M, YARNOLD, 3 lerk. Port Perry, June lst, 1893. COURT OF REVISION. NTOTICE is hereby given that the' N x Ai A Radi should be writtén in letters of brass JORT PERRY AND CANNIEGPON diinial meeting of the School Téachers' Association for the County of Ontario. Buch a Host (over a hiindred) of active, ry; | intelligent young ladies and gentlemen, thoroughly trained instructors, would : | do honor to'aay tommunity while the toble profession in which they are en- gaged greatly emphasises their worth ,, | and 1mportance, - and all are gratified at their making this town their place of meeting. Few if any, now dispute the fact that in the matter of national importance the profession of school teacher occupies a prominent place in the front ranks of the professions. Much; very touch of the prosperity and greatiiéss of i tiation depend on the ubility, fidelity and tact of its staff of teachers, the school teachers of to-day are preparing the men and women of twenty years hence for running the nation morally, socially and intel lectually. "Just as the twig is bent the tree inclines." This proposition school room, and ly, physio: intellectually. Tt is not enough that a teacher should know what to teach, he should also khow how to teach, and here in lies much of the value and im- portance of school teachers conven- tions. At these gatherings the more experienced and expert members are seiected to exemplify their mode of teaching the various subjects taught at our public schools. It ix also necessary to success in teaching that the teacher be earnest in his work ; the teacher who grades his efforts by the amount of salary he receives 18 a fraud and un- worthy of the noble position of teacher. Teachers should have comfortable salaries, but the teacher who curtails + | his efforts in proportion as the crustees curtail his salary is a robber, the children have no control over the salary, then why should they be made to suffer if the teacher considers his salary too low. When a teacher accepts a charge he knows what salary he is to receive and no matter how small the salary may be he is in honor bound to exert himself to the very utmost to advance his school. When looking at the noble band of energetic young ladies and gentlemen in whose hands the education of the children of this fair county is coramitt ed we hope for good results and an- ticipate a bountiful yield of intellectunl fruit from their well directed efforts. May God speed the work and bless the efforts of our noble staff of teachers. rpm si Marsh Hill Creamery. Thanks to the prompt and well directed efforts of the promoters of the above enterprise it is now an accom- plished fact, and the Marsh Hill Oreamery will doubtless prove a valu- able and profitable institution in our midst, The Creamery is quite an institu- tion, the outfit costing over $3000. Mr, Tomlinson took a very active part in forwarding the scheme andl the | Creamery is located 'on his property. ¢ { The capacity of the Obeamery is 2000 Ibs of cream per day, already the cream from the milk of 500 cows has been guaranteed, Whe directorate are all enterprising, reliable men. viz :-- Andrew Horn and Geo. Asling, Saint- field ; Geo. Franklin, Greenbank ; Jus. Ward, Victoria Corners ; Robt. Stret- ton, Uxhridge, 1. J. Gould, Treasurer ; L. 8. Tom- linson, Secretary and Salesman. Ad- visory Board---Joseph Ward and Chas. | ould. Mr. McCallum, graduate of the Guelph Agricultural College, has got the appointment of Butter Maker.-- This judicious appointment gives full guarantee for the excellence of the output. Buyers will visit the establishment monthly and pay cash for the output, so that patrons will get returns month- ly. y It is expected that patrons will net 17 cts for the entire season's make. The cream being light and easily handled the territory may be widely extended. The Marsh Hill Creamery has set sail with a fair wind and bright pros- pects and we wish the enterprise abundant success, The Traveling Dairy. It would be difficult to conceive of a more important and valuable undertaking than that of the Traveling Dairy which now travels through this Province under the direction and fostering care of the Provin« cial Government who send experts in the various departments of dairy work round the country from time to time and by ap- pointment meet with farmers, their wives, sons, daughters and helps. Here the science and art of duir ing, as it should be known to all engaged Te work, are practically taught to all present by the several experts. The advantages derived from such instruc- tion cannot well be o estimated, and confined to the the | subjects ng Bros. »pur- all that were offered with the fer a . Lacrosse at Port Perry. Wednesday June Tth is looked for- ward to with tnuch ihiterést by all ad- mirers of the dianly gaine of Lacrosse, on that day our boys will oross sticks with the Whitby