In the midst of the multitude of legislative bodies with which we are blessed, we sometimes wonder whether the multitude of Counsellors may ngt have passed the bounds which the wise king had in his mind when he penned the propo-ition quoted above.-- No one attempts to deny thst it is quite possible to have too much of a good thing, #0 it is quite possible dora people lo be leg- islated 10 death, © We do not, however assert for a moment that Canada hss ye arrived at this point or anything spproach- ing 10 it, but we do assert that in all con- science we have a good deal more legisla- tion than is good for os, taking the quantity and quality beth into consideration.

The tnuetings of our County Council ought not tv be regarded with indifference, either.by the members or the general public ed" forward 16, with That interest to whiclnthieir importance Meet of the members consider before hand what measures they may introduce likely 10 prove beneficial to the, county, And objain all possible informa- tion on the matter, so as to be prepared 10 enforce tbe merits of said mercies, They are 110 less anxion? 1o.aecestain what mes- sues 5a general nature are likely to be bionzhit before them, 80 thut they may have a chaige to i:vesiigate the merits of the scheme, snd so deal intelli- gent'y with it when brought up. On the other nand, it is the duty of all who know of any measure, the introduction of which is likely to be of advantege to the County, 10 represent the same lo their representative, and if possible, get it submitted to the Council for their approval or rejection, 'as they deem best lor the interests of the com- munity. i Several mearures of great importance will be submitted at 'the approaching sesrion-- measnres which will require to be handled with great caution and not a little ekill. The new Sohool Act makes it obliga- tery on CountiesCouncile to appoint suitable parties as Inspectors of the Public Schools of the Province. A This duty involves a large amonnt of responsibility, as on the success of this appointment the future of our public schools will very much depend. It is of the very utmost importance thal ine pany sppointed to this ositiai bea men of the proper stamp, both able and willing to die- charge the duties of tha office with credit to himself and advantage to the schools ove! which he is placed. A man fully alive to ihe great imporiance of a thorangh educa- tion, both in an individoal and national point of view, one who will consider him- eclf responsible for the sucoess of all the schools under his charge. With regard to the educational qualifica. tions of the Candidates, the certificate from the Educational Department secures eligi bility on that score ; but still the County Council will require to know something more cf the man of their choice. Hie known dilligence, ¢kill and saccess es 8 teacher, ought to go far in his fayor towards receiving the appointment. There are sev- eral other indispensible qualifications, the importance of which the Couneil well know and will doubtless seek to obtain in the paity whom they select. The County can weil offord to leave the selection ir the hands of the Council, fully assured thet they will do all in \Leir power lo secufe the ser- vites of » thoroughly competent and enils- ble cfficer. Another new ard responsible duty de- volving upon the County Council is the appointment of a Board of Lzaminers con sisting of two, three, but not more then four members besides the County Inepec- tor for the examination snd licensing of Public School Teachers.

The appoint- ment of two Inspectors certuioly would Several important matters in connection Council at the approaching session. One of these will be the laying out of High School districts, this is a new feature in the Grammar or High School Act and we shall be much mistaken if it does not prove a somewhat difficult task. 1u the firat place, the Connty Conncil shall define the limits of each High School district in the County, according to a major- ity of the votes of tho members of enid Council ; and here is where the difficulty will arise. According 10 the will of » ma: School districts may be made larger or smaller. A High School district may be confined within the limite of an incorporated town, or village, or a township, or it may embrace more territory, or it may be cun- Jeem advisable ; and this hasevery chance 10 bring considerable diplomacy to the sur- ce. The municipalities of Pickering, Fast Whitby, West Whitby, Scugog, Scott, Tho- a, M nd Rama, where no High School exists ; and even pats of townships too far removed fron the site of the High School 10 send their children every morning, will nos y a8 pick {or thempintensy Sehanls sa 1 aa do.who live within sendirig disfarice. SBekides the town or village in which said High Schools are located draw a large indirect benefit from (fb infidx of popilariss which gether found 3 grod schonl, and if they are not good, they dan't deserve suppont from any one. The maintenanciel High Schools is fo be provided for as follows: ~The Govern- ment grants a certain amount annually to enol High School, and the Connty ir. which the High Schools are situated must grant to each of them,every year,an amount equal to one-half that giver by the Government-- The County Couneil has no option in his, they are obliged to make ihe appropriation; and thus the whole county must contribute a certain amount to the support of the High Schools. But sll other sums necessary for the accommedation end eopport of the High Schools must be collected from the High School district in which said school is situ- ated ; and here will be the sticking point. Parties who reside at too great a distance to be able to.eend to a High School, knowing that they already contribute, through the County, to the support of these schools, will naturally demur at being included within the district, and thus have to cons tribute as much to the support of thess schools as those localities do who reap nearly all the tenefit.-- Very likely the liits of High School dis- tricts will not exceed the bounds of the in corporated town or village in which they are located, and in townships the districts will most likely mot extend more than mile each way from the school house. This would be nothing more than justice to those living ata greater distance and could nrt well be compluined of by {hose residing within these limits, and on whom the additivnal support of the school would fall, = Another important duty which devolves apon the County Ccuncil in connection with our High Schoels is the appointment of 6 properly qualified porties for each High Schor! in the County as members of the High School Board, This Board will possess all the power of miniature auto- crats in the [ligh School district over which they preside ; so that in order to diminish the chances of a coup d'etat some degree of care will require to be exercised in the selection. The members of Council will doubtless be prepared to toke intelligent action oo all these matters. It is not at all unlikely that the standing iostitution--a County Poor House--may agaio preseot itself to the familiar gaze of our Coanty Council, as the erection of such an institatico may be mooted by some one. We should judge liowever that our County Council will consent 10 no such undertaking 5 just yet, as under present circumstances our poor can be much paty in which they jreside. -- These ate not more than one or two in an) municipality receiving indigent aid, who belong to the classes Aged add Infirm.~ Ninety-nine out of every hundred dollar spent on the poor are given in way of Notwithstanding these facts every member of Council will feel snxious to make » proper selection. besides thie County Inspector would be tion from the Department of Education. || The question-has been frequently asked' the County Council is likely to sppoiut ne or two Tospectors for ths County would oply say that we know pothing hey. shall appoint, one or 's very iikely bowever they will appoint only ane, aa owe has every chance to per.

I understand that he graduated ot Trinity College, Dublin, and took hich hopors for his B. A. in the same class with the Jyesent Bishop of Ontario, in the year 1843. He not liking his profession of civil Engineer, in which capacity he had been employed for some time Kingdom, he emigrated to_this country in the ear 1847. Almost immediately on his arrival iis wonderful capacity for business was discov- ered and he was at once appointed Treasurer of this Township, which office he has held ever since, with greot credit to himself and advan- tage to the Township. Though by no means wealthy when he came to this country, jo by honest industry and constant application to business he become possessed of some 500 acres of the best land in this township, and I understand is making preparation to build a splendid brick mansion, the brick for which are to be made on his own estate.
