of Huron, like the people of Great
Britain, are et...maims aalittle -slow ;th.

Move to some purpose. Astwill ,beaseen
by the sinutes of the proceedings of
the recent (meeting ofi the County Com:s-
ell, ithey passed. a 1resoIutian giving
one .thousand .dollars a month to the
Patriotic Fund, the granteeto continue
during:the pleasure of the Council and
five thousand, dollars to the 'Belgian
Relief Fund. This is an, act worehy•of
a County of the wealth and importance
of the (County of Huron. These grants
are, of course, in addition to the gener-
ous, grants of provisions some time ago
given to the Belgian. Fund. ,
While not wishing in any way to
discourage „private contributions or ef-
fort. we %cannot help saying that this
Js the proper manner in ,which to -ren-
dr such assistance as the buedea
falls equitably on all as they are able
to bear it. On this case, also, it will
not increase in any way, the taxes of
the ,people, as the County will not re-.
quire this year to lay aside anything,
for the einking fund for the Cdttintv
debt, as the Openly is in the fortunate
po.eition of having fully provided for
its debt. This bzing the case the °ours-
cillers might have dealt even mote
generovsly with the re lief funds and
no person would ban found fault with
theta But perhape they will have :fu-
ture apportualtics for theexercise ot
their liberality.
