Mormmi, Oct ^C, li76.. X fr i No-further developments of im- pottance respecting tlio Eastern question have transpired since our last SMie. One da} 'd news ihas an extremely warlike aspect, while on i the follow mg day we are almost led to behev e th.it the elements of dun ger have l>een nearly w iped oijit l>y a peaceful solution of the diflicul ties. And so it goes, .from day to day. Another Word m.bot nr Matl IlK \pt>roarhr>. i First impressions ot persons and places are generally permanent. Be tliey favorable or unfavorable is ci considerable importance. A stranger on tfrat setting foot in a village or town, usually makes a sieatal estimate of its inhabitants from the surroundings. If things appear neat and tidy1 w Hh evidence of thrift and prosperity, his first impressions are favourable, and he is more than likely to -eatiiuite ic eordmgh. TJut, if, ou theotlur HALTDN COUNTY COUNCIL The Comity Council met on Thursday, 12th inst. Present Messrs. Bailor, Clay, Clommits, McEaery, McGarvin, Young, Rob- rinsan, Ruiksey, B\ter, Warren, "Buck, Meiuiea. Wui-den in tlie chan. Minutes ofj last mooting read. ' The first matter utulor considera tion whs the bill of expenses in the suit against the II. Jk N. W. R,, uitmmiting in all to $370. Re ferred to-tinnnco committee. The next matter was the CV.H. debenturei. The Warden read cor- i-e.sjKmdtMice w hich had passed bu- tvveeu himself and the officers of the board, concerning the $75,000 iworth of dulx;utures gi-anted ly the county as a bonus to the Credit Valley Railway. He had received from the chairman of the Trust Fund a statement to the effect that the debentures realized 08,404, ', and that the whole of that amount , had Jbeen_iiaid out on the certificates , of the engineers and expended with fn the County of Hniton. , THE, OAOU { The Warden liud before the, Coun cil tlu report of Mr. Langinuir, In spector of As) hints and Gaols, which -we published'lust week. He dso submitted the following lettei received since, fiom the same gen tleman Tokovto, Oct. 0th, 1876. SlK, Refei ring to previbus com mimic itums 1 tind that pressing engageriitnti. will prevent my being pivstaifc at the .County Couucit on the-l?th nut. For the informa- I ] md, he finds obstacles in the shape of bad roadg, filthy streets, lion and guidance of the Council, I ill-kept walks, and a general ap pearance of slovenliness, he is at once thrown into bad humor and becomes deeply impressed With the eonYlction that the people, are not of a very desirable class to come in eoiitacfc with. This observation juay serve as a preface to a' few words we have to saiy, in addition to what wt, sjud last week,concern ing-our railway station and iu> ap proaches. K' _Jk stranger alighting at our station, is struck with the mis erable lack of accommodation af forded by the mean little building, and then looking around to find his way down town is obliged to make dibgent search before he can find an outlet through the laby rinth of obstructions. It he goes down the IracF he does o at the risk of being run over by a train, *r of falling into a cattle guard, or of being scalded by the escaping steam of an engine, or of getting drenched from the tank drippings, or of having to climb over or creep under a freight ttaiin, before he is able to reach the village sidewalk Bufc-if he jumps off at the end of tht- station platfbi m and passes through the narrow passage between the new tak and the water closet, he - may have to stumble over a pile of wood or' sticks of timber, climb ov er_a freight train standing on the switch __wade throngh Eeveeul hun dred yardVof mud,meander through n series of wood pries, and cross an open coBimoD, before reaching the sidewalk. By this time diis iui pressiops are formed, and it is beg, haw ever, to submit my \ie*vs ujwn the matter in question as follows :. ' " - 1st. The narrowness and fault) internal arrangements of the pres ent structure renders reconstruc lion undesirable if not impossible in compliance with the require ments of the Inspection Act.-' In addition, the charactet of the Igtrnc ture prevents classification of the (prisoners, the separation of the sexes, and affords means for com municating vv ith each other. 2d Only one yard is enclosed, and that is so irregular in shape as to be unsafe, and it is, beside, too small lor anything hot an airing jard foi female prisoners. Under -these circumstances, it seems to we that it would oe a wuste -of money to- attempt tjo re construct the present building, as it cannot be made, without radical changes, to comply with the hiw. I therefore recommend that a new gaol be erected providing the following accommodation : 1st Atostorey stone building, with coiridors running lengthwise, the cells *>eing back to back not less than 20 cells. 2d. A working yard for the male prisoners, and an airing yard for female ptisoners, to be enclosed Avith a stone wall not less than 19 feet high. The old building could be used for county offices.gaoler'a.ana tnrn- key'a rooms, and a prison kitcEian. and store room. t As soon as a special committee is appointed, I shall be prepared to 1 .1 M 1 very flattering ones The beautcf our v iH.ige is dimmed by the u^lvncss which meets his vision at - first sight. Our authorities are most hk^Iv to be blamed, while they aro reaily pwweilesa to remedy the mutter, owing to the neglect or .careless: ejj= on^tlje part of the rail jway managers, vfrho own the pi o pertv complaini-d of. 