Sept 29, 1871. NATIONAL PROGRESS: To a man who can east his glance back but a few years in the history of our country, what 'a ¢! a presents itself to his eye. Twenfy-five or thirty years ago, he who would make his way *westward frong Montreal, when the safer conrmuni catitn failed him, ned 40 step into 'one of >Weller's, sr someboly else's, lumbering stageconacnes, with & mxiderable resolution stampéd on bis evebrows.: He knew well that of such & trip eould be said as of the doctar's prescription : ** When taken to be 'well Bhaken 7 and he knew also that the | Jelding, thumping, bruising, rolling, cram- . ming and rattling his bores were about to | undergo woiild last, between Montreal and Toronto, at least .ond week. He knew | tlso that ona of the contingent duties of such a johrney would be the fishing, or rather, spearing, with will, the said coach and its less nimble occupants out of a few nud "sloughs of despond," in which op- eration he would be calléd upon to take a | part. "Many; many of the earlier Canadi- an. trayeleérs remember --and with pleasure too---tle incidents of such a jourhey ; the }okee, the exciting hair-breadth escapes, the life-long Hiding formed through accidental meetings on the > In those days we received our spring ugportations in upper Canada under a H * or 73 per cent duty, not earlier than the latter end of May in the frontier towns, - but' they did not rebch the remoter vil- lages until well on-in June. ~ We had no wrangewents T.ade with the Americans then to puss'goods through ici territory in bond. A few yeurs passed away, and we felt ourselves able to undertake the construction of the Grand Trunk Railway through the tuickly scttled sections vf the country, connecting together Montreal, at the head of navigation, and our princi- pal commercial centres to the 'west. This gigantic undértaking, with minor ones, brought our tariff up to between 15 and 20 r celit., and the country felt; and rightly elt, that it had done all that it wes in wisdom called upon to do for some years, with its limited resources. Now we are beginning to spread out branches throngh the most prosperous parts of our country, | and where such riilroads are most likely commercially to pay, as for instance the lines to Ottawa ; from Port Hope to Peter- boro, and throngh Lindsay to Beaverton and Orillia ; from Toronto, the Northern, Grey and Bruce, Nipissing, ete. All'these lines, without exception, hav en located by their projectors on the correct basis that the traffie-in'*heir rexpoctive localities would Fk yieldw fair return for the outlay. This is ihc correct policy for any country to pursue, and so long as we ad- here to it we shall prosper ; and on this principle we entirely apnrove of the Local Legislature granting aid judiciously to such roads as point to sections of country fit for setticifient, especially when it has such a large surplus at i's command as ve have in Ontarie. Our prosperity, notwithstindine 'drawbacks, nas been aliifet unexos for the last thirty years.

Are weabout to enter upon a downward \career! Are we about to squander our resources, which we-would not do for cur- sclves, upon other poople? We havelin- curred a debt of alont. £120,000,000 to improve our own condition from the long past to this day, but we are now asked to spend weil on to $200,000,000 on a single undertaking, chiefly for other people, --we mean, of course, the Puacife Railroad. We have built our own internal railways by offering so many thousand dollars por mile to any company who would advance their funds to build, and risk their remnnera- tiom from tke road paying. Our Govern-- ment have bound themselves to build a road within ten years whichawill double, if not treble, our national débt--a read in which we are but in a remote degree interested compara with our local roads ; a road to be built upon an opposite princi- ple to all the others, bacwuss we know it will not pay during the life of any living | man ; but worse than all, for people who | are not to Live even the right of way for "ie read 'we are to build for them.

