The meetings will commence at half'past nix o’clock p.111. In the Township of Markham, we have numerous candidates for Municipal honors. For Reeve, Messrs. James Robinson and James Speight are in the field. Mr. Robinson has been a very eflieient Reeve for a number of years and has given great satisfaction, and there is no doubt he will be reâ€"eleeted. For Deputy Reeve, we have Messrs. Lane, Button, Eakin and Break; the first mentioned two we hope will be re- turned. For Councillors, we have Mr. Wm. Milliken, who acted in 1869, and made a good working member; Mr.Wm. Padget is another, who has served thel township, as Councillor, for a number of‘ years, and is favorably known as being a‘ careful economist. Mr. WmfiLundy is a. resident of the 4th concession, Well educated, a thorough business man, and successful farmer. We have no doubt he would make a firstrate Councillor. Mr. Jacob Homer is another candidate for Councillor, and it is possible he might i make a good run ; he lives in the north- west part of the township, Where no other candidate resides ~ this will be greatly in ‘ his favor. We hope the electors will go i to the polls in good time, and do all they can, to elect their men. > l “@1112 Egg/NM On Monday next, the 2nd ult., the electors throughout the country will be called upon to record their votes, for their representatives, at the Municipal Council Board, for the year 1871. Dur- ing the past few years, the electors have had the privilege, according to the pro- visions of the‘ncw Municipal Act, of voting for the whole representation re« quired for the Townshipâ€"a system many of the electors have objections to, as it, possibly, may leave sections of the Municipality with no representative at all, and other parts with two or three. This has been the ease in both Vaughan and Markham, in the past, and, in a spirit of fairness, it ought to be remedied by the electors by giving their support to the candidates who would represent, by residence, as near as pusaible, all parts of the Township. In District No. 1, Vaughan, we have the Reeve, two Deputies, and one Councillor; rather a formidable representation from the front â€"and the people in the western part of the Township may say they are not re- presented at the Council Board. We do not admit that the late Council have done injustice to the western part of the township, by being nearly all from one neighbourhood ; but we do claim, as an act of fair play to the wesrern part of the township, that the front give a liberal support to a candidate, west of the Hum- ber River. The gentlemen in the field for Deputy Reeves areâ€" Messrs. David Boyle, from Richmond Hill, R. J. Arnold, from Thornhill; Thompson Porter, from the south-west corner of the township, and Archibald Cameron, from the 6th concession. The candidates have all their particular claims to advance; Mr. Arnold, among? the rest, may say he has served» the township faithfully, and for many years. Many doubt this, especially the former assertion, and say that there are instances in his position .as Deputy Reeve, where he has endeavored to serve family private interests at the expense of the township. The very extravagant witness fee of $20, in the case of the Municipality vs. Jack- son, is loudly complained of, and several other little trifles that he is responsible for. It would be more satisfactory to the township, we think, if Mr. Porter and Mr. 130er were returned as Deputy Reevesâ€"one to represent the west and the other the cast. The candidates for Councillors are Messrs. D. Rneman, T. Webster, Blain and McLean. The old Councillors, Messrs. Raeman and Web- ster, we expect. will be re-elected. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

I thought how cruel it was for a small clique, in Markham Village, to put Speight up to oppose him. How glad I was that the manuscript of Jessor's speech was lost by the jolting of the railroad train coming ov'er the cut, through Stott’s farm, as it may have been the means of turning a few un- wary to vote against him. I could hardly help exclaimiug the joy I felt, when I thought of the number of Hay ~Slings it would have required to have slung them all back in to the ranks again. It will save many a. dollar to Mr. Robinson’s funds. Mr. Button should not have said anything about Mr. Robinson making $4 a day, as County Commissioner, and as employee of the T. and NILE. 00., to buy land, and to help De Grazzi to make things more favor. able