Ot course the trustees did quite right in accepting Mr. Norris' offer to teach at a sal- ary of $350.00 ifâ€" aye, there's the rub â€" if the said Norris possessed the necessary qali- lications. Will the Standabd kindly enhght- en us on this point. â€" Flesherton Advance. We beg to say in reference to the ahove that Mr. Norris com€s with all the quahficatious necessary, except perhaps that of a high salary. He holds a second class certificate from the Toronto Provincial Normal School, is highly recommended by the inspec- to of his district, and has furnished our trustees with high lecommenda- tious as to his moral character as well as educational abilities. We thmk it quite premature on the part of the editor of the Advance to endeavor to belittle our trustees without any cause. He is in the habit of doing this kind of thin^. Be more cautious. CHA]\GES. Cl.ancje seems to be the order of the day. Doubtless tlie present genera- tion is living in a very progressive age. The adoption of the time of the 75th. meridian caused a little stir at the time, but now things go on as be- fore and any temporary inconvenience that may have been felt has passed away. The next change will probably be the adoption of the twenty-four hour style of reckoning time. An agitation in this direction has already begun. All the railroads entering Chicago (with one exception) have adopted the new s\stem, so has the Canada South- ern. By this method the hours are numbered from one to twenty-four, 5 o'clock p.m. being seventeen o'clock and midnight twenty-four o'clock. The advantages presented by the adoption of this style of reckoning are not numerous. The change of hands, our railway line has undergone during the year will be particularly noticed in the change of name. The familiar name Toronto, Grey and Bruce railway al- most disappears under the title On- tario and Quebec railway, T. G. B. division, as will be observed from posters, time tables etc. While the uame may for a time be missed, the youthful days of the line with its sharp curves, its narrow gauge, and long delays, will not soon fade from recol- lection. i:?iCOKPOtiATIO.\. A meeting of ratepayers of Maikdale â- was held at the Markdale House on • Tuesday cvemnpr for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of having the village incoi-porated. There was a good representation of ratepayers present. Wm. Brown, Escj., WHS voted to the chair and read a re- port of the census of the vilhige which â- was taken by the trustees last week, '•tih'iwiiig the iiecct sary number of house-holders, fr-^cliolder.=;, and a pop- ulation of 772, Iwiiich is twenfy-iwo ever the necessLi^'y .uuinher.). Those iir«sent were cn.ilc.l on to express their views. After cnnsiuerablH dis- c^ls^iou in which tlioro were but two cii^seutiug voicesT" ii resoiatiou was i;assed requesting the village trustees to take the necessary steps towards having the villaiie incorporated. Notliiug important has t|-anspired hiuce our last issi.e in rei'-reuce to the Durham and Mj^iford railwav, we believe however a sciiemeis being pre- pared to carry out the project. O^vven SoimkI is likt-ly to li,ive conuection with the G. T. E. via Tara, while unotlicr scheme i.-i talked of for the px- tension of the iron r.iil from Mf. Forest to lap the C. P. R. af^Gravea- liurst or Bracebrid;ie, BEIJlflCIFAK. MATTBBS. Several new candidates are report ed longing for municipd honors in the various townships snrrounding this place. In Glenelg the fight for deputy- reeveship will likely be between McMillan and Glencroes, and will likely be a close contest Mr. Geo. Lanjj will likely be one of next yeais council, he is a good staunch man. lu Holland it is reported that W. Norton will again oppose the pre- sent deputy Mr. Shute^ quite a number of new volunteers are named for Euphrasia battle, John M. Davia is in the field as a temperance candi- date, kinder dry eh, sensible though^ ne will doubtless poll a good vote. H. Herd and Wm. Stewart are also spoken of, two good men. Markdale is quiet, none in the field yet accept the Mayer. m» » MUJ^ICIFAL MATTERS IN PROTON. The hnm of the canyaseer begins to be heard, and matters are assum- ing more definite shape. J. J. Midle- ton, Esq., who for nine years filled the position of Eeeve, very satisfac- torily, is likely to