Agints for the Grey Review Durham, January 19th, 1882 ) wvrrreavereverrerrerererrrraeave THE ONTARIO LEGISLATURE. |, On Thursday last the the third session 4; of the fourth parliament of the Province of | Ontmio was opened by the Lieut Gavor-g mor, with the usnal time honorsd pomp | and coremonies. The speech from the throne was distinguished in the first place by its lengtb, and in the second place by the very large amount of work indicated for the Provincial Legislators. Had the speech | proceeded from Sir John and his tri'ud!,! this wonld be readily understood, for the | eastom with therms has always Leen to proâ€" ' mise much and perform little, but, when a | Liberal Goyernment brings down a lengthy l programme, it may be taken for granted that the work set forth therein has to be ! done. â€" Among the matters 0f a more gonâ€" | eral kinds, referved to, is the vexed question } of the lsgal boundary between Outarso and | Manitoba. In the olden times this was ai watter of little consequence, but now that the North West is being opened up, considâ€" erable attention is being given to the thