Moved in amendment by Mr. Mid- dleton seconded by Mr. Myles, that June and December Session be done away with in fntore, and that Ibe rata be stmek in January instead of Jnne. The mover of the amendment said the necessity existing for a December Session had passed away. The same might be applied to any other session The rate could be stmek in January as weU aa June ' thongh they could as well do away with June Bession as December. Mr. Mclntyre thought that if the bnsinees of each session oould be done in three days instead of six, it would be mnreeconou-ical but three sessions were necessary. Did not consider it would be wise to make a donation to the present Warden, for instance, be fore he completed his dnties. Mr. Fox though there wa a good deal of bnucome about bothrssolntions the best economy would be to reduce the pay to $1.60 or $2.00 per day, and do the business m three or four days.

Did not tlun either ameDdments amount- ed to anything. The result of the amendment to the amendment oould be to necessitate Special Sessions, which would not be much economy. Did not see the use of brmc^ing forth ReeTes here in December to do noth- ing at all. Mr. Blyth thought it would be well to do away with December Sessions, Was of the same opinion as the Reeve of Olenelg. Mr, McNicol thought it was neces- sary to hold three sessions, but was in favour of shortening them. Mr. Mnrdock moved b third amend- ment as follows :-' That the December Sessionbe not dispensed with, but that this Council meet on Wednesday instead of Monday next Decemb- er. Mr, Read said not a single member hod as yet shown the necessity for a December Session. The speaker wanted to know what hid been done in December last, U there was any necessity for a third session, let the Warden call a special Bessicn, Mr. Clark said he noticed a good deal of loafing around the streeto by the members of the Council. Thought the business could be done in less time. The Wardenâ€" had su^ebted that the address should be done away with, which if done, would be the means of saving one day. Mr. Murdochs third amendment was put and declared a tie. The War- den gave his casting Tote in favor of the 8rd amendment, thus making the December Session four days instead of six. Mr. Sing, presented report No. 2 of County Property Committee, re- commending that owing to tha high price of ooal that hewafter wood wodd be ased instead.

Clause 1 â€" Beeommending that the salary of Mr. John Miller, Court House- keeper.be increased from $90 to $160 was passed. Clause 2 â€" Haye had under consid- eration a matter of arranging a settle- ment on the separation of Mdlancth on and Sholbumfrom this County, which bad been recently left to arbitration, nhish was passed. The Warden said he was one ot the atbitrntoxil in this malteV, and the settled ^/ atbitri»to£| in this malteV, a T)IOyTmn^T!ol being fin all J was under Bylaw No. 174. Mr. McRae advocated the adoption of the agreement rather than going into arbitration agaio. Mr. McGirr, thought it would be well for the Treasurer to address the Council on the arrangement with Melancthou. Mr. Parker, the County Treasurer, was then asked to address the Coun- cil. He shewed the basis upon which tbe award d $2100 U. be paid to Melancthon under general accouut had been arrived at, and also award of $272,96 to the County under By- Law 107, and the award of $12,236 to the Municipalities grouped under Railway By Law 174. At the first meeting held at f iesherton, it was mutually agreed that the County of Oufferin bhould issued its debentures atlO^lyrswithinterestatGpercent pay- able half yearly for the above amount of $12,236, but subsequently it was found that under the Special Act in- corporating tbe County of Dufferin it was provided that each municipahty forming the County of Dufferin, should settle ite own indebtedness with the County from which it was taken. This discovery necessitated another meeting of the arbitrators to change tbe award from County ot Dnfferin to the township of Melancth- on, which meeting was held in Shel- bume, but unfortunately he was not able to be present, or yet Mr. Mid- dleton, therefore the Warden was the sole representative for our County. At this Shelbume meeting the former award as to general account and By- Law 107 were sustained, but the award to By-law 174 was slightly changed in this respect, that Melancthon refused to provide a sinking fund to meet the $12,285, but preferred to pay the amount in ten annual paymente with interest at 6 per cent on unpaid prin- cipal, to which the Warden finally agreed. This arrangement was was not as good as that entored into atFleshertonby about $0M. but as fair and equitable settlemente has been effected nndet general aewnnt and By-Law 107. ha would not reeom- mend tbe mattnr to be again opened up to arbitration^ aa it wasqnite poesiUe if agaiOi open- ed up that aeaah settbrnsmt of $12, 265 migbLbeanired at, in soefa eaae with tk* pNsent rate of interest we â- re leeei v in g- on ottr sinking fund inveetments, soeb a settlement would be wwaathaa even the SbeDmme one, in et many points such as Melanc- thon ^aim to a share of tbe profits on sinking fond already paid m, might bemiwd, aad endless htieabon aad thertffi^ taldag OODsideration he ipeo the Council the tatiiyiBg the Shelbame Ml Sins pitMeated Report Bo. 8 of Oottnty Pro^irW' Oftm'mitt^ 'ireedm- thiAllie Ooal i3teie* ia the Court House and Goal be replaced wHh Wood Stoves, aod that the Coal F*f|n*aa be alao leplaesd with one far baniing wood.

