FACTORY FOR SALE OR TO LEASE. Terms Liberal. / J. CHRISTOPHE & BROS. Ingersoll December 27, J87a f . Y ]&9 S P EC IA L IN DU C EM E N TS k AT THE For Mayor, th* gentlemen nominated are Meesre. John McDonald and C. II. Soriey. Both of these •gentlemen have previously.occupied the..office—Mr. Mc Donald during tbe year just doting and also fa*18^-aud.7% Mr. Barley during the years 18^4-6. The contest betwen these twa gentlemen willTfe a close ons, as both ate well known and have been proved to be capable and efficient officers. Mr. Soriey,wm a candidate for the office Utst year and was defeated, os Lis oppo nent, Mr. Mapenftld, has acknowledged, on a false cry raisSd at that - tiuie about {filing dpbepfrprcs. These charges which Were lohl'ifctitakt Mr; 8. were false and nn- feunded and when the acknowledgement comes unsolicited as it does from .the lip* of the m«in who rode into power on the strength of them w^.thiuk it only an act of justice that tbe ratepayers should con firm tbe y^htiat cf Mr. McDonald by electing Mr.i ^prteyrto the petition which he filled so ably during tbe years 74 and 75. From the number of very able men who are offered as candidates for the various offices fa the gift of the people for the en suing year, we have every reason to b*- liev* that the Council of 1877 will be one ofjth* most efficient that has over bad pin- f« around the board, aud with such an efficient executive officer and business man PREVIOUS TO THE HOLIDAYS.

We are sorry to see that temperance matters are bring intro duced into the coming contest, but as that question ba* already been settled, so for u the Council is concerned, we cannot see with what reason or justtao it sbould be mixed up in tha pmeant contest, both pro- hUrttonteta and anli-prohftitfrrai*ta are equally to blame for this mult and wo foar that its introductfo^ at U oat for For Reeve Mr. Thomas Brown baa been that ho is opposed to tbe Dunkin Acl' That may be very true, but the passage of that Act has passed .ont of tho mods of the County Couuoil and we would like to sab what is the value of his opposition on that . question f Simply nothing. Tbsse are the reasons why wo oppose Mr. Oliver's election at tbe present time. We do not wish to refer to the multitude of other reas ons, in his other capacity of Parliamentary representative, which might be referred t«, considering these to be sufficient, but we must say that the gentleman’s remark that ■ bo bad defeated Mr. Noxon before, and he wonld do it again was uncalled for and un worthy of a man seeking tho sufforages of an enlightened and intelligent community. Mr. Noxon, we believe, is aotuated by tho purest motive* in sacking to represent tho town in tbs County Council. He has a large interest at stake fa the town, and his business is of such a nature that while ho may be advauring titafntensta of the town ho would also be advancing his own.' Mr. Noxon sees tha importance of securing a reduction fa freights from Ingersoll, and be knows that this can only be done by seour- iug a competing line to the G. W. R. Wo know that a largo amount of onr money has been spent on the C. V. R. to accom plish this object, and that from tho pres ent aspect fa the affaire of that undertaking there is a strong probability that all that money will be lost, if energetic steps are not taken to secure tbe advantages which it was intended to bring. While Mr. Noxon is opposed to granting any ad-, ditional bonus to this enterprise," wo may depond upon hitnla nae his utmost endea vors and to exercis* that indomitable ener gy which is so characteristic of him fa bringing about as spoodily as possible some schema by which more equitable rates for the transport of freight may be acquired. Men in business, and property holders, in fact every resident and person who has an interest in tho town must see the necessity of bringing about this much- to-bc-desirad end. The prosperity of the town absolutely demands that immediate stops in this direction must be taken, and we urge upon the ratepayers of tbe town to throw aside all other questions or issues, which must sink into insignificance before this all-important one, and to take into earnest consideration which of these two ■men are best calculated to further this in terest which is of paramount importance. We all know that Mr. Noxon, who, if he considers anything to be for tho interest of the town, if il is within his power^will|pu*h it to the end until it is accomptehed. Mr. Oliver, we are sorry to say, from what we have seen of his actions fa office, is not al ways aotuated by motives for tbe good of ths town, bnt if he has an axe of his own to .grind all other things must give place for him—self first, and his conslitnents afterwards. Feeling confidant that the town will profit, ax they have done fa the past;by sending Mr. Noxon as their repre sentative for this* office, we shall be glad to sae him elected. For Second Deputy Reeve the candidates nominated were Messrs. E. Css*well and M. Walsh. As will be seen by a card fa another column, Mr. Walsh declines tbe nomhration for this office so that Mr. Cass- well will virtually be elected by acclama tion. Mr. O., it is not requisite for us to sayi »s “ there.” A more energetic man of business our town does not possess, and whatever he undertakes to do will be “don* up brown," Mr. Casswell held th* office of First Deputy Reeve fa 78 and part of 74. Tiro two Besvsa already elected could not be improved upon, and it fa to b* earnestly desired that good men will be elected to assist them fa carrying on th* work of the The exemptions b m taxation in Guelph amount to 17fO^DO.

The defalcation of bank clerks, earned by their speculating in slocks, may be consid ered epidemic,so many cases have recently come to light. Tho recent fire in Brooklyn theatre has rendered audiences very susceptible to sad den alarm, panics through toise alarms wore occasioned at tho Montreal Academy of Music and the Washing National Thea tre, on Monday night last, resulting, fortu nately, in no serious injury being done be yond doors and window screens being torn down.

Access of airwu prevented as far as possible thenceforth. The hay was closely packed in mo are. The testimony of the firmer and all his neighbors is that this crop of hay was brighter and fresher the nest winter and was more nutritious—the cattle eating Iocs of it—than any previous crop. We might site numerous similiar examples. There is nothing Ju iliis contrary to science or mum. The uver-heating of hay will only take place by the action of the oxygen of the air in ‘the presence of moisture. Be* move either and the heating will not occur. Itemova the moisture and the grass becomes dry bay, less digestible, end minus some of its nutritive and aromatic qualities. It is bettor economy to keep out excess of oxygen and have cured grass for fodder. There is a great saving ot l*l»or too in housing hay the some day as cut, which of itself is a strong argument for the system. Every wetting by dew, every hours sun after tho grass is wilted, lessons tlie value of the fodder. We can take advantage of tho idea by providing tight barns', and keeping them closed until ths hay has gone through its ’• sweat," which is a slight fermenta tion which drives off* excess of moisture without injury to the hay, if excess of oxy gen is not permitted in tho meantime.— Scientific Farmer.

He ottered an oath iu life surpriio at being taken nn- awnrea. and entletvoted to free himselffrom the grasp of life wife, but in vain.

Ha had not thank ed hiFbrother-fn-law for He kind thoughtof him, and it had not entered hfo head to do so, which w m ungrateful, to say theleast of it, Michael considered.‘ Wo wanted—Angelo and myself,’ he continued, ‘to keep the matter dark, andwe fanned you would some round fa au hour or two, and thank us for the oourso we bad adopted—or rather which wo hadcarried out, according to your first sugges tion before yon went altogether off your head. So wo kept it dark, and Angaloand I—we are staunch friends I can tell you—have taken it in turns to watch overyon since.'4 Where fo Angelo now ?’ asked Brian. It was his old question to Dorcas.

