The closing ¢xâ€" ereises were interssting and very creditable to both teachers and pupils. Owing to the meagre atteadauce the junior rooms did not present that lively appearance which they usually do, but as the Searlet Fever has been to all appearances stamped out it is desirable that when the fill term Legius parents would see to it that their children attend school regularly. â€"The large immigration into the North-] Wost anticipated by Sir John and expatiaâ€" tinted upon so latgely by him in the House | of Commons, is admitted to haye fallen very far short of the expected results. Not 4 only bas the number of persons entering the Northâ€"Weet been comparatively small, but raany of those who visited Manitoba and the Government lands in the West, bave rotraced their steps and settled in Daâ€" kota or Minnesota, where the land regula« tions cnd concitions of parchase, suit the settler better than thoso offerred by the Government of Canada. This is another proof that the gentlemen who at present D I . & ye aoualcat e C e rule in the Dominion, true to their tradiâ€" tional policy, favor the public lands falling into the hands of the speculator, while the actual settler is driven to the neighboring â€"We have received the first number of | the Industrial World and NationalEconoâ€" mist, a weekly newspaper prblished at Otâ€" tawna. Its motto is "Home Manufactures and a National Policy for Canada," and its aim is said to be "tho developement of all the country‘s resources, and the material advancement of the Dominion as 2 whole. With party politics it will have nothing to do ; it will not be an organ either of the Government or of the Opposition, tut will be thoroughly independent of both." So far far so good, and certainly a great fiuld‘ of usefulness lies open in this country for such a journal, â€" But we regret to olserve that in this the first number, it throws its ‘motto and its programme to the winds. Instead of discussing questions ‘of trade on their merits, it lannches ont into a warm defence of the Notional Policy, and labours to show that it, and it alone, ean direct the wave of prosperity to Canadaâ€"no doubt Purham, July 8th, 1880. meaning â€" Canadian mauul’ucturersmdm!l nearly all the civilized nations of the earth are rapidly adopting the policey of Proteeâ€" tion, and that those who still adhere to Free Trado are living in the regions of darkness. This shows that it is not really a trade pap er asit professes to be,but a partizan political newspaper from a trade standpoint. Many of its statements are as absurd and couâ€" trary to facts, as its arguments are inconâ€" sistent with its professions,. With age it may grow in knowledge and wisdom, and certainly there is much need and much room. However, we must add that the paper and printing aro unexceptionable. The fire which occurred last weck in tho‘ Town, again presses upon the attention of our people the â€" necessity . oi taking some . steps to prevent the destruction of property by fire, and esâ€" pecially the spreading ef fire when it does scoeur. The matter has been a good deal talked about, and various meaus have been sugzested at different times,especially when a fire has occurred, and property has been destroyed, but, as is usually the case,when the evil has passed it is forgotten, and we rest contentedly until the next alarra strikes our ears. Some time ago, when the Town l was startled by the destruction by fire of much valuable property, a Committee oi Conncilâ€"if we mistake notâ€"was appointed for the parpose of sxamining into the matâ€" ter, and much information was collected as to the morits and demerits of fire engines, the Watérous fire system, and other imeans of extinguishing firss, but nothing came ot| it. Weare again reminded of our utter | belplessness in caso of fire, and it is certainâ€" ly a pressing necessity that something sbould be gone, and at once. It may bs urged that a good fire engine is expensive, and might prove too heavy a tax upon the pocketse of our aiready tooâ€"heavily taxed ratepayers. But we need searcely any ibat money invested in anch an object would be money judiciously expanded, and may , some day amply repay the investment. In | the meantime, howover, a Hook and Ladâ€" der Company might be organized. The pecessary means could easily be got, There are mony young men in the Town, intropâ€" 11, active, and of decision, who would gladâ€" ‘ 1y enroll themselves as members, and in ‘ the cireamstances of the Town,a good Hook | and Ladder Company would parkaps be of M-vhotbnsflnouinoinstayiug the progress of fire. In the case of the uflfi.finfilnoqu«fionbnflhaflm] it not been for the favorable dirsction of the wind the main building would have been destroyed, and it is equally certain ‘that however the wind might have been blowing, nad a Hook and Ladder Company been on the spot, the fire would be preventâ€" ed from spreading.

