He teaches the thing itself and not its carigature ; the teackiers present could not fail in being benefited by Mri Smith's superior method. of teach- ing Grammar, But. here as in the 'other subjects the time giyen was nothing ' dompared to what it should have been for the discussion of so valuable a branch of education. The subject was devested of munch of the rubbish of grammar builders, A hearty and unanimous vote of thanks was vendered to Mr. Smith for the pleasure and profit conferred by his effort.

If a poor house where established while we wonld have to pay qur share anda very large share too, for its mainten- ance we would have to give about as much to our poor at home as we do now, not more than two or three of these we now have to aid could with any of reason or economy be sent toa Poor House. The vote of the electors of Reach at the January elections was unanimous against the erection of a Poor House in this county and our representatives were instructed to that effect.
