SEAPORTS, JANUARY 9, 1880.
The Ontario Legislature.
The first session of the fourth Parlia-
pent of Ontario, opened at Toronto on
Wednesday. Thefirst and only busi-
ness of that day was the election of
Speaker. T9 this important and hon-
orable position, Mr. Clark, the member
for Centre Wellington, was unanimouee
ly elected. Mr. -Clark was nominated
by Atterney-General Mowat, and his
nomination was seconded by ex -Speaker
Wells. Mr. Meredith, the Leader of the
Opposition, in a neat speech expressed'
his approval of the nominatian„, and
_from his knowledge of Mr. Clark. he
prediated that he would actthe port of
a fair and unbiassed chairman. The
nomination, he said, was in every way
pleasing and satisfactory to the Oppo-
sition.
There is, perhaps, no member of_ the
House better qualified for the position
of Speaker than he who has been elect-
ed to that office. As a Parliamentarian
he has had -long experience, and in his
capacity as chairman of several of the
most important committees, he has
proveu himself competent and impar-
tial. The Government are to be con-
gratulated on. their selection.
On Thursday, the Speech from the
Throne was delivered. This document,
1
which usually forespadows the policy
of the Government, and. gives an inkling
of the measures to be submitted, is not
' overly burdened with promises. This,
however, can scarcely be taken as an
indication that the business of the ses-
sion will be meagre.A measure pro-
viding for the erection of new Parlia-
th
present site is promised., the question of wi
tax exemptions will:be dealt with ; also
a measure for the extension of the juris-
diction eel Division Courts, and other Me
measures of la, -w reform. Legislation Sa
, t
so, we will now do it. Aside froMtfe
care of the county buildings, the only
bondfide business for the county eduncil
as it is now constituted is the equaliza-
tion of the a.ssessment rolls and the care
of the bridges. If our contemporary
ean point out any other items, weishall
be glad to have it do so. Well, -hi
Huron, aud we are safe in assuming
re-
spect of equalization : In the county of
-that ours is a fair .sample of all, the
other counties, it is an indisputable
fact that the entire work of the oom-
mittee is done by the chairman and at
I most two other leading members. These
!:work industriously, and the others take
, little or no pert in the proceedings. It
is equally a fact that the most of the
work, and the most difficult and intri-
cate part, is done by these two or three
lea.ding members when the committee
is not in eession at all, and that , the
other portion of the committee is 4im-
ply a drag and a hindrance to these
working members. If, therefore, this
work cats be done by three men, as it
• now actually is, why procure 47 to do
what three can and does do; and sare-
ly three men can be got at much less
cost than 47. Besides this, the exist-
ence of so large a body in itself cre4tes
an immense deal of unnecessary routine
Work, sothat if the number were de-
creased as we proposed, the labor en-
tailed upon the paid officials would be
proportionately decreased, and, as a
natural consequence, the expense in
this way would also be lessened, so t at
the saving would not be in councili s'
fees alone, but in the salaries piciels
as well. But our contemporary thinks
there is a danger that the bridge com-
missioners would not perform their da -
sties as efficiently if there was. no ccen-
•
cil-to hold them responsible for their
'de-ings. Here, again, it seems rath r
anomalous that 44 men should be r
quired to "boss" three, or four, as the
case may be. Although the road cone-
missioners might not be responsible to
the county council, it was never pr
posed to form them into an irrespons -
ble body. It was -proposed that they
should be elected by the township couu-
cils, and that they should be respons -
ble' to them for the proper discharge
their duties., As their duties would b
performed in connection with th
Reeves and Deputies of the local coun
cils, how is it that these officials would
not then be in as good a position to se
that things were _being done r;ght as
they are now? Does the fact of a visit
to Goderich three times a year improve
their vision or make them any sharpe
or more acute ? It will thus be see
that the objections urged by our con
temporary are more in imagination
than in reality. In fact, we have no
yet Seen one valid -reason urged for the,
continuance of this body, a,nd we are
sure that the more the peoplei conside
e matter, the more reconciled the
11 beconie to the change we advocate