Sir ng 1 Jolhn bas the merit, at all events, of giving ME } sr‘\x‘ncthing new. â€" In discoursing of the Paâ€" Mm‘cmc Railway be said that the people of Canada need not be afraid ""that their proâ€" Canada need not be afraid "that their proâ€" porty would be taxed or their burdens inâ€" creased." _ As a matter of fact our taxes are aw‘ready very much increased, although scarcely a Legianing has beon made in the work of construction. Sir John continued: â€"â€""that at this moment thore were a humâ€" | ber of capitalists offering to build the road, desivons of taking it off the hands of the Government, and also of making their own fortunes by running it and by the settleâ€" ment of the land which has been set apart to pay tor its construction, and that the Government at tiis moment had the offers made under consideration." ‘The Mail, in reviewing and at the same time defending these utterances of the First Minister says "that capitalists hbave undertaken to con-\ struct the road, and that it would be well to say nothing about it until the facts are laid before Parliament." Perhaps so. But here we have the first step in the direction of another Pacific Scandal, No doubt Sir Hugh Allan is on the alert, and that whatâ€" ever opportunity offers itself to reconp him \ for the "ton thoutands" paid out in ‘73, will | be turned to good account, Haytxo is pretty general, but is not so heavy as was expected. â€" On most hills it is light, and the clever is killed out.

A numâ€" ber of bouquets of flowers were also on the tables. Close by was a very handsome monument erected to the meraory of the late Alex. Fraser, who died about a year ago, and on whose farm the Church was built. The soiree commenced about six | o‘clock, and about eight o‘clock the large | number prosent took their seats in the | Church, which was nicely dressed in green ‘ ; bushes, and an organ placed upon the platâ€" _ | form for the occasion. ~Dr. MeWilliam, of _ | Dundalk, was appointed Chairman, and .| made a neat and suital le address, congratâ€" ; ulating the congregation upon the success , | of their undertaking, reterred to the early .| settlers, aud. was plea ed to see so many ~| people present on that cccasion. On An excellent Choir, from Dundalky were called upon, who gave a piece in fine style, Miss Graham presiding at the orzan. They sang a number of pieces at intervals with good tasts and added very much to the enâ€" joyment of the occasior. The Rev. Mr. Morrison, of Cedarville, was called upon, who gave a very interestâ€" ing address on his experience as missionary in "The Fraser Settlement" nineteen years ago, three or four years after. the first setâ€" teers moved into it Mr. Davidson was the first missionary in that settiement the year previous to Mr. Morrison. _ He, Mr. M., described in a vivid manner his travels and adventures at that time, and gave a rather amvsing account of his being "lost in the bush," _ Io spoke in very feeling terms of the late Alex. Fraser and his warm hearteduess, and of the kinduesses he had received at that time from the settlets and particularly Messrs, Montgomery, John Anderson, Robert Anderson and others, and was glad to meet with these old and tried friends upon such an auspicious ocâ€" casion. â€" He spoke of the first meeting at Mr. David Bier‘s. They next held meetings in Mr. Montgowery‘s barn, and then in the old log sebool house that had lately beon demolished to make room for the new one that was being érected on its site, and conâ€" trasted the state of affairs when he first went into Proton nud its prosent prosperity. There were only two school houses when lhe moved in, that ho knew of, and no chureh buildings, and now thero. were 13 school houses, be believel, and. 7 or 8 churches. _ He referred to the advantage of beginvingâ€"at the bottom of tho ladder to climb up step by step, and thatâ€"it was bet» ter than being started half way up, and to the good 4/ young men The Rev. MF. Potter, who bas just beon appointed to the Dundalk imission by the Mothodist Church, gave a good nddress, He was pleased with the interesting adâ€" dross given by Mr. Morrison, and after reâ€" hearsing an amusing anneedote, spoke of the excellent school system enjoyed by this Province, and the necesity of enconraging the cireulation of gc;od books, and urged the people to take advantage of the various means of education and religious instrueâ€" tion offered. Mr. J. R. Johnston, B.A., who has laâ€" boured on that mission three sammers, was the next speaker, and expressed his satis» faction at being present with thom on that oecasion, aud of seeing the completion of the church. â€" He gave an amusing descripâ€" tion of his first visit to that neighbornood. He spoke of the warmhearteduess of the people, and that the building of the church was an evidence of their Christian zeal. \r. Wilson, Markdale, a fellow student with Mr. Johnston, was the next to address the meeting. He referred to the good that had been done by the missionary, and urgâ€" ed unity among the congrogation, and exâ€" pressed his sympathy with Mr. Johnston. Mr. Craig, of Horning‘s Mills, was the next speaker. â€" He was pleased to seo such a congregation and Church at that place. After some humorous remarks that caused much mirth, he gave some good advice in regard to habits, and the importance of eulâ€" tivating good habits. A Mr. H. Graham, of Dundalk, gave a short address on educating the youth in \Christian duty. i J.

