On Monday morning last. a number of bills signed by the rccvc and calling a public meeting at 8 o'clock in the cvcning were posted throughout the vil- lage; and a large attendance was rc- qucstcd, as matters of importance were to be laid bcforc the meeting. Some fault was found with tho shortness of the notice, which we attribute to the kind consideration of the rccvc; for so great was the anxiety of the ratepayers to know what. was in store for them, that their health might have been in- juriously alfcctcd had they been subject- ed to that. anxiety for any lengthened period. At. the hour appointed there were very few persons in Scully’s ball, but they soon began to drop in pretty rapidly by twos and thrccs, and in u abort. time a rather largo audience had assembled. Mr. Greene, upon taking the floor, made a few remarks with rcfcrcucc to municipal matters, audnnfter (lcploring the strong opposition which existed be- tween the supporters of himself and Mr. Dickson, statcd that his oijct in call- in;_' the meeting was to propose that he and Mr. Dickson Ehould both stand a- i-‘idc and permit some one else to be elected to the rccvcship. Mr. Dickson said that he did not. know, until he saw the bills in the lore- uoou, that. a public meeting was in con- templation, and had received no inform- ation at all as to its object. He did not feel inclined to agree to accede, at. such short notice, to Mr. Greene’s invi- tation to step down and out, but meant to take the popular feeling on the 2nd of January. Ilc thought it rather rich that Mr. Grccnc should want. to retire lifter being more for only one year. Mr. Thomas Lockhart thought. Mr. Dickson’s course improper and approv- cd of that of tho rccvc. The people had become so interested in the rccvc- ship that. they had grown comparatively indifferent us to the councillors they 0- lcclcd, and the consequence was that they had become involved in lawsuits, and would have many hundreds of dol- lars to pay in costs. It was an insult to any man to clcct him more and then put. a bad council in with him. He thought. both the present move and the cx~rccvc should be got rid of, and men of ability and heavy ratepayers should bc chosen as councillors. Mr. Robson (Councillor) denied that work would be brni‘cu up. Mr. George Kcith, who was called upon by the rccvc, made u very good speech and was frequently applauded. In the course of it he dcfcndcd the 'ouncil suit against the Victoria llail- wuy Company, which he said had been in compliance with the was the duty of public bodies, as well as of private individuals, to stand up for their rights rcgardlcss of coosc~ qucnccs. and if the ratepayers did not wish tho council to go to law they should hold a public meeting and re quest them not to do so. After calling attention to the fact that the people ap- peared to be forgetting the school board, which had the control of far more mou- cy than tho wuuoil, Mr. Keith cloned by advising that the meeting should be adjourned until another evening, when a full dixcucicu of public ufl'airs could take place. Mr. Dickson said that the people wanted an action brought against the railway company for putting a station between here and Lindsay, but the McDonnell: lilock, Kentlcouucil would not comply with their; thn‘c wish as it was certain that they would bourhood, , carried over a pail of water and extin- -' .‘lr.

Tn , answer to a question from Mr. Dr, G.l Smith, Mr. Lockhart. aid that Mr. Dickson was responsible for the second lawsuit, whereupon u squabble arose between the speaker and Mr. Smith. Mr. E. Fitzgerald (councillor) gave , a lucid explanation of the rise and pro- 3.,1'058 of the suit against the Victoria _â€"»-.-â€"- Railway Company, and appeared to Wednesday morning a young woman convince the audience that the priscnt council, at. any rate, were not. to blame for the costs that. had been incurred. After some more remarks from Messrs. Greene and Dickson, it was Moved by Mr. Keith, seconded by Mr. Junkin, That the meeting do now adjourn until next. Monday evening, in order that all matters of interest to the ratepayers may be discussed in full. .‘I r. Greene, Mr. Lockbart and one or two others wished to have candidates for municipal honours “ nominated " on the spot; but after a discussion in which Mr. John Nugent nod Councillor Deymnu, as well us all the above-named speakers took part, a compromise was effected and “suggestions " were made as follows: That Edward Fitzgerald, Wm. Dcyumu, H. W. Greene and Jan. Dickson be candidates for the rccvcship, and that. John Thomson, F. Sandford, S. Sivaoton, Wm. Robson, Joseph Mc- Farland, G. II. Mitchell, D. G. Smith, George Keith, John Jarvis and William Campbell be candidates for the council, for the year 1882. Mr. Keith's motion was then-put and carried, after which the meeting adjourned. There will, therefore, be another meeting on Monday evening next, and all the ratepayers ought to be present, as it will no doubt be well worth attend- ing, and it. will be impossible for us to give anything like a full report of thc procwdinga. m Hymeneal. - On Tuesday morning last, in one of. the parlours of the McArthur House, Mr. George Bickle, of Cobourg, was married to Matilda, eldest daughter of M r. E. Pauwcls, tho genial proprietor of the hoth in which the ceremony took place. The marriage was performed by the Rev. Mr. Logan, Rector of St. James’s church, Fcuclon Falls. Among the invited guests present we observed a large number offricuds from Cohourg, Peter-borough and New York city, and among the guests from the village were Dr. Bryson, A. A. McDonald, Mr. & Mrs. John A. Ellis, Mr. & Mrs. Joseph McArthur, Mr. & Mrs. Ncsbitt, Mr. Wcstcotr, Mr. Tate, Mr. Jarvis, Mr. Brandon and Mr. Scully. At the con- clusion of the ceremony the bride and groom, together with all the guests pres- ent, proceeded to the spacious dining hall, where ample justice was done to a most sumptuous breakfast. The young couple, bearing with them the best. \vish- rs of all, took their departure on 'thc morning train for an extended tour. The wedding prcscuts were numerous and costlyâ€"Com. wfl Cums‘ruas Tunaâ€"We arc request- ed to state that.