boys and an interest- ing match may be expected, This will be the second Scheduled game of the County League for the present season. The Olympic grounds on which the match will come off is a pleasant and suitable spot and doubtless a large gathering of ladies and gentlemen wlll witness the contest. On a Tour of Inspéction. The members of the Reach Council are out on their tour of inspection of the roadsand bridges of the munici- ality previous to their making grants or repairs where grants may be ne- cessary, By careful inspection they see where repairs are necessary and de- cide whether such repairs may not be made by statute labor, or if grants are necessary what suma will be necessary to make the repairs. By this means unnecessary grants are avoided and no more granted for any job than is necessary. Thus all parts of the township are fairly treated, the ronds and bridges maintained in a safe con- dition for a serious loss on Friday last in the death of his splendid imported Olydesdale stallion * Treasure," an animal mach admired by all who saw him and valued at a high figure. Mr. Graham has for a long titne occupied a foremost place amongst those who spend largely of both time and money with a view to bringing into this community the best bred and most valuable breed of horses. All regret when such wen sustain a loss in their worthy eftorts for the general good. A Welcome Visitor.--Many of our townspeople had the pleasure of a warm shake of the hand of Mr. Mc- Murtry, a gentleman well known and highly esteemed throughout this whole section of country. As an obliging and courteous manager of the Ontario Bank here he had lots of friends. He vow holds a highly responsible and lucrative position in connection with] the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Asso- ciation whose headquarters are in New York. Building Again.--The Bedford block so recently destroyed by fire is already being replaced, the contract has been given to Messrs, Pearson & Spence. The thoroughly established reputation of the contractors is such as to guarantee the excellence of the structure and its rapid completion.-- The site is a choice one and the build- ing will add to the beauty of the town. Celebrating the Queens Birth- day.--The township of Cartwright is consistently and'enthusiastically loyal and never fail in taking an intelligent and stalwart mode of displaying it. Their wagnificent and well directed celebration on Wednesday of last week did much credit to the heads and hearts of all concerned and only those present to witness the enthusiasm displayed Mesnob Ba, Minions, = banks of the Euphrates and educated in Constantinople, will deliver a lecture in the Baptist Church of this place, on Turkey, its manners oud customs, on Monday, June 5th, at 8 p.m. (and not Thursday as was first announced). The lecturer will appear in Turkish costume and sing several songs in his native language, He also exhibits some eastern curosities. All are ic- waited. Collections to aid the lecturer to do missionary work among his own people. < The, Rev. Mr. Hill attended tho meeting of the Provincial Executive of the 8. 8.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed, La Mr. Geo, Pettit, sr., presented a bill for timber, $5.88, for fixing culvert on CUentre rond near Post Office. Mr. Gerow came before the conncil, | he said he would like to have the privilege of performing all his statute labor in one beat instead of it bing di- vided as at present in two beats: Mr. Jas. Graham came before the council ; he said owing to the townline | hating been disposed of there was no prospects of another road being opyn- ed in lieu of it, so that parties will! have to travel or attempt to travel the PinePoint road which is far fiou g of sufficient width aud in the winte time it was blocked with snow a great portion of the time and had to Le abandoned and the fighls of a number ot farms had to be used for travel or truffic had to be suspended ; besides he considered it far from beneficial to the owners of these properties to be thus imposed on ; the road should be ope! ed to the proper width or closed alto- gether and' another one the statutory width opened. When the snow disap- peared they were shut out of the and the road for som time was to travel ; it answered all right for summer road but in winter and spring it was generally in'a depl state. Mr. Abram Bolton came bef amount he receives for assessing; he had also to supply a book for this put: fi pose.

On motion of Mr Dunn, the reeve was instructed to notify the parties in possession of the road allowance known as the 8th con. line, from the Centre road west to the lake ; that application will be made to pass a By-law to open the same at the next meeting of Council, as a public highway, Re The Audi now taken, and read was adopted and the Treas urer's accounts were allowed.

On motion of Mr. Hope, Mr. Dunn and the mover were appointed a com- mittee to sell the unused portion of the road allowance adjoining the Cart- al of this Council. On motion of Mr. Rodman, the council adjourned till the lastSaturday in August. Mechanics' Institute. The Directors of the Mechanics' Institute find it neeessary to appeal to the public for assistance to enable them to keep the In- stitute open without incurring debt or drawing on their future income, The pros: pects before us are good, far better thun they promised at first, or than we had any right to expect. The authorities have been ve enerous with us, having overlooked our ormer failures/bat in view of themanuer we treated them in the past, we may expect them to be very strict, and to require us to keep close to the letter of the law, We must thercfore be reatly, at avy time the Inspector may visit us, to shew him that we rest on a good financial basis, otherwise we need not expect the Department to spend any more money on a Mechanics' Institute in this village. : A plain statement of our position will shew the vecd of further help. Through the liberality of those, who have ro gener- ously responded to the appeals made to them, we have been enabled to fit up a Reading Room, supply it with reading matter, and spend about $150 in the pur- chase of books for a Library, bessides pay- time. But our funds are exhausted, and the Institute most be kept open until the end of the year before we cafi expect to receive any considerable addition to our resources from vetiewal of stbscriptions. Our help have been in existence fou three months out of th , which enfled an the 30th . We must therefor depend mainly our own resources for another year, after which we may hope for substantia} aid from the (iovernment. So long as we are able to eatisfy the authorities that we have con- formed to the requirements of the law, we shall receive annually a grant of $150 for the purchase of books for the Library, §60 for literature for the Reading Room, and $350 for membership, which may be applied towards current expenses. But iu order that we may hope to enjoy these benefits in the future, we must for the present exert ourselves to fulfil the requirements of the law, aod to keep the Institute free from debt. We do not propose to trespass on the patience and good-will of those, who have #0 generously assisted us hitherto, by mak. ing another - personal appeal to them, but we hope to be ahlé to raise the necessary amount by means of entertainments, and solicit the ze lous ce-cperation and patron. age of all, who are interested in the success of the Institute. We would impress upon you, that it ie to our intervst to make a special effort at the present time, as the (lovernment gives us dollar for dotlar on What we spend on the Library and Reading Room up to the dmounts mamed above, so that whatever we fall short will be deducted from our annual grants.

The attendance was unusually large, 80 large in fact, that ati adjournment had to bo made to the Town Hall to find acccommoda- tion, a THURSDAY'S SESSION. At 1.80 p.m., President Park, Head Master of Uxhridge High School, took the chair and called the meeting to order. In the absence of the Secretary, Mr. A. (i. Henderson of the Whitby Collegiate Insti- tute read the minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed. Mr. Gale; of Whitby, stibmitted the Auditors' report, showing a balance to the credit of the Association of §111. Mr. John Graham was intrcduced to the Association aud read a valuable paper on GEOGRAPHY. Mr. Graham took up the synthetic and the analytic method and fully disvhssed their respective values. He advocated the following of the synthetic method with primury classes, and the analytic as the pupil advaneed to the higher grades. He recommended "Topical teaching" thereb; leading the pupils to consult books of ref- erence. A list of topics should be carcfally arranged for each grade at the beginbing of each term and closely followed. The con- versational method he found most advan- tageous and would strongly recommended it to the Association. His paper was heartily received by the teachers. Mr. Chapple of Usbridge, was td address the Association on the subject of *'What qualifications should be considered in em- ploying a Teacher", but owing to the severe illucas of his father he was unable to at- tend. His le rets did uot rea 3 = fai e meeting on the subject of SPECIAL DAY RXERCTSES Mr. Henderson's wide experience in this of school work being generally known, somethin beyond the ordinary was looked Er, por wero tho teachers doomed to disappointment. Man special days were mentioned of whic teachers shotild take note as the year rolled round, but there were #hout a dozen, for the celebration of which spedial effort should be put forth. The speaker was thoroughly practical in his remarks and showed how deeply interesting programmes for various days grow. directly out of the every-day work of the school. He gave extensive programmes for the following days, vi Authors' Day, Mothers' Day, Patriots' Day; 8t. Valentine's, St. Patrick's, St. Georga's and 8t. Andrew's Days, Drawing and Penmanship Day, Thanksgiving Day and Arbor Day. Mr. Henderson's address was humorous as well as instructive and cannot fuil to bear much good fruit. VOCAL EXPRESSION.

