A tolerably well attended public meeting was held in Scully's hall last Monday evening in consequence of Mr. in this village, if sufficient inducements were held out by the corporation. The chair was occupied by our worthy rceve, fore the ratepayers the information he possesscd'with reference to the project; but, as was foreseen by many, some few questions were asked which he was un- able to answer. The speakers, in ad- dition to the rccve. were Messrs. John Fell, W. J. Ncsbitt. H. W. Greene. Wm. Jordan. G. G Keith and Edward Fitzgerald, all of whom eXpresscd them selves in favour of encouraging the es- tablishment of the mill. though there was a wide diversity of opinion as to the amount of inducements that. ought to be offered. Finally the following motion was put and carried : Moved by Mr. S. Swauton, seconded by Mr. I). G. Smith, That this meeting appoint a committee, consisting of the mover and secnndcr and the Ibllntving persons. viz, Messrs. Jnsrph McArthur, John Thomson. Noble Ingram, George Cunningham, William Cqupbcll,John Fell. F. Sandford, E. Fitzgerald and II. W. Greene, t0'o'pea negotiations with Mr. J. ll. Scott or any other man- ufacturer, with a view of securing the establishment in this village of either a paper mill or woollen mill, as may ap« pear most. desirable, on the best terms possible as regards municipal aid or otherwise. and that they report the re- sult of such negotiations at as earlyn date as practicable to the ratepayers. with a view of adoption or rejection, and that A. A. McDora‘d, Esq., act as secretary of said oommittcc.â€"â€"Curried. On Tuesday evening the committee met, and after due deliberation it was Moved by Mr. D. G. Smith, seconded by Mr. E. Fitzgerald, That the secre- writc J. R. Scott & Co, Napaucc, in- forming them flint this municipality will agree to exempt, their mills from taxes and give them a free site within the said municipality for a period of 10 years front the passing of the by-law for the purpose, and will agree to lease a certain portion of market square front- such terms and conditions as may here- after bc’agreed upon; and that the said J. ll. Scott d: Co. be invited to meet this committee at a convenient date.â€" Carrier]. Next morning the secretary wrote to Mr. Scott, informing him what had been done, and soon afterwards it telc~ gram from him. asking for prompt in- formation us to what had been done, was received by Mr. McArtlIur. Mr. Scott appears to be anxious to come here and to commence preparations for building at the earliest moment practi- cable; and some are of the opinion that he is so convinced of the advantages of the locality that he will come whether any inducements be offered or not. Whether they are right or wrong we do not undertake to say; but we certainly think it is quite useless for him to ask for a cash bonus; for. as pointed out, by Mr. Fitzgerald, free sites for all his buildings and exemption from taxation are equivalent to at least $1,000 a y'e:Ir, which is all the village. in its prcsvnll How- ever. we shall probably soon have an- othcr visit from Mr. Smut, who ought to have been hrtc on Monday night. and “la-u the ratepayers have heard his ultimatum it will not take them . long to dccttlc whether to accept or re- jtct it. Youthful Profanity. One of our Port Hope contemporaries has brought on himself an unpleasant amount of indignation for having called to the fact that wine 0! the children attending their public schools learn to UN: profane language. We are told in sulmauce that the editor in quit-s minded what he said. until the matter and discussed by the Mail. This brought out letters deny- ing the fact and atomic: us that thef ‘ tracker: composing the Port Hope pub- : x tic school staff are ladies- :ud gentlemen -. ofthc moot mpecublc character. and q 9 would be the lat in the world to teach ‘ their pupils to swear. The fact, but - ,may be taken, or how much indignation our own teachers either, though some ofour children swear with an eloquence of utterance which is apt to lead stran- gers who may be under the necessity of people were rewarded by unexnmpled passing a night amongst us to suppose that they learned uothiug'clse at school. No one can for a moment imagine that children are ever under any circum- stances taught to swear by their teach- ers. There is that, however, wanting in our mode of teaching which would go to show that the thing in itself is wrong. No amount of arithmetic, geography or grammar â€"- most essential studies in themselvesâ€"will do it. Moral training, is wanting. School traditions are very strong, and the evil habits of a school are not easily rooted out, but descend sometimes, unless rigorously dealt with. from one set of scholars to another. Swearing therefore seems to have de- scended to our present race of school children as 3 Sort. of natural inheritance, and they use it certainly as if it were their own. Some seven or eight years ago, when the Victoria Railway was in the course of construction, a. few boys from our public school got. employment on the work *as drivers of carts, and so terrified the men by their oaths and blasphemy that. they refused to work with them. True to their traditions, we understood that. one at least of our school boys, now working on the canal, has received rather a rude check from ‘Mr. Macdouald in trying to introduce the same horrid system of swearing at the men upon that work. We under. stand that. Mr. Macdonald is anxious to hurry the work through to get away from our evil influence. Every stran- ger that. comes here is struck with two things, the natural beauty of the vil- lage and the swearing of the boys on the street. Every effort to induce in- telligent and right minded people to settle amongst us will be to a great ex- tent frustratcd so long as our council and Iiiagistratcs are headless of the facts that swearing and blasphemy are not only sins