APPRoros to the attempt on the lite of‘the President, the New York Sun unearths a letter by Lord, Maeauley to Henry S. . Randall, of New York, written twenty‘four years ago,,,“ Your Constitution,” said Macaulay, “ is all nail and no anchor. Either some Caesar o1 Napoleon will seize the reins of gov. e1_nment with a strong hand, 01 yo111 Republic will be as feaifnlly plundered and laid waste by barbarians in the twentieth century, as the Roman emâ€" wire was in the fifth, with this difl‘eijence â€"-tl1at the Runs and Vandals will have been engendered within yom own count1 y by your own institutions.” How t111e was this piophecy 18 shown by re- cent events, but it is to be hoped the Inactical good sense of the American people will find means of averting the catastmphe piedicted by the historian.

Railway, the Uxbridge Journal says :-7-“ The first shipment of rails for laying a third rail on the Toronto and Nipissing Railway is now on the way to this country, end\ the preliminary work of lemoving the present guage to one side and changing the station platforms has commenced. In all cases where practicable the staâ€" tion buildings will have to be moved further back from the present traclr. The bridges have been widened to suit the change of gauge. The two outside rails, when the third rail is laid, will be of steel The cost of the work will be $700,000. The report that the road has been disposed of to the Grand Trunk 00., lacks confirmation.

THE American people, since the adoption of the Constitution, have chosen eighteen different persons to the Presidency, of Whom James A..Garficld is the last. The attempt ,at assassina- tion has been made upon the lives of three of these persons. The first attempt was on the life of President Jackson, on the 30,th of January, 1835, and if the pistols cap had not missed fire he would have been shot .and probxbly killed on the spot. A little more than sixteen years ago, on the 14th of April, 1865 the lamented Lincoln fell a victim to the assassin’s bullet and died the next day. On, Saturday, July 29d, 1881, President Garfield was shot, with the intent to kill him. The assassinations, accomplished or attempted, are at the rate of one in every six persons chosen to_the Presidency by the people, Ar‘i‘t‘lltme‘t'ic, IOQ--D. McLeod 84, D REPORT OF WOOOVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOL. WOODVILLE. JULY 21.. mm. u pm Bong Publico." SIR,â€"I wish to correct some mendacious statements your Kirkfield correspondent has made regarding the School iExhibitions that were given in .the Kirkfield school house on the 6th and 7th inst. After admitting that I did put the pupils through a course of questioning, he says : “But this we presume was only a pal-tr of the entertainment and not intended to show the children’s know- ledge of the subjects gen: over." New, in answer to this I say that I took what I thought was a very effective way of showing the welfare what progress had been made by the pupils in their several studies. Your correspon ent cannot deny that I put the arithmetic class through a very long examin- ation. As to the questions I" gave them many were from a paper that for the sake of convenience I 118(me red on the morning of the examination ; at there Were also worked on the blackboard as tests and illus trations, several unprepared. questions. I defy your correspondent to say that among the arithmetical questions I gave there were any, excepting one. identical. with questions I had given before. Your corres ondent was not present in the afternoon. ad he been there present he would have had an op- portunity to put questions to the pupils, at not while I, myself was examining; I think that one examiner is quite enonah for a class at one” time Your correspondent says‘that Miss Angus left her school entirely to the mercy of the visitors. I think it would be nearer, the truth to say that she handed the classes over to Mr. Uuthhertson. Now, Mr. (‘uthbertsom quite regardless of remonstrances Inadeby Miss A nqas,examined the classes in lessons they had never reached. The result was a most ridiculous one. The junior second, for instance, could not read a single sentence of the lesson in which Mr. \ Cuthbertson persevered in examining them. He asked the u )ils uite a number of ‘ questions, all 0 w ich (inc had to answer himself. Such was the farce that your cor- respondent calls a Inos‘: searching examina- tion. Mr. Uuthbertson succeeded in two thingsâ€"ho made some of the pupils cry with vexation. and allowed the parents that were present how smart he was at exposing their children‘s ignorance. Now ii .\I r. (.‘nthbert- son had a right to do this. 1 must confess that I know nothing of the ooject of school examinations. I always thou ht the object ; of school examinations was to find out what 3 pupils know, and not what they are ignor- ant of. Your correspondent states that J. } McRao assisted hlr. Cuthbertson in the ex. ‘ amination ; this is another falsehood. It is not likelv I Would assist in what I was so disgusted with. If your correspondent thinks lit to write anything more about this matter, let him be manly enough to sign his i name. Jens Mclm‘n | Grammar, 75â€"Mina Stoddart 60, L.Edwards 55, M.E.Campbell 52, M.