The news of the discovery spread like wild- fire, and soon hundredc of people from the neighborhood assembled at the spot, coming by every train from vil- lages and cities along the line of the railroad, and by teams from other pointe, until this afternoon over 2,000 were tbrongisg this little village, tbe totel population of which is only a trifle over 800. The body was cram- med in a barrel, the bead and feet projecting from one end, aud the whole in a perfect state of preservation tbe skin white as marble, the flesh hard, and the features as beautiful in death as they had been in life. There was not a trace of offensive odour, and the opinion was freely expressed that so much arsenic must have been admin- istered to the poor woman previous to her death as to cct as a perfect pre- servative. The excitement was in- tense, and still continues. The im- pression is now universal that the wo- man was murdered by her husband, aud if he had been where he could have been captured at any time to-day or this evening he would have been strung up to the nearest trea without the ceremony of a trial. As it is, there is a strong sentiment in favor of capturing and hanging him whereever he may take refuge, even U he has himself locked up in gaol for safety, as it is now thought he will do. He was in Corunna when the discovery was made today, and in obedience to a telegraphic warning started lor Pon- tiac, where be now is. When he pass ed through that place, on the train which was here at 9 o'clock this even- ing, bo was notified of the feeling against him,' and of tbe necessity of his presence being unknown. There was an immense crowd at tiie depot, but they were not told of his bdinc; on tbe train, and t guard against dis- covery he crouched under the seats, those who were aware of liis doing so not letting it be kuowu until after tbe cars had left the station. â€" Detroit free Preu. „ aevecal tiMa^ aaA «Ma M« Urfa. wei^uaf Irwta Jotf H it* «M|S,thV4V*aartoW A WONDERFUL CLIMATE.

' LocranLLE, Ky., June 20. â€" A few days since the Courier Journal con- tained a special from its Nashville cor- respondent to the effect that a woman residing in Jackson County, that State, had given birth to seven children at onetime.

The physician gave directions as to the care of both mother and children, and prepared to take his leave. Be- fore reaching 1 s horse at tbe gate he was recalled, and delivered the woman of another girl baby. Again the phy- sician took his leaye, and again was recalled. BRIMODia TO UOBT ANOTREB OIBI.

To prevent diphtheria, and finally extermmate it, every man, woman and child throughout our land aud the world should be brouht to obey the laws of life and heajfei. Parents should regularly feed, ^fperlj elothe and duly restrain all children, bMb«v they come to the years of understand- ing and acooontability. This atone would do moeh. A late prominent physican of Paris estimate 1 that 8,000* chUhren had died in that city, daring tbe thirty years of his practice there, from short sleaves, short pants, auu other kindred imprudence in tlio dressing of children. And I am fuUv convinced tliat as large a portion are sacrificed, in towns at least, in this country, for the rame cause â€" all for the wicked fashion. And from care-' ful observation, in this country and abroad. I am oonfident that at least as many more are carried off by im- proper food and irregularity in taking it togotber with poisonous candies, and other unwholesome and indiges- tible trash, that no child or other pcr-^ son should eat.