Last week we gave an acdpunt of what | was to be seen within the '"fioral hall," at | the exhibition connected 'With the South | Untario Agricultural Soeiety, 'held in the | Town of Whitby, en Wednesday and | Thursday of last week. We will now refer | to the eld show, which was tlie best we | have ever attended of local nature. An | assortment. of excellent farm implements | ware placsd-in position at the entrance to | the field, and attracted a great deal of | deserved attention. | Messrs. Brown & Patterson, of Whitby, | showed one of their Cayuga Chief Jr. | Mowers--an itnplemeat which is regarded as the best of that class, aud this year carried off the highest honors. One of Johnston's self-rake reapers from the same | | establishment, likewise a Provincial first- | prize implement, was greatly admired. In | both of the above classes the establish- | ment of Brown and Patterson has succeed- | ed in outstripping all competitors at Fro- | vinéial matches. They likewise showed a fanning mill, straw gutters for eitherhand | ! or horse power,wood and iron beam plows, | gang plows, dc. "All of these itplements | were of the most improved" :inake, and | meet with ready sale asifast as manu- | factured. - ; Esterly's broadcast seeder and cultivator was exhibited by a local agent, and ap- peared to be exceedingly well adayted for | the purpose for which it is designed. | Very powerful straw cutters, and a grain | drill, from the manufactory of Messrs. | Maxwell & Whitelaw, Paris, underwent a | great deal of scruting, 'and appeared to | give satisfaction to the hundreds cf far- | mers who d'rected attention thereto. ! Mr. A. T. Button, of Uxbridge, showed | two fanning mills, two horse rakes,. and | two turnip slicers--all of which were well | made, and rauk among the best imple- | ments in their classes. | Mr. James Clayton, of Whitby, had on | exhibiuon a straw cutter, and likewisc a | mangle and clothes wringer--one of the most usoful articles that can be placed for | housshold use where there is a large | family. | Mr. James Walker, of Ashburn, showed | three of his justly celebrated " Dominion Plows." which are taking the lead in many sections of the Province. He like- | wise had on exhibition a novel implement | intended for digging and cleaning turnips | --a very novel contrivance which recaved a full share of attention, Mesars. J. Linton, Orone, and J. Clarke, Hampton, each showed one of their cele- | brated cultivators, which have a Provin- | cial as well as local celebrity. | A' strong 'and s&viceable set of iron | harrows were shown by Mr. W. B. Gower, | am. ' idge, of Oshawa, showed a véry ncat gle cattor, on which he obtained first p | Mr. J. Rica, of Whitby, had on exhibi: tion a pair of bob-sleighs, made entirely of iron. They looked, neat, and strong enough for any kind of work. dir. D. Bishop, agent for Messrs. Mec- Pherson, ~ Glasgow -& €o., of Fingal, »stera Untarie, showed one of the cele- ted thrashing machines trom the manu- | id fra, i3 a most secvica- | xa2at,anl is rapidly raising inthe n of the farming public. The is of the most improved kind and, wachine is fitted with all tha latest | weareats. Thore is bezides the ordin- ary attachments an, extra eylinler for tiosuughly separating the straw from the grain, and preve.tirg a great waste in this | respect. The farming apparatus is of the overshod discription, and does its work thoroughly. Altogether the machine is eonsidered an excellent one, and should be scen by those intending to purchase an article of that kind. 3 The chow of horses, cattle, sheep, swine, ; etc., was an extraordinary display --the fiaost local show we: have ever at- tended. To attempt an enumeration hore of the many fine animals would be out of the question, as we have not space therefor, and must therefore refer to the annexed | prize list. The names of those deserving! honorable mention will there be found. | The enterprise of several farmers in im- proving the class of horses, cattle and sheep 1s rapidly making itself felt, and very soon we shall have quite as good stock as is to be found across the ocean. By allowing competition from non- residents of the county, a much larger | number of animals are brought together, and rivalgigof a desired natare is 'the re- | sult, whicl} must ba productive of still greater berlefit to the country than has | yet been made ayperent. | The weather on Thursday being plea- sant, the attendance of! visitors was im- menso-- the leld during the afternoon | presenting the appearance of a Provincial | fair ground. The arrangements made for | exhibitors were excellent, and aided greatly in the succass of the exhibition. | On Wednesflay evening .in the drill | attraction and pleasure of the exhibition, | by a plentiful supply of choice music. | | PRIZE LIST.

