The whole is granted on condition that the Company settle all claims which the City may have against. the County for filling up of the water lot of the Gaol grounds.

Who has not been willing to make any sacrifice, and incur any expense to effect their cure; but as years rolled on, and no relief came, the sufferer has concluded they were inevi- table, evils,and has endured martyrdom from the oparenfly simple causes which have tor- mented mOre people than any other ailment ot' the human frame! There is none that entail agonies so great or suffering more se- vere. We are glad to know that corns will soon be numbered among,r the things of the past, owing to the skill of Dr. J. Briggs, the far famed chiropodist, whose success in treat- ing; diseases of the feet almost surpasses be- lief. His method involves no pain, no drawâ€" ing of blood, and no application to the loot, but the result is. the patient is effectually re- lieved, in such a manner as to excite both wonder and grmitude. Dr. Briggs may be consulted at his office, No. 6 Klng-SL, west, Toronto, by those who wish his professional services.

The Dominion Parliament will assemble next week for the dispatch of business. 1 Many of the members of the House of Commons are on their way to Ottawa, in order to get comfortably settled down be- fore entering upon their labours; Mr. Wright left here yesterday morning in good spirits, eager for the fray. We look forward to a lively session, and hope to find the government well prepared to meet the expectations of the country. Many old politicians will be anxious to learn what ceurse will be taken bywSir F. Hincks in the great question of Banking and Currency; it is one with which the Finance Minister is quite familiar, and is likely to receive his best attention. The Red River d’ifiieulty will be venti- lated, and we may expect an animated debate on it before the session closes. Sir Francis Hincks will, no doubt, re ceive a large support from the Reform section of both houses, having Mr. Aikins as a colleague in the Senate, to draw strength to the government. On the whole, we believe the government is popular, and will have a strong working majority. The debates will be watched with great interest, as a matter of course. We shall take note of all that is going on, in which our readers feel interested.

The Township of Markham’s veins have been in a sluggish state for some years; but at the last municipal election “ new blood was in- fused” into the council by the return of Speight and Reesor, instead of Button and Milliken. Poor Button was wiped out completely, and Milhken was made to stay at home ; and at the first sitting of the Council it, was made really apparent that the choice made by the free and independent electors was very juqicio‘ue. ' ... A.-- .. . u .v .< . iu the Assessorship is just what we wanted, and we have it in the appointment of Mr. David Crosbyâ€"brother ot the most worthy local memberâ€" who lives at Unionville, where the only station on the T. :35 N. R. R. will be placed for the Township of Mark- ham. Mr. D. Crosby is a person of vast eX' perience, no matter what “ Critic” may say in the Economist to the contrary. Suppose he has not the necessary property qualifica- sions for the office, what is that his busi‘ nessl can’t he make it up in “Blood.”{ The “new blooded” members of the County l Council introduced “ new blood” into i many things â€"â€" they did â€" among othersl into the Trusteeship of the Grammar School of Markham. The Editor of the Economist said it was time that “new blood ” should be infused, and so it was, by the appoint: ment of the Rev. Donald Fletcher. of Scar- boro’, and by the dismissal of the fogy mem- berâ€"Squire Barkerâ€"the Old Church Pres- byterian corruptionist, whose “old blooded” ideas were a dragon the wheels ot progress “more especially with reference to Gram- mar School Affairs. I understand the “new ‘ blooded” Educational Committee, of the “new blooded ” council, were desirous to appoint educated men to these offices ; and I believe they have appointed classical scholars in every instanceâ€"men fit to fill any chair of learning in any of our Universities. The “new blood” in the Markham Grammar School Board lives only nine miles away. and he can attend all meetings of the board without the least inconveniencemand “ new blood” being always strong, I don’t see why he can’t. Scarboro’ has struggled for years for her rights, and now she has at- tained them at last. It is said that since the " new blood ” was introduced â€"â€"- although there are no Searboro’ students attending the school at the present time, there will be no less than fifty scholars ready at the com- mencement of next quarter. Nothing like “new blood ” for this age of improvementl Since so much has been accomplished by the “ new blood 7’ from Scarboro’, why not try some of our “new blood" from Whit- chureh, which I think is just as good as Searboro’ ever had or ever will have ; and I don’t see why it is not better. because the EAST RIDING on YORK AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.â€"The annual meeting of the above Society was held at M1llikeu’s Corners, on Wednesday, 19th January.

MARKHAM TOWNSHIP SABBATH SCHooL Assocrnioxâ€"A meeting of this Associa- tion will be held at Markham Village on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 15111 and 16th insts., in the Wesleyan Church there. Min~ isters from all Evangelical Churches and two delegates from each Sabbath School in the Township are invited to attend and take part in the proceedings. within our 'l‘owhship and further away from that immoral village called Toronto. As our Township has furnished more scholars to the Markham Grammar Schonl than Scar- boro’, I think, in all justice, we ought to have three “new bloods” to get our rights and intereststs attended to in a pro- per manner. I may safely say that if the “new blooded” educational committee would give us our rights in this matter, that when Scarboro will sendher fifty scholars,no doubt, the Township of Whitchurch will send one hundred and fifty more; in this way the Mark- ham School will be one of the largest and best Schools of the kind in the whole Do- minion, and second only to the University in Toronto. These two townships being able to furnish two hundred scholars through the influence of the “ new blood,” with the few furnished by Markham, you will see. Mr. Editor, that the attendance will be very respectable indeed. As I said be- fore, these are “bloody " times. I almost forgot to mention that our township has had “new blood” infused into her councilâ€"by the addition of one Deputy Reeveâ€"and] can’t understand why our interests were not attended to at the meeting of the County Council. But. the “new blood” from Markham rather overfreached our “new blood” this time; but if I know mvself, I will see that this sort of business has been done about long enough; and that when the next meeting of the County Council will take place, there shall be, at least. two “new bloods” appointed from this town‘ ship, to the Markham Grammar School Board. Mr. Editor. I believe in “blood,” espem- ally “new blood.” when it is necessary to frustrate lhe recommendation made by a Grammar School Board. for the reappoint mth uf‘two ofils “old bloods.” Does not “ new blood” know where “ new blood ” is requiree ? Of course it does; even if it does put out or dismiss a. very efficient “old blooded ” member. Newmarket had “ new blood,” three years ago, and says “blood,” now; Whitchurch says “ blood ;” Stoufl‘ville says “ blood ;” Unionville says “blood ;” Ringwood says “blood :” Markhathrough the Economist, says “ new blood ;” the York Herald says “blood,” and all say “blood,” and I sign myself, Nothing like “New blood.” New blood Whitchurch, February 5, 1870. @nrrezpnnhenre.