to the Company than to the farmersâ€"â€" it was none of his business. He had .a. per- fect right. to do~it, when the County had to pay for it, and for the past his , too. I left the noble Reeve, and called on the Hon. Ravid Deesor. Was very hospi- table. "Mr. Muggius, just in time for dinner; do come in." I did. After dinner I rebuked him, gently, for his desertion of our friend, (as I call him now,) Mr. Robin. son, our noble and generous Reeve; With l l Sm,â€" Ky feeble brain is all right once more. After my last brilliant effusion, I went down to the House, and got a fivecent nip, with some sugar in it, and it did me a great deal of good. I feel quite recuperated. The Economist came to hand, as usual, containing the proceedings of the l l l l nominations, and, ii' I am allowed to he a jndge, it bears no comparison to mine,loo.':-r ing at it in n readable point of view. He did not do justice to Mr. Robinson, our noble Reeve. I will do so now. I will he like‘Genornl Grantâ€"I will fight it not on this lineâ€"or, rather, sling it out till the elections are over. I feel determined to have him elected if it takes every-Sling sold hy the whole four companies, organized by him and Shupe, and Chomas hlcilansland, P.D. After the nomination I thought) I would take 2. drive, and see the several nominetcr and nominated, and standing candidates. My first visrt was to Dr.Cancerr and the reception was most ccrdial~rushing forward, grasping my hands in his, exclaim- ed, “My dear, dear Huggins, I am glad to see ycul” I explained the object of my visit. and asked him how he came to nomi- nate Our present noble Reeve. All at once, his broad, noble, end Teutonic countenance lightened up. said, “Nothing in the world would give hm: greater pleasure.” He said “He had strong Tory nrociivitics, and Mr. Robinson had told him, sub road, that he was a true and slnunch Conservative.” “ But.” said I, “ he told me, set?) road, that he was a staunch Reformer, and he must have fib‘eed to one of us.” “ Well,” said the Doctor, "in that case he must he strad- dle the fence, and as he was the only man on the Board approaching a Tory, I nomi- nated him.” Said I “ what about the Hay Sling? you surely cannot be so blind to say what you did, .nd support him.” He re- plied, ‘4 That at the earnest solicitation of our noble Reeve, in fact, coaxed me so much that l, at last, consented, the Reeve also saying to me that there were a good many Dutchmen opposed to him, on account of the Bay Sling business, that if he were nominated by two Dutchmen it would make matters all smooth; he also complimented me, saying, ‘that on the Saturday night, previous, he had been Pike hunting, in Markham Village, and the nearest thing he caught was the Pikes’ brother-in-law;’ I took it very kznd or" him when he said that.” “ My dear Cancer,” 52 id I, “ you have quite unarmed me, in reference to Mr. Robinson, and I shall certainly call on him today. Good-bye, Doctor.” “Goodbye, dear Muggins-g I’m glad you called, so as to have matters siung rightâ€"Goodbye.” As I had not been in Markham Village for some weeks, I determined, after seeing Dr. Cancer; to cull dpon our noble Reeve. The Village looked well, all the stores were very gaily decorated for Christmas. To moire an excuse to find out the noble Reeves‘ head- quarters, I called at the different hotels and Sogga’ Falcon, and had a cigar at each, but could not find it, and I began to think it, too. had “ Gone where the Woodbine twineth." I felt I had to take something with sugar in it to revive me. At last I hailed nim at the head of the Village, hail‘ ing voters as they came inv at headquarters. When he saw me, tears came to his eyes, and, almost choking with utterance, he ex- claimed, “Is ibpossible, Mugginslâ€"dear, dear, Muggins, is it you? I am, so over- joyed it almost unmans me 1” I suggested something with sugar in it, and We sugared. He felt better. Taking a few minutes rest, he explained to me all about the Hay Sling, which the victims were trying to injure him with in his canvass, but it was of no avail. I replied, “ Reese Jessor contradicted your statement in the Economist, and how am I to reconcile your statementsâ€"both can’t be true; you must recollect,” the Reeve re- plied, “that my position, no matter what I say, the people are bound to believe it.” “ How do you manage,” I asked, in utter admiration of the noble being in whose presence I stood, “ when they won’t believe THE CANVASS FOR MARKEAM.