TAXESrâ€"l‘ll'. J. J. Power, our ro- ccntly appointed collector, has commenc- ed his rounds, and we observe a look of exasperation on the countenanccs of the unhappy recipients of his little slips. We haven't been presented with ours! yet. but have no doubt that. it. will be pcrfcctly awful. Rumour says that the l taxes must bo paid “right off," butl some of the indignant ratepayers dc- clarc they will be daynamitcd if they will pay before January or February, as usual. We hope the trustees, whose goings-on have rendered the demand for money so urgent. will kindly lend us , the amount required to square up with the collector; otherwise we shall have to borrow it somewhere else or beg off for a while. Ax Aunu or Finnâ€"Under the l stairs which lead from tho ground floor to the upper story of the school house in this village is a cupboard in which a broom, fire-shovel, ash-kettle and other articles are kept, and one morning last.‘ week who the caretaker-'3 sou openedl the said closet he found that it was full of smoke and that the floor was burn- ing. He instantly rushed out of doors l and shouted " ï¬re," which brought out ; or four residents of the neigh- ‘, one of whom, Mr. Moore, l uhni. 3;: i2 .iiltutiy 1.3.1 two :mcul-' .__» wrong in stating that nine-tenths of thel deï¬ng for many hoursgan‘ come of the from them at. their prim, instead 0! children xay'tlrey smelt it the previous, day.

Gorxo run Wuoxo‘ Wynâ€"Last boarded the northward bound train at Cameron, and when, a few minutes later, the conductor went to collect her fare, he found that she wanted to go to Lindsay. He told her she was going the wrong way, as the train was pro- ceeding towards Feuelon Falls, where- upon she' asked whether she could not take a 'bus from the Falls 00 Lindsay. The reply being in the negative, the only thing she could do was to walk back to Cameron, 3 distance of about two miles, and the truiu was brouflht to a stand-still while she got. off. I‘t'is astonishing how many- such mistakes are made on every line of railway in the course of‘a your.

