JOSEPH HEARD: l l ple,â€"-â€"the district it includes, town and all, does not number more than fourteen thousand, and yet we support a Collegi- ate Institute, and a large number of ex celleut schools, in which every child is educated free. You readers in Great Britain will learn with astonishment that this little town of l’etcrborough maintains free educational establish- ments at an expense of $22,000. This large sum is partly paid by the rate- payers, and partly by the Provincial Government. The Collegiate Institute costs this year $8,000, of which $5,500 is paid by the ratepayers, and' $1,300 by the Government. The public schools cost $14,000, of which $750 is Govern- ment grant. The total annual taxation the people of this town impose on them- selves for the purpose of giving free ed- ucation to the whole of the children is $17,509. This iuftn‘mation may inter- est your English readers, for in England the people appear to live in great ignor ance, have no free educational system such as ours, generally speaking are in- finitely inferior in social arrangements, and it would do the English much good to come to Peterborough and see our way of doing things." The Gazette has always contended, and always will contend, that education has to be paid for. in Canada as well as in England or' any other country; but that, under our unjust system, the chil- dren oi the prosperous classes get a high school or college education for a gi'eat deal less than it is worth, because part of the cost is paid, under compul- sion, by parents who, from various caus- es, cannot send their sons or danghters to those institutions. That this is so, is proved by the l’ctL-rboro' enthusiast's own words; and the Whitby Chronicle, in‘an article in its last issue urging its readers to give their children the best education the country affords, says : “ You have to pay for it whether you use it or not;” and that is where the injustice we complain of comes in. A Floating Hotel. Our enterprising townsman, Mr. W. E. Ellis, tells us that he has almost definitely made up his mind to embark in a newâ€"and we believe it will be prof- itableâ€"enterprise: to wit. the erection ofa floating hotel; and it he does not abandon the project. of which at pres- ent there is no likelihood, arrangements for carrying it into effect will soon be commenced. Mr. Ellis's idea is to build a story-and‘a-half or two-story super- structure on the largest sized scow that 1 will pass through the llosedale locks, fit , it up with parlour, dining.r room, kitchen, bedrooms kc; and either place it in; charge of a landlord, who could take ’ guests at so much per day or week, or rent it to parties or families for such periods as might be agreed upon, and let them keep house for themselst One of the steamers owned by the company of which Mr. Ellis is a member could move it, as the occupants might desire, g from place to place on either the lower or upper waters,aud adclightful change of scene and of fishing-grounds could thus be secured. As the hotel would: y a for Bill Island, Balsam Lake, with the room; and in external appearance it would somewhat resemble the. palace barges now on our waters. If it proved profitable, a second, or even a third barge could be added to the first, and by this means the kitchen, parlours and sleeping apartments could all be on sep‘ arate barges, which would be a great rccomcndation in the eyes of fastidious patrons; and most residents of cities who are able to afford a summer‘s out- ' ings arc fastidious. The scheme pre- sents a wide range of possibilities, and we hope Mr. Ellis will. carry it out. m Personals. Mr. “’m. McWatters, of Lindsay, was. at the Falls on Monday last. Mrs. Edward Chambers left on Tues- day, with her litrle boy, for a week's visit to her husband at Midland. Mrs. George Manning, accmnpauied by her youngest son, is visiting her brother, Mr. Thomas Davey, ai Pine Lake. Mr. R. S. Porter, of Lindsay, and Mr. Tisdale, of Toronto, paddled from Sturgeon Point to the Falls on Wedncs day forenoon, and went back soon after dinner. Miss Irene Fitzgerald. eldest daugh- ter of Mr J. W. Fitzgerald, of Parry Harbor, is visiting her relatives at the Falls, and will probably remain for a couple of months. Miss Annie Robson returned home last Friday, alter spending more than two months with friends at Peterboro’ and Lindsay, and on Saturday left with the camping-out party for Ball Island. Mr. Vernon Smith, of Port Hope, ar- rived at the Falls with his canoe by Saturday’s train, and two or three hours later. he‘was on his way to Ball Island, to join tlte party who left here in the forcuoon. Mr. Robert J. Cameron and his bride left on Monday morning for their home at Orillia, about twelve miles from So- uttle, in the State of Washington. We, and many other friends, with them a long, happy. and prosperous career. Mr. T. A. Middleton, of' Lindsay, was rt the Falls on Tuesday. He is a relative of Gran. Fred. Middleton, but as that warrior didn't divide the $20,000 with him, nor even send him enough furs to make an over-coat, T. A. is in- clined to disown him. Mr. Archibald McArthur, of Fenc- lon, was at the Falls on Tuesday, for the first time since the 24th of June, when he went home feeling unwell, and was prostrated by what proved a severe attack of inflammation of the lungs and pleurisy. He is gaining strength rapid- ly, and has not at all the appearance of .‘a man recovering from a long and dan- gerous illness. Mrs. le. Campbell, who left a fort- night ago for her annual visit to her relatives in the parish of St. Augustine, about 25 miles below Montreal, is now .with some of them at Cacouna, about 200 miles below Quebec, where the fam- ily have a house which they occupy, for a few weeks in the fall, leaving it in charge of a care-taker during the-rest of the year. Mrs. Campbell will be away about a month longer, and on her return trip will remain at Montreal long enough to pay a business visit to several prominent wholesale dry goods houses. m Carnome PlC-NIC.â€"-Tllc annual Catholic pic nic in this parish is to be held on Wednesday, Sept. 3rd, in the Agricultural Society‘s park in this vil lagc, and, if the weather be favourable, a very numerous attendance may safely be looked for.