You understandthat ?' ‘ Yes.' responded Brian, ebudderiug un der the touch of his relation by marriage; * but I would prefer Dorcas's looking afterme now if she is here.’ ‘ To be sure,’ said Michael frankly;4 sheis the better nurse; I am only a clumsy hand.* 4 Exactly. I should like to sleep now,if you don't mind,* said Brian. * Why you have just woke up,' said Miohael in disgust. ' Still I am tired,' said Brian.4 Very well, do as you like. I shall ba glad to get on deck ; I feel terribly queeragain down here,’ nid Michael. Michael went above deck and into the fresh air. As he ascended the ladder Brian felt half disposed to ask another question—the old question as to the reason of Mabel Westbrook's not coming to see him as he bad wished—but ho checked himself intime. Ha could not believe in any reply that might be given him by such a liar as had done him the honor of taking hfo de parture, and hence the question w m unnecessary. Dorcas turned to him after her husband’sdeparture. ‘ There,’ she said triumphantly,4 you be lieve him at last You tea what his realnature is for the first time. ’ Oh yes, I sea what his nature is,’replied Brian; * but I am in your hands till I geta little stronger, not his. You will remem ber that ?* * Yes ; but how distrustful you are,’ sheanswered. ‘ Di (trust runs iu the family, Iunafraid,*said Brian. , Ah 11 know what you mean,’ cried Doreas ; 4 but I do not dfotrnst him now. Ho has given mo hfa word be meant noharm: it wm »U silly flirtation, and more that woman’s fault than hfa, and just be cause he w m so handsome. And he has 'explained everything to you so dearly Brian.* * Very clearly, yes.’ Brian said- 4 Nowlet me rest and think the best of him that I can.*‘ You srfff fry ?’ <*1 will try certainly,' Brian said. ‘Giro me some water, please ; you will flni some in 1 I hat bottle in the rack there.' H( pointed to an ingenius contrivancenear his berth for suspending a small water bottle and glass without danger of spillingthe contents, and Doroas filled the glam 1 and gave it to him. After he had drank, ho turned himself feebly on his aide anddoeod bis eyes, and Dorcas Halfday watch- 1 ed him, and thought of the better timee that might ba coming to them with thebetter understandfag of tach rfher. I Brian thought of many things but Ma- ’bolWostbrook would stand flrot and tot*.most and confuse mattera. Ha wanted toreflrtt on his pment position, to far as hfa ’ week brain would allow—why he was inthat ship at sea. Mid with what object ! Michael Sowell had sailed .away wiih him from Scarborough; but though there seem- 1 od to bo treachery in the background, and ' a Milled plan which lie could notfotb- 1 em, he preferred to think of Mabel; to wonder when ho elwnld eee her, and when would be the first Apportaoity of hia com* 1 rnnaioating with her,and tolling her where 1be wm.

I have proofs to the contrary.*' What are they T ‘When you were very bad—raving in fact —I thought you would die, and I had bet ter took after your effects and taka possession of them before any one else interfered. I opened your pockel-book for one thing,’Michael confessed.* And took away the copv of Adam Half- day's last will,* Brian concluded for him. * I own it,' said Michael, ‘ and I will ownmore than that. If it had been the will it- Ktlf, I should have token it and destroyed '/Well,' said Brian, ‘ Il’s a plain acknow ledgement. I am glad I left the originalbehind me.’‘ L would have destroyed it for youi sister'ixsake as well as my own,’ Michael said, ’to save the misery and excitementwhloli the production of another will would create. For look here, Brian, I will fight your claim to the death, if I spend everypenny in law to defend myself; I will dis- pute the genuineness of that cursed docu-incut inch by inch.* 4 You will have no ease,’ said Brian, calmly. * Or I'll bolt with the money rather thanyou shall have it,'he remarked. ’ It will not be the first time you have bolted,' was Brian’s caustic response.It was ut. unwise answer for a him somuch in Michael Sewell’s power as he was, and Brian felt that ft was so the instantafter the taunt had left his lips. He was always-saying imprudent or hanh things ; it was his old habit strong upon him, and asign ha was getting better, unless this waathe ruling habit "strong ia death.’’ Michael Sewell’s face deepened in colorwith the rage at his heart.‘ If you weren't flat on your back, I should have nut you there for that speech,* he burst forth. ‘Don’t say any thing likeit again, if we're to keep friends, or youvalue the little life left in yon.’ Brian Halfday waa not dismayed by this explosion of wrath. He kept his eyes onMichael and said, ‘ I don't want this money for myaelf, and I shall not take it from yon to enrichmyaelf.* * I did not believe that rubbishing tale about restoring it to Miss Westbrook untila few days since ; but if you are going to many the Yankee girl, thht’a anothermatter,' said Michael.•Think so, if you will. It is hardly worth diMussing,’replied Brian. * Ob, by Heaven, but it is I’ cried Michael,furiously. ‘I am not going to be worriedgrey before my time by your infernal op- position. I sty it is time to speak out.*1 Speak out, then,* Brian said. ‘I eannot escape you, it is evident.* Michael Sewell did not respond readilyto thia invitation. He bad failed to fright en Brian Halfday even the weak condition in'which the curator waa, and, with the ex ception of a terrible alternative, there wasnot much to be done. ‘Look here,' he said,in a low, sullen tone, can not We compromise this affairwithout the law's interference 7 You would not leave me and your own niter to starve.