against heaven but offenc- es punishable by the law of the land. How our remarks on this question they may bring upon us, we cannot tell But we are not. exactly in the same po- sititm as our Port Hope contemporary. for he would be a bold man indeed who would venture to deny the fact that. profanity is largely indulged in by many of our school boys. They are not like the “ black sheep ” of Port Hope: they do not “swear on the sly." One has only to go out on the street after night to satisfy himself of the truth of our remarks. Ten days in Lindsay jail, with stones to break, on bread and wa- ter diet, for one or two examples would be quite sufficient to remedy the crying cvil, which renders our village a place to be avoided like Sodoai and Gun-- orrah. Death of Rev. Father Stafford. The death, from neuralgia of the heart, of Rev. Father Sta'fl'ord, parish priest of Lindsay. which took place at. noon on Sunday last, will cause dccp regret from one end of this county to the ulnar, as well as wherever else he was known. But few were ignorant that for several years the reverend gen- tleman's health had been gradually dc- clining, and there was scarcely a hope that his life would be prolonged for any very considerable period; but. he died, nevertheless, somewhat suddenly and unexpectedly, for on the previous Sunday be celebrated Mass, and until Friday of last week was able to be up and out. His remains lay in St. Mary's church, where they were viewed by sor- rowing friends and parishioners, from Tuesday mornlug until 10 a. m. on Wednesday. when, after being borne, followed by a great multitude of mourn- erc, through the principal streets of the town, they were buried in a vault, con- structed for the purpose, between the pulpit and the confessional in the church of which be had been so long the belov- ed and reverend pastor. The funeral sermon was preached by Archbishop Lynch, of Toronto, who, in the course of his panceyric on the deceased, said that. though it was true he had derived a large income from various sources, he had spent. it so lavishly on the church. the convent and in works of charity that he did not. leave enough money to defray the expenses of his interment. The following obituary, which appeared in Monday‘s Globe, gives an outline of the philanthropic career of the widely known and deeply lamented priest : “ This most distinguished ecclssiastic of the Catholic Church was born in Perth. Ontario, in 1828. lie received his classical education at St. Theresa College. near Montreal, and subsequent- ly studied theology at. Reginpolis Col. loge. Kingston. In 1856 Father Stnf-l ford was ordained priest by the Intel Bishop Phelan, of Kingston, and his first. appointment after his ordination was to the profcsmrship of classics in his alum mater.

It was at “II.- puriod of his life time tltll the deceas- ed commenced to take an active. part in the temperance movement. and the} cause of the higher education of Itiel masses.

In 1863 he was transferred to Lindsay by Bish- op Horan, and now entered upon an en- Iu Lindsay his labours in the cause of temperance , but rather increased, and his great devotion, earnestness and eloquence iu the cause of the social and moral elevation of the success. He secured the erection of a large school-house, and it was entirely through his cfi'orts that one of the larg- est. and most magnificent convent: in Ontario, costing 860,000, was erected at Lindsay for the Ladies of Loretta. He erected a superb residence, in which he abode at the time of his death. The house was surrounded by beautifully kept grounds, in which the superior tasteof the deceased was evident from its profusion of choice flowers, beautiful shade and ornamental as well as fruit trees, and his been delight in his charm- ing surroundings was not only the ap- preciation ofa miod sensitively alive to the beautiful, but of an msthetic taste which had been cultivated by study and rendered artistic by associations. The deceased ecclesiastic was simple and uoostentutious in his tastes. distin- guished for his charity and benevolence in all his relations in life, and in his re- cord for other denominations no man could beless swayed by prejudice or influenced by passion. For all religious divergencies from the Church to which he belonged be entertained the largest charity and good will, and invariably viewed religious quarrels and disputes with the utmost aversion. Father Staf- ford was greatly beloved by all who were favoured with his acquaintance, irrespective of differences of belief, and doubtless his sudden death in the midst of a career of usefulness, and while yet in the full possession of his mental and physical powers. will be universally rc- grctted. To his own church the loss will be irreparable, and the cause of temperance and education has in his death lost a friend whose fluent, im- pressive speech and ready pcn were wielded so dfteu and so successfully in their service." ‘ There is one error, thoule an unim- portant one, in the above notice. Father Stafford's residence was not built by himself but by John Kaowlson, Esq., from whom it was t'eutt'tl for a few years and finally purchased by the cou- grcgation of St. Mary's church. The Mechanics’ Institute Concert. *â€" One of the m‘tst- success ul concerts ever held under the patronage of the Mechanics’ Institute came off on Thurs- day evening, the 2nd of November, in Ingram's hall. The committee of ar- rangements decided that this entertain- ment should be compost-d of foreign tal. out, not at all in any disparagemcnt of our own amateurs, as the latter have on all occasions when they have appeared before the public ably maintained their reputation. A. 1’. McDonald, Esq, most successfully, and in his own kindly and genial manner, perforated the du- ties of chairman. and when the curtain rose at a little after 8 p. III. the hall was occupied by a large and respectable :udievice. Where So many really tall euted ladies and gentlemen appeared on the programme it would be most. diffi- cult to particularizc. We might. men- tion the d nets of Messrs. Hart and Dev- any. In the “ Larboard Watch " the rich baritone voice of M r, Dcvauey rang out in grand contrast to the beautiful tenor of Mr. Hart. Both of these gen- tlemen were most deservedly applauded. To say that Miss Jewett maintained her high musical reputation is sufficient; we have had the pleasure of hearing her sing on one or two occasions in Lindsay. but we fancy she excelled her- self on Thursday evening. She kindly answered the encores of the audience and really brought down the house. Mr. Gough sang several pieces in a most feeling and artistic manner, and in the. closing song with Mr. Det‘nncy, ‘- Good- bye, my love. good-bye,” infused such pathos in the last refrain that the hearts of the entire audience were with the singer. The Messrs. Giilogly Brothers and Gillespie gave several rich glues and ducts, and the humorous and coin in received ample justice from Messrs. Pudgcr and O'Brien. Miss Lcmay hm- favourcd the people of Fctlt'lntt Falls on former occasions, and isa general fa vouritc with any audience. Iler pcr~ Iortnauccs on the piano on Thursday evening simply delighted us. She shows a wonderful control of the instrument. Professor Wntford also gave us some rare exhibitions on the piano. .‘diss Logan played the'nccot’typanimcnts with taste and expressmn. he residents of our village must feel under a heavy ob- ligation to the ladies and gentlemen who at a personal inconvenience no doubt to themselves gave us such a rare treat, and we can tell them their ser- vices are duly appreciated. and should they visit us again on a similar occision we hespcak for them a most. hearty rc- ccptinn and a crowded house. It. is only right to say that the principal ar- rangemean in connection with the con- cert. were made by Mr. E. Fitzgerald. ‘ the secretary of the Institute; in fact the success of the affair is clearly due to his indefatigable efforts during the past two weeks. We think he noght to be sail-lied with tho result of his labours. l The gross proceeds amounted to 853,l which sum. after deducting expenses. will go to the benefit of the Mechanics' Institute.

There were, of course, several applicants for the position, but no one of them 5- sesscd stronger claims or better quali- fications than Mr. O'Lenry, and We are glad to hear that his appointment gives general satisfaction. WHY NOT fâ€"Mr. Sandford, carriage maker, of this village. offers to build a factory 35x90 and three stories high, (possibly of brick) if the council will give him a free site on Water strex-t near the iron bridge. He asks why. if strangers can get free sites to induce them to establish new industries in the village, the same inducement cannot be extended to him ? and the question ap- pears to be such a reasonable one that there is. we are glad to see. a strong feeling in favour of Mr. Snndford. who does not demand a bonus or exemption from taxation, but. simply the use of a piece of land which now produces no revenue, but which. as soon as he occu- pies it, will be taxed along with the buildings thereon.

It. is a waste of time. to speculate on the weather, which, as chnor knows, is generally quite different from what. ('ine anticipates; but: Hy the middle of November frost and snow are. expected, though they don’t always come. Just now the wea- ther is exceedineg mild, and the robin that was chirping near our house on Thursday morning said as plainly ushc could that he felt sure of being able to keep himself warm and find Something to eat. for a few days longer at the very least. After the above was in type more snow fell, and as it is still on the ground and the air is chilly, this (Fri- day) morning ls rather wintry. STILL Gownâ€"The insatiable cattlo buyer is around again and is driving off our live stock at a rate that makes as fear that we shall not. only be beef- lcss but mutmulcss also in the near fu turc, and perhaps porkless and poultry less too. On Thursday of this week a large herd of cattle and a whole flock of sheep passed on their way to that bourne (the railway station) from which nothing that bleats or bellows everâ€"or hardly everâ€"returns, and a similar moving spectacle is to be seen every few days. We villagers ponder with sinking hearts and collapsing stomachs on the probable prices of flesh meats if this sort of thing goes on much longer; but the farmer, as he comes from the bourne above mentioned, pats his pock- ct. book and laughs, cheered by the con- sciousness that he is rapidly tanking money and has still left plenty of ani- mal food for his own consumption, and, perhaps, also. an aged mm or two or a patriarchial bull to kill and out up when the time comes. for disposing of them by the quarter. British Columbia. We give below two interesting ex- tracts from the Marquis of Lorne's speech at. a farewell dinner given him by the citizen of Victoria, B. 0., at the conclusion of his recent visit:â€" TIJI'I CLIMATE. No words can be too strong to express the charm of this delightful land, where a. climate softer and more constant than the south of England ensures at all times of the year a full enjoyment of the wonderful loveliness of nature a- round you. There is no doubt that any Canadian who visits this Island and the mainland shores, and sees the happiness of the people. the forest-laden coast, the tranquil gulfs and glorious >cnnery, can- not but congratulate himself that the country possesses scenes of such pirfcct beauty. (Applause) We who have been much touched by the warmth of your welcome will. I am sure, sympathize with the desire which will be felt by ev- ery travelled Canadian in the future. that. every alternate year, at least, the; Dominion Parliament should meet in New Westminster, Nanaimo. and Vic- ttiriu.