Morning | dawned beantifally clear, and many Learts anticipated with delight the prospect of a pleasaut day. Dull gray clouds shortly afterwards spangled the blue heavens, and the great luminary was only allowed. to | suoile at invervals through their ragged and tbrokcu edges. Now, wo are going to the pic nic, and what a grand drive. we Lad.l Along the verdant highway with great rollâ€" ing fields on eitner side, one here, eovered with the fast ripening grain,swaying to and fro with the gentle breeze, reminding one of the gravd old occan rolling "in his gentâ€" lest awell" ; one there, a meadow almost i ready tor the busy baymaker‘s seythe, the next perhaps a gray fallow showing the planter‘s summer labor; beyond these might be seen, mellow in distance and vapâ€" ors, hillsides covered with forests, cottages mantled with ivy: while the winding stream in the distance seemed to lend en: | chantment to the view." Well, having arâ€" rived at the place of pleasure, we found that preparations were being rapidly pushed forward with a view to satisfying the Epiâ€" ecrian appetites of the rapidly gathering multitude. In the meautime we amused ‘oursel{ by 1 observing the coming numbers. On they i come from all quarters, glad to exchange C the dusty bighway for the cool shade of this | | sequestered leafy alcove, Buggies, carring > | , es, and even heavy waggons come pouring in, discharging their loads of human freight | , among the swelling throng. Mere is seen |, } coming up the pathway some dashing young | | swain, with (of course) his choice of the 1 beau seze by his side; engaged in a lively chat about some subject of mental interest, or promenading listlessly through the wood cach mbsorbed in the other, if oue may judge by the inexpressible contenipt with which they â€" looked _ upon everything outside ofthemselves, Others more bappily free mixed immediately, with the ecrowd, and entered heartily into the active part of the day‘s proceedings. At last 12 o‘clock came and with it dinnerâ€"what a dinner that was! As I stood at the end of that long table, and contemplated the many and | various kinds of viands prepared by the: | ladies of the community, L could scarcely "| rosis{the temptation of taking my notebook ‘!so as to let your readers know the rich *\ dainties so bountitully provided for those * | who came to enjoy them, but were I to do ° | this 1 would betray my positicn asâ€"your *| humble correspondent, so, the many good §| things epread there will not be known * | through my pen. Dinver at lenugth being ended, a chairâ€" man was appointed, and be, with the gravd old thoir, and several of the "muchâ€"onâ€"the say" members look their place on an eminâ€" enceâ€"otherwise ealled a platformâ€"aund after a few brief romarks from the honored man in the chair, or rather on the bench, or perhaps 1 should say stool, however, it matters not; the choir led by the leader who is known so well and so far by his exaciitude in imusical {ime, commenced the procecding by singing with the ‘usual pre . eision "Drink to me only with thine eyes," aud there is not the slightest doubt but a goood many cthers said the same words (inaudibly, of course,) if we take overt glances thrown over the left shoulder to mean anything. But huch! there is anâ€" other gentleman who claiims our attention, as ho is saying something about womanâ€" that old and favorite subject. Well, he finishcd | y. giving a piece of good advice to those who were casting the glances a few moments ago. â€" Two ladies were then nomâ€" inated to cut a large, richly ornamented and storied cake, canvassers then went round, smiling all over, one would think, aud pleading in their blandest acceuts for votes â€"weo believe they succeeded wellâ€"we hope they did. The choir again came to the fore and after singing a joyous Rowund, was folâ€" lowed by a Rev, genticman who addressed the listening crowdtin his usual bappy style. ‘ T almost forgot to mention that the choir was ably assisted by a noted violinist who will no doubt share the congratulations due to such excellent music. After these procecdings ceased, those skijled in "gestic lore" betook themselves to ancther platform or "set down," and thereon commenced a series of evolutions, surprising to behold, and which speedily brought to remembrance the ceremony which, onea upon a time, constituted a medicalâ€"man among the aborigines of the New World. ‘Time and space wouldl both fail were I to tell how the ladies enjoyed ltheir leapâ€"year privilegesâ€"how this, that, and the other one went .home, &c., &c. Suffice it, then, to say that all dispersed sceqiingly well pleased with tho manner in which they ‘spent the: day. _ Now, dear reader, where do you think all this happenâ€" l Tnuxperport out oFr a Cusan S&y.â€"~ ‘ Precisely at 12:55 on .Weduesday, without .a uote of warning, nor the least sign to prepare for it, a terrible thunder clap was heard at Ridgetown. The lightning struck the spite of the new FPresbyterian Cnurch, midway between the tower and highest point, tearing a large hole over half way around it." Stoves and tables were shaken and tnmbled down. The most singular part of it is that a few seconds before the current, struck, the benvens were as clear as noonday, and during the passage of the lightning eÂ¥erything was of ao inky black. h uh td o Aluthts t t ons â€"â€" PnA in dint Aicpreanar â€"â€"rrvaapd wl tue, The A;-ehu?eduu'innunfl‘it‘ passâ€" ed, leaving no traces of its track, with the one exseption of about $200 damauge to ie spire. ed ?