Mr. lIuw went. to soc what. was the matter, and found two hcus tied by the logs and tethered to a tree. How they mum to be in such a “ fix " is of course a mystery; but the supposition is that they had been stolen, and that the thief for some reason left. them where they were found. Mr. llaw took the hens honic in a bag which be procured for the purpose, and is willing to return them to the person. they belong to upon his or her furnish- ing reasonable proof of oivocrship. Too Banâ€"Mr, Thomas Johnston, of Fenclon, who intends to move into a house which he owns just. outside the village limits, visited it on Tuesday to ascertain its condition, and found it. in a state of dilapidiition whichcxcitcd his just. indignation. Nof‘ouly had every pane of glass disuppearcd,~but. manycf the window sashes had been broken; nor was this all, for the door and part of the flooring of the stable had been stolen and about. half the fence around the lot. carried off, in consequence of which cattle had got. in and badly dum- ugcd the trees. Mr. Johnson was out- urally very angry, and expressed a dc- tcrmiuatiou to find out; and punish the perpetrators of the above nicntioncd acts of violence and dishonesty if be possibly could; 'but we fancy he will ï¬nd it extremely difficult to do so. Raids upon isolated houses are 30 com- mon in this village that. it pays better to let. tenants occupy them froc of rent than to leave them empty and unpro~ tcctcd. A Tough Story. The Benton, Montana Record is re- sponsiblc for the following rather tall story :â€"“ The agency farm on Pinchcr Crcck, about thirty miles above Fort McLeod, belonging to the Mounted l’o- lice force, has suffered u severe loss of late from a totally unlocked for sourcc. The crop of cats had been harvested and the grain was in the shock when the late storm came on and prevented iLs being housed. During the storm wild geese in unheard of numbers visited. the farm and devoured the grain, cut.- ing even the straw. The men in charge of the form, twelve in number, were or- dered out. to stand the goose off, but were unable to prevent their ravages. Col. McLeod visited the farm while the goose were there and in one after- noon's shooting bagged nearly two hun- dred birds. This is a pretty tough yarn. we know, but our informant, Mr. Burdick, vouchcs for its truth.†Almost Furled Alive. A servant girl in the employ of Mr. Pierre Gauvrc‘au, of Montreal, named Josephine Gauvrcau, recently received information from a reliable source of the sudden death of a younger sister employed in a cotton factory at. Lawv rcncc, Massachusetts. She acoordingly donned mourning garb. but what. was her surprise when on Wednesday she received a letter written in the hand- writing of the sister she had supposed to be dead. From the letter she learn- ed that her sister had been ordered by her physiciiur to use chloroform to in- duce sleep, and, taking an overdose, she had been overtaken by a sleep so pro~ found that. it. was thought she was dead. She was accordingly prepared for buri- al, and the mass for the repose of her soul was being celebrated, when all who were in the church were horrified by hearing a scream from the cofï¬n. It was immediately opened and the young woman taken to the ['ircsbytcry adjoin- ing the church, where, uudcr akill'ul at- tention, she quickly recovered, and isl now on her way to her birthplace, Quebec. O The Syndicate vs. Squatters. As everybody foresaw, except the Government themSclves, trouble has al< ready arisen in the North-Wait between the Syndicate and that class of settlers known as “ squatters " on lands which since they squatted upon them have boon handed over to the Pacific Rail- way Company. The Government con- tentcd themselves with warning the poo plc not to locate themselves on the land in advance of surveys, or before survey- ed lands were thrown open for home. stcading and preemption. Many im- migrants persisted in taking up farms and making improvements upon them in spite of those warnings, and in some cases the localities have turned up, as a matter of course, on odd~uumbcrcd i tious. No provision was made in the: contract with the Syndicato for thisi class of settlers. as valuable a class as ’ any in the North-West, and as the Com. puny are now throwing their lands into the market they naturally wish to C‘llll- » Of get.

Grammng in the Schools. VIEWS 0? TI!!! MEDICAL SUPERINTENDâ€" EXT 0!“ TUB ASYLUM. FQB TIIB INSANE. ..__. The following remarks bearing on the cramming system in the schools are tak- en from the report of Dr. Daniel Clark, Medical Superintendent of the Asylum for the lance, Toronto, for the year ending 30th September, 1879 :â€" “ There is a pregnant source of men- tal and physical deterioration which, in the ordinary way, scriottsly affects the adult population as well as the youth of our land. It, is the senseless mental overstniiu to which the school children are subjected. Any one can perceive (if such will take the trouble to look) how this is brought about. An exami- nation of the list of studies required of children and youths up to the ago of twenty-one and beyond it. in our schools and universities shows that, no young and growing brain can overtake the work laid out for it without, great and permanent. injury to this delicate and complex organ. Children are put. in the worst ventilated bouscx which can be found in the country, and these too In this f'oul air they must. study for hours at a time. Evening brings no rc- laxation for them.'bccausc a task uecd- ing several hours’ ’study must. be done before bedtime, or early in the morning, and this bccomcsa dreary, uninviting round, “from weary chime to chimc." smattering of almost every other branch of learning is required from more chil- dren. They successfully or vainly cu- dcavor, according to their strength, to overcome these daily burdens and ob- stuclcs to health, by a Constant effort which produces mental tension. The result. is many never recover from the lengthy life. Night and day, except: a few hours of sleep, from the age of sev- cu up to manhood or womanhood, the susceptible and tender brain is constant- ly on the rack, and this strain is at n time when only moderate exercise is healthy to this impressive organ. The brain must, like the rest of the body, in pacity for the great struggle of life. The young arc'not permitted to do hard manual labour bccuuvc of the tender- ness of the body until maturity is almost reached, but the most important organ of our physical system is urged onwards to the utmost. extent: of its powers from bobyhood upwards. The weary head is filled with all kinds of knowledge, which in former times was wisely judg- ed to belong to the colleges. Tho small hill ' of science has become a regular Andes, over which all young scholars must. climb to reach the goal of certiï¬ed proficiency. Not. only so, but the bias, diversities, and natural aptitudes of inâ€" dividuals are not provided for in youth. The same programme of studies is laid One may have a facility in and a liking for mathematics, anoth- cr for classics, :1 third for natural phil- osophy and n fourth for mechanics only, yet. no provision is made for those dif- V A par- tial solution is attempted in our colleges by u system of option, but this plan to meet. this difficulty does not exist in the lower grades of learning. It needs no prophet. to see that. this hot-house growth, in a foul atmosphere and a uniform system of forced training, with long hours of study, mean nervousness, lassi tudc, periodic headaches, a lax, pros. trntcd physical and mental system. A tendency to and an invasion of insanity may end the chapter of blunders, cs- pccially if a hereditary predisposition exists. A visit. to any of the schools of Toronto needs only be made to convince anyone that. tho flabby muscles, blonch‘ cd faces, weak and fluctuating pulses, languid movements, even in the play- ground, and the weary attempts to loom lessons, are not. much like the buoyant responses of nature in healthy children. Such arc the rccupcrative powers of the body that it will in a majority of cases come off victorious against a legion of such foes, yet. an alarming section of the rising generation thus educated car- ry into after life, in some form of nor- vous or brain disorder, the effects of the prevailing ignorance and persistent efforts to produce it precocious race by a short. cut, and this in spite of ruined constitutions. As a rulo the children who carry off all the prizes and are pointed to as modols by admiring friends are too often taxing with com- pound interest the present at the ex- pcnsc of the future. In this ago ofl widespread knowledge it is vain for anyone to attempt to overtake even the outlines during an ordinary lifetime, and is for better for ordinary mortals to i suck excellence in a {cw things than to l injure health by a vain attempt to new quiro universal knowledge. Oi," A Wealt y Convict.