' Ho promised to bring Mua Westbrookto nte. I wanted to see her,' he added, 1 with a heavy sigh. ‘ But still I am gladshe hainot come.' Doroas wm a prey to a host of conflict ing thoughts ; this new mystery was be wildering her and setting hsr jealousy in Ithe-background. The appearance of her 1 brother, sick and wounded, in the berth of Jthis vessel w m unexpected and singular. Did it account for her husband's presence ton board, and was there danger to be fear ed ? The laHor fad had delivered hfe message wliile Michael Sewell was half aileep, or half dead, and she deecended to thecabin to solve the riddle which perplexed ‘ Tell mo wl-atbaa brought you down solow as this,' she urged, ‘for I do not underAland.’ _ ‘ Yon did not expect to fin d me here ?’her brother aiksd. ‘ I did not dream of it.' • Why are yon with mo ?'‘ I have been following Michael, as you know,’ she said, in reply. • I thought ho w m going away with that woman at thehrfeJ; mid whoa hu camu on board 1 watched my opportunity, and joined him.But I did him an injustice, Brian. I waa very wrong. The woman is not here. Ho does not care for her a bit.’ Brian Halfday did not appear to be moved to any great exhibition of joy at his ma- toy i vindication of the ahijractfar of herhusband—was not even pleased at the ful filment of his own nropnocy as regarded Michael Sewell. He lay there verythoughtful for a whie, with hii eyes flxed <n tha lantern swaying from the roof of thecabin. • Your husband is here, then ?' he said atlast. ‘ Ym ; and, poor fellow, oh, so in I’ ‘ I thought I had been dreaming of him*-more than onaaJ jAnd it was he, afterall,' Brian muitera.l=■ ‘ He fa here to sjilafter you, to take care of yon in Mr. SaltriB'a absence,’ said Dor cas. • Yes, that i»£.’™lHo fa exaeediijBy attentive,’ replied Brun, almost in hfaojld, dry tones. ‘ And you, who tyres doubted him soIona, Brian,’ a'ie continued, ‘ will do him justiea at the list, m I have done.’ Bripn muratirad something which the o| the aprm did not allow Doroasto Leg.

This is a matter that concerns every property holder, every business man, and every one inter ested fa the prosperity of the town. It is because I desire to avert this danger that I offer my services to the public at this junc ture. If Mr. Oliver is of greater service in this matler than I am, then elect him as your representative. Mr. Oliver, the last lime he occupied a seat in the Council, did ,uot show that ha had any vary great inter est in tho town. The only-action for which lyiou oan give him credit on that occasion was the submission of a lengthy resolution, proposing to sell tho park, which was lost, 'and with its rejection Mr. Oliver disappear- ed from tho Council. The Dunkin Act was being made a question at this election, but as that matter had been already finally set tled, be did not tee how it could have any bearing upon th* ■ present issue.

If, however this is to be.the test question, then Tam, willing to accept tho challenge. If you.ray let all other consideration* of trade ' be sacrificed and this should be tho test, than I will contest this election on that ground, but I say it is unjust to drag this question, which has already been settled, into such a contest as this.