For fully ote hour and a quarter the speaker Lield the undivided attention of his iutellizent audience, and many valuable hints and suggestions were noted down for future reference, Evexine Session. In the evening the Town Hall was com fortably filled when President Park stepped to the front of the platform and introduced Professor Brown. The professor said that having addressed the teachers in the after- noon on the Science of Expression he would now give them some of the Art, and forth- with proceeded . to read selections from Sheakspeare. Without the slightest inter- iniseion the professor gave a succession of readings fiom a variety of authors that fully demonstrated the versatility of his powers. A sudden transition from the grave to the gay, from the sublime to the ridiculous is a severe test of the pcwers of our elocutionist and many of the andiehee expressed surprise that, apparently, no pro- vision had been made to give the Professor a moment's relicf from his ardious task, we wate owrselves surprised that the platform war uot occupied by representative educa- tionalists ang publi men of the village. y Fripav's Sgssion, President Park took the chair at 9 a.m. add, and took up the subject of WRITING. SiN By a free use of the blackboard Mr, Ward fully exemplified his method of teaching a subject which, judging from results; is either difficult to teach or receives very little attention at the hands of a majority of teachers. Mr. Ward's address should lead to better results, ELECTION OF OFFICERS followed Mr Ward's paper on writing and resulted as follews : President--Mr. John Gale, Whithy.

The afternoon wus given up fo the ques- tion of DISCIPLINE, upon which subject a valuable paper was read by Mr. GG row of Pickering. The Association adjourned after passing vote of thanks to the Council ard School Board of Port Perry for the accommodation afford. d during the sessions, to meet at Ux- bridge at the call of the Managing Com- mittee. Much regret was expressed at the nn- avoidable absence of Inspector McBrien who was called away through the serious illness of Dr. McBrien, Niagara. -- Mount Carmel Sabbath School An- niversary.-- The Amiversary Services of the ii (ly Carmel Sabbath School will (D.V.) be held on Sunday and Monday, June 4 and 5.

Canada was represented by Mr. J. 8. Larke, Dominion Executiv Commissioner, and Mr. A. F. Pirie, president of the Canadian Press As- sociation. At the opéniog session mn the evening » number of addresses were delivered, and Commissioner Larke spoke as follows on behalf of Canada. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentle men : The history of Ounads was writ- ten in its newspapers and by its news- papers. It is a country peculiar in this, that it scarcely has hud a rebel- lion and never # révolution, Ever since the country oarhe into the posses- sion of Great Britain, with the excep- tion of once or twice, being some little affuirs in which our country was inter- ested, Mr. President, we have been without troubles. We have fought our battles as Oliristian and civilized natioits aught to do, through the press of the country. (Applause.) The history of the Oanandiin press is ex- ceedingly interesting, but this is not the time to give it. Let me just say, good thi © 0 of a fi y ' Oanatn was printed in Halifax, and Halifax was a city made to order. As it is told 'in its history, & colony came oat from 'England full-fledged; they brought butchers and bakers to feed themy tailors to clothe them, ministers to administer to their spiritual wants, police and soldiers tc protect tliem, and the only thing they forgot was the only thing they ought not to have forgotten, and that was the printer. They had the grace, however, still to discover the want, and they borrowed it as people in this country borrow culture, from Boston: (Applause.) Benjamin Green, the grandson of the first printer upon this continent, and the son of the pub- lisher of the first newspaper of this continent, was the publisher of the first newspaper in Canada. Almost all the newspapers in Canada were started, not upon a commercial bassis, but either to push a theory or to support a policy, and that makes it sometimes narrow and partisan, but it makes carnest and houest advocates, and that is the characteristic feature of the newspapers of Canada ; they are owned and published by honest men: They may be mistaken, they sometimes are narrow, but on the whole, bLemng entnest and libhest, the people have faith in them, and in the end they get righti" Sach