¥U2V1C1PAL,
As, the time for the municipal elec-
---tions draws near, the candidateslor
the Village Council for the; ensuing.
year begin to come to the front—but
very Glow --and we will in all proba-
bility have a much livelier contest than
was the ease at the previous elections.
Considerable speculation as to who
will compose the new council is heard,
and little groups; of citizens are fre-
quently observed on,the streets and in
the various shops of the village, con-
versing on the subject, and giving their
opinions as to the merits or demerits of
the various persons named as 'probable
candidates at the coming elections.
We expected ere this late day to -have
been able to lay before our readers the
flames of the candidates, but there
seemsto be . an uncertainty as to who
will "'stand, they not having come for-
ward with their cards. •It„is time the
electors -were informed of who would
likely be the probable candidates. No-
mination will take • place on the 27th
inst., and the elections, on the . 3rd. of
January.

liuxters, hawkers. and peddlers ° pnd
praying the Council to increase the li-
cense of these persons to one hundred
dollars.
Mr. William Clegg, Reeve of Blyth,
stated to `the effect that all the peddlers
could not be placed in one category that
some were respectable andmanufactur-
edthe goods theypeddled, and for this
and other reasons he intended •to make
a motion t'o the effect that the license
should be increased to fifty dollars. •

of the utter fatuity of suck: a motion.
was still further expatiated upon by
Messrs,. Hays. Strachan, Black and
Leckie,, the latter gentleman taunting
the•mover of this motion, with being
suddenly imbued with a fit of economy
which was totally inexplicable to him:
This motion besides the mover and sec-
onder was supported by Mr. Wm.
Young, Reeve of Colborne, and Mr.
Wm. Graham, Reeve of Stanely, and
was voted down by 37 others of the
Council. The whole fuss was about the
matter of $147 extra advertising di-'
vided amongst the papers of a comply
as large as a kingdom.
