92 0 [1 i 4 â€"For several years, some halfâ€"dozen ministers of the Presbyterian Church in Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland, who could not see their way clear to going in with their brethren in forming a union with the other Presby teriar. churchâ€" es in this country, have bean soliciting the aid of the civil courts to giving them conâ€" trol of the moneys arising out of the settleâ€" ment of the Clergy Reserves. The case was first tried before Mr. Justice Tette, of one of the Superior Courts of Quebee, and disâ€" missed with costs. An appeal was taken, and asimlar decision has been recently given by the Court of Queon‘s Bench. ‘The malâ€"contearts have now apperled to the Privy Council. The case has so far turned «on the right of the Quebec Legislature to pass an Act dealing wtth a Church Society which was incorporated by an Act of the old Canadian Parliament. Chief Justice Dorion held that questions of "Property and Civil Rishts" are among the questions coming under the jrrisdiction of the Local Legiâ€"latures under the British North American Aet, and therefore that the reâ€" peal of the former act lay within the comâ€" petence of t! _ Provineiall Legislature, ‘ns alsothe disposition of the fund known as the Temporalities Fund. This week is observed in London, Engâ€" land, as the centenary week of the estabâ€" lishment of Sabbath Schools. About this time one hundred years ago Robert Raikes, a newspaper aditor in the city of Gloucester served that "on Sunday the streets were filled with a multitude of wretches, who, having no employment on that day, spent their time in noise and riot, playing at chuck, and cursing and ‘swearing." To check this profanation of the Sabbath he engaged four women, at one shilling each, per day,to instruct as many children as he could send them, in Scripture knowledge, and in a short time a short time a marked improvement was‘visible in Sabbath obâ€" servance in the streets of Gloucester. Numerous sehools were formed on the same model in many of the towns ih England, and in London a society was organized in 1785 for the establishment of Sunday Sehools throughout ths Kingdom wliich in a few years expended $20,000 in the payâ€" ment of teachers. However, in 1809 the voluutary principle was introduced, as reâ€" gards teaching, to the great improvement of the school and the securing ‘of & higher und more efficient class of teachers. It is waid that in the County Down, Ireland, Sunday â€" Schools existed before their institution in agland, and on the aut_ori ty of the late Dr. Guthrie it is said that they were in operation ia the town of Elgin, Scorland, at a still eerlier date. However, it is angquestionable that the rise and rapid progress of the Sunday Sehool movement in the latter part of the last century and the early part of the present one is to be attriâ€" buted outively to the energy and Cliristian pbilanthropy of Robert Raikes. The Rev. Pr. Potts, of the Methodist Chueeh, Toronâ€" to, speaking the other day of the infaence of Sabbath Schools, gave the following inâ€" In Canada, Sunday Schools 5,400, teachâ€" ers 41,713, scholars 340,170. _ United EStates, Sunday Schools 82,261, teachers 898 328, scholars 6,628,124. *‘ The following statisties were no doubt the same as were presonted at the Raikes‘ echtenary at London on Jane 28th : 1;Eng!land and Wales, ‘eachers 422,250, scholare $,800,000.

The Member for Northampton has sudâ€" denly become tamons. Elected, as a Libâ€" eral by a large majority, at the late generâ€" al election, he presented himself on the assembling of the House of Commons to take his seat. _ An objection, however, stood in the way, â€" The rules of the House require every member before taking his seat to swenr on the true faith of a Chrisâ€" tian that he will observe the requirements of the oaths of allegiance and supremacy, with the exception of Quakers and Morayâ€" ians who are allowed to affirm, and Jews, wheo mays@mit the words "on the true faith of a Christian." But Mr. Bradlaugh is an atheist, or a very pronounced type, who is not couteut with simply holding what views he may have formed about fuith and imâ€" mortality but parades his contempt for the religious beli¢fs which hold sway among lus follow countrymen. He, therefore, reâ€" fused to take the oath, and as a matter of course could not be allowed to take his seat. In vain did he protest that the oath was not in the slightest degree binding on his conscience, that his not taking the oath could not legally prevent his taking the seat, and claimed as his right a seat in the House by virtue of the votes of his constitâ€" nents. The House aftiera long discussion deslared that he could neither be allowed to take the oath or affirm, and ordered his sjection from the House. Mr. Bradlaugh resisted, and finally promised to take the oath in its entirety. But this miserable exhibition of all want of moral sense made the majority more resolute, and Mr. Bradâ€" laugh was committed to the Clock Tower of the House of Commons, from which however he was released on the fullowing day. During the discussion Mr. Gladstone stated that the course pursued was illegal, and, although at first, his Government reâ€" frained from making the question a party one, subsequently Mr. Gladstone announeâ€" ed that he would move, that members might affirm who claimed to do so. This will no doubt receive the support of the Hounse, and thus, a question which has ocâ€" casionally agitated the British House of Commons for the last hundred years, will be laid at rest.

And in so doing we would suggestto them that their only salvation lies in making the demands on the townships as light as posâ€" sible. While the townships have to pay taxes for nine years more on the old bonâ€" uses, it is not likely that they will consent to vote heavy new ones. The Company will have to content themselves with light bonuses or none at all. â€" Artemesia would have voted a heavy bonus compared with what most of the other townships would have done, so that the bondholders hac better ponder seriously over the experience they have had and govern themselves acâ€" cordingly. f Local and other Items, The .barns »and oltbnilding; on io the forencon.â€" Clt:;'o}d Arrow Mcettsos.â€"A series of special Apout two weeks an old man 70 years of age, named John Grey, of Enphrasia ‘ township, left home, feeling unwell.

The horses took fright, and ran violently down the hill. Miss Thompson jumaped out, and strange to say was unhurt; but the buggy coming in contact with a stump, was smashed to pieces, and the doctor thrown violently omlhis head. He lay for some time quite insensible after the accident,and reesived a bad contusion, but was otherwise uninjured. He is now rapidly recovéring. But the injury might have been a serious one, and his loss would have been greatly felt in this neiskborhood.
