T: ~PHE DJURHAM REVIEW 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 vzwtaed siumilar favors, and there was like to be a reyâ€" ulution 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. BrEror® tu® MacitstRATE,.â€"The four boys charged with stealing money from the till'ft‘ Mrs, Beggs‘ store were, at the arockiaBtn Ebaiassmmrmer vx7 TP ones. annmin zt "brought before Police Magistrate Telâ€" ford on Friday last. The sum stolen was about $5.00 and $3.50 had been returned, the rest haying been spent in cigarettes, candies, &co, before the theft was traced home. All four pleadâ€" 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 to be hoped this experience, judiciously used by parents and others will lead to better things. Barrister McCaal apâ€" peared for the two Volletts, Fuilton and Hattford being unrepresented. _ He asked that no sentence be imposed on account of their youth, He lamented the example and conduct of even older boys on the street. _ The magistrate took a lenient view, being a first offence, and they were allowed off on suspended sentence, full restituation to be made to Mrs. Beggs forthwith and payment of costs incurred. Even a coast mariner, blown by conâ€" trary winds say to the Corean shores, was looked upon with suspicion when he came back. This rule continued for 250 years, and it wastmt of their deliberate policy to keep Japan free from contamination witg all foreigners and trading with other nations strictly prohibited. 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. " 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 Jap;m 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. This wasthe titleof an address given by Rev. Mr. Farquharson before the Guild on Monday last. The adaress 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 andience than a wellâ€"filled basement. Principal Allan is working away but not feeling very well following the anxious time he bhad during the illness of his son Arthur, who is now recoverâ€" ing, though rlowly. Rev Mr Masson is under the weather this week and was unable to take his appointments on Sunday last, _ Mrs Brown,â€" of near Hanovyer, was visiting her mother, Mrs Mcintosh, Upâ€" per Town, who is recovering from her jlluess. Word has been received from Allister Gordon, Milestone, Assa., that on the 15th inst, it was 40° below zero, whiile a week later it was ideal June weather. Capt. O. M. Snider, of Hampden, was in town Tuesday eyening and begins toâ€"day, Wednesday, his big task of asâ€" sessing Normanby under the New Act. He begins at Mr David McCrie‘s and goes right to Mt. Forest. Mr R MacFariane, Sr., is still confined to the house, but holding his own and we expect to see him around soon. Mr and Mrs Alex, Bell, parents of Mi Allan Bell, agent, have given up farmâ€" ing. and are moving into tewn, having bougbht a residence on Countess St. Mr. Hugh McKinnon, Basswood, Man., came homedlast week and gave us a call on his way to Toronto, where he is to undergo an operation: of a sumple nature.

ONTARIO ARCHIVE f TORONTO Another of the pioneers of this disâ€" Ir‘ct is numbered with the dead. _ Mr. N~1 MeCallum 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 end came gradually, but we Enve not heard at this writing if there was any immedâ€" inte cause. He was a man of principle and integrity and will be sincerely mourned by many besides his own fam. ily circle. He leaves as chief mourners, his widow, two sons, John in the North Wesc and Dougald at home, four daughâ€" ters; Mrs Philips, Owen Sound, Mrs, Chaudebâ€"aux, B. C., and Mary and Elizabeth at home. 1t will be rememâ€" bared that a httle over a year ago a son and broiher Hugh, met a sad death by drowning. John McCallam, exâ€"deputy reeve and wellâ€"known in Bentinck is a brother of deceased, another being Dugald, of Obe{:nne. Col. The remains glf_ho buried Latona cemeterey an The meeting 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€" everall but the last years‘ Board anrd Mr Calder withdrew and then it apâ€" peared as if some trouble was on hand. Mr A W H Lauder, not being as anxâ€" lous 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 MceIntyre, J W Crawford and Geo Sparling and in addition Mr Wm Calder. As the Company is, no donbt, in good lhands, we may iook forward to good results in the tutureâ€"â€"Com. fNot. being abll; to keep m ’:?e tide of foreigners, they set yes 10 learn from them in all E.nicnhra and that they bave done so in the realms 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 iucreuinf mure rapidly than most naâ€" g:mn. h-Il ustrations 'm':p: to .:wi' at they were su n as imiâ€" tators m’th & surp:m':g uhÂ¥lity to adapt the best of everything to their own use Mr K. then entered on an analysis of Japanese character which was feeling the mfinence of modern civilization : a common bond, yet with individual freeâ€" dom, â€" Complete subjection to the state was placed before all other claims, &A temper of stern obedience to law gained PR e e e e enc o o t wes a footing even yet noticeahle. 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. Mr Laidlaw, although not a stockâ€" holder, was on hand to give 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 Counecil than in that of the Farniture Company. a Their code of bhonor led to strange freaks. one of the most gruesome being the practice of selfâ€"destruction by disâ€" embowelliog, * hariâ€"kari," yvet even this cultivated x sternness ‘of individual temper which in children was fostered by sending them to sepulchres at ghostâ€" iy hours. This temper ard training bhas destroyâ€" ed all the tenderness which associates itself with lovemnking in western lands, the lavguage bas no personal pronoun, but instead has some fantastic salutaâ€" tions, " honorifics" and " humilitics, " a speciea of depreciation of self and apâ€" precistion of others which is purely formal. % 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. The Annual meeting of the Darham Furniture Company, 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 officers 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 iis way clear to pay a dividend, yet the capital is being maâ€" teriall&increased. During the year varg B UrtAmMIUU C enmmraettvrae sw .. .. $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, The books of the Company were carefully audited by Messrs. Mclntosh & Koch and a faull report was handed to the Directors and others who wished to ha ;e it. Mr MeIntiosh was present at the meeting and explained the reâ€" report to the satisfaction of all. The Japs are successful imitators rather than inventors. ;Buddhism, Conâ€" fucianisim and character writuung have been borrowed fromm 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 alt the murringgu are followed: by divorces, and the Emperor at least bas nsgecies of _concubinage. This is being thrown off however, The very frequent occurrence 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 be dispelled by the light of the gospel and the power of the cross.
