There is no other interest of so much importance to a community as that of the education of the young. 'It matters litle what system of politics, ethics or religion may be adopted by a community if ample provision be not made for the thorough ed- ucationot u!l the children of thai comunity it never can rice to a superior position amongst the nations of the world. It must be borne in mind however that neither cambrons laws, vexatious regalations, nor EDITORY apply for a sécond or highest County Board certificate unless he has taught successfully three years. It is needless 10 add, for all must ses; that the regulations in 'the two instaaces above are the most abominable 1ubbish, alike destitute of reason and justice--the froth ot some muddled brain. The papers for the next Exarnination are now being made out by tho Rev. G. Young M.A., Rev. J.G. D. McKenzie M.A. and J. A. McLellan M.A. Ly * We would urge upon the teachers throughout the Provine® to brush up a lit- tle and prepare for thie coming Examination, it is worih striving for, toget a first class County Board Cettificate, as it will be for life and extend over the entire Province.-- The Inspector and Board, so far as this County is coneerned, will doubtless be all dew men, so that cur respected teachers Will have every thing new to commence with, and we wish them a pleasant and Pproeperous career under the new regime. Those already holding first class County Board certificates ought not and doubtless will not be disturbed, Other certificates ought also to be atlowed to expire ere they be recalled. EE THR BOYS DISMISSED, F riday last was ®X_mination day, before the holidays of ing Dominion Sohools but a great migy of the hoye who were not upin thir studies, plunked the school and went home tryants. \ At three o'slock the Governor-General entered the Senate chamber and summoned the Commons to attend, His Excellency assented to the 47 Bills passed during the Session, of which the, following are of some importance to the public. v "An Ac} to mike temporary provision for the el of bers to" serve in, the House of Commons of Canzda. An Act to amend the Census Aot. An Act to make [vrther provision for the government of the, North-West Territories. Aa Act (0 ariend the Acts relating to the daties of Cosidms, An Act rolating to Banks and Banking: The following is the principal part of the closing speegh :-- The session which we are now closing has witnessed the consumation of the union of Manitoba and the odoption of the neces- sary initial measures to facilitate and ensure the admission of British Columbia into the Dominion. The addresses passed by the Senate ard House of Commons I will trans- mil to the Colonial Secretary for submission to Her Most Gracious Majesty, and 1 trust extravagant expenditure can secures the desired object. Neither does it follow that the education of a peopis can at all be pre- dicated vpon 'the hiberaliiy of the grants giv- en for higher education--1hep very reverse is not unfiequently the fact, Take England as a cise in point, - The true criterion by which to judge the in: telligence of a people and to estimate its general education is by the amounts granted to the common schools--the real colleges of the people, the only true standard of its education as a people. -- Every dollar which a country can possibly aflurd for.cducational purposes ought to be poured intogbo lap of our universal alma mater, the £ommon School. It is not enough that our Common Schools be styled Free, while, in not a few sections, several of the Tate- payers are bled to death in maintaining a sohool which is too weak alinost to de- serve the name. 0 or 40 child will get a grant in the neighborhood of $30, while an equal number in a High School will gel a grant of $400, We are not find- ing fault with the latter, but we do with the formar,aud regard the pompous title 'Free,' as attached 40 ows Common Schools, as an unvarnished misnomer. The Amended Common School Act Ppass- ed by our Assembly daring its last session is, in many ot its features, an improvement on the old, while in others it isnot ee good ; and it will cost a vast deal more to run the unachine. The subatitation of County In- spectors in place of Township Superintend- ents, though much more expensive, will supply amore thorough inepection, if the in- cumbent enter his work with that devotion necessary to the proper. discharge of its Adutiee. ' The fact of substituting the civil eourt in place of arbitration in matters of dispute "between trustees and teachers is advaneing | backwards. : 1By the-new act the summer vacations in ail cur-camumon schools commence on the 16th of:July next and end on the 15th of Auguet. ; We may here. stato that the new School Law hae been in force,so far as practicable, since Feb'y. Of coursy :the appointment of Inspectors cannot take placs till the «Counties Councils meet in June, but by the +beginning of July they will : be : ready to «enter on their duties, 'and thus the 'whole . machinery, being complete, 'will: be put in ranotion with as litile delay as possible. Amongst the first moves made will be the "Examination of Teachers under the new regime. In future there "will be (hres classes of certificates, viz: the'first or the highest which. will be ted by the Council ol Parliament will, at its next session, have the satisfaction of viewing as an accom- plished fact, the union of all Her Majesty's continental possessione in North America-- an object, the attainment of which even the most sangui d es did not i for many years to come. I cherish the expectation that the result of the census will demonstrate that the sev- eral provinces of the Dominion have made rapid advance in 'population and in all the elements of material prosperity during the last decade. The fisheries question is still under the consideration of the Joint High Commission at Washington, and I am confident that every effort is being made to secure' such a fesuit as will meet the reasonable expecta. tions of the Canadian people, and tend to the preservation of lasting amity feeling between Great: Britain United States. Gentlemen of the House of Commons I tender you my thanks for the readiness with which you Have granted the supplies for the present year. - Ho ble Gent, and Gently : We have abundant cause for rejoicing at the present moment in the favorable state of the revenue, and the thriving condition of many branches of the national industry. 1 gratefully acknowledge the loyally of the people, and tbe spint of order and respec or the law which Jrorsils in every part of the country ; and { pray with all humility that ttiese blessings may be of long con- uuuence, and that He, fiom whom all good proceeds may vouchsafe to look with favor on this Dominion." The sassion has been an unusually brief one, scarcely occupying two months. There has been some importany legislation done, also, some of the most reckless that corld be imagined, while the Jong struggled for rip. by pop. has been completely ig 4; the dear Manitobians getting more representa- tion than they had any.claim to, while the pet province of British Columbia hes had all her own way of it and cavsed us to make a fool of 'ourselves by making us! promise far more than ever we can perform. Members ought to be able to show some- thing of a record in the shape of work, they have been pretty well paid, at $600 each marber for a few days' attendance j some, no doubt, did what they could fo earn it, while others did not earn six to their coun- try or their constituents.

THAT OTHER LIBEL SUIT. It will be remembered that Mi. Josiah Blackburn one of the publishers of the Lon. don Ont. Free Press: endeavorad to oon- virce twelve jurymen that the publishers of the London Advertiser bad wounded his reputation to the extent of $5,000 by allow- ing one Mr. Cornish, whom these Black- burns bad been abusing for years, to take a rap at these Blackburns through the Adver- tiser, The jory however could not see the point and would aot entertain Jociah's claim for & moment. Two of them, it appears thought Josish ought to be satisfied with twenty cents bot ten of them refused to give any such extravagantly large amon) as 20 cents ; doubtless these thunght it served him right and would, give nothing, So they, could not 7200 and Josigh'e bright yisiqns ofa golden harvest vanished in thin air seeing the plaguy jurymen would not let him have it. : Bu Josiah was not the only Blackburn brpised by Cornish's missle, for Stephen 100 judged his wounds to be worth $5,000 aud set hig claim in motion intending to bring it right on after Josiah hal pocketed his change. 1t turned out however that Josiah got nothing but the chagrin to pocket, but Stephen had gone too far ta regede he had to fave the music however disagreeable, he had entered the anit and he could not well get-out of it. So fhe case wag called at the Asi 1 In. Toranto on Friday last. The Hod, C. Cameron Q. C. ap- | pedred for the plaintiff and Mr. R. A. Har- risun Q: C. represented the defendants. When the roll of the special jury was Salled, only nine of the jurors di he plaintiff, thereupon, proposed to with- draw the case. Council for defendants ex- preased their willingness to proceed with a jury composed of 1 he spepial jurymen who were present, and three of the common jury, or with 'twelve of the ordinary jury, but the plaintiff declined the offer aud with. drew the. record. The jorymen then asked the plaintiff to compensate them for their loss of time 'and expense in attending the court two days, they having been present when the other case wag tried, as woll as that day. The plaintiff said that he wov)d pay them what the law allowed them. This was a some- what bright idea ne under the circumstances the law would allow them nothing the case having been withdrawn. So that all round--if we except learned counsel-- these lebrated libel suits have been rather poor pay. But we would like to know by what tight the Blackburns or any other burn dared to expect twelve disinterested men ta dance attendance upon them for a couple of days and get nothing for their iost time. If everything that takes it into its head to enjoy the luxury of a libel suit is to have the wer of dragging a dozen mien all round Soar ai his heels without a cent of com- pensation itis high time something were dene to confine these suits within their proper bounds. THR SCIENCE OF SWEARING, Swearing is both a science and an art, but it must be admited that in the cfomey way in which the oath is generally admin- istered, us well as taken, there is precions little seience displayed,and the consequence is, a large amount of hard, hard swearing -- witness our Magistrate Courts, our' Diy- ision Courts, our Police Courts, &ec., &o. where the. bungling administrator and the unscrupulous perpetrator not unfrequently seem alike indifferent as to the importance or golemnily of an oath. In very many in. stances swearing it through appears to be the chief aim of the swearer, while the cavalier style in which itis generaly ad- ministered, has no great tendency to check the growing evil. Really, the swearing duels witnessed in our eourts are almost enough to bring the whole system of s ing into ph and to cause our courts tobe regarded as s huge hoax.-- Witness the faree of swearing in the Police Courts of Toronto, where the Innocents had from day to day been emacking and slob- bericg all over an old dictionary, which was supposed to be a bible, and whose greasy old boards were looked upon with about as much veneration as the Beak's castor, So far as the-book oi which the Sain is taken goes, our coutts axe little, if anything bettur supplied, tis true that we | generally have a copy of the scriptures tied up with an wld string, which forms a ozoss on the sides ; but this.string cross does not amount (0 the value of one straw, as far as rendering the oath more binding with thosp who deny the authenticity of our version of! the scriptures. The science of swearing was recently pretty well illustrated in London, Ontario. Rev. Mr. Broyere, a Roman Cathoiio, | clergyman, was summoned before .the Po-. lice Magistrate for negleoting to register a marriage which be soiemnized. The Rev. Mr. White, another Roman Catholic cler- gyman, was pul into the box as witness. The Bible was presented 10 him in orde' that he might.be sworn, but finding it a Protestant version he absolutely refused to ewearon it. The magistiate remonstrated but in vain, witness asserted that he could not be compelled to .swear .upon a Proies- tant version of the Scriptures. Some magistrates wouid doubtless have got on their official stilts, under similar circumstances, and would no.doubt have burned their fingers by committing .wisness for coptempt. i . Mr. Lawrason, the magistrate in question had 100 much good.sense to take any such step, ho-wisely postponed the case until he should receive. advice..on the point; and he at once applied to the-county. attorney who following opinion, which ought averlooked by those interested. gave jhe : i Lonpon; Ont, April 6, 1871. ToL. y Exg Polio, Magiaras, | 'ined the following notice :--% On Satur: lor on Evidence," 6th edition, vol. 2, ge 1206, « that all witnesses ought to be --o according to the peculiar ceremonies of their own religion, or, in such manner as they deem binging on their consciences. -- In order to ascertain what form is so bind- ing, the court should inquire of the witness himeelf, and the proper time for making this inquiry is before he is eworn." There oro several cases cited. A Mahomedan is sworn upon the Koran--Morgan's gage; a Chinese 1s aworn by the ceremony af his breaking a sauger previously tq the admin- istration of the oath. R. vg, Mirehman, | have no doubt, therefore, thata Roman Catholic may object to he sworn on the Protestant version of the Scriptures, and that be should be sworn in such a manner as he deems binding on his conecierice, and of this be himeelf is the proper judge. I would recommend ypu in all such cases to note that the witness requires to be sworn in a particylar manner, and the reasons he assigns fof that demand. ¥ _Yours truly, 5 Cuarres Hutoyson, County Crown Att'y. a WARN .

Deceased first came to Prince Albert in January, 1866, and entered the Dry Goods establishment of Messrs. J. & W.

Cowan and latterly under W, M, Wightman, Esq. He bad a fair salary, and everything was done, which employers could do, for his best interests. He was a man of more than ordiary intelligence, bad received a good education and was. well read, had travelled a good deal'and thoroughly un- derstood his business ; and barriug that one vice--the cup--was all that- could be desired in an agreeable, inte]ligent membe: of society. He lost his wife oser three years ago--a loss which appears to have weighed heavily on' bis mind, and certainly did not tend to separate lim from his enemy, bur seemed to make him bug it still closer, Mr. Wightman his late employer advis ed, counseled and admomished with all the kindnéss- and forbearance of a generous nature, but in vain. At the close of De. cember last, pot yet 3 months ago, deceas ed gave up his situation and Mr. Wight- man paid him up the amount due him (8170). So that there was no necessity for his being in indigent circumstances within little more than a couple of months from that time. Deceased bung around the village for a short time and then went off no ope. knew where until Saturday last when tle village was shocked by the sad intelligence that deggnsed bad shot himself on the pre- vious morning in an hotel gn Jaryis street, Toronto. The sad event is set forth in the following sentence. At six o'clock yesterday morning the inmates of the house were startled by the report of a pistol ; but strange to say, no notice was taken of tke occurrence until pine o'clock, when, for some reason or other, some person went into the room occupied by Carter, and was horrified at seeing him lying in bed bathed in blood, Drs. Oldwright and Richardson were immediately sent for, and upon examining the: pafortynate man: it was fopnd tbat be bad disgharged a pis- tol, loaded with small shot,' close to his right ear, which was blowa off completely, and a portion of the lower jaw shattered.

The frequency of these shows apd the laggely increasing support which is being given (0 theni are amongst the 'most 0 couraging features in our history as agri- culturigtg. It is true that a very large share of the labor, anxiety and even the expense of floating these shows is till borne by those who take the lead in man. ought to be in consequence of the indiffer- ence of members, who not only leave all the burden of management on the few but not unfrequently give them a world of trouble in bunting down and coaxin mem- bers for their membership fee. This 1s the case to a greater qr Jess extent in all our agricultura] gogieties, gud it oyght not to be so jp amy of them. Every man in our rural sections--especially agricultur-- ists--ought to be a member of the agricul- tural society of his own township, and so far from requiring to be hunted and coaxed for his dollar ke ought to be too glad to get parties willing to assume the laber and responsibility in connection with the man agement of the society without subjecting them to the unnecessary . annoyance of bunting over all creation after members and then begging and coaxing for 8 paliry dollar.
