few years ww when unfortun- ately for the country the Hon. Alex. Mackenzie & Co., held the reins of 'power in this fair Dominion "amongst other extravagances they introdaced the luxury of a Military College at Kingston so that the ris- ing snobs who had no relish for that "plwasted" work might air their 'magnificoncios in the trappings and starch of carpet soldiers at the ox- ponse of the toiling ones. Tt was not expected that tho toilers, the . taxpayers would relish tho fraud and in order to induce tho oasily plastered, all-confiding taxpuyers Mr. Mackenzio tells -them the cost will be trifling, two or three thou- sand dollars a year; but what is the fact? this paste and buckram milit- ary affair is already costing the © taxpayers over a thousand dollars a week and the cost still increasing. -- There are now no fewer than cighty- five young men.in training for what ? for poising themselves on the backs of the already overburdened tax- payers and dazzling their "eyes with the glare and tinsel of military trappings. What do Canadians want with soldering? our industry secures us all the necessaries of life in abundance and we have no desire to steal from others, we know enough to keep a civil tongue and not get into unnecessary trouble, and should * any one scek {6 annoy us the fancy soldier is not the source to which wo should look for pro- tection, a like element which secur- cd the American independence could easily be called to protect it without the costly bauble of a useless milit- ary college. But neither Mr. "Mackenzie nor the other military college advocates expected the farce 'toend with the college, the burlesque would bo too transparent were it to 'end here, why withdraw a hundred young men from tho active and use- ¥ul walks of life and nurture them in the idle and useless pranks of 'soldering without even the shadow of being of any sorvice? the promoters of the college were 'not so ab solutely crazy they could not ex- pect that the organizing of tho college was to be the end of the fraud, the magnificent spectacle of a Can- adian standing army was looming tip before them and an under current 'Was sot agoing to bring about that object : and now the outcome of the plot is rapidly coming to the surface, The leading British aristocrats are working up the plot, Sir.

Tho Globe ne entered on 1g "Pity the Sorrows" strain. In his Friday issue, he says :-- Wher "The Supréme Court allowed Mr. appeal, and more than one of the judges the witness Hurd, on whose testimony the original judgment bad been based. Never was there a clearer case of acquittal, and had Mr, Wheler's appeal covered a claim to the seat which bad been declared vacant, there is good reason to believe that he would have secured it without a new election," We have not a word to say for or against Hard in the transaction, his evidence may have been true or it may have been false, we have no means of knowing, but we do know that the caterer of the Turd charges noted a base part in keeping tho only man (Mr. T. Paxton, M.P.P.) out of the box whose evidence could settle the matter one way or the other, Had Mr, Paxton been putin the box there'conld bave been no appeal; for bad Paxton's evidence corroborated that of McLellan and Wheler, thought of disqualifying Wheler, but had Paxton corroborated Hurd's evidence an appeal would have been useless. But the caterer was at his usual game of running with hare no Judge would have and hunting with the hounds, a mis- chievous course which never can result but in disgrace and confusion, The Globe should not crow too loudly over the fact that "" more than one of the judges used very strong language in characterizing the con- duct of Hurd," he (the Globe) is not ignorant of the fact that of the five Supreme Court Judges before whom the appeal was made throo were for granting the appeal and two were opposed to granting it.-- The Globe iz also awaro that all things being equal the opinion of three men must have greater weight than that of two, but all things are not always equal and consequently the opinion of thres men ought not always to tarry more weight than that of two, Tae Globe also assorts that "bad Mr. Wheler's appeal covered a claim to the seat, there is now good reason to believe that hewould have secur- ed it without a new election." The Globe is not quite so stupid as to suppose any thing of the sort, he knows, Mr. Wheler knows, and in fact every one knowing anything of the evidence knows that Hard's evidence had nothing to do with the unseating of Mr. Wholer, but the evi- dence which did unseat him was so direct and so firmly nailed that it could not be shaken, and the Globe people orany other party who as- sert (hat had Mr. Wheler applied for the seat he would have secured it, are puying a very left-handed com- pliment to the judgment of the three judges who sustained Mr. Wheler's appeal. Mr. Wheler has too much sense to make any such claim, he well knows that there were clearly brought out in evidenco at least two separate acts by agents, either of which was enough ard more than enough to void tho election, and for parties to insinuate that any set of such judges a miserable poor com- pliment, EE---- That Central Committee.

The Guelph Herald of last week handles them without gloves. He says :-- + The Mail and other journals are taking. up the hue and cry against the book thetts by which the compilars of the school man. uals of certain inspectors are disgracing the literature of the comntry. If puch books as those were not as bad as the basest piracy and the most abject ignor- ance of English grammar could make them if McClellan's algebra were not as incorrect as Hughes' grammer, their book compiling on the part of school inspectors would be none the less objectionable, for practically, the inspector bas the teather in his power, andethrough the teacher the public. The school manuals are changed ut very to procure new books at an expense which many of them are quite unable to meet.-- From this evil there is no appeal, except to the press, and the subject of education is one in which the presshas hitherto taken too little interest. Again and again have the independent organs of the teaching pro- fession complained of the systematic vieola- tion of their own rules carried on by the book-pirating inspectors of central com- mittee who seem to carry Mr. Crooks in their pocket. At present public attention seems to be waking up to the importance of the question, But the real point at issue is not the ignorant blundering of such men as school inspectors McClellan and Hughes. It goes without seeking that such offenders should be dismissed from the office of inspectors for which they are so manifestly unfit.; But no retorm can be adequate to cleans- ing what the Mail calls the' wgean stable of the Bducation Department, unless the Minster of Education, who is altogether-re. sponsible for all the evils and scandals which are disgracing it, be cashiered, Mr, Crooks has sacrificed the interests of edu- cation to the Grit vote."

