we are sure that it is the desire of her

at a sort of crisis in our existence. We
are, as it were, on the balance. Wheth-

DEAR Sift : Last year a fly sheet, ens
titled " A Few Facts," was pr inted and
circulated through the townahij of Stan-
ssor, and
It con-
nisrepre-
r a s eet
ted and
nthor to
usly cir-
election,
f giving
ley. The sheet was made up almotentirely
n
of an attack upon the clerkig
certain members of the council
tained as many falsehoods and
sentations as it was possible fo
of its size to hold, or the corrn
distorted imagination of the
invent. It was likewise ingeni
culated just on the eve of the
when there was no possibility
it a public contradiction ; and las it al-
ways ha e been the case, and I suppose al-
ways will be, that a great many people
believe whatever they see in print, there-
fore I have no doubt but what the said
sheet had something to do with bringing
about the changes that took place in the
townshipefficials afethe beginnihg of the
present year. But have thosel chanes
been for the benefit of -the township ?
Let us examine and see. Mr. Ander-
son's place was taken by a man who is
as far inferior in natural ability as it is
possible to conceive. Then the deputy.
reeve, who is a man of honest Y and in-
tegrity, was displaced. and his plane sup-
plied by a man of chameleon hue, who
changes bis complexion to striteivhateve
company he may be with ; who, if h
thought it would. gain him a little powe
or popularity, could be
a In the course of one revolving, moon,
Fiddler, statesre9 and buffoen '
Last year the assessor was a pairing man
of undoubted ability, with a lar e inter
est in the townshi, who, we be 'eve as
sessed tbe township to the bes of his
knowledge and ability, without fear, fa-
vor or partiality. His assess ent last
year was said to be the best in t' e Coun-
ty. But how about the assessc of the
present year? He was aseessor of this
township some years previous to st year
and we were informed by Hi Honor
Judge Toms at the last Division ourt in
Bayfield that he (Mr. Downing) 1 ad, year
after year, sworn that his roll as cor-
rect while at the same time he had only
assessed at one-third. vale. This year
he failed to have his roll comreted and
as directed by law ; he never affixed his
oath to the roll as the statutes require;
he obtained his salary in a questionable
manner, and then left his country for his
country's good. So much for the assess-
or; And now a few words about the
Clerk and the way the duties of his of-
fice have been performed, and then We
have done for this time, The author of
the sheet before mentioned stated that
"the Clerk's office was the, place to look
for blunders umumerable ;' he went on
to make a number of charges -not one of
them having even a mixture of truth. But
where is the proud author of the "f
returned to the Clerk on the tit of May
facts now? Where is that loudmouth
‚1
ed defender of the rights of the electo
this year? we suppose that he is this yea
revelling in the warm bath of a munici
pal office that he will not be the means
of pouring cold water into it. We hay
said that the assessor failed to complete
and returer his roll on the 1t of May,
Mr.Plunktt, our present clerk, swore
positively in court that the roll was re-
turned to him at the time above mention-
ed. Now, we would not for a moment
suppose that the Clerk took a false oath,
but surely there is something wrong, or
how did it happen that the assessor svas
at the raising of a frame barn on the Sau
ble Line on the second day of May with
the tin case and roll under his arm? We
are not prepared to prove that he was
making assessments, but we can prove
that he was taking one farmer after an-
other behind a pile of lumber and writ-
ing and figuring in the roll. Now, if the
roll was completed, as the Clerk swore,
what did all this mean? Again, it it was
completed, how dared the Clerk let it
out of his possession? If 1 mistake not
he was laying himself liable to a heavy
penalty in so doing. How would our
spotless Clerk have looked if some rate-
payer had called, as he had a perfect
right to do so, to examine the roll? We
faney that his face would have had rather
a troubled aspect. Again, we question
whether the law will look upon a roll as
completed until the asseseoes oath is affix-
ed to it, which Mr. Downing has not yet
done. Again, if it was completed, why
did the Council at a meeting in *nput
order the Clerk to notify the assessor to
complete his roll immediately ? But the
management of the voters' list is perhaps
the richest thing of all. 39 Vic.,C. 11, S. 1
2 says that the voters' list shall be printed
within 30 days after the final revision of
the roll. 37 Vic., C. 19, Se. 11, says
that July lst is the latest possible sittings
nici ality to look for them 1 He might as
well have stuck them on the gate posts of
Jericho. But thi is not all. The lista
were entirely inei
rreet and new ones had
to be printed, th s putting the township
to an additional expense, of about 820.
The only reason We can assign for such
Pgre6ious blundering is that at the time
the lists were being prepared,he was mak-
ing a succession o spasmodic efforts to
find a resting plade for thesole of his foot
within the pale of this municipality so
that he will be eligible for the office next
year -the trouble and anxiety consequent
upon such efforts must have been so great
as to disturb his equanimity to euch an
extent as to entirely unfit him for the
duties of bis office. REVIEWER.

