REPORT OF TEE EQUALIZATION COMMITTEE.
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

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-

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. But, like
Aylmer, you may retire under a roof,

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

THE editor of the Halifax Peporter is
tickling himself to death because a lady

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.

as heretofore, with the addition that

• HORSE Ramose—At this season, when
horse racing is so much indulged in by
some and denouneed by others, the fol-
lowing fads published in a blue book
by the New York Lee°isla,tiere in 1854
will be of interest. 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.