'When the difiiciiltus aie so great; in bioad daj light, how much moie so miist _they be in a daik night. Piequent accidents ha^e happened, and it is z wonder tbat they have noi been much inoro frequent, and of a. much more serious nature. We agaiu make an earnest appeal to the rail "way magnates to let us have a radical improvement in the means of getting to and from their station jn tins' village ; and if theyjeanuot afford to build a new station, at least let us have the old one en Jarged and remoddled. We ti u^t the appeal will not be in vain. If so, why then we suggest a luonster- petition in behalf of this long- sufiering comnwibitv. seaicelv to be presumed they are i confer with them as to the details " of this plan I hav e the honvri etc , ~ -J~*\\" Ljlsomdib, Inspector., Col. Clay thought the time had now artived when a new jail was necessary. It need not be an ex pensive one. It would be advis able^ to appoint a committee to con fer vvith Mr. L-mg-muir and settle upon some- plan upon which it should be consti u^ted. This coun ty had always borne a high charac ter for morality and the little crime .hat was committed in it. There was no doubt the railway in course of conhtruction would make a dif- feience in this lespect, and the Council would have to be governed by that fact. Iftv.Bnck'moved that the War den, Col. Clay; W. Clements, F. Barclay and J. Ii Barber^ bo a committee io confer with H "fHfig- muir re0arding the constiuction of a n". giol. Mi Voung suggested that the motion be amended so as not to commit the Council. Col. Clay said Mr. Langmuir, on behalf of the government would not be satisfied with patching. The work would have to be done thor oughly, if we were to bavo tho bene fit oftbe government grant. I Mr^Warren moved that tbp matj- ter lav~b&r until next meeting of Councfl. He said there was a doubt .whether we really needed a, newygaol or not. There might be additions made to the gaol. He did not think it was wise to make a gaol a desirable place of residence. Some people thought it the best Lome they bad ever lived in. Mr. Menzies aid not think a gaol was necessary at present. It might be desirable to make the ne ce8sary tepairs in the Registry Office. The county was m debt, and could npt afford at present to build an expensive gaol. j Mr. Clements thought it would be well to postpone the matter tp nexfr-saeeting of the Council. The estimates (oe the year were made, and if. anything was done in the matfer of a new gaol, new arrange ments for raising the money would .bo-necessary, _ Mr. Foster thought the Inspec tor ought to_be heaid by the Coun cil before anything was done. Mr. Young , moved that Mr. Langmuir be invited tp attend next meeting and address the Council. Col. Clay said the Council had The Governor General's Re turn. His Excellency the Governor- -General leturned to Ottawa on Monday. There was a large crowd ai the station. Alderman Lessuer, on behalf of the ' Corporation, read an address, testifying to the great pleasure the people of Ottawa felt at His Excellency's lecurn. Jrlis Excellency"imniediately replied in his usual happy style. He thanked the citizens of Ottawa very heartily fur the enthusiastic reception they Lad given, and for the kindly terma in which they bad"spoken in their address of him and Lady Dufferin He iefrredto his visit to British Col umbra and to the incidents of his sijoain at the Pacific, and express ed the hope Jh5t his expedition would not he avitbout effect in ameliorating the feelings that had unfort mately arisen in that section of the Dominion" in connection with the Pacific Riilw^iy. His Excel lency then referred to hia " visit to. tne Centennial Exhibition at Phila delphia, and expressed his high ad miration at what he had seen of it. He bpoke warmly of the snecess that had.been achieved by Canada .and other colonies, as wellas by the manufacturers of Great Britain and Ireland, ltt their competition, with other countries. i to comply with tho statute.- The I bBt courao would bo to nominate a ' committee to oonfor with Mr. Lang- imiir, and present a report, which tho Council was not bound to ac cept. Thia-wus a small county and did not heed a large gaol. A gaol mutable-fur all the put pose requir ed could, bo built for $8,000. The accommodation provided now wiw altogether too good. Tho gaol wuh not a tei ror to evil-doors. Mr. Young thought the cost would bo largo. It would have to bo made according to government plans, or the council would lose government aid. If the Council would bo willing to ramovo the county seat to tho town of Oakville, that municipality was prermred to build a gaol and court house ac cording to government plans, and buy the site and present the whole to tho county free of chargo. Tho amendment of Mr. Warren was ihon put and carried, and tho fui ther consideration of the matter postponed to next meeting of Coun cil, j TKACHERS CO.VV E.NTIOV. Mr Little, by permission, ad dressed the Council, and invited members to bo present at a moot ing of the Toachers' Association on tho 28th inst., whan the lion, the Minister of Education will be present. IT (t N. }VV. u. The Warden gave details of the suit oLWm. Y. Pettit and others i ^ corporation of the County of Hnltou and tho II. & tf. W. R. Co., in which the plea of the pltfis. is that the tho II. & K W. R. is not now the road that (he bonus was granted to ^hat its consolida tion wuh the H & L. E. R. an nulled the by law giving the bonus. The question to be considered was, w nether the pyimciL bhould. tlefend the suit or not. Mr. Faster could not see what the parties to the suit had to gain by making (he council defendants. As they had been dragged in, he thought the council ought to-defend itself. Mr. Ramsay said the council had always taken the position that the debentures would be given up w hen the road was made -and ought to be ready to fulfil their