A few more days, and 1882 will be-_ come “last year,” and we will have added to our years another twelve months experience of what. we call life. How ' has the year fared with us? How many can closely examine themselves. and ad- mit that they have reached any higher plane of existence than they had arrived at. last New Year’s Day? Annual Meetinnghoq. F. Wu Dace. kinhmond Hill High SchooI.â€"Wm. McBride No. 30: Whole No. 1278 :- THURSDAY DECEMBER 28, 1882. We all started 1882 with thoughts ofl doing better in many ways, and how fewl have succeeded . The bnght hopes that afforded us so much pleasure in anticiâ€" pating their fulfilment, have not been realized. Can it he that We have simply existed,â€"that we have not got any fur- ther ahead ? Is a whole year gone, appar- ently, and nothing to show for it,â€"-the world not even a little better for our existence ? There is no doubt that in many perâ€"â€" sons’ experience this is the real case, while others have even reached a. much lower stage of our common humanity than they were at one year ago. Let us look around and see how we stand with ourselves and our fellowâ€"beings. If life has not gone on as successfully with us, as with others, are we not too prore-to murmur at fate ? There is a good deal of sound common sense in the remarks of a frontier philosopher, when naked how he acted when the world seemed to use him roughly. “Well, 1 just grin and bear it, if I can’t help my- self." There are some cases where the only thing to he done is to bear it,-â€"and In such peculiar circumstances it is just as well to relax the features into a smile. if only for the sake ofshowing an unâ€" sympathetic world ihat there is a certain amount of' enjoyment in the condition, and condolence is not desired. But there are very few people, arrivedl at years of thought, who can live a whole yoar, without learning many useful lesâ€" sons. It is just as well, at the comâ€" mencement of a new year, to reflect aw little on our past life, and see if our exâ€"‘ perience will not be of some benefit durâ€" ing the next twelve months. Now is the time to make good resolutions, purchase a diary. forget all enmity and other dis-â€" agreeable things, wish everyone the com p- liments of the season, and endeavor, by a little generosity to make it a happy new year for some who are not as com- fortably situated as we are. “A HAPPY NEW YEAR.” On Monday the electors will record their votes throughout the country, for the men who are to run the municipal government next year. The newspapâ€" ers, of course, are full of advice to the readers, as to the men that should be elected. In- the Township of Markham there: no good men in the field, and the rateâ€"l "payers are intelligent and reasonablel enough to know that. their interests are better served when they select men on whose iiudgement and integrity they can rely. There is no remuneration in accepting the position of Councillor, but. the Township may suffer severely if men are elected who do not devote the necessary time and attention to the public interest. We are not in favor of electing men, in municipal contests, simply on account of the party they belong to. But because a man in an active Conservative or Re~ former is not any reason why he should not be returned it he has the proper qualifications to make a good Councillor. There is no doubt that many men do vote strictly party, and that politics are Being introduced in the present case, by some zealous persons. The electors are well acquainted with the candidates, and should- be able to select good men to manage their affairs. t who 3mm mm.

Last- Friday there was very little iu-- tel-est shown in the nomination of can-- didates for the position of Reeve and Councillors. The Council was elected by acclamaâ€" tinn. Reeve, John Brown ; Councillors, Messrs. I. Crosby, J. Sanderson, W. Pugsley. and H. Hopper. Mr Wm Trench was nominated for Reeve, but declined to Iun. Mr B Red- ditt and W Pogue, also declined nominâ€" ations for Councillors. The (ax-Reeve. Mr Trench, the mem- bers of the 01d Council, Messrs Redditn, Sanderson and Pugsley, as well as the new Council, addressed the ratepayers. Mr Trench said he had done his best as a member of the Council for the bene- fit of the village. He thought che new Council would do their duty. [Ie deâ€" cllned running this year because his bus- iness required his whole time and atten~ tion. Mr Brown thought the Council would he guided by past experience, and as there were two old members elected he hoped, if they considered they had been dipping somewhat freely into the public funds in the past, that they would euâ€" deavor to economize in the future. He would try and keep down the taxes, as much as possible, as he thought they were quite high enough. As the Reeve he would do his best to represent the village, at the County Council. n u Mr Pugsley said if the old Council had ever done anvthing wrong, and could see in what way they had done so, they would rectify it. In opening up the new Street they acted for the best. interâ€" ests of the village, and he believed the people would recognize that such was the case, before long. _ Mr Sanderson considered that his xeâ€" election for two successive years by acâ€" clamntion, was a guarantee of the confiâ€" dence of the ratepayers. He would at- tend to the public interests as he had in the past, and would devote especial at- tention to the promotion of the Fire Company, in an efficient condition, as he considered this one of the most import- ant organizations in the village. MrLCrosby thanked the elé'ctors. and would act for the best interests of the vinage." M: Hopper would do the best he could as Councillor. He thought the taxes prelty high, and if he could lower llwm any, would do so. Mr Redditt said it was well enough l to talk about low taxation, but perhaps before next year was over theywould find ‘ them high enough. The taxes this year were not high. York Township paid a rate of 11 mills, and Richmond Hill bad | only 101» mills, The new street might! appear of particular benefit to some, but l it would prove beneficial to all. Whatl he had done, he did without fear 01" favor. He supported the new street, because he thought it a good thing for the village, and he would do it again, if he had the chance. He was not in favor of high taxation, but he thought the vil- ‘ lage had manv conveniences, such as sidewa ks, good streets, protection against fire, etc. If the village was afraid of a mill or two it had better go back into the township. His reasons for not run- ning this year was that his business took him away from home so much it would be impossible to attend to public business and his own too. Mr D. C. O'Brien addressed the meet- ing regarding some items in the Treas- urer’s yearly financml sgatgment for 1881 The Treasurer stated that the sum of money referred to had been withdrawn from one bank, and placed in another, with the consent of the Council.

The entertainment in the C. M. Church, on Friday evening, was well patronized, notwithstanding the driz-l zling rain and unpleasant roads.

Woodbridge, Dec. 27th, 1882. Business the last week, has been“ more quiet than usual, at Xmas times. t The only reason we could give for it was the good eleighing.

Goon FOR SANTA CLAUs.-â€"This Christmas seems to be a good one for the venerable gentleman who drives about with a reindeer team, and makes his entrance and exit through the chimâ€" neys of the highest and wealthiest :15} well as the lowest and poorest people in the land. M any thousands of little children, all over the world, were eagerâ€" ly and anxiously counting the days and hours which would ensue before Christâ€"- mas. They still have strong and unâ€" limited faith tn the existence of that ancient friend of the little folks,-â€"who is always the same to each young gener- ation. It is nbeauttful sight to listen to the mysterious whispers, and to see the delight and wonder in the bright eyes of‘ little girls and boys. as they disâ€" cuss and speculate on the hour of Santa’s visit,-â€"the evening before and the morning after that personage is sup- posed to put in an appearance.

Presents were distributed from a rather attractive-looking “Jacob’s Ladder,” by our esteemed and venerable friend Santa Claus, who developed an astonishing amount rf agility and youthfulnesa for one of his number of years. The room was crowded to the doors, and many persons were unable to obtain even standing room.
