All four plead« ed guilty and kindly yet firinly Mr. Telford pointed out to the boys the gravity of their offence, and the necesâ€" sity of turning from such practices. The boys are all under 16, likely looking fellows to make good citizens, and it is i to be hoped this experience, judiciously used by parents and others will lead to better things. Barrister McCaal apâ€" peared for the two Volletts, Fuiton and Hartford being untrepresented. _ He asked that no sentence be imposed on }a.ocount of their youth, He lamented the example and conduct of evyen older boys on the street. _ The magistrate took a lenient view, being a first offence, and they were allowed off on suspended sentence, full restitution to be made to Mrs. Beggs forthwith and payment of costs incurred.

BrEror® TtH® MAGisTRATE,â€"The four boys charged with stealing money from the tilliof Mrs. Beggs‘ store were, at the In 1853 Commodore Perry of the United States with ships and guns called to ask nr rather demand an opening for trade. Before his time only 3 Dutch ships once a year were allowed to call. Porry‘s diplomacy aided by his big guns in the background, secured a treaty, then the other powers wanted similar favors, and there was lia to be ‘a reyâ€" vlution over the breaking of the rule of the Shogunate. In 1808 the fall of this ; body took place and the Emperor was acknowledged head of Japan. This wasthe titleof an address given by Rev. Mr. Farquharson before the Guild on Monday last. The addaress from beâ€" ginning to end was full of interesting and instructive matter showing great research into all available authorities, and was worthy of a larger aundience than a wellâ€"filled basement. This rule continued for 250 years, and it was part of their deliberate policy to kee J‘;pan free from contamination witg all foreigners and trading with other nations strictly prohibited. Even a coast mariner, blown by conâ€" trary winds say to the Corean shores, was looked upon with suspicion when he came back. He began by showing that Japan had a corporate existence, centuries before the birth of Christ, that the Royal famiâ€" ly of Japan was the oldest in the world, and pointed out parallels to the early history of Britain and Europe while yet the Roman Empire held sway. A specâ€" ies of Feudalism grew un in Japan after centuries of worship of the Emperor as the Son of Heaven, and this held sway till 1608, though before this internal strife comparable to the Fnglish "Wars of the Roses " prepared tne way for adâ€" vance. In 1603 a great leador arose who took the title of Shogun, and the body of men, who under him ruled in the name of the emperor, often a mere child, was called the * Shogunate. " The Evolution of Japan. ONTARIO ARCHIV f TORONTO t Not being able to k the tide of foreigners, they zp mnlm 10 learn from them in all &aticnhru and that they bhave done so in the reaims of peace and war is very evident. The stimulus of foreign intercourse is noticeâ€" able too in their population which has nearly doubled since 1853 and they are incrwinf mure rapidly than most naâ€" tions. +«Illustrations wef:"'lven to show that they were surprisin ‘{ apt as imiâ€" tators with u’mrp:mng ubitity to adapt the best of everything to their own use Mr K. then entered on an analysis of Japanese character which was feeling the infinence of modern civilization : a comumon bond, yet with individual freeâ€" dom. . Complete subjection to the sState was placed before all other claims, & temper of sterm obedience to law ga.ig:d Ese e ts Nedes o P a footing even yet noticeable. The Japanese mind was naturally suspicious, crookedness was a mark of their charâ€" acter, yet no nation could hide their feelings under an immobility of feature like the Japanese. Their code of bhonor led to strange freaks. one of the most gruesome being the practice of selfâ€"destruction by disâ€" embowelling, " hariâ€"kari," vet evyen this cultivated a sternness ‘of individual temper which in children was fostered by sending them to sepulchres at ghostâ€" iy hours. This temper and training has destroyâ€" ed all the tenderness which associates itself with lovemaking in western lands, the language bas no personal pronoun, but instead has some fantastic salutaâ€" tions, " honoritics" and " humilitics, " a species of depreciation of self and apâ€" precistion of others which is purely formal. s The Japs are successful imitators rather than inventors. ;Buddhism, Conâ€" fucianisin and character writing bhave . been borrowed from the Chinese, but all have been improved. . They are lax in morals and ignore what we in some‘ rases would call ordinary decency. One third of all the murri»igeo are followed: by divorces, and the Emperor at least bhas nsgecies of _ concubinage. This is being thrown off however, The very frequent occurience of seismic and other natural convulsions in Japan has led to a sort of fatalism, which the speaker hoped would, along with other weakâ€" nesses bedispelled by the light of the gospel and the power of the cross, Another of the pioneers of this disâ€" 1r‘ct is numbered with the dead. Mr. N~1 MceCallum of Mulock, died on Mouday morning last, Feb. 27, at the age of 73 years, For about a year the deceased has been failing, and the ead came gradually, but we have not heard at this writing if there was any immedâ€" inte cause. _ He was a man of principle and integrity and will be sincerelx mourned by many besides his own famâ€" ily circle. Heleaves as chief mourners, his widow, two sons, John in the North Wesc and Dougald at home, four daughâ€" ters ; Mrs Philifis. Owen Sound, l;‘rs, Chaudebeaux, B. C., and Mary and Elizabeth at home. 1t will be rememâ€" bared that a little over a year ago a son and broiher Hugbh, met a sad death by drowniog. John McCallaom, exâ€"deputy reeve and wellâ€"known in Bentinck is a brother of deceased, another being Dufald, of Che{:nne, Col.

The Annual meeting of the Darham Furniture Company, â€" Limited, was bela on Friday night last when a goodly number of shareholders were present to listen to the Auditors‘ report and for the election of offisers for the coming year. The factory has been in cperation for the past five years and it is gratiâ€" fying to see that good progress is being made. Although the Company does not see is way clear to pay a dividend, yet the capital is being maâ€" teriallxsincrcased. During the year warc stt JPE CTMIUUE CAE 98 > ~~ ... $50,000 and considering that the facâ€" tory was closed tor over 2 months, this is remarkably good showing. The Net Profits for the vear were $3138.34, As the Company is, no donbt, good hands, we may ijook forward good results in the tutureâ€"Com. The books of the Company were carefully audited by Messrs. Mclntosh & Koch and a full report was handed to the Directors and others who wished to ha ;e it. Mr MelIntosh was present at the meeting and explained the reâ€" report to the satisfaction of all. Wm. Calder, who clzimed to be the largest stockâ€"holder, seemed to be looking over the statement for some missing link, but his efforts were fruitless as the Directors and Auditors were able and willing to explain everything to him to his satisfaction. Mr Laidlaw, although not a stockâ€" holder, was on hand to giye some adâ€" vice in regard to town luan. As the general feeling of the people seemed to be that they were together as memâ€" bers of a Company, they did not pay much attention to the speaker‘s reâ€" marks, which would have been more appropriate in a meeting of the Town Council than in that of the Farniture Company. f The meetinog went along smoothly and everyone seemed to be well pieased with the condition of the Comâ€" pany‘s affairs, ww hen it came to the election of officers several additional names were added for Directors. Howâ€" ever all but the last years‘ Board ard Mr Calder withdrew and then it apâ€" peared as if some trouble was on hand. Mr A W H Lauder, not being as anxâ€" ious as some others for the position, willingly resigned and so the Board for the present year will be composed of the four members of last years‘ Board, viz : Dr Jamieson, N MciIntyre, J W Crawford and Geo Sparling and in addition Mr Wm Calder.