SIR,â€"Another year has rolled by since I last sent you an article from here, describing the proceedings of the fifth anniversaxy of the Patterson Union Sabbath School; and, with your permission, I shail feel. pleas-ed to narrate to the readers of the Herald, the prececdings of this, its sixth anniversary, which was a most decided success. . ncl far in advance, in my opinion, of the «me la: year. The hall was decorated wilzh ever- greens, &c., in a style similar to that of last. year. On a pintform, with the Christ- mas tree on either hand, sat the school with their respective teachers; in its centre was placed the splendid melodeon, at which Miss Wiley presided with great abiiity. The festival was opened by the school sing- ing the “Christmas Song," and a short prayer by the Rev. Mr. Woods. The school then sang another hymn entitled, “0, come to the fountain.” Master George Enowy was then called on to give the “opening address, which was most appropriate with the occasion, and was recited with marked ability in so young a speaker. We were then treated to a splendid piece, “The merry Cristmas time,” by the infant class; then a selection, " Dominion quick-step," arranged by G. D. Graham, from the Pat- terson Brass Band. which needs no flatter- ing to enhance their abilities as an amateur ‘ B. 13., under the leadership of their talented master, Mr. Andrew Spnlding. After this came a recitation of. Scriptural texts by the different classes, which they'concluded by singing a piece of music, “All the way.” Then a recitation by Master Douglass Wiley, which was very good. A piece of music by the school, and another recitation. “ Gran’- ma-aliays does, by Master Leroy Conger, which brought cheers and shouts of applause from all parts of the house. A selection by the band. Another recitation, “ The slave's dream,” by Master A. S. Patterson, which was very good. A piece of music by the school ; then a selection. “ Mother’s fool,” by Master A. Savage, which was well de- livered. Another very pretty piece of music by the school; and a recitation by Master Henry Laird, “The Maple Leaf,” a Cana-‘ dian piece. A selection by the band. Among the remaining piec'es of notice were , “The Drummer Boy,” 9. Scottish piece, by Master D. Conger, which was Well delivered. And the “Prairies,” an American piece, by Master Thos. Crowly. This part of the programme being finished, there succeeded tthe presentation of a purse to Mrs. Wiley, as a mark of esteem, from the P. S. 8., by .Miss Annie Laird. Then a speech from the Rev. Mr. Fishburn, on the “History of the Christmas Tree.” Then the distribution of gifts from the heavily laden branches of the Christmas Tree, which abounded in toys for the children; loverletters, etc., for the young aspirants; smoking pipes, neatly done up in square looking parcels, for the smoking community; glassware, cruet stands, etc., for the guid wives ; books for the studious habits of the crockery persua. sion, for the old bachelors;etc.; and nu- merous other articles. Among the most valuable were one set of silver mounted harness, and a fine painting. This_being ended“, the Doxology was sung by the audi. ence. and the whole wound up with the” National Anthem, by the band, which closed the sixth anniversary of the Patter- son Union Sabbath School. I I remain, with the Reeve, by telling him to get Dr. Freel to secure two Dutchmen, who had had nothing to do with the Hay Sling, it would do just as well. I would have done it my- self, but receiving large orders for sand, from Toronto, Kingston, Hamilton, Stoufl'. ville, and Sparta, and other large cities, at- 31.25 per load, which, you know, is nearly all profit, and the Railroad Company would feel very much vexed if I did not dig it on the banks of the railroad cutting. The digging in the only outlay." I felt con. vinced he was right. Was he wrong? Not cab-it of it! Home wore on and I couldznot call on {.ny more candidates. Next day, instead of calling on any more nomi. nees, I went to the several Hay Sling vic- timsâ€"Roms Jamer, Racob Jayme-r, Rovid A. Deesor, Nilliam Wickles, Gavir‘I A. DI-osby, lesse Jessor and his nephew, and all the rest named in the category. They told me all their complaints, and that the statement: made at the hustings wcre not true. I repliegi they were true. But, at last, growing tired of their senseless clamor, I gave them a cussory glanceâ€"a la Robin- sonâ€"and told them I did not believe a word they said. Neither I do.