become a candidate, Mr. M. is a man of extensive muni- cipal experience, and under his care the township flourished financially. The desire has been freely expressed that Mr. Middleton should become a candidate, and should ho consent, it is almost a certainty, that he will be elected. Mr. John Agnew the pres- ent Deputy-Pteeve, and Mr. John Mc- Murdo, are likely to be the candidates for the Deputy-Pieeveship. Mr, Ag- uew will most likely be successful, as his past record is in his favor. The councillors with the exception of Mr. Robinson, will again seek re-electi'jn. It is proposed to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Robinson's retirement with Mr. Patrick Shaw. If Mr. Shaw decides to be a candidate, the chances are that lie will be elected. )SatT68p:ti:rtd.eni)8. Notice. â€" We wish it distinctly understood that we do not hold ourselves responsib'e for th*^ opinions expressed by our correspondents. To tlic Editor of the Standard. Sir, â€" I notice in your issue of 6th inst., a letter from the present reeve touching on the airs of the township, as I am interested in one topic touched by him. I beg to ask the Reeve the following quesitons on the Valley Road As the council passed the by- law establishing the Valley Road on the premises of Mr. Flesher and Mr. Hogg, that each of them would give a clear Iree deed of the roadway through their lands, has the reeve obtained from those parties the deeds promised by each of them. If not, â- why not as it is over three years since the by- law was passed it is important to ratepayer i that the reeve should see to it that those deeds are both secured PS promised and not run the risk of the township perhaps having to pay for that laud in the kng run. If both the sfiid deeds are cot alwavs made sure to the township will the reeve attend to it before election day and not subject the to-wnship to any tax for what should be given free as promised. Your obedient servant, Ratepavess. Dec.l2;88. iMPcaTANi Change.â€" Wo are jjlad to loarn that our estesmed friend Mr. W. J. Rowe, has purchased the prop- erty known as '-Barrhead Mills," and IS now in possession. Mr. Rowe is making f reparations to erect a new sa^v mill this winter on the sight of tlie (Id one, and will put in a circular saw, and have it in operation early next spring. This wilf be the best of news to farmers in tins yicin- ity. Mr. R, we can cheerfully recom- mend us a man of honor besides be- iny a good practical miller, and we wish him every success. FiRii. â€" On Wednesday night about hall-pa'^t ten o'clock, tire broke out in the building known as the old pottery. It has been used lately by Messrs. Stevenson Graham as a storehouse for their wool and manufactured goods. The building: and contents wereemire- iy consumed and the loss to Messrs S. G â- will be yery heavy. There was an insurarce on the stock of $8,- 000. It is quite evident that it wa» theworKcfan incendiary as no fit% had been in the building, â€" QrangeviUe Adverl'ser. '"â- â€¢â- _ Froi â- tmster, B.C Notesfrom a letter from XL.Browne, photographer, late oi Markdale. Nkw WisTMiNSTEB, Nov. 17,'83i We left Walkorton on the 11th Oct., to Palmergton, remaming there over night; left by 6 o'clock train the fol- lowmg mornin^T arriving in London at 11 a.m., remaining there until even- ing, when we took the Through Ex- press for Chicago, crossed the line (river) at 10 p. m. by ferry the whole train on board ship,, here we passed the American custems where many had a sweet old time, we passed all 0. K. however and arrived in Chicago at 9 a. m. next morning. Do not like the appearance of this great «ity, it being smoky and foggy ac best, left Chicago at 11:80 same morning via Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul R. arriving in St. Paul's the next morn- ing in time for breakfast, this being Sunday and haying decided to remain until next morning we had a good op- portunity of viewing the city. St. Pauls is' the most beautiful place on our trip, we walked over the Missis- sippi river by bridge to a bluflf from which the whole city can be seen on the opposite side of the river, here all kinds of labour as well as pleasure is entered into and stores kept open throughout the Sabbath day. At 8 a. nj. we got aboard the Maudana ex- press arriving at the latter place at 