County Councils.
The Seaforth EXPOSITOR,.in its lest
week's issue, returns to the subieet of
the abolition of the County Council,
and takes up the,. objections that . have
been raised against this proposition in a
calm and dispassionate manner; but
still, we thinkeit fells to give a good
and sena& reason why they should be the
abolished, or dearly show how the eari-
ous matters that come before that body
are to be more ecceoraically or prudent-
ly deeit with. As we do not think
there is the least likeliheod that County
Con:tails will cease to exist for, at leaat„
many years to come, it is unnecessary
to enter upon a long discussion of the
subject; but we will just point out a
flaw or two in the argument of our cou-
temporary. It assumes that e commit-
tee would have to be appointed by local
• councils for the equalization of the as-
sessment rolls:, and read and bridge..
- commissioners, as at present, Which-
happeust te be fame -and not three as7it
states, which, united, would form a
- tolerably good-sized council. Although
it is time that the road co.neraissioeiers
performed their duties so economically
and efficiently last -year as to need no
check or correction, are .we - to assume
that it would always be the ceee, and
that no. supervising body is needed?
When they know they are ' responsible
to, a corporation evhocan supervise their
work, and call them to account if they
do anything that is contrary to the best • c°118
iiaterests of the community, they will be De

Shying
(Written for HE EXPoSITOR )
This vice or li b't • horses may
arise from various reasons—ma,y be
short-sightedness. - Those which shy

from a natural ne vcusness or timidity,
or from cunning, o feom defective eyes,
from nervous irritebility are the most
da , they give no warn-
ing. Those which shy from defective
vision see almost everything strange.
A stick of wood or O stone becomes an
object of terror, sirnply because the ani
mal does not see it as it really is. The
one which shies from cunning is
always on the lookbat f some excuse
'to "scare," because,' some time, or
other, he has been let turn around and
o back, and this is what he wishes to
accomplish again.
A few general remarks as to the best
ode of dealing with this vice will be

all that is necessary. First, tlaen, keep

CHEESE FACTORY MEETING. —The
shareholders of the Rodgerville cheese
factory met at the factory on Wednes-
day last. The report of the Directors,
declaring a dividend of 13 iter cent. on
the paid-up capital stock was unani-
mously adopted, and a new board of
directors was elected. The board is
composed. 'of Messrs. James Lang, John
Scott, Peter Moir, John Robertson,
James Moir, A. G. McDougall and
James Connor. At a subsequent meet-
ing of the new board of Directors, Mr.
James Lang was re-elected President,
and Mr. James Murray,Secretary-Treas-
urer, and Mr. Thomas Tapp was again
awarded the management of the fac-
tory. He has now occupied this posi-
tion for four years and has given the
most unqualified satisfaction both to
shareholders and patrons.
—At a meeting of the patrons after-
ward held, the report of the past year's.
business seas read and adopted as sat-
isfactory. From this report we learn
that this factory in common with all'
others has suffered from the depressed
state of the cheese market during the
past season, as only about half the
quantity of cheese of former year was

Luke's church, Goshen Line, did •not
forget to remember their respected pas-
tor, Rev, R. McCosh, during the Christ-
mas holidays. A load of oats found its
way into the reverend gentleman's barn,
being the kind and thoughtful gift of
the good people of St Luke's. We are
glad to see that a marked -change has
taken place in the Hayfield mission
during the incumbency of Mr. McCosh.
The congregations are large and atten-
tive, and. the church is making steady
progress under the guiding hand of our
faithful pastor.

meeting took place on the Babylon line,
in the Methodist Episcopal church, on

got up for the purpose of supplying
funds for the Sabbath School, and for -
the furnishing of needful articles re-
quired by the church,. Too many
thanks cannot be tendered to the cona-
raittee who labored hard and willingly
for the success of their object, and never
hesitated until their work was satisfac-
torily finished. The_ evening being all
that could be wished for, the church
was very soon crowded to its utmost
extent On the meeting being called to
order, the choir of St, john's dittieh,
Varna, being in attendance, gave an ap-
propriate piece, and also oontinued to
discourse excellent music at intervals
during the evening. The eatables pre-
pared. by the ladies were all that could
