U 1 14 ‘The average temperature during the past week has been higher and more conâ€" tinually so than for many years on this continent, and as a natural consequence the cases of sunstroke have enormously inâ€" ereased, In St. Louis there were 150 cases in one day, and 56 deaths. It is said there were 160 deaths in that city alone from sunstroke last week. In Chicago there were 20 intal cases in one day, while large numbers died in Cincinnatti, Louisville, and many other cities in the United States, the whole number of deaths reported amounting to several hundred. In our Canadian cities there wore many fatal cases, though not proportionally so high as in the United States. The odd feature of this account is that there should be so many attacks in a large city and so few in the open country. The farmers and their assistants must be at work directly under the rays of the sur, and the Leat of their Fodies is still furker augmented by the viclent exercise in which they gye comâ€" â€"â€"In an able article which appeared in a yrecent number of the Montreal Witness on the backward state of agriculture in Canada the writer suggests the following as means for remedying the evil which is felt by every intelligent person who gives any thought to the subject:â€"1. A thorâ€" ough course of study at an Agricultural College. 2 The careful reading of books wad periodicals on agriculture. 8. Popuâ€" lar lectures on the condition and wants of agriculture in every School Section. 4. The discussion of subjects connected with agriculture at agricultural eonventions to be convoned for the purpose. We would suggest the above to the Societios of Grangâ€" ers. By taking up this matter in earnest they would confer a lasting good upon the country. â€"The Hon. E. B. Chandler has been appointed Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick, in room of Hon.

Mr. Gladstone charactcrized it as an insane covenant, which no great English statesman of the last forty years would have signed, and the Hon. Mr. Forster takes the same ground against the policy of Earl Beaconsfield. There seems to be a growing impression among the British people that this apparâ€" ent victory which Earl Beaconsfield has just gained over Gorischakoff will only intenâ€" sify Russian ambition and Russian intrigue, and will lead to complications in the futura of m graver character than those which, for the present, have been disposed of. â€"The House of Assembly at Quebec has closed its labors, and we are happy to be able to inform the readers of the Reâ€" vizw that Mr. Joly‘s ministry is mere seâ€" curely settled in their seats than they were at the beginning of the Session.

Durham, July 25, 1878. THE HEATED TERM. The Intelligencer, a Tory protection ist journal, says :â€"There are now in Belleville three foundries, which do an extensive trade; one axe fictory, the best in Canada and one of the most extensive; five sash factories; two gristâ€"mills, and another in course of erection ; two furniture manufactories ; four sawâ€"mills; two cigar factories; four carâ€" riage manufactories; eight blacksmiths; three woollen mills; two breweries; four marble factories; one sewing machine facâ€" tory, whilst without the borders of the city are two large brick manufactories and also six sawâ€"mills, To this the Galt Reformer adds:â€"Belleville has heen made a city under the Reform regime, as has also Brantâ€" ford and St. Catherines, and there are cerâ€" tain other towns in Ontario which intend to be gazetted as cities under Mr. Macâ€" kenzie‘s administration. A very good way of going te the dogs, this, isn‘t it ? f Between one and two o‘clock on Saturâ€" day morning a Grand Trunk train going west, when a short distance east of Acton station, struck a woman named McAlpin, shoulders from the rest of the body. She had been drinking the night before, and a bottle containing liquor was found near the .| features determined upon and then the 1| different parts of the work are proceeded ; | with as cireunstances may permit. But . | our contemporary adds that it cannot unâ€" . | derstand why the township of Glenelg , | should be called upon to pay $20,000 to a _| road that does not even touch its borders. :; This is sinaply absurd, and requires no reâ€" . | ply, as all the ratepayers of Glenelg know .| what the Expositor should know, that a , | portion of the town of Durham lies within . | the municipality of Glenelg. ‘The Exposâ€" , | itor is filled with splecn, or otherwiso it would not have urged such nonsensical ; objections to this line of railway. It sees that in the near future when the town of ‘ | Durham wili have secured connection with ‘| the Great Western Railway that the farmâ€" ‘ | ers of (Glenelg will not be placed at the ‘\ merey of the buyers in the village of | Markdale, of produce, who have been for | | some years reaping a rich harvest out of ( the necessities of the people. Competiâ€" \\ tion will be established so that the farmers | will have the epportunity of selling at the |highest figure that can be obtained, and | buying at the lowest. We have already |referred to the great importance of this | proposed line of railway to the township | of Glenelg, and at present need only reâ€" | mind our readers that it secures connecâ€" tion with one of the leading lines of railâ€" way, uniform in gauge with the railway system of the Dominion, and that thus the entire produce of the farm can be conâ€" veyed to any part of the country, to the United States or the seaboard, without breaking bulk. This is a very important matter, and should not be lost sight of. There is no shrinkage of grain, there are no charges for transhipment, cattle and sheep are carried with safety and expediâ€" tion to their destination, and all this means that higher prices can be paid at Durham than at Markdale or any neighâ€" boring point on the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway. The municipalities lying between Glenelg and the Georgian Bay should lose no time in taking steps for the [pm'polo of securing immediate construcâ€" tion of the road to its dastination ; and the Expositor would show its patriotism by rdvoeating that lize of extension which| would best meet the intcrests of the counâ€" try, instead of betraying a sorail spirit of selfishness by throwing obstructions in the | way of the undertaking. Already bonuses | and stock to the amount of $140,000 have | been contributed, and we hops soon to be | able to inform our readers that the Comâ€"|‘ pany are in a position to go on with the| building of the road. We say, therefore, | © to the ratepayers of Glenelg, look to your|! interests and vote for the Byâ€"Law. I pelled to indulge. In the cities people can keep in the shade for the most part ; when they have occasion to move long distances they have recourse to the street cars, and they can obtain cooling drinks if required. Yet, with all these apparent advantages, men and women in St. Louis were stricken down even in their homes, and at their places of business. The heated air which sweeps over 1,000 miles of pramwie without any chance to become tempered by passing near a large body of water is one of the great objections to life in the West. Even as far north as Minnesota the breczo is often so hot that one is frequently relieved by getting behind a barn or house to keep out of the way of the wind. ‘The effects of heat under those conditions zre such as we have no experionce of in Canada, and it is therefore only after reflection that we can understand and credit the narration of disâ€" asters that comes from St. Leuis and other western points. The Globe Democrat says that there were few fatal cases which could not be traeed to the use of stimulants. The conviction has also forced itself on many minds, from the large number of Germans prostrated, that beer was hardly less danâ€" gerous than spirits. On the 20th of this month the ratepayâ€" ers of Glenelg will have the opportanity of recording their votes in favour of granting a bonus of $20,000 in aid of the Wellingâ€" ton and Georgian Bay Railway, which is proposed to be built from the town of Palmerston, on the Great Western R. R., through Mount Forest and Durham to some point on the Georgian Bay. The Markdale Expositor lhas taken up arms against this Byâ€"law, and in its issue of the 19th inst. denounces the scheme as a railâ€" way fraud and fissle, and grounds this strong denunciation on the fact that "the route of the railway is not actually defined farthcr than from Mount Forest to the town of Durham." ‘True, the route is not actually located, nor is it necossary that it should be. It will be quite time enough to locate the exact line for the last link of the road when the first and second are built or well on to completion. This is the way in which all great undortakings are carried on. First we have the leading YOTE FOR THE BYâ€"LAW. + t »a The Guelph gpo le are soon to vote on & firsâ€" protection y-&w. ; The bag and baggage policy of Mr. Gladâ€" 3 | stone has been oftâ€"times quoted, but only . | to lu'e ridiculed, especially by the Tories. 6, It is, however, curious to observe, how , | this notable utterance of the great Comâ€" .fi,] moner is being realizedâ€"not, perhaps, in h the way he intended, or even wished, but t in a sort of roundâ€"about> method peculiar g to his opponents, and specially peculiar to e Beaconsfield, the chief of the great Tory , |party. Since ever the great work of reâ€" , | form commenced in England the aristoâ€" 3 | cratic party, par excellence, have gradually awakened to the conviction that their only §. chance of power and party solidarity lay in c assuming the role of their opponents. § The late Earl of Derby was amongst the R first thoroughly to realise this condition of . |party affairs, and ably seconded by his 4 lieutenant. ‘Then Disraeli made up his o mind, backed by the bulk of his party, to q | take his famous "leap in the dark." Ultiâ€" s mately finding the Liberals "bathing," Disraeli "stole their clothes," and houseâ€" :Z hold suffrage in a sort of crooked way was % granted by a Tory Government. In many other ways since the clothes of the bathing Liberals have been trequently stolen and eut and carved into shape to do duty as Tory uniform. At the preseut time the Liberals are bathing in the cold shades of ;. | opposition, and the spirited foreign policy { | of the Tories is adapting itself to the stolen g | clothes. _ After all these months of bluster ;â€" | Lord Beaconsfield has set himsel{ to the is | work of peace and compromise at Berlin f | with such success that the integrity and .. | independence of the Ottoman Empire is o | simply amongst byâ€"gone things. Bosnia, e | Herzegovina, Servia, Roumania and Bulâ€" is | garia have been carved ‘out of the rotten e | Empire, and if in some cases & kind of a [â€" | quasi nominal sovercignty is left, still the is | great fact remains that the bag and bagâ€" e | gage policy of Mr. Giadstone has been d | practically adopted. _ ‘To manifest still o | farther the rottonness of the Turkish Emâ€" t | pire and the correctness of the Gladstoniâ€" it | an theory all through this miserable conâ€" h | troversy the great Tory radieal, Beaccusâ€" f | fiold, by the convention with Turkey, virâ€" e | tually admits the incompatibility of Turkâ€" is | ish with sovereign power. There is someâ€" s | thing smart in the way that Earl Beaconsâ€" g | field has hoodwinked Russia and the other e | members of Congress; still it is only hoodâ€" d | winking. Mr. Gladstone could not have t| done this, and would rot if he could. â€" | English statesmanship will not gain in the g| long run by any such process. However, & | there is a gloss of cleverness about it that i. | will secure and increase the popularity of â€"| Beaconsfield among the "by jingo" class w | of people. For many years by gone Engâ€" i | land has justly prided herself on the straightâ€" i | forward, disinterested character of her â€" | foreign diplomacy. Such pride is no longâ€" t| er her possession,. What she has attained ]| by eunning is more than balanced by hor s | loss in moral prestigo. However crooked. {| the diplomacy of other nations might be, i | they had every confidence in England â€" | holding a straight course. ‘This confidence e | is now gone. ‘The quiet influence of Engâ€" {| land hitherto has done much to straighten r | the crooked ways of European diplomacy. {| Now by one stroke of the pen this influâ€" â€" | ence for good is lost and juggling statecraft s | is onee more in the ascendant. Will those | who profess to admire Earl Beaconsfteld‘s 1| statesimmanship remember that their admiâ€" / | ration of his crooked policy implies that i | they themselyes prefer crooked ways to )| straight 2â€"implies that in their friendly | dealings with each other they prefer taking ~] advantage of & friend‘s confidence rather + | than secure and increase that confidence ? ‘| Uunprincipled and thoughtless mon may [ talk about the smartness, cleyerness or | statesmanship exhibited by Earl Beaconsâ€" | field in framing this conyention, but after | all it is only a very poor exhibition of cunâ€" | ning, and affords one other instance of the |juggling propensities through which, step | by step, Earl Beaconsfield has attained his |present position of power and succoss. We have no hositation in saying that this | convention is and will yet prove an awkâ€" | ward affair for England, and if we expect thereby to avoid conflict with Russia on the Eastern question we greatly mistake ourselves. In the first place, Russia finds herself outflanked in her own special line of erooked diplomacy, and she will doubtâ€" less watch for her opportunity. In the| next place, England takes upon herself | the responsible impossibility of upholding | Turkish integrity in Asia, which, sooner or |â€" later, will bring about the collission it is now intended to avoid. War with Russia| al present was in any case needless, but | had Beaconsfield taken the straightforward | comvwe of going to war with Russia now | to drive her back to her former boundaâ€"| ries, there woula have been considerable |! chanee of suecess in Kussia‘s present conâ€"|] dition, and we would not have been left a |! legasy the compound payment of which|‘ may not be so very easily settled. War is |â€" presently avoided, and the seeds of future|! disturbance largely sown. Had the formâ€"|t er boeon accomplished without the latter we would cheerfully have acceded to Beaconsâ€" |© field the highest qualities of a statesman. | " That it was in his power to do so without t compromising any real English intercst, | t eannot, wo think, be disputed. That 1 Gladstone would have set himself to reaâ€"|® lize this object ha1 he been in Beaconsâ€"|" field‘s place, and that he would have acâ€" : complished it, need not be doubted. The 7 only difference is that Beaconsfield must| / wind up the thing with a gloss of glory | without regard to future effects and enâ€" n tanglements, while Gladstone would have | 4 strenuously endeavored to do his dutyâ€"to | ¢ do what was right both for the highest inâ€"| C terests of his country and the {interests of mankind in the other countries concerned. | _ Which of the two men is worthy the title :I of statesman is very easy to comprehend ; U and while William Ewart Gladstone may | 4, not recommend himseif to the sympathies | ... of "by jingo" partisans, he is still looked z upon as the largeâ€"hearted, largeâ€"minded St statesman to which the great heart of| ; E‘nshnd will yet turn when the day of diâ€" 2 omatic jugglery and crooked policy , Bouk hozio.

An editorial by my friend, the * | bulk of which we endorse, but like Phipps 6 and Colby, McPherson excepted, in sheir * protection versus free trade, do not actuâ€" ally lie, but stop short of telling the truth 8| to answer a purpose. He says the time *\ was when a few storekeepers, Division AlCourt Bailiffs, and mortgagees was conâ€" A| sidered to hold the conscience of the elecâ€" $\ tors in their pocket; but, Sir, he stops 4 | short of giving ecredit to whom ecredi$ is due ; his candid mind does not wish to let * | the poor people of this country know who | are not able to buy or read the literature ®lof the day for themselves, but take for *) granted what a soâ€"called philosopher 8 | might say, could not be incorrect; but to 3| the bitter chagrin of him and & good many 8 | more of the sort he mentions, the Governâ€" !| ment of the day has given a death blow to " | all such men and aespicable actions. But *\ there are some amongst us who will reâ€" ‘ | collect a lank, lean figure with anxious and 8 | despairing look standing by the poll booth *\ door not one hundred miles out of Durâ€" ham, with a large bundle of papers undor " | his arm. What were these, think you but Title Deeds of cortain refractory electors who were hoarded up for yoars for a purâ€" ° | pose and did yeoman duty on an occasion * | of this kind, the ignorant creatures being led to understand that the sum of $2 had a | to be paid to the agent for the trouble he | had been at in getting them, and, in some â€" | cases, a charge of four or five dollars was made ; but if you will vote for=â€"â€"â€"â€" you e | can have them for nothing. An instance ; |ofeven a worse nature came under my 1 | own personal observation, if worse could g | be, and was a means of putting a stop for a time to such despicablo imposition. A j most respected gentleman of our aequaintâ€" ance, who took up land for himsel{ and ' sons in the township of G., we shall say, y but who was somewhat refractory towards , | the powers that were, did the settlement duties and made aflidavit to the same, paid s' the reserves, called for his deed for three | or four years, but reasons were plenty. 1 | A proffered my services as I had some lrnsf-) ness in Toronto, interviewed the Commisâ€"| f sioner, Vancouglmet, who, after examinâ€"| ;_ ing the records, found no returns made of} either money or aflidavits, but would see | ‘| to the case, and he might expect his deeds 4j in afew weeks. I then enquired what C right, if any, agents had to charge various _| sums for those deeds. He looked aghast at such a question, and said they had no ‘}right, but must be ignorant people or they | | would send their roturns to him direct, and ‘ | they could have them direct without even | the charge of postage. Of course, Sir, | such disclosures must be paid in kind, and [ I had my reward. â€" And now I would wish |to inform my fellow clodâ€"hoppers that there is still a lurking desire in certain quarters to impose upon them, but depend | upon it, be ye Conservative or Grit, if you| |have business or a grievance, lay it imâ€" mediately before the Department in your own simple and honest way, and your case will be dealt with with the respect of the | | noblest of the land. A case in point I conâ€"| sider necessary to relate. It may be corâ€"| rect or it may not, but if any one has had | expo:ience of such a case I wish they would let me know and I will make that ' | use of it it deservos. It must be generally |‘ known that the present Provincial Governâ€" |â€" ment considered the most of the lands| sold by the late Government were really | sold at too high a price and appointed valâ€" l t uators to reâ€"value tho lands in certain counties. In most cases the goyernment| lands were much reduced, but sehool lands | sould not be reduced, but one third the inâ€" | terest is deducted. Now, Sir, a farmer in |‘ Sullivan, I am told, applied to an agent t for his patent. Of course he understood i that he should get it at the reduced rate,|1 but was told there was no reduction. He| 1 then applied to an M. P. P. to interceed |* for him, who got his deed for him at what | it ought to be. But one may not have a|#4 friendly M. P.

It he cannot porâ€" ceive the point of difference othors can. The foliowing is a quotation of his from letter 6th :â€"*"The foe of old paths is true to his name when he makes the sweering assertion that believing is the same thing as having." "Old Paths‘ Foe" never said anything of the kind. I have heard of persons becoming so nddicted to misrepâ€" resont others that they could scarcely sink to pordifion under such tuition. 1 have talked with some such. They are satisfied to regulate their lives by Old Paths‘ standard. "Oh," say they, "we have faith in God, and no doubt be finolly saved, although we have no assurance of being reconciled to God, and it is likely we never will have such assurance, for we scarcely believe in it." Will Old Paths guarantce the final salvation of such? Whether he does or not, many are relying upon his standard, viz., "I am safe and don‘t know it." To me it seems like the teaching of one whom we may might imagine had instructed Shem, Noah‘s son, thus: "There is no need of your going into the ark : there is a board upon which your toe can rest and a rope to hang on by. Grab, hang on, you are perfactly safe ; look at the majesty of the elemonts. Take your time, don‘t get excited, you can go into the ark by and by;" but how would it be if there happened a sudden lurch of the ark and Shem was dropped into the watery elements, or that God had came and shut the rest of the family in, leaving them out? Surcly it would be mad presumption for him to remain outâ€" side whon the command was to enter in In like manner the Galt Evangelists taught us that Christ was our ark, that out of Him there was no safety, and that all who are in Him are safe and know it ; for "He dwelleth with them and shall be in them." "Old Paths" is very much elated, I showed that he was misrepresenting the Galt Laymen when he asserted that GIIOY‘ taught that faith and assurance were the same thing. I likewise showed the simiâ€" larity of their teachings with that of the Saviour. I also asserted that Old Paths must be the mental lusus wature he insinâ€" ustes the Galt laymsn to be. Of Plyâ€" mouthism, I hbave nothing to say. Old Paths may send all the adherents of that system to Hades if he can. My purpose is to defend the Galt Evaugelists, I conâ€" sider them to be mon of faith and prayerâ€" men of Godâ€"holy men. Six bester men never blessed Durkara and its vicinity by their visit. They live in the hearts of many in Durham and adjacont section of country, because God used them as inâ€" struments in His hands to bring them from the gaul of bitterness and bonds of iniquity into the liberty of the children of God. We look upon thera as our spiritual fathers, and look upon all their foes as ours. We have a right to defend them: we are bound by the most sacred ties to defend them : we would be ingrates of the worst kind did we not defend them. Ah! what have they not done for us? Here we were, lulled to sleep, rocked into quie« tude, set at ease by such watchmen on Zion‘s walls as "Old Paths" represents erying pesce when there was no peace. In letter 5th "Old Paths" says "a man may be safe and yet he may not know it." Safe although he may not know it? Yes, safe under the influence of the Devilâ€"safe on the road to hell! Many of our pastors would frin make us believe we wore all right when we had never been bornu again â€"never regenerated, never male new ereatures, never adopted into God‘s famâ€" ily, never realized the wituess of the epirâ€" it, and know as litte about real vital godâ€" liness and that assurance which springs from a knowledge of sins forgiven as a Hottentot. He that is sate in the arms of Jesus knows it. He that is born of God knows it, He that is regenerate by the spiris of God knows it. HMe that has the earnest of his inkeritance knows it. He whose sins are forgiven by God knows it. He that is justified is instantancously reâ€" generated and has the witness within himâ€" self and knows it.

Charles Hodge, late Profossor of Theology at Princeton, who died recent ly, was born in Philadelphia in 1797. He early in life distinguished himself as a vigâ€" orous writer and thinker. â€" In 1820 he was appointed Assistant Professor of Biblic:] Literature in Prinecton College, and about the same time became Editor of the Prince ton Review, a periodical which has been chicefly indebted to Dr. Hodge for the grent influence which it has exercised in the higher departments of ecclesiastical literaâ€" ture. â€" The New York Observer says of him that "As a writer in theological, ethical and ccclesiastical discussion, Dr. Hodge was easily ai the head of all his contempoâ€" rares in those fields. And the distinguishâ€" ing grace of his writings was their exqui> site clearness. No one was at a loss to know what he believed. what he intonded C ConArenie _ To 4 "Tid Kky was, *"the Saviour places no difference ;», point of time between belioving and having." L would never teach men that believing way the same thing as having ; The Galt Evay. gelists never taught such false theology us that. â€" But Old Paths contradicts himself, for he first holds me up to ridicule for say» ing that belioving is having, and then i. 1E Oe P mt EERARee REE "ap TV PRECIHE for sty. ing that belioving is having, and then i4 assorts it is the same in tho following qnoâ€" tation, letter 6th:â€"*"‘To the extont thay eternal life means pardon, justification, if is true believing is having." Now, if 1 nm true to my name for arying believing is having, what is Old Paths when he delib» erately reiterates it as true? But 1 did not make snch an assertion ; so the inforâ€" ence to be drawn is that Old Paths, the newspaper letter writer, is a foo to the old paths of truth. â€" Any one who asserts that believing is having is taking a new depor. ture, and trying to form a new path, He is running into the same ostrich theology for which he donounces the men of Gal#, when he represents them as saying what they did not say, (Letter 5th), "Believe that you are saved and you are saved." They represented believing and having as two things, and nlso, that there was no difference in point of time between beliey. ing and having, in proof of which they quoted many passages like the follow m,;'; "He that believeth hath everlast g lite," To assert that "believing is haÂ¥ing" is something similar to assert to a drow ning man, who had no provided means to say, himeelf. *Take courage, believe thit you are saved and you are saved." The poor fellow might have a fickeriny hope for an instant and look around anticipatiny some provided means, but the flash of hope would soon give wary to the wail of des. pair. â€" But let the speaker shoot ou a boat to the reseue of the drownis while he shouts "take courage, t I‘ll save you." The drowning »n trusts or believes, and second} saved. Such illustrations, of cour naturally be impertect in some of ticulars, but we can nevertheless that believing or trusting 1s a very thing from being saved under the stances pictured ; but Old Pat] have us believe that they are t thing when applied to spiritual m Yours as formerly, Oup Parus The Late Dr. Hodge.