7:30 neit morning uud from thence per emigrant train for Portland. Here we enter upon tlie longest, dreariest, and yet the mosi beantiful scenery of the whole trip. The Cas- cade and Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi Snake, Missouri, Colum- bia and Frazer riyers. Talk obout the Queens Valley and Eugenia Fall?, why they are simply no where com- pared with the hCijnery along the Columbia from Wi'.iula Junction to Portland, where you can see more scenery every five minutes than in Canada all together, besides the mountains over which the train runs, sometimes the track is as steep as the roof of sjime houses, while you have winter and summer about every 15 minutes, you go up into the snow line then down to the warm and sun- ny valley. Whe have seen drifts of snow, had on overcoats, and in a few minutes into a warm and sunny at- mosphere. Jn -jrossing the rockiesat St. Helena,which is the capital of Mon- tana, you think you were as high as it was possible to be,yet you cau^ee the peaks towering thousands of feet above you on one side while the ra- vine is thousands of feet bolow on the other bide. This is inhabited only by Bear, Eagle, Ccyatle, Wolves c. A great mistake ic here made by travel- lers in attempting to measure dis- tance by sight, for instance we guess- ed a certain snow capped peak to be 100 yards above the track, some said half a mile, when the conductor in- formed us that it was. Just ten miles to the top of that particular peak from the railway track. The air is go clear you can see hundreds of miles. We could see the mountains two days before we reached them. We crossed Snake River in a ferry boat at Ains- worth just a weeks run from St. Pauls; Sunday again, everything in operation, sand fences here instead of Buow fences to protect the rail track. After we are fairly over the rockoys we follow the Columbia through to Portland, having seen water falls hun- dreds of feet high, green valleys far beneath and high mountains which are capped with snow the year round. Tresle work both high and lone, tun- nells many and dark, we arrived at thin place safe and sound, twelve davs from Walkerton, from Portland we, crossed the Columbia and proceeded next morning by steamer up the river to Kalarma, thence by rail to New Tacoma, then by steamer to Victoria. This is a very pretty place about four thousand inhabitantR.. We left Vic- toria by steamer which carried us to tiie end of our journey, viz., New Westminister. This is a fine country to live in, there has only been one slight hoar frost since I came here, had no oceasioa for an overcoat at this time of year it is rather rainy and some fog but otherwise it is dehght- ful and temperate, there seems to be no extremes either of heat or cold. Tiie city is situated on Fraser riyor and is built on a rising slope from river, from my house I can see Fraser for miles both up and down, up ia in the direction of Yale one hundred and twenty miles from here, down to Vic- toria nmety miles.; I can see suGw peaked mounti^a 85 miles off (Cascade Mountains.; I can see Mount Baker m Washington Ter. one hundred and fifty miles from here covered with snow all the year round, also mountains on Vancouver Island! Everything here is green, leaves on trees, flowers blooming in ^« open air, fruit ^9,t yet pulled. ' Jtawr received new good^ in Watch, chains X L N T stomped, also nuck- lets vsad other lines. Gall and see goods and get prices. W.. A. Brown, jeweller. The Markdale Literary a»d Gym- nastic club will give an iotertainmeut in Yogan's Hall, Williamsford, on Friday evcnmg the 21st December. This promises to be the best entertain- ment of the kind ever given in this district. The. club is over forty mem- bers strong, many of whom have made wonderful progress in horizon- tal bar performances, and not a few have become experts with the gloves. The show will consist of bar perfor mances, boxing exhibitions, sentimen- tal and comic Bonge, stump speeckes, farces, acted by the company, togeth- er with music from the string band, which is m itself worth the whole admission, ve believe a rich treat is in store for those who go, and have no doubt there will be a crowded house. Brown's jewellry, Markdale, is head- quarters for holiday and wedding presents in silver plated ware. Credit Sale Regrister.