men coming into 2ollision sometimes with government, sometimes with chtirch, and sometimes with the mob, and sometimes with all three to- gether, the natural result follows, per- secuted and prosecuted, fined, im- prisoned by governments, denotinced hy the church, mobbed Ly the mass; still their souls have beon undaunted and their exertions have not ceased, and the Canadd we have to-day is the cause of the great men that have hoom- ed and published the newspapers of the country, At the conclusion of his address Mr, Larke was loudly applauded: a i meni My. Claficy's Parting Salute to the Government. Mr. Olancy on Friday evening in reviewing the legislation of Sir Oliver's Government during tho sesso whi ft closed last week said he would only de- tain the House a very few minutes, but he did not think it wise to let the amendment go to vote without at least having something to say in reply to the remarks made by the Provincial Secretary on the previous day. That hon. gentleman was good enough to gratuitously tender a lecture to certain members of the Pullic Accounts Com- mittee, and took it upon himself, to direct what proceedings should be fol- lowed, beenuse as he said the examina- tions that had taken place, and the lubor that had been expended in the Public Accounts Committee had been # waste of tine, seeing that nothing was, arrived at. Heé (Mr. Clancy) thought he should Le able very speedi- ly to show the Provincial Scoretary was not strongly impressed with" that view, because after a number of ex- aoiiuations lind heen conducted in the committee the Minister felt it his duty to adopt a rather extraordinary course for a gentleman occupying his position, and that was to come before the com- mittee and present a long statemer t in defence of himself. (Hear, hear ) The defence was given in respect of chinrges made. in the indirect sense that they were extracted during examinations before thecommittee. The hon. gentle. man came with a long statement, and had it Bled for the purpose of loading up the journals of the province, in order to let the people see what he had to say ag regarded his own department, The question upon which the Provincial Secretary had laid most stress was that relating to the appointment of Noxon to: be what was pled 28 entirely t to that represented: So far as 'his own statement was con- cerned, Mr. Noxon was appeinted in the dual capacity of a sort of inspector in one sense, and in the other as a kind of manager. In regard to tlre latter position there was the most direct testi- wony from Warden Massie, who had for so long been at the head of the Oentral prison, and had been at least trusted by the Government for many years, that Mr. Noxon was not requir- ed at the prison ; that Mr. Massie was able to do all the work that devolved upon him ; that if he did need any help it wns only to perform clerical work and correspondence, and that his duties in the management of the prison 'had not increased, To show that his statement of the facts was not too broad Mr. ©Olancy quoted from the evidence given by Warden Massie, which fully bore out his observations. That was the statement, he went on to say, of a gentieman who was fully con- versant with all the details of the work at the prison. Moreover Warden the bLrickmaking formerly carried on at the prison had censed, and therefore he was quite able to discharge all the duties connected with the management. less or inferior sced, Reliable urdy' : Sovtrrr.--In Peterboro, on the 2ith ult., Mr. William Sollott, aged 7 years, and § months. other words, that gentleman was to selves. (Applause) | ds : could be hore: coudemnatory of the ap % pointment of Mr. Noxon than (Hear, hear.) . Mr, Noxon, after giving his ar? dled the written state- ment giving the reasous for his ap- pointment. There had been a succes- sion of statements presented during the present session. (Laugier) >. to Noxon had declared that he look after the. machinery at the the purchase of materials and of goods produced ; in fact to everything contietted with the Central prison. When asked who was to in spect his didnagement Mr. Noxon stat- ed that he had to do that himself. In be the manager and inspector of the prison, Provincial Secretary propose to recon: cile that anomalous condition of things 1 (Hear, hear.) ere were other pres tended duties--because they could not be any other than pretended-- which Mr. Noxon had to look after. Mr, Noxon was to go about to the various institutions, making visits in conjunc: tion with the other inspectors. Fer what purpose! To see how the tabld ies | over the same ground. In order no to find an excuse for the appointment it was said that Mr. Noxon was sup- posed to visit the public institutions and examine into matters relating to the dietary. (Laughter.) Could the Government give any reason why this gentleman should visit the institutions in the small capacity proposed, whilst Inspectors Chamberlain and Christie appeared there at the same time to deal with othék business! (Applause.