No. 36; Whole No. 1180;.- Volume 23- THURSDAY, FEB. '10, 1881, Some of our County Councillors have very peculiar ideas of their duties. They seem to think that the Council is a House of Commons, on a small scale, and that it is the duty of the members to discuss political questions, and cen- sure or approve of the course pursued by the Dominion Government as they deem‘ proper. If that is What they are elected for let it be clearly understood. The less Welhave of such seenes as took place on. Fi'iday last,’ the better for the count: 37 MriVVinéhester, ‘Reeve of 'Brockton, introduced a motion which, in effect, ccnsures the Dominion Government for accepting the terms of the C B R Syn: . dieate, and requests the Government to open the whole business again for comâ€" petition. ILMr Winchester had not been certain that the Syndicate bargain would have been condemned by 0the Council, he would not have brought the matter- upg‘ If he had any doubtg what- ever, as to the action of the Council, he would not‘ have brought the motion ’forâ€" wa1d.Hc knew when he made the motion, that a majority of the Council were strong Reformers, who would conâ€" dcmnfitt‘h-‘é Government every chance they got. and on almost any question that. could be brought forward, These Rizfoimers were not ~elected because they were Beformers. They Were elect- ed to attend to County matters, because of personal popularity, expe1ience in 'f‘mulnicipal aiiairs, or because better men ‘did not think it worth while to run against some of them. Even where a slight political feeling was introduced, no particular issue or question was at etake, and in no sense whatever, can it he said that these men at the County Comicil_,r‘epresent the opinion of the ratepayersot‘ York, regarding the Synâ€"' dicate terms. The real truth of the ,‘matter is that Mr Winchester 18 desir- ous of distinguishing himself a, little and thought the Syndicate motion offerâ€" ed too good an opportunity to be lost. Some of his friends, not desirous of taking a prominent part themselves, persuaded him to make a little cheap glory for himSelf', and make some capital ior the Opposition. Mr Winchester is anxious ,1919088 use. patriot but his real motives are 'too apparent. :v‘We contend that as a County Council it is‘none of their business what the Dominion Parliament does. As rate~ payers and citizens they have full liberty of action and speech, to stump the coun- try’asoft'en and whenever they please, and condemn the Government on every question.. .But as County Councillors political questions dealt with by the Dominion Parliament is out of their jurisdictiOn. If this‘sort of thing goes on, th’eCounty Council will degenerate into a~meretrainiog school for blatent politicians, "and the real business and welfare of- the County will be neglected -"-and suiier thereby. Let our County Councillors attend to their own business, and if they have any time to spare, hire a hall, and harangue against the Gov- ‘b'rnment'at. their own expense. ‘Cnt‘il further notice, Mails will be closed at the The. inquest. on the Sheppard children, who die 5111911611 10 have been killed by 111011 mother at Whilevale recemly was concluded 011 Saturdav.

Big Sleigh Drive on Tuesday, In imt., to Weston and back, by the scholars of the Public Schools. The thermometer was only about 15 °below zero, but the child-- reg; did not care about the cold, and early in‘the morning you could see thorn wend-l ing their way in droves to the Schoolrbom, ‘ to wait the arrival of the sleigha, which‘ came at the appointed time. and in a few‘ minutes after about ten sleighs were filled up with children. Off they went to Wes- ton. arriving there ahout 11 o'clock. They stopped about 2 hours, had lunch and a good warm at Ruseel’s Hotel, where the kind host. and hostess did all in their power to make the children and the friends which went along "Happy.” They got back to Woodbridge about 2.30, and drove to the Orange Hall, where tables were laid and filled with the best things the ladies of Woodbridge could provide. The Orange County lodge of West York was held on laluesday Isl inst” at Weston, and was well attended.

Don’t hear of any more anti-Syndicate meetings just now, guess they got tired of them. They had a lively lime in County Council the other day, condemning the Syndicate. Of course they don’t bring politicsinlo County Council matters. But it seems they had a straight parfy vote. There is a great deal of sickness around our_!ow_n just now. but. not many deaths. The Curling season has just go: nicely started here. Two Rinks were out from Toronto on Monday. and gave the Wood- bxidger’s a lesson on .what they called the "Shuper up,” or "m turn.” but I would call it a good “Supper up Boys,” and don‘t you forget it, and pay "Dun Chaim” well for it. I think the winding up paj‘t IS the principal knack in curling. A Sleighing pally went from here to Bolton on Monday evgning. The January thaw came this year in February.

In an Aurora store window can be seen a splendid life size oil painting of the late Dr Rupert. of Maple. It was executed by Mr W. Jackson, an Aurora artist and reflects great. credit upon him. Mr Isaacs has purchased the St. George’s Hotel in Schomberg. He act- ed the past of mine host at that hostlery for a lengthened period, and now that he has bought, we may look for still better accommodation, if that is possible. On Monday morning, 3131: ult , about two o’clock, fire was discovered in a small tenement on the Bosanko estate, ‘Aurora. The building was occupied by a couple of young men, who followed the calling of broomâ€"makers. The fire is supposed to have originated from a defective fine. The Ioss,â€"including adjoining stablesâ€"is some-where in the neighborhood of $150. There was a man â€"John Black by nameâ€"working at Marsh’s mill, down in Vaughan. His arm, by some means, came in contact with one of the trim- ming saws, fearfully tearing and laceratâ€" ing the flesh above the elbow. He was very fortunate, however, in not having any of the large arteries severed. The Doctor says it will be three months be-- fore he can do anything. This is un-- fortunate for him, as he is a married man, and has to depend on his work for a livelihood. On the first day of March next the‘ Queen's Hotel again changes hands, M r. Richard Wells being the purchaser. Messrs. Graham Bros. have carried on the business for several years past, durâ€" ing which time they have gained the esteem of all classes of the community. By maintaining strict decorum about the premises, and paying strict attention to the wants of the travelling public, the house has gained an enviable reputation. Ill health, however, of one of the firm, has compelled the change. From the new proprietor,â€" Mr Wells+great things are expected. He is universally respected by those who know him. He has been a resident of the place for a number of years, has served in the Council for several terms, and is a shrewd business man,and should make a live, go ahead hotel-keeper. The buildâ€" ing is now admitted to be one of the best north of the city, yet it will be thorough- ly overhauled and remodelled to suit the t tastes of the new proprietor. Mr' Wells bears a Provincial reputation as a- horse- dealer, and we see no cause why he should not make his mark as mine host of the Queen’s, LONDON, Feb. 5.â€"Carlyle died at half- past eight this morning without a struggle in his 86th year.

DEAR SIR.-â€" Permit me through your valuable columns to correct; an error which appeared in your issue of the 3rd inst, in regard to a “chip and tie surprise party.” Now, the only "cap and tie party” that I have heard of in the village, was held at my place, and it was certainly the very reverse of anything approaching a row, and the only parties that could refer to it. as such, must have been of the “lower ten” order, whose only reason was their not being invited.
