THE SCARCITY' OF BRIcK.--Great em- barrassuient is felt bk. those engaged in building from the seercity of 'brick. It is altnoat impossible at present to obtain enough brick in this neighborhood: even. to build. a chimney with. Last season there were. three or four yards working within a few miles of 'Seaforth, bet this year, we believe, there is not one in op- eration. This is soinewhat singular, as there is. abundance of excellent c suit- able for brick making, and the demand has been nearly alwayd greater than the supply. From other parts of the County we hear the same complaiat. No bricks are to be had in any of our towns and. villages,_ and as a consequence, partits building are compelled to use wood, when their preferences, taste And regard for- ultimate economy -would lead them to select a more durable substance, were it to be had. An enterprising man might profitably employ a little capital in the establishment of one or more brick yards in almost any part of the County. „ Pao B022.0 PUBLIC°. —J . teRANT'S Post Office Drug and Book Store, Brussels, is the place to get your Mddicines and Dye Stuffs, Paints, Oils, eta.

The London Huron. and Bruce Rail- way organ in this County, the Clinton New IA, has as usual a senseless article on the bonus about to be submitted in this township. Ile says "the ratepay- ers will surely pass the small sum of ten thonsancl. dollars without opposition." Now, in his 'eyes ten thousand dollars. . may be a small sum. But this amount properly Iaid out would go a long ways in eravelfric all our concessions. This I thiUk would be. an immense benefit— more than an out-of-the-way maned: could possibly be. Ten thousand dollars is also a nice snug sum to line the pockets of speculating railload men. IIis remarks `about our money being properly secured is 'bosh—rot. He k.nows, or at least ought to know, that any terms put into a by-law, contrary to the act of Parliament, are null, There- fore, the section which states that the debentures are not to be handed over un- til the road. is built is of no account. The debeetures will be sold and handed over to the tender mercies of William Sloan, M. D., lityth—ta very amiable gentleman, no doubt, burbefore we vote our money, perhaps, it would. be as well to make enquiries as to who he is aetd whet are his antecedents. Mr. Editor, this ten thousand dollars is only the thin end of the wedge. These - nice gentlemen from London and Blyth me spend it, coback again for more, spend that, come back again for more; and when our eyes are thoroughly opened, we will find for the $50,000 or $60,000 we have spent nothing but a railroad hkele- ton, a few millionaires living in costly well -furnished day residences at our ex- pense. Let us stamp the thing out at once. Yours, STANLEY. STANLEY, Mate31, 1873.

" Spring crops also look well, " barrin' they are badly in want of ram," as Pat would say.

The crop of potato -bugs will be about the •average it is thought, as the plaguy creaeurts have been noticed eoesting around on board fences, demurelyhwatch- ing farnfers planting their potatoes.

In Mekillop we hear of fields so badly ravaged by this destructive worm that they will have to be plowed up. In Tuckersmith, Stanley and other to' nahips of the County the pest is also at work, but not, we believe, with such disastrous re. sults, so far, as in McKillop.

