 y:'-i' L-1, J li^H I i:j tm a i-2^' The majority of the public wherein this paper circulates are by tbia time, no doubt, aware of the demiue of the famous imported heavy draught Clydesdale Stallion, "Garfield." Apart from the serious Ii^bs to his ownar», Messrs. Trimble Pickell, the public at large are the beaTiesl leosers in an indirect sense, for the class of "Crar- field's" horses ever find aready market at very remunerative prices, and as it is now an evident fact that Ontario faimers must pay more attention to stock raising, and that class which ob- tains the readiest sale and highest prices in the market, is that which we must adopt. The stock of "Garfield" stood without a compeer m his class in the country for use or market. Now that he is gone, with sucb a heavy loss to the owners, it is questionable whether he will be replaced by another unless an effort is made by the stock raising public to in some way assist in sharing the expense and nsk in pur- chasiag another. A proposal has been suggested to Messrs; Trimble Pickell that those desirous of propogating first-claks stock 'or taleable horses, Bhon}d subscribe a certain sum to- wards defraying the expense of pur- chasing another horse of the same class, for the district travelled by "Garfield," which proposition they have had under consideration, and liave decided to make a proposal to the public which will be found in an- other column of tbiis paper. "Gar- field's" original cost was two thousand five hundred dollars lor fitting, travel- ling, wages and feed until his death, in all thirty-two hundred dollars from this may be deducted the amount on the season book, which, with neces- sary allowances, will net from eight hundred t-j one theusand dollars at most. It will therefore be seen that they are loosers to the extent of at least two thousand two hundred dol- lars, and in view of this we think they have a just claim on the public, and we trust that they will receive such assistance as their enterprise merits. It would be quite unecessary to antici-- pate any probable failure on the part of Messrs. Trimble Pickell in faithfully carrying out any agreement entered into wiih the public such as their proposal contains, as their in- tegrity and reputation is a sufScient guarantee for its due performance. Jottings From Enplirasia. COUNCIL MEETING MUNICIPAL PBOBABIL* ITIE8 SCHOOL MATTERS, AND OtHEB ITEMS. From the Mirror. The township council held a regular meeting at Bocklyn on Saturday last. The business transacted was chiefly of a routine charact«r â€" passing ac- counts, etc. A deputation was present in reference to the re-arrangenient of a couple of school sections in the neighborhood of Harkaway, and numerously signed petitions bearing upon the subject were presented. The council took no action but decided to await the report of the arbitrators, which should have been presented ere this. The deputy-returning officers, weret appointed. They wUl be the same as last year except at Bocklyn, where Mr. Georg* Crabtree replaces Mr. Thos. Abercrombie, and at Kimberley, where Mr. Thos. Ellij' sncceedes Mr. James Yelland. Though no opposition candidates Iiave definitely announced thendselves some of the present members are al- ready on the warpath. It is now al- most certain that Mr. Bobert Myles will not enter the contest, and it is therefore probable that Mr. Alex, ilrskine will oppose Mr, Gilray for 4he reeveship. Mr. Fawcett is likely to be opposed for the deputy-reevesbip by Mr. James Erskine. Perhaps both of them will ran. In this connection it has been stated that the reeve of Meaford in- tends taking a trip through this town- ship to talk against Mr. Fawcett because that gentleman did not vote in favor of having the Jane session .of the County Cooneilheld ak Meaford. If Mr. Fawcett did wrong the people «ie quite capablo of finding it out witkoat the assistance of Mr. Bobort j. Agnew. It might be as well for him to mind hia own Irasineu.

WM. BROWN CO. Markdale, October 20, 1885. 265- tf lots. The Thernbary Standard states that Ml. James Webster of Beaver- dale mills is likely to be a candidate for this position. The ratepayers of Eupnrasia have always shown a pre- ference for young men of good education and business habits. Mr. Webster is just such a man, but is not yet much acquainted throughout the township. The real contest will likely be for the deputy-reeveship. In 1888 when Mr. Fawcett first became a candidate for this position, the fight was three- cornered.. Mr. Erskine was elected, the vote standing: Erskine, 268; Fawcett, 280 Hurlburt, 45. In 1884 the fight was a streight one, and Mr. Fawcett was elected by a majority of 56. Last January it was again a streight fight, and Mr. Erskine was defeated by 42. It may be that next January the sixteen ladies, whose nam€8 now appear on the voters' list, will hold the balance of power. In this event the result would hkely be about a tie. Mr. Erskine is a well-to- do bachelor, while Mr. Fawcett is well known as a prominent ladies' man. THE PIDAG06UES. Mr. W. J. Boyd has giyen notice to the trustees uf the Fairmount school that he will retire at the end ol the year. His successor has not yet been appointed. Mi3S Kate Wilson intends givmg up teaching, at least for a time. MissBrennan will likely be re-engaged for the Beaverdale school. Mr. Chas. B. Sing has been re-engagedatBocklyn. At Epping there has been considerable excitement respecting school matters lately. Mr. Wm. Guy handed in his resignation as trustee on account of permanent removal froi/i the section. Mr. Thomas Jordan did likewise, his object being to become an applicant for the pcsition of teacher, his Class I certificate having been revived by a recent amendment to the school law. At a meeting held recently Messrs. Samuel McEnight and Thos. Gilray were elected to fill a vaoancies thus created. It now transpires that Mr. McKnight has a son who wants to be teacher. Mr. Henry Ball, the present incumbent, is a brother of Mr. Bichard Ball, the old trustee, and he seeks reappointment. And a cor- respondent in last week's Standard seems to think that one of the recently elected trustees can control the other. If I was a betting character and had any money, I'd bet an even amount on' all three applicants, as against each other, and I'd put up an amovTnt equal to the total of these tl#3e amounts on an outsider. It is understood that the Beaverdale mill will be re- built in the spring, and that in the meantime Mr Webster will procure portable machinery so as to keep the business running. Mr. J. C. Patersen, of Blantyre,has joined the firm of J. W, Paterson Bro., Montreal and Toronto, and they have recently purchased a paper mill at Lindsay. Mr. Paterson will re- move to that town shortly.
