleman seems to prosper. At a meeting of the County Council of Hastings, at Belle- ville, yesterday, a motion was unani- mously carried thanking tho Doctor for the valuable services tendered by him in the cause of education, and express• ing its warm approval of the mires taken by the School Inspectors of Has- tings in securing the servioes of so tal- ented and well qnalified a gentleman to hold teachers' institutes. The Doctor's election to the office he covets is beyond peradventure, and the Globe has enly to continue slandering him for a short time longer to have every teacher in the land in arms against itself. Theie is a lesson in this which even the pro- prietors of a mud-volcauo should be able to understand. Fire Protection. The subject .of fires and protection therefrom appears to be an all -absorb- ing them now -a -days. And, no wonder for a daily paper cannot be picked up without witnessing an account of some village totally destroyed by the element, or sorae town razed to the ground through either the inefficiency of the fire force or the lack of any at all. Only a few ,days ago, Aylmer presented a beautiful appearance with its beautiful buildings; What is it like to -day ?,,The larger portion of the village is repre- sented in a heap of ashes. Had Ayl- mer have had sufficientew any fire pro- tection at all, the fiesy fiend woald not have been able to extend his fangs as he did. Many other villagesand towns in Canada are now lolling themselves on the bosom of a seemingly quiet,hap- py and lengthy existence.

We, in this village, are blessed with a number of brick buildings, which are in a degree fire proof and as to appearances imagina- tive people would think they would never burn. But let the match ef in- cendiarism or of carelessness but ouce touch the pile and then see how. vain were these calculations. Of course we have a lire engine, but of what earthly use is it, unless:its manipulation is, convenient to us. It is as useless as a toy. Wo have also a fire compauy, But of what use are they,:if the engine is allowed to be locked up month after month, and no notice taken of it ? We would advise the officers of the village to see to it at once that the engine is in working order, and the company com- mence practice. "Ari ounce of preven- tion is worth a pound of cure."

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS,—A circular has been received from the Educational De- partment stating that the Council of Pablie InStruCtion have cluocted that the spring term shall this year close on Friday, 26th Joue, in order to facilitate the holding of entrauee examinations to the High Sehools and Collegiate Insti. tetee On the 29th and 110th month, Tux TnaP.—There has been eonside, rable activity in the home line of late, and severed attempts at racing have been made by some of the sporting ones. On Wednesday evening, the 10th inst., it was said that there was to be a race between two horses, but those who went with the expectation of witnessing it keen cUntelit, foond them- selves the vietims of an egreeioes sell. Last Tuesday evening a nsille race for $25 a side took place between J. Cave's sorrel horse of Usborne,anda horse he, loncina to Mr. Murdoch, of Biddulph, wngii the sorrei yenta in az me wioisiee post secemd, winning the money easily. Mr. Morcloch's horse wae inclined to run, THE editor of the Halifax Peporter is tickling himself to death because a lady sent him it lily. He says it is "an em- blem of the parity of his mind." The rascal! The lady took this delicate weans to show her knowledge of his ability to li-ly. He never thought of that. Olen local joker, on being informed that it was generally believed Brown woulcl take Mackenzie's place in the Government, and that then a collapse of the institution would take place, re- marked "1 don't know; he's got such big feet; he'd put his potato -bug de- stroyer right down on. it." Order shave been issued from the Mili- tia Department for the drill of the Ac. jive Militia for 1874-75. It has been decided to reduce the the force to 30, 000 officers and men, and we fully con- cur in the reduction, as it is much bet- ter to have that number • thoroughly drilled and equipqed than, double the number insufficiently organised. There is one thing, however, whcili should be increased, and that is the pay of the men while on service, for at present it is small. It is very well to rely on the patriotism of the people in keeqing the ranks full, but what we would like to see is an binges° in the pay and compnlsory drill, something similar to the Prussian system, so that in case of need all able-bodied mail would uhderstand to a certain extent military manwuvres. With such an extent of frontier as out Dominion now has, thirty -thousand meu would not afford much protection, withoet reserveforces. But, although we do not anticipate any trouble with our neighbors, still the lcnowleclge of military matters would not be lost on any one. Brigade camps of instruction will be forrn ed this season. The ration allow. once and pay is the same, we believe as heretofore, with the addition that six dollars will be allowed to each com- pany for transportation of cooking uten. oils. The strength of each company is not to exceed forty non-commissioned officers and men, with two additional for staff sergeants and band. No pay can be drawil for days oil which leave of absence rimy be granted, tho motto being "No drill, no pay." A.

Previous to 1818 horse racing was prohibited by 18,w. In that year 0, P, °olden, a representa- tive for New -York city, and the Secre- tary of the House, made it their busi. ness to examine all the horses drawing loads of grain into Albany market. They reported having examined from 200 to 1,200 horses a day during the session, and that the levee:age weight of the New York horses 4ia not exceed 500 pounds. A bill was then drawn up to legalize horse racing, -which passed without cliffieulty, for the members WV that something must be done to induce people to try and improve the breed of horses. In twenty years from the pas- sage of that bill the average weight of horses in New York State wee nearly 1,600 pounds. presented With inedals,speeially etruck at the Pepefs commandhi commoner- atioh of their pilgrimage.