The story might. have had u very speedy coding but for tho pluck of his dog, which at once sprung at tho cot, causing it to let go its grip of tho boy and turn to demolish the dog. Tho lad fortunately carried a stick, which, by the time the out had driven off tho dog' and again turned to attack him, ho had recovered presence of mind enough to use with all possible vigour. For the nch fcw minutes it was a triangu- lar struggle, in which the cat maintaiuv ed the attack with dospcmto ferocity, turning now upon the boy and thou up- on the dog, as each diverted its uttenv tion from the other, until at. lost a wall nimcd blow from tho boy's stick on tlro‘ side of the savage brutc’s hcnd ended its power for mischief.

VIENNA, Nov. 25.â€"Au unsuccessful attempt has been made by tho Terror‘ ists against the life of tho Czar. The Imperial family have decided to remove at once from Gutsohiuu. The police have made numerous arrmts in St. Pctersburg, Chat-bow, and Tchcrnigoffc. Among the prisoners are the chief of police of an important provincial city, two daughters of a high State Ofï¬cial, two Jewish merchants, a number of students, and active members of the Nihilist party. It. was decided to cause a balloon to ascend near Gatschiua, car- rying dynamite and explosive ï¬reballs. with appliances to cause tho balloon to fall within the palace yard, when it would explode and act the palace on fire. In the confusion it. was intended to seize the Czar and his family. The machinery seized shows that. everything was in readiness for the execution of the plot. - ‘Iha Lus of Gain. on GIGANTIC FRAUDS I.\' PHILADELPHIA. I’meri-umnm, Nov. 25.â€"â€"Witli ref- erence to tho frauds in the tax office here it it. is said that. sometimes there was a hare-faced overcharge of hun- dreds of dollars'iu bills of heavy tax- payers under the prctcndcd increase of the assessment surplus, and sometimes the wholc amount of the bill went. into the pocket of the clerk who received it. Another method was to collect. taxes on property which the asacssor through no- cidout or design omitted from the list. Haucl, who disclosed the frauds, says the storm which is destined to wreck the reputations of men hitherto rcspecb able in private life and prominent in public affairs has only begun to blow. It is stated the Girard Life and Trust Company alone paid $30,000 taxes, of EXPOSURE ury. I'Iancl says:â€"â€"â€lt was a poor day when the tax clcrk did not steal $50 or 660. One man connected with the ofï¬ce made between 860,000 and $75,000 in this way. We were all in collusion and ï¬xed the books so it would be hard to detect the fraud un- less exposed by one of the ring. City Controller Hancock's clerk, who audit- ed the accounts, stood in with us. Some of tho clerks who were in tho frauds are in oflicc now. Thccxposuro of the fraud: has created a grout sensation.

The musicians abandoned their instru- ments, on the main floor and in thc gal- leries the occupants sprang from their seats and rushed to the aisles, leaving their hats, coats and shawls behind. Women shrickcd for help, and men were seen attemptng to walk on the backs and heads of the dcnso throng in their eagerness to escape. thn'thc advance guard reached the doors they were broken open by the shock and scv- oral persons falling were. trampled upon. The manager jumped on the stage and endeavored to assure the pcoplo that there was no danger, but could not make himself heard.