agreement; but the object of tho parties who brought forward this suit was to escape payment altogether. The question of costs ought to be consid ered before it Was decided to i ush into law. Mr. Warren thought the plain tiffs had a good ground of com plaint, The issue raised by them was that the company had broken faith with the people by amalga mating with another company. They were in tho right, and the council ought to do nothing to pre judice the case against them. The Warden^>aid notice had been served ujion him calling upon tho council, as one of the defendants, to appear, and the question was if this order was not complied with would the county have to pay costs 1 Mr Clay said that at the court which the council would have to attend on the 2Ith, he believed the pltfls would not be able to shovr any reason for hav mg served the , document on the Warden, which they have done. He had no hesi tation in stating thai when the road was completed to Georgetown the council would have to deliver the debentures, but he would oppose the delivery till that time He alfco said that if the pltfls, would succeed in relieving the county from then obligations to pay the bonus, he would not thiow cold water o, their efibrts. Mr. Young thought the council mustneceb>.ii uv become defendan He also appiovid of the actio; jtuken by W. Y. Pettit ct. a!.,'ai.il ithougLt the Council should assist Them. I Mr. Barber did not see how the Council could~ enter a defence and still side with the plaintiffs. By permission, Mr. Applebo ad dressed the Council m explanation of the action taken by the petition ers, stating tbat thb ratepayers who fyled the bill had no desne to place the Council in opposition to them selves. After considerable further dis cussion, Mr. Young moved, second ed by Mr. Foster, that tho Warden take such legal advice as may be deemed necessary to protect the interests of the county in the suit of W. Y. Pettit et. ul.\ vi. H W. Railway Company. Mr. Waldie strongly objected to taking the, responsibility of such a proceeding. Dr. Buck opposed the motion, and the matter was postponed till the evening session. bn motion of Mr. Young, sec- onlded by Mr. Robinson, it was re solved that the county grant to the Oakville Higjh School be supple mented by such additional sum as will make the whole amount $500 for the current; year. The Finance Committee present ed their report, recommending tbe payment of sundry accounts, total ing $285.24, which was adopted. EVENING SESSION. , Present Messrs. Buck, Clay, Clements, McGarvin, Menzies, Ramsay, Robinson, Wat son, Warren, and Young, There was a long discussion s to any action to be taken in the matter of the Pettit suit, but no definite action was decided on. i Mr, Warren, Chairman of the^ standing committee on Education, presented a proposed reporty which lie rad. - - I After discussion in committeo, ' parVof the people Mr Oloments moved, seconded by Dr. McGarvin, that .Messrs War ren, Ramsey, Young, Dr. Mc Garvin, and the mover, be a com mittee to consider tho objections to the working of the public school system, and that they report to this council to moiroW morning.

That tho standard of qualifications of thud alass teachers be made uniform throughout the province, and that such teachers bo not compelled to take up second class certificates. Your committee arriv o at this opinion from tho fact that many good teachers who are woll qualified to perform all tho duties required of them, and have given ovory satisfaction to trustees, rather than apply for second class cer tificates, jihoose to abandon the profes sion of teaching altogether, thus caus ing a constant influx of inexperienced teachers, and a continued exodus of good teachers, to the great injury of the ciuso of education. 3d.

On a division the vote stood thus h forming _ anew section we should have one more than that Distriol.

We have received a copy of the AlgomdT Pioneer of i the 29th ult., in which we find a leading article on the excellency of the public school system of Canada, referring more particularly to the special efforts that have been made to establish schools in that District, and the growing benefits arising theiefrom. Speaking, of the recent 1 visits of Mr. Little, of Acton, tbe ^Pioneer says : " Owing in some measuie to tho wide extent of country embraced in this .District, and its scattered population, we have been to the present time without a resident school inspector j but beyond this fact, we have no cause of com plaint, us the duties of that office are faifhfuliy perfoimed by Mr. Little, acting Public Public School Inspector for the County of Hal- ton, Parry Sound District, and Algoma District, who is now mak ing his second annual official visit to this District. *VVe can. only speak in terms of praise of his effi ciency and pnergy, in his desire to make himself fully acquainted with the wants of the people in this direction, and also his anxiety to grant every possible assistance to the feeblest effort put forth in any place by any of our people. With every settlement he appears to be fully acquainted, and if a neu clus for a new one has been formed in any direction, his first effort is to obtain all the information possi ble connected with it, and at the earliest | possible opportunity to visit tbe locality personally, and thus supply himself with all tbe facts connected with each separate school section, which can only be done by a personal visit. .He speaks very encouragingly of the educational progress of this Dis trict, and the reader will be able to draw his own conclusions after reading a record of the school sec tions formed fn the District in an other Column.