W. H. Gibby, 8. M. Thomas, D. Holliday, Y. ak and'R. Campbell, were appointed a committee to nominate officers for the curceiit year. *The ¢ommittee reported the following: John Ratcliffe, President ; Robert Camp- bell, Vice President ; John Larke, Secre- tary ; Daniel Holliday, Treasurer; Exe- cutive Committees ; East Whitby, James Luke, James Burns; West Whitby, Hazard Wilcox, 8. M. Thomas ; Pickering, James Rogers, W. Gibson, Clarkson Rogers, Richard Wilson. The report was adopted. The President, Secretary and Treasurer were appointed & ittee to d the constitution, to report at next convention. The Treasurer, Mr. D. Holliday,. pre- sented his report. Your Treasurer has much pleasure in reporting that ne draugifts on your Trea- surer has been dishénoured during the past year, but while such being the case your Treasurer feels not so' able to meet demands 'on him as at this period last | year, there being at that time a ballance Tatting. --Ist, Mins Me Allison : 2nd, Miss' | ©Ver expenditures amounting to 82 01 in | the hatds of your Treasurer, whereas there | is at this time only in the hands of your | Treasurer the sum of §1 56 uncalled for. | Hoping the liberal contributions on this | occasion will be ample to meet all demands on your treasurer the forthcoming year. Convention adjourned to 10 a.m., next | morning. | Inthe evening a public imeeting was held in the body of the church. The Pre- | sident occupied th> chair. Addressess were delivered by Rev. Mr. Morrison, of | the M. E. Church, Myrtle, and Rev. W. | Scott, of Oshawa. Both were able ad- | dresses. = Rev. W. Scott dwelt upon the { claim that the children of right belonged to Christ. His speech was a forcible -ex- position and, was thoroughly appreciated. SECOND DAY. Convention resumed at 10 a.m. The President presented the report of the Visiting Committee. The committee appointed to secure a visitation of all the Sabbath Schools in the Riding beg to report : That after diligent inquiry and search they were unable to secure the services of | & competent person to visit the several { schools, and after--by circular to all the superintendents--inviting tem to a con- ference in to this matter, and seek- ing their council respecting the same, to | which, with only two exceptions, no re- | ® was made, your committee resolved | to do their best endeavour, to individually, . | or with such assistance as they could pro- cure, visit every Sabbath School in the | Riding. In order to secure this object, | the following division of the Riding was /{made: James Luke was assigned all that |portion lying south of the Kingston road, u the whole width of the Riding ; to | Danfél Holliday the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th | concessions ; to John Ratcliff the 5th and | 6th concessions ; to James Rogers the 7th concession and Whitevale schools; to Loren Foster the 8th and '9th concession. Your committee were everywhere wel- | comed with great cordiality, and answers | to any inquiries made with readiness, and | any remarks addressed either to the officers and teachers, or the genoral school, re- |Beived with kindness, and any suggestions | with thankfulness. With very few excep- tions your committee found the schoo's well organized, with libraries large and small, in a few pl the attend of | teachers not so regular as could be wished, | nor the countenance given by parents, so | great as the importance of the -work He- | mands, but as a rule Sabbath School work | is being diligently prosecuted, by an in- creasing number connected with the | various Churches, though there are still sections of the Riding where Sabbath { Schools might, in the opinion of your com- | mittee, be profitably established. Your committee noticed that there are still schools where the old practice of al- | lowing the childreri to handle all the books in the library, or tumble over a portion | that may be brought to them while in the | class, still prevails, to the manifest injury i-of the books, without being fully satisfac- | tory to the children.: In others an im- | proved method is adopted, where cata- whi of the volumes in the library are | furnished to each family, and after each | pupil has in the first instance been sup- | plied wtih a book, when a change is desi to be made, a sli i | reader and the No. of the volume desired, [ in placed in the volume returned, and the librarian, while the school is in progress, visits each class, carries off the Looks re- | turned, checks them off his list, and after | entering the No. of the volume asked for | on. the list and placing the slip with the | reader's name (Jipning the Moy car- | ries these round to the I, Sones, thus noilesaly, and without confusion, loss of | time or waste of books furnishing each | advantage that the parents may assist the'| children in the choice ¢f books, and thus exercise an oversight of the kind of litera- ture their children are perusing. The nuinber of schools visited were as follows : By James Luke, 4; Dr. Thorn- ton, 3 ; Daniel 'Holliday, 17; John Rat- &liffe, 7 ; Loren Foster, 8. Total number visited 39. Your committee while feeling the sacri- fice involved in ction with school with which they are individually indenti- fied, have had Much pleasure, and it is hoped profit too, in this work of faith and labour of love; and trust that the tions they have been 'able to offer in Toews visits, may ast be oy ishiaat their influence in promoting--by divine blessing--in creasing in the work of ning the youth of the. iding to a mdre inti- mate knowledge of the great principles. of our holy faith. . In conclusion your committee desire to advert to one or two things wherein th conceive improvement might be effected ; in some of schools no teach pupil with the volume required, with this lame. Mr. Holliday thought that Sunday Schools ought to be established 3rd and 4th con. of the Whitbys and Pick- ering. He mentioned Harmony, Max- well L Soruese, Rodan, Old Toll Gate, on the Whitby gravel rord and Bagotyille, as Proper 1 for Sunday Sch r. Luke thought that a School could not be sustained at Harmony, as the chil- dren attended Oshawa. | Dr. Thornton agreed in this, but be- lieved a School could be sustained at Max- wells corners. ; . Rev. Mr. Valentyne said the School had gone down at the Toll Gate for want of a Jroper superintendent. He hoped the ack would be supplied shortly, when he would es en recusitate it. Rev. Mr. Sanders said a School had been formed at Kedron since Mr. Holli- day's visit.

When a child re- turned a book, he placed in it a slip con- taining his name and the number: of the book yh wished to get.

This method sased confusion and wear 'and tear'of books. It also enabled a better choice'to be made, as the parents could assist the children in making it. The method was highly commended by several delegates. The report was-adbpted. Rev. W. Scott, Seconded by the Rev. Dr. Thornton, moved that the- thanks of the Convention be given to the Vimting Conrmittee for the Millgeiite in the perfor- mance of thejr duty and for their admira- ble report. Carried. Rev.

Dr. Thornton, moved that the Convention hereby reappoints the Visiting Committee of last session, with power to add to their number, and that they be requested to divide the Riding for visiting - purpokes in such manner as shall secure a friend! visitation of all the Sabbath Schoo within the jurisdiction of this Convention, and in all pro ways encou thy exisiiz 3x08 School work. ers, and w necessary = suggest establishment of new Schools. | - § A discussion arise as to the advisability of appointing a paid t.