Southern Division, from Palmerston to 66,t miles.— This portion of our railway sys JUNE -0 187= ASSE ssing in Morris. To the Editor of the Iluron Expositor. SIR,—It seems that the old adage of "God sends meat, but cooks come from a different direction," is frequently ex- emplified in the working dour municipal institutions. Atter due thought, poor hobett Baldwin framed the Municipal Act. and great benefits were expected to flow from it. and, no doubt, would, if it were worked in the spirit in which it was conceived. But the working of the Municipal Act in some of out Townships is like giving good. material to a botch by whom the whole thing is hopelessly spoiled. Forsom e years the rn ode in which the Township of Morris has been assess- ed has been generally considered, in the highest degree unsatisfactory. In most places in @made property of every kind is supposed to be advancing in. price, but according to our astute Assessor a differ- ent result is observable in Morris. Farms are lower, mills are lower, and as to cat- tle of every 'kind, we never had less. Happily for us, the reverse of all this is actually the case. Oar farms and our buildings are getting more valuable every day. If a stranger were to form an opinion of Morris from our assessment roll he 'would naturally suppose we were on the high road to bankruptcy and ruin. A grist and saw pill, iu Moeris, which were assessed \about seven years ago for $3,160 is this yeer .only assessed for $2,000. Farm property, especially of certain individuals, is assessed in the same way. The assessment law wisely pro -vides that the roll shall contain cer- tain columns for recording statis- tical facts of • value and necessity, but the Morris _Assessor is above the . weakness of observing the law. These columns, in this year's roll, are mostly all blank. T.he Township Council, how- ever, accepted the roll in this imperfect state, but it 18 doubtful if the County Council will accept ; but if the Assessor is negleatful in this respect, he is the re- verse in regard to giving a multiplicity of votes to those whozn he considers in his favor. ln many cases, the father is thus assessed as owner, and a couple ef his sons, mere young boys, are often as- sessed as tenants; but when the families are considered by this model Assessor not to be of the right "stripe" they never can get more than one assessed for ang lot. This kind of dodge is intended to tell at election Ones. This year several parties had appealed against the assessment roll on the ground that the assessment was not equitable. The Council could not deny -the juttice of the appeals, but they felt that if they entertained them the whole roll would fall to the ground, hence it was consider - ed best to gloss the thing over for the present. Some of the Councilmen and Assessor, therefore, after trying to bully and abuse the man who was chief in ap- ealing, had to go to him afterwards and umbly beg that he would not take the case before the -County Judge, as they said it would be certain that the whole thing would be upset. Can you Conceive a more humiliating position for a town- ship to occupy?. Telt DEASLEY. MORRIs, June 2, 1873. ' Stanley Bonus Again. . Po the Editor of the Huron Expostror. DEAR SIR .• The Clinton New Era dis; plays a degree of ignorance almost an - pardonable about Bayfield. Hear him in a late -issue, "It is a well known fact ttha,„Er t bonuses to the London, Huron and Bruc Itailwey would long ago have been . granted by ittith Tuckersmith and Stan- ley, but for the refusual of the..majority of each Council acting under the influ- ence of Seaforth and. Bayfield. this fact affords ample justification, if any were needed„by the Provincial Parliament." Now, Sir, I wish to tell the Clinton malt of the New Era„that every man, woman and child in Bayfield who has, or pre- tends. to have, any influence with the Stanley Council voted and supported the bY-lave formerly submitted for this said. railway bonus, and what become of it is well known, even to the Clinton Hew Bra mant and no Parliament. were justified in ' myopinion, me. no township. Council, in my opinion, had or ita$ any excuse for again trying to force a bonus out of Stan- ley. I am iefornied, and believe it to be true, that the Couucil of Stanley sub-, mitted a by-law at'its last meeting, - for a .grant of - $10,000 to the same London, Herm) -and Bruce Railway. Company, The majority of Stanley are decidedly against any bonus,. as the reil- way is at present located. When the Company gets a promise of $10,000, the edge of the wedge is in, and. -then the people must either pay the piper till the ball is over or dance without music. A ny grant, however small, will be taken, but - don't be deceived, they may.come back for more, or never fiuish theroad. This, has been done in other cases, and we have np good guarantee that it may not be re- peated in this case. Ratepayers of Stau- Jey, if you study the interests, of youre solves you will vote against this bonus, once and for ever. A VOTER, - STANLEY, June 2, 1873. . Hay.

Speeehes, readiugs, &c:, formed a part of the progela,nime of the evening, and tended to entertain the audiences Rev Mr. Lund occupied the chair. A collection was taken up in be- half of Vie. church debt liquidation fund, from which a handsome sum was realiz- ed, and after Votes of thanks to the choir and the entertainers, the company dispersed.