} The thing was so apparent that it re- quired no answer. Dr. Clark, super: intendent of Toronto Asylum, also filed a-statement with the committee, Hé desired to explain what he (Mr: Olancy) considered had been clearly proven hy the evidence given to be ex- travagance, and which even Mr. Noxon himself had pronounced to be "unbusis nesslike." Dr. Clark said the charges against him were not fairly made j that visitors and convalescent patients dined with his family and himself, and that at least one-third of the supplies consumed at the asylum did not go td his owii fathily. When asked, how- ever if he kept any data with respect to the supplies consumed, Dr. Clark frankly admitted that he kept no re: cord. Such evidence therefore, coming from a gentleman in his position, must be token for precisely what it was worth, But there were other state- ments made to the committee. (Laughter.) Mr. Ross, accountant of the Crown Lands Department, pro- duced a statement; following evidence which showed the slipshod--nay care- less and almost criminal--manner in which the affairs of the largest spend ng departeent in the province werd carried on. (Applause.) No person who nade even the most careless ex: amination of the accounts of that de: partment could come to any other con~ clusion than that they had been kept i a manner that deserved the severest condemnation" of both sides of the House. (Applause) All the accounts for expenditare on colonization roadd passed into the hands of Mr. Smith, the superintendent, who certified to' their correctness and then issued re- quisitions for their payment to the ac countant, by whom they were forward- ed to the Treasury Department for payment, Mr, Smith was first called to reconcile the discrepancies in the accounts, but he had no notion of book~ keeping and was unable to state any+ thing definite, although he had made the written entries ; neither could Mr; Sproule, the auditor of the province, furnish any explanation. Then Mr, Ross, accountant of the Orown Lands Department, who was not ordered as a witness to attend, turned op in a most «unexpected manner with a loug statement purpofiirg to reconcile "ap- parent discrepancies bet ween the Public Accounts and the 'Commissioner of Orown Land's report for the years 1872, to 1892, inclusive, Mr. Clancy went on to show how the statement in ques= tion was incorrect in several particu- las, thus enabling the gentleman who prepared it to arrive at the result so loudly boasted of by the Commissioner of Crown Lands that there was a dis- crepancy of only two cents, He (Mr. Clancy) could use no stronger term than to say that the statement wag wholly and utterly worthless. (Ap- plavse.} Mr. Ross, when asked, swore that the statement was correct. One example of its correctness might be given. In the statement the sum of £122,974 appenred as expenditure in 1887, whilst in the Crown Lands re- port the amount appearing was $124.2 709. The differance of £1,734 was ex- plnined to be a refund which was to Le put in to make the accounts balance. Thus the gross sum ap deducting the $1,700. Other evidence was given, showing that it 0 a deplora aos," LADD ne.) ing 1883, and he thought 1884, not a single account in an expenditure amounting to eomething like $100,000, appeared in the books kept by the superintendent of colonization roads. Jn order to find the records a search would have to be instituted in the pigeon holes of the department. There waa not even an attempt made at balancing the books, let alone a single entry, ns against that enormous expen- diture, (Applause) Under these cir- cumstances, when hon, gentleten undertook the responsibility of making out that the Public Accounts Com mittee had been wasting time, that they had been searching for irregu'ar- ities when none existed, they made a maintained that the grossest irregular- ities had been shown to exist in the keeping of the books, and it had been found impossible with all the exertions of the various officials to reconcile the discrepancies that had been discovered.
