F\ expenditure so that the deficiency in reveâ€" nue will be met without placing additional burthens on the country. The true policy is to keep down expence as much as possible ; to make this a cheap country to live in and then to sell our surplus produce and manuâ€" enue. Owikng &o the depression in trade «luring the past year the dities on imports .came far short of previous years, and it is well for the conntry, at large, that this reâ€" aluction in imports has been made. It is generally admitted that imports have been too large for several years, and that a good «leal of depression was caused by forcing lergey stocks on traders than the business of the.country warranted. Insteadof inâ€" ondn‘tbohmonthpoph.lr.Cm-‘ wright wisely determines to reduce the It was generally anticipated that the Fiâ€" nmanee Minister would be compelled to inâ€" crease the &ntiies on ‘importsin conseqnence chitlse faliing off in reveune owing to fimâ€" imished imports. Merehants were so conâ€" fident of this that they paid duties on all goods in bond previous to the expected advance, and duriug the past week a very large amount has been paid into the Cusâ€" tom House. But Mr. Cartwright has again j disappointed expectations in this respect and made very little cliange in the tariff Roeâ€" Aned oil has been reduced, and the people will now be able to purchase it at a ressonâ€" able price. © Two conts per Ib. has been put .xpou:tea, but this will have very littie efâ€" eet on *the price. ‘The other changes are of a very trifiing character. Mr. Cartwright «very properly rafuses to increase the tares .«of the people any more than is actually necessary for the purpose of raising a revâ€" the enterprise by repcating old slanders against the officials and their management. Now if there is any subject which should be treated without political feeling it is the medel sehool. The present Goveramentis not responsible for its establishmont or sucâ€" £ess. If farmers do not take advantage of «#fus school, as is alleged, surely the Governâ€" méxt is not to blame. Mr. Lauder, in the »â€"«itbate the other evening, said that there had not been s single student sent from the County ofGzey to the model farm. Now if this were &Â¥ue it would reflect more upon the farmers of.Grey than any other parties ; Mr. Wood put the matter very clearly when he told the House that the prosent staff of teachers would be aufficient for double the numher of pupils at present in atteadance, and that it would be better to provide accomâ€" modation for more, when the expense would not be increased. The College is only‘capable of accommodating some forty pupits at present, and it is proposed to erect another wing to the building so as to nake room for forty more. We think that every ne should take an interest in an experiâ€" ment of this kind, and encourage farmers to send their sons to the college soas to get instruction inimproved methods of farming, rotation of crops, the right kinds of manâ€" ure to use, draining and taking care of Reiiitns ) ies Aussiccsolenm Animsamd sochcccd d but we know . at least one young man from the County of Grey who has attended the Agrieultural Callege. The institution offers great inducements to farmers to send theip sons to it to get instruction, and so far from there being a dearth of pupils it is found that there are twice as many appliâ€" eants as can boe accommodated at present. ‘ Mmenee mCt thing in their power to injure it in the estimation of the public. Whenever an npproprintion is asked for by the Governâ€" ment to increase the accommodation or to supply the institution with the necessary stock and implements for carrying on the work of instruction, the members on the opposition side of the House make all sorts of objections, and endeavor to discourngo‘ sys c â€" noud en ns Echekid. It is admitted on all hands that the establishment of this farm is an experiâ€" ment which may not. prove successful, but the Legislature having determined to enter npon a trial of it, should certainly endeavor to make the trial as thorough ns possible. K would be very foolish to spend a large vimotnt of money on purchasing a farm ‘ *»d buildings, and then to allow the enterâ€" prise to fall through without making further efforts to testthe benefits of the institution.

Mr. May and a number of néighbors went to work at once to get out the stock and furniture, as it was apparent from the first that the building could not be saved, : About all the furniture, stoves, etc., in the lower rooms.were got out, but most of the bedsteads, and some of the bedding was burned up. The stables and out buildings were with difficulty saved, and would certainly have been burned, having caught fire several times, but the roofs at the commencement of the fire were covered with wet snow, and rain fallâ€" ing at the time. Mr. May took «posscssion of an empty house on the opposite cornér, and at once moved what things were saved into it, out of the rain. The building was put up about eight years ago, which was opened as an hotel, called the Dundalk Hotel, and since then two large additions have been added, the log portion hewed, and the whole house lathed and plastered inside and out, and since the railway was built had a large call.

He indignantly de; nied gll the acensations made against Mr, Beott by the rebels. *He got at his papers and found his certificate from the Presbyâ€" terian Church, of which be was a member, which showed him to be in good standing: Biel had decided to make an example of two men, to prove that he was in earnest.
