On Thursday last the business of the Parliament was brought to a close with the usual pomp and cir- cumstance of such occasions. The measures of the closing Ses- sion may be classified as good, bad, and indifferent ; there wasa little of the first, much of the second, and the third took whatdid not Baong to the other two. The acts passed daring the session were much more numerous than useful. There were some ninety-eight Bills assented to on the day of proregation. Amongst the bad measures passed during the Session may be ranked the infamous attempt to destroy our School system and the future peace of the country by the encouragement of separate schools ; first, by that .silly palaver in passing a resolution _ beggiog the British authorities to wheedle the New Brunswick Legis- lature into the spoilation of their Public Schools by giving Separate - Schools to the maleontents to please them. We feel certain that the New Brunswickers are not in a mood to be dictated to in their School policy by any outsider however exalted, and it is morally certain that any inter- ference in that direction would be met with an emphatic No1 Again we find McKenzie & Co. in- sorting a clause authorizing Separate Schools in the bill for the Govern- ment of the NorthWest.

Marble And whether we look into the open grave or cast our eyes over the thickly scattered and rapidly in= creasing, glittering marble which keep watch and ward over the precious treasures deposited there, the same lesson is taught "Where you must shortly lie."

Some tell their story in poetry, some in prose, some speak of the dead, others to the living.-- Some relate the scenes of the closing history of their ward up till his feet are heard to plash in the dark river, then drop the curtain. them across the river and proclaim them safe within the pearly gutes.-- These marbles like so many flags of truce, proclaim eternal peace. 'Here servants, masters, small and great, Partake the same repose, And here in peace the ashes mix, Of those who once were foes," Ilere the wea: y are at nest. The Cemetery is cerlainly in bet- ter order than ever we remember Of course very much ought to be done to it mow to make it what it ought to be; there is a vast amount of rubbish which ought to be removed from amongst the pines,and proper walks ought to be laid out all round the It would be difficult to conceive of a more suitable place for a stroll on any day, it tends to smooth down the asperities of life and relax the iren grasp of busi- ness and money getting ; it r us of the shortness of time and the end of all our present pursuits.

The Arbitrator' 8 Award on the filo School _Sectidns. 0st8 Our readers will remember that three weeks ago we gave a report of adiscussion before the arbitrators on proposed changes of boundaries of Sciool Sections 6 and 7 and 10 and 11 After hearing the arguments for and against, the arbitrators retired to make out the award. The award is now in the hands of the township clerk." It contains three clauses the first sets out the boundaries of Sec tions Nov10 and 11 as follows. The change in these soctions amounts to this, that in place of be- ing divided north and south as fore merly they arenow divided length- way, east and west, No 11 extending south as far as the middle of the 6th concession. But we understand that since the arbitration No 11 has put in a demand tor the whole of the 6th concession and the Council is to take that into eansideration on Monday It so happens as the sections have been divided by the arbitrators that both School houses are in one sec- tion. the school house of No. 10 is now within the limits of No 11 so that as matters now stand Sec. 10 has not a school house to its mame and Sec. 11 has got two such as they are, Evidently things have got con- siderably mixed up in these two sec-- tions, : us-- Obelisk The second clause defines the boundaries between sections No 6 and 7 as follows This is simply taking Messrs ¥ and A. Graham's farms, i.e., 200 acres from sec. 6 and adding them to No lars and diminish the value of 8 by an equal amount. pense of the arbitration at $60 and amount. This is $30 for the Judge, Campbell. This may be said to be the penal clause fining all tions rumpus over their boundaries, and 7 demanded a slice off 6 and would not give the il time to 7. This may increase the value of 7 by some eight or ten thousand dol- The third elause plaees the ex- orders the township to pay the $10 to the Inspector and $20 to Mr. the School Sec- in Reach in the sum of $60 becanse sections 10.and 11 had a obvious to every one that thisis a piece of useless extravagance; why appoint the County Judge and School Inspector, could not there be scores of men got in every.

We are not finding fault with the Judge and Inspector for the charges they make, their time is valuable, they are al- ready paid pretty handsome salaries from the county and it is expected that their time shall be all employed in their official duties,and consequent ly it is a useless waste of time and money to drag them all over the country after every petty squabble between school sections.