al picnic of the Sabbath Scho. ol in cote
congregation of Bayfield, under the -charge
of Relic Mr. Russel, was heldon Friday
nection with the Presbyterian ens -
Sept. The place selected was Middle -
ton's Point, which is well adapted See
Audi atherings, and quite close to the
villagg, The morning was cloudy and
threatening, but the arrangements were
gone forward with, and by 12 o'cloeic
everything was in readiness and, a large
number of people on the grounds. Th
e
r tables presented a beautiful appearance
and the energyand taste of the ladies in
s charge were loudly praised. One hun
dred and twenty-five children sat down
to theafirst table, and it is estimated that
nearly 500 people were present. After
all had, partaken of the good. -things pro-
vided for them, Many repaired to the

game. Play opened very fair, but to
wards the fifth innings the play of both
was very indifferent, and a large score
was the result. Mr. R. Paulin, o
Wroxeter, umpired the game to the en-
tire satisfaction of both clubs. The
Stars, as is the custom when visiting
Wroxeter, were exceedingly well pleased
with the manner tin which they were
entertained by the Wroxeter club. The
Stars did not play their regular team in
this match. Below will he found the
score, which would not appear in print

-A match for the championship of
the County and the silver cup, was play-
ed on Saturday,the 2nd inst., betvfeen
the New Dominion, of .Howick, and the
present holders of the cup -the Silver
Maples, of this plae. Owing, no doubt,
re mainly to want of practice, the New
• Dominions did not prove formidable an-
. tagonists to the Silver Ma les, and the
game resulted in a victory or tire latter
b• y a score of 34 ito 9. In catching,
throwing and fieldin the New Domin-
ions were far benmel the champions, and
the only thing in which they approached
them was batting, ieveral two base hits
being made on their side. Owing to the
late hour in the forenoon at which the
game was commenced, and the fact of
the Silver Maples having to play a game
in the afternoon with the Seaforth Stars,
there Was only time for five innings to
be played. Mr. Robt. Paulin umpired
the game in a manner satisfactory to all.
of the Court of Revision and last day

it will be plainly seen from this that the
lists should have been out on the 1st of
August instead of the 16th. In his notice

the list was posited up in his office in said

cate attached to the lits, he states tha
it was posted in his office at "Bona Vista
Farm, ' on the 16th day of Augast, and
then he dates it as written at hi
office on the l3rd of August. Now,
how he could prophesy on the 3rd, tha
the list would be posted on the 16th is
more than we can tell; but, perhaps,
those who can translate the Bona Vista
will be able to explain this also. 1 But
where is the Bona Vista Farm ? Although
we never ew it by this name, and we
believe that the Clerk could not have
found a more unsuitable for it had he
searched the whole list of Latin phrases
contained in his 25 cent spellingbook.
Yet we have the pleasure of knowing
where this wonderful Bona Vista is !situ-
ated, and we have no doubt but t4at a
great many of the ratepayers will be amazed
when we tell them that it is not in this
township at all, and that Mr. Plunkett
has not now, nor ever has had sin his
last election, an office in this munic'pal-
ity ! Now, fellow ratepayers, what ne-
fit is it toyo that he posted up th vo-