Mr. Oliver, candidate for First Deputy Reeve—-This running for a municipal office is quite an old story to me, and I thought, IA rjrfould not be going to the Lak* Super ior region duHng the coming summer, and as I have been desired to accept a nomina tion, I would take a paoition in tho muni cipal council of your town and help to, gel itpniiff'tj** diteb into which it had fallen during tho past few years. I was not in favor of opposing Mr. Buclianan or taking the seat which ho held from him, as he had always been one of my staunchest friends, Lui I wak told thai'Mr.'Duchattan did not wish to run for office. I would have taken Ips uqjitiowe* the ward rathes- than opposedlULiogd. eCfurtwhit heard lost night there was great things to be done, ^ut he did not sea when retrenchment was to bo made. When wo hear Of 48,000 bor- jnattcig which require looking into, and if l syitem is pursued, next October more notes will havo to go into the bank. In regard to railway matters I will not say' any things-As Mr. Noxon is to bo iny op ponent I think it is unfortunate, and in order to avoid a contest which must noces- «w9y J»rM>n old food, I wfll propose to Mr. Noxon that we both retire from tho , cijnlot for.peputy.Reeve, taking oar places . tar18!* wgHa.and inyjte Mr. Buchanan to take his old place .' Mr. Noxon in old times would not meet mo in a proper spirit if l*rwill«oyr, but I make tho -A LpoS, and fiMmdoea iial accept^ it*41n I onon*j)f a contest is not with mo. I will jzo further—if Mr. Noxon will agree to take^AfaAofBUSC tilltMi^rihc shall take the seat I will abide th* decision, or if he will leave tho matter in tho hands of Messy*. Brotin'ahfi Ctaswelt, 1 "will agree to their decision as to who shall take thoflffiio." Tho ofltmeil u not mAvfcdhstitqttil ’ w m jfW fJ did my best , work -then wo had only five members in flA Cimucil, and the amount had to rata was only about 19,000, now it i> 322,008. There wm nothing very bright for tho fotore of Ingersoll. My taxes have increased from about 1100 to 9800, and yet .1 am told ihoongb tho press that I have no interest in the town. Deputy Boev*—Thanked the elector* for the nbmfuation*. •U ’eSbbstfiaired th* three ‘propoaftiofia war* not wad* with an *arnr rafale Meeting. DISCUSSION OF MUNICIPAL MATTERS. At the call of the Mayor, iu compliance with a numerously signed petition, a public meeting was hold in tho Town Hall on Thursday evening last, for the purpose of giving the members of the Council an op portunity to give an. account of their stew ardship. ,. On motion, Mr. Norris was called to tho chair. _ . Mayor McDonald was flic first speaker to address the meeting. He gave a ram bling and very incomplete statement of the Financial matters, but ns the year woe not closed, lib excused himself for notgiviag a more complete statement, because many of the accounts were yet open, and it would be impesaibU in their present state to give a moroaccurjjoaccount. ’ Hefaid that the Council of the pasl'kem bail rbeen B good one. Thera had been no hiding or twisU ing. They bad had hard work from the start. The first difficult was tho destruc tion of tho Market end Hall by fire by which they not only lost a large amount of rent and fee*, but were compelled to pay rent for other places to *upply/ its place. This was one great cause of the increase of tho taxes this year. Ho said that last year ho owed h» election in a great measure to tho cry which was raised about certain missing dobeatures, and his promise to un- earth tho mystery and bring them to light. He must confess that ho knew no more about them to-day than he did then, but he felt convimeed that if they wer* fa oxistetico they would be valueless to any one in whose possouion they might chance to be. ^o/ooijpon* of sueh drijantures had been presented as yet, and if they were it would be impossible, without the greatest negli gence,not to detect them. He had consent- ed to servo them kgafa, and if the elector* considered that he had served thorn well, he would asked tham /or their support, and if otherwise-ho "hoped they woulfilrestow their roles on a good man for Lis Ruaeessor. \ William*, Chairman of th* Finance <3fimmittee, was the next speaker. He gave a very careful resume of the expendi ture for the &3iLgpHig through the several department* giving item for item in each. Ha gftid the distribution of money for ward improvement*, *• «< present in vogue was not in accordance with Lis view*.