A,, in the Town Hall here on the evening of Friday, 25th inst. ; The church had made arrangements fora pleasant strawberry festival followed by 8 public introduction of the people to their young minister. The ladies arranged the and the large numbers that partook of their hospitality went far to prove the hearty response made to the invitation. The after part was held in the body of the hall, Rev. Geo, Abbs, Ruling Elder of the district, brought the company to order by calling for the appointment of 8 chairman. Mr, Wm, Jones, of the firm of Jones Bros & Oo., was the unanimous choice and on tak- ing the chair introduced the second part in a brief but pointed and appropri On the platform were Rov'ds Geo, Abbs, of the M. E, chuech, Mr, Crozier, of -the Presbyterian church, Mr. Prosser, of the Baptist church, Mr, Pedley, preparing for ministry, and G. H. George, the newly ap- pointed pastor. Short addresses were were given by those on the platform in the course of which the most kindly and fraternul welcome was given to the young stranger «ll wishing him much comfort and tho highest degree of prosperity in his ministerial life, Rev. Mr. Geerge replied at some length, in a pleasant and interesting manner and made a highly favorable impression on those who heard him. The church choir did capital service on this occassion. This jsa good choir and contains some choice voices. An enjoyable and not unprofitable even- ing was spent and the principal aim of the church was fully realized a general and cordial welcome to thelr now pastor. After all the itenerant principle is not an unmixed ovil for through its working peri- odical infusions of new energies, fresh talent and unwearied zeal are imported into the soveral circuits, the churches are watered and refreshed and wert those circuits allow- ed to retain the old when they recelved the that is supposing they could be all maintained, the new the system would be perfect, demand increasing with sufficient rapidity We have often thought that the itunerant prin- ciple could be introduced with great advan- tage among newspaper men, providing that the entire pack had to shift around at the close of every year at least; such would prove highly convenient for the press gang and would be of incalculable advautage to the community at large, The only barrier to its complete success would be the fre. quent tearing assunder of dear loved ones, for the love and respect which newspaper men have for cach other are quite notorious, and frequent partings would break their tender hearts ; to remove one dear "brother" would be the death of the other, but such ought to bo po obstacle to the introduction and strictly carrying out of the principle. ret Sunday Bohogl Anniversary. The P. M. Sunday School, Manchester, held their anniversary for 1880 on Sabbath and Tuesday of the present week. The Sabbath service were held in the church and the Tuesday's services in the Town Hall. Two young ministers named Stillwell con- ducted the services on Sabbath gregations both morning and evening were The con- very good. On Tuesday the weather was maguificent and a grand muster was made of both young and old ; a fine array of tidy children brim- full of glee and countenances sparkling with intelligence added vastly to the attractions of the gathering. The Prospect Brass Band was engaged for the day and did capital scrvice, This is an excellent Baud, active, intelligent young men who make splendid music and they supply it liberally. A procession was form- ed at the Town Hall and headed by the Band marched round the centre block of the village, !a noblo army of the men and women of fifteen or twenty years bence.-- The ladies in the meantime were busy as bees preparing for and getting up tho tea.-- The worthy pastor Rev. Mr. Lee was active and vigilent, his very soul is in the good work. Me. Dobson, the worthy superin- tendent of the school and his efficient staff officers and teachers were at the. post of duty and we say post of honor. . The chair was taken at 3 p. m. after the opening prayer the exercises commenced, co sisting of readings, recitations, dialogues. addi vsses and musio. These were all in good taste and proved highly acceptable to the intollig: nt gathering; that veteran Sunda, Bchool advocate, J. :Squelcb, J Eaq., of Prince Albert, wa'§ amongst the speakers' and was 'most happy in his remarks. . Tea being ready the announcement was made and the tables were soon surrounded with an Interesting company and certainly the get up was all that could be desired. The Manchoster ladies know how to prepare a good tex and are no leas expert in serving it on the character of the entertainment. The|. Sunday School superintendent, officers and teachers deserve the thanks of all for the good work being carried on by them in the Sunday School. ------------ee The Country is Being Ruined.-- An application has been made to the Gov.

Sitting on the Commercial Traveler The Warden of the county of Simcoe has got fairly on the war path. In addressing the County Council at their late session his Wardenship delivered himself to the follow- ing effect. Gentlemen,--Your Clerk has brought under my notice the advisability of includ- ing in your by-law granting licenses to auctioneers, hawkers, and pedlars the name of commercial travelers, Thig branch of commerical itintcrancy is fast becoming a nuisance; and to their forced sales to country merchants many of the failures among that class may justly be attnbuted. It has been a question of doubt whether municipal bodies had the power of imposing a license on them, but your Clerk has shown me, thut the city of St.John, New Brunswick, has raised the license on such to $75 per annum, and a fine of $100 for any following the calling without such license." If the Conucil have not the power to pass by-laws for the regulating and licensing of this class of people, a memorial should be presented fo the Local Legislature, praying that such amendment may be made to the Municipal Acts us would empower Municipal Councils, to pass such By-laws, * -- Recuperation. On tho 20th of June, 1877, the city of Bt. John, New Brunswick, was devastated by fire, almost cleaned out. Since that time the work of building has gone bravely on so that witLin the three years just past no fewer than 3,340 new buildings have been erected, that is at the rate of 1,113 each year. Of the buildings erected 1,530 are dwellings, 718 are shopsand 1,100 are other kinds of build- ings. offices, churches, public buildings, &c. about two-thirds of the new buildings are of brick tho rest are frame. The aggregate cost of the structures is over $7,000,000.-- 'This is a noble record and goes far'to show the vitality and pluck of that distant capital. om ---------- --g------ The Montreal Witness says:--A case of «poisoning by Paris green occured at Chaud- iere street.