As we have before stated, all classes turnâ€" \ ed out with one accord, and though literâ€" | ally speaking all were*" not on the same | level (for i(he windows and baleopies of| â€"| every store were filled with the gay und\ summerâ€"like costumes of the fair sex minâ€" + 1gled with the more sombre oostumel‘ t of their male escorts)yet even on the â€"| strectwere to be observed many of ] our â€" prominent > citizenspressing check +\ by jowl with their less aristocratic s | peighbors, elbowed by be great unwashed‘ 4‘ and almost podden oo by the unkempt d l horses of the cuuuli‘y contingent, one and 9| al} animated by the one desire of securing a good stand point from which to see L. | the greatturn out, Shortly after 10 o‘clock ’flnhcru!l aunounced at intervals the apâ€" 4 | progch of h Forepaugh‘s j THE PROCESSION, which, true enough, in five minutes made its appearance, headed by the immense triumphal car contaiving "the band, who discoursed sweet music along the route. Soon after these, appeared the first instalâ€" ment of THE ELEPHANTS who plodded their slow avud ungainly way ‘ along,regarding the crowd with a contemptâ€" | uons yet pitying expression. Tuen fol lowed in a long and almost interminable file the waggons containing the marvellons collection of beasts and birds collected from â€" every clime â€" and quartsr â€" of the globe. ‘Then came a band of white vestured cavaliers, mounted on highâ€"spiritâ€" ed and wellâ€"traivned steeds;"‘then more caraâ€" vans, then the mamoth chariot surmounted by a real a LIVING LION, ; apparonily asleep and undisturbed by the 1 loud cries and lurrahs of the spectators, and attended by a shp of a girl; then morej clephants â€" drawing â€" another imposing vehicle, and finally the marvellous steam piano, which under the direction of skilled fingers, played various airs, varying from "God Save the Queen" down to *Vhor Emma," and which fitly brought up tl)ej rour. â€" Itis bootless for us to observe that: the procession was the finest ever seen in our city; we have only to say that it was: concerved and carried out by the gigantic mind of the great Forepaugh. Bootless also would it be for us to urge on our readers the absolate duty which is entailed on them of not failing 16 form part of the immense andience which is sure to assemble toâ€"night iu the monster tent. .‘The procession of toâ€" day was the least and most unimportant the largest audieuces ever assembled in Hamilton witnessed this afterm®on‘s perâ€" formence. ; FOLEPAUGE‘S MANAGERIAL GENIUS ‘ is applied in two divrections, the maintenâ€" ance of a marvellonsly instructive menageria ‘ and also that of a monster cireus. The former department, contained in a lnrge‘ tent with six centre poles, is the first to be ontored. _ Hours and hours might be profitâ€" whly spent in examining and studying the marvellous birds and beasts herein conâ€" tainod, the visitors‘ comfort *being much xdded to by the serupulous cleanliness and excelleut order exhibited. â€"A finer herd of }eleplmut.-s than has ever been exhibited before is hore to be seen, and the elephanâ€" tine perforn:.ance in the iing shows to how high a point these unwleldy animals may be educated. THE CIRCUS is perhaps a still more remarkable enterâ€" tainment the menageria. Everything is well done, and theore is countless special attractions. The rijing is more than bril« liant, the acrobatic fea lares are marvellous, and the epecialities would oceupy more space than we bave at our command. We may mention, howoever, the wonderfal whimsicalities of Clown Walker, whom we have before seen and roared at, when he was attached to Hengler‘s cirous, in Engâ€" lane. â€" Me is as funpy as ever, and we can say no more. . Mons. Loyal‘s ejection from the canpon and subsequent flight through the air caused many to hold their breath in awe, but when Loyal safely and grncc-} fully alighted on the trapese, they donubtâ€" ;less breathed more freely. Consulting the comfort of his patrons, Mr. Forepaugh has gous to immense expense in order to proâ€" vide them with a suitably lighted auditorâ€" inm. This is accomplished by means of the clectric light, which illnminates the gigantic space with a light even more brilliant than the god Sol,so distinetly that the minutes may be seen from one end of theient to the other, To sum up, the whole show is vastly "superior to what the bills and advertisements represent, @and tuken as a whole we can honéstly say that Forepaugh‘s is the best in every way that ever exhibited in Hamilton,.