GETTING COLD â€"Early this week there was a remarkable lowering ot the temperature, and the nights have since been almost, though not quite, Cold enough for frost. The weather jlhl. now is very variable, and what it will be like by the time the Gazette makes. its appearance we do not venture tot predict. A GENTLE REMINDERâ€"Cull early and} often for your School Hooks or anything in i that line. A big stock just in at Ellis's ‘ drug store. Canrmo Ourâ€"A party of about a dozen rif our villagers Iett last Saturday intention of camping out for at least a Week or perhaps more, should the wea- ther prove favorable. If that Iongtalk- ed-of and much-needed swing bridge were built, so that steamers with “ for- 3 eigners" from Sturgeon Point couldf get into Balsam Lake, the glowing ac-i counts of its beauties that they would: take home with them would soon make I it popular (and populou~) as a summer ' resort. that anybody has sufi'cred from the want of it. Etscrmc Lianaâ€"There is a ru- mour, which we have. not time to trace to its source, that an electric light the: tory is about to be established in the village; but we are inclined to doubt that the rumour is Well founded, as Mr. LeEspcrance, who was here two or three times trying to awaken a yearning fir more light, told us that he had received very little encouragement. PASSEDâ€"Miss Mary Cullen, Miss Annie Ellis, Miss Susie H'iiskill and Miss Susie McDairmid are to be con- gratulated upon having obtained third class teachers’ certificates. It speaks well for our head master, Mr. Mull-ru- gall, that the examination, which is much more difficult than it used to be, was passed by four out of the six of his pupils who tried for certificates. THE Hommvs Ovenâ€"~le Monday next, the 25th inst., the public schotils will reopen, and it is to be hoped that the long holidays enjoyed by the teach- ers and pupils will enable them tee-o sumc their intellectual labours with re- doubled vigor. As usual there will be the semi-annual grumbling at the outlay for new books by the parents of children who passed the promotion examinations. BENthUGlI.â€"Ml‘. J. W. Bengough's entertainment in‘ Iiigram’s hall last night was well attended; and exceeded our most sanguine expectations. Mr. Bengough is “ a host in himself," and neither needs nor has any help in his appearance on the platform. He is bub- bling over with humor, and his songs, recitations, and speeches were all al- mirably rendered and elicited roars of laughter-.1 Several crayon sketches of prominent villagers were drawn with great rapidity, and with such skill that the likenesses were recogniz:d before they were half finished. A NICE PltESENT.â€"On Thursday of last week Mrs. Hugh McDougalI, of this village, received by express a neat little pony mare, that had been Sent to her all the way from- Miuuedosa‘ by her father-in-law, as a present. It is a dark sorrel, four years old, and was bought two years ago from an Indian chief, since which time it has become thorough Iy civilized, and has taken three prizes at shows in its native province. It has been carefully broken, canters nicely under a side-saddle, and will look well in the light set of harness for which it was measured, soon after its arrival, by. )1 r. Joseph Nevison. Asusrrox run Timersâ€"Last Sat- urday morning, while a train was being loaded at one of the ice houses above the pulp mill, a brakcmau was sent up the line to flag the regular train from the north. The man planted the flags staff in the usual manner, sat down, and fell asleep across one of the rails I Fortunately the engineer of the ap- proaching trainâ€"which had SlOWL‘Ll up when it got near the villageâ€"saw the flag in time to prevent a fatal accident ; but the cow-catcher actually pushed the man off the track, and he rolled unhurt down the embankment. It is said that railway employees are sometimes so overworked that they Can only keep a- wake while actively employed, and we cannot helpfiuspeeting that this was a case of the kind. A man with two horns growing out of his forehead has actually been dis- covered by Capt. Albornog, on the Grand Chaco, in the Argentine Republic. lie is tall, with a full beard, and the horns, although small, are like those ot a stag.

At Augusta, Midnigan, at 5 p. in. on the 15th, the east-bound North Short- limited train on the Michigan Central road struck a protruding car of a train which had been side-tracked. The en- ginc then jumped the track and cradled into the depot, wrecking the building. It is rumoured two boys who were in- side were killed outright. After strik- ing the building the engine exploded, blowing Fireman Gregg to atoms and instantly killing Engineer Roberts. So far, the news t'cccivcd does not tncntion any passengers being killed, though the number injured is given at 12 to 15.