Croery, that the following assessraents be reduced, viz., John Pincombe, real estate, $50; George Heywood. real estate $100; John Delbridge, rea.1 estate, $50, and that the Assessment Roll as amended be passed, and the Court of Revision elosed---- Oat ried. After the Court. of Revision was 'closed the Couueil met. Minutes of last meeting read and con. - tem commences at Pal- merston, a station on the main line, 4211 miles north of Guelph, and also passes through a fine agricultural and timber country and several, large and flourish- ing -villages, to Kincardine, an important amIthriving town, having a gotal harbor on Lake Huron. The line is divided into three sections, as follows : NO. 1. PalmerSton to Listowel........ 9 miles, No. 2. Lietowel to Wieghtun ham to Kincardine 28 " No. 8. W Total length.. The first t.. . 684 " ction to Listowel was let to Messrs. 1ay & Co., and Was complet- ed, with the exception of ballasting, last December, and formally opened on the 19th of that month. The second and third sections have been given to Mr. Hendrie, Who is pushing the construc- tion. throughout with great vigor. The grading of the second section to Wing - ham is about completed, and also the two large bridges over the Maitland River at Ethel and Bluevale, au engine having passechover the former one thia day, so that the road -bed of this section is now ready for the traek„which is be- ing rapidly laid, and has now reached a point twenty-five miles from Palmer- ston. - The ballasting is also being push: al on vigorously, two engines being en- gaged. in that service. The works on the third eection th Kincardine are be- ing carriect on in -a most satisfactory manner. Seven and. a half miles of the road -bell is completed, embracmg, the heaviest portion of the earth workj one half of which is now finished.. The arge bridge at Win,gham will be ready for the rails within a moneh, and other struc- tures etre in an acrvanced condition, so that there will be no obstructions to the track -laying being carried on continuous- ly. It is proposed to deliver some iron at Kincardine by vessels, so as to lay track from that end also. Mr. Rendrie has a force of over- 800 men employed on these two sections, a•nd he whole are in a perfect state of organization, thus ensurieg the full completion of the Division early in October of the present year, four months in advance of the time mentioned in the by-laws. This line, when completed, will also receive a large and profitable _traffic. Several million feet of lumber are already delivered at Listowel, Newry, Henfryn and Ethel, awaiting the opening of the railway, and many additional sawmills have re- cently been erected in consequence of the construction of the road. —Before the meeting closed, the share- holders, by unanimous vote, granted the President, Mr. McGiverin, the sum of $4,000, as a reward for his laboriin be- half of the hiterests of the Company. MCKi1101). ACCIDENT. —On Thursday of last week a young man named. Alexander Rankin, 1 in the emPloy of Mr. John Brown, of Mc- Killop, met with rather a painful aeci- Ident. He was engaged in -driving a team of horses, when, something about the harness going wrong, he went on the ; tongue of the waggon between the horses, while standing ou the tongue, the horses started, and he fell° under their feet, and before they were stopped, the waggon passed over him, fracturing his arm and otherwise slightly injuring him.

Moved by A. Kerr, seconded by A. Govenlock, that the following sums be expended in has since been extended to Lake Huron as follows : Clifford. to Paisley June, 1872, and Paisley to Souther:Upton in December, 1872. Thus the whole main line from Guelph to Southampton, a dis- tance of over 100 miles, has been in oper- ation since December of last year. It is gratifying to the early promoters of the line and the many friends who as- sisted ,,and the by-laws in aid of its construction, that the promises made to the ratepayets have been ;faithfully peeformed. It ris satisfactofy to the Directors to be able to state that the quantity of traffic offered has ipeen fully equal to their expectations. The SeN eri- ty of the winter and other causes inci- dental to the first opening up of a line of railvvay have somewhat interfered with the transport of this large traffic for the past few months. The delays which have taken place will, the Directors feel coal -Went, be entirely obviated in the future. The works of construction on the sou th- western division or Kincardine Fork, from Palmerston to Kincardine, on Lake .Huron, have beeh vigorously carried on, and this portion of the line wili be completed and open for traffic by the Is t of Nov ember ext . The Govern- ment of Ontario have given a grant -of aid of $2;000 per mile from. Winghana to Kincardine, and the Directors have every reason to believe that from Pal - 1 merston to Wingbam, a distance of 313.!1, miles, the same amount vvill be given b the Government. The people inhabiting the tottnships of iteetinck, Glenelg, ; I.:gremont and Normaehy, and the town ! of Durham, have recently granted bon- ' uses to this Company to the extent of I $80,000, in aid of the construction of a !,fork from Clifford to Durham, a, distance of 17 1-5 miles, and the Directors hope soon to give the people of these town- ships the benefits of their system. The inhabitants of Owen Sound and. the country lying -between that and Paisley are about submitting by-laws in aid of ; the extension of the Wellington, Grey t and Bruce system to that point. There can be no doubt that bcth these lines. I when. built, -will add largely to the traf- fie of the line. The Durham line, will drain a very large tract of country at present not provided. with railway facili- ties, while the Owen Sound line will • • Gorrie.
