Flour has recently risen rapidly in price, and we are glad, though we have to buy a good deal of it, for it is in consequence of the rise in wheat, which in some of the market reports is already quoted at a dollar a bushel, a price which pcssimists predicted it would never reach again, except in war times. The price of wheat depends upon the world’s crop, and this year the yield is poor in some countries but good in Can- ada, although a great deal of injury has been done by the frequent heavy rains that fell just before the commencement of harvest, and beat down many fields of the grain so flat. it cannot be cut by r machines, and the demand for cradles is greater than the supply. Fortunately the rise in price has come before the wheat has got into the hands of the buyers, and, consequently, the benefit ‘will be reaped by the farmers, upon whose prosperity the prosperity of the .conntry deponds,_ nnd it is high time that-something should‘ occur to dispel the glotxm that has for so long clouded the agricultural brow. The extra money thus put into the farmers' pockets will not stay there long, but will be used to liquidate all sorts of liabilities, and we have strong hopes that by the end of next winter there will be a good deal less owing for the Gazette than there is at present. Laurier ” Not In It.” Under the above heading the Port Hope Guide says: “The Victoria (Lindsay) Wardcr contains a glowing account of the doings of our own Col.

We are told with bated breath that “Mr. Hughes was highly fnvtu‘ed," and: that along with Col. Dcnison, Dr. Ryerson, of the calf witn a,cough notoriety, Col.

We are pleased, however, to find that. the blawstcd British papers have been guy- lug us with their lavish praise of Lau- ricr. the hog-eating Frenchman, and that our Sam was the hero of the hour, and that wherever the gallant Colonel showed himsclt' the welkin rang with " Here comes Sam, the Canadian man." llip-hip-hip \vhoora, whmra.

This journal has frequentlycriticised our school system. We have said and still feel that too much superfluous work is imposed on the pupils, still it is a pleasing fact. to note that Fenelou Falls has the material in her schools to cope with the undesirable circumstances. Our schools almost invariably tnade a creditable showing when thcresults of the different forms were handed out. The prcsmit year is no exception to the rule, and any person going to the trou- ble to investigate this matter will readily see that our teaching faculty have been alive to thocommon welfare of the village, and should have that praiSe and encouragement meted out to them which they merit. When we . compare the work done along these‘ lines in other places and see our public l school standing away up as against high schools and colleges, where the: special work of manufacturing teachers is carried on, we may justly compliment our teaching staff and especially ourI esteemed principal. We will just euotc for the sake of comparison some oi' the work done this year throughout this province. The figures show thc‘num‘ ber of students graduated for third class certificates : Alliston 2, Albert College 1, B'owmanville 0, Campbellford l Dundas 0, Drayton 2, Exetcr 3, Hamilton 0, Millbrook 3, Newcastle 0, Paris 2, Fenelon Falls 6. It will be seen that most of the places named have a much greater population than we have, and consequently should have more material towork on ;,so we can safely feel like complimenting ourselves on the fact that we have demonstrated to the province thatsuccesshas crowned the efforts of both teachers and pupils of the Fenelon Falls public school. A’ Great Spectacle. - The proposed reproduction of a por- tion of lier Majesty’s Great Diamond Jubilee Procession in London, with cer- emonies in front ofSt. Pitul’stathcdral, and immense tableaux of incidents dur- ing the Queen’s reign, at the Toronto Exhibition from the 30.h of August to the 11th of September, is creating much interest throughout the Dominion, and thousands will go to Toronto-- from all parts to see it. Allthe uniforms, cos- tumes, carriages and state harness is be- ing brought from England, and the act.- ual dccm'ations used in London. The attractions at. the Toronto Fair this year will be greater. and better than] ever. The exhibits in all departments exceed any previous year. The illum- inations will be grand and cost a lot of money. It will be a fitting conclusion to the Jubilee year, and will be well worth going to see. The usual cheap - fares and excursions will be given. Village Council Proceedings._ ‘ l Fcnelon l‘alls, August 18th, 1807.; Council met at the call of the recvc. é iA‘l the members present except.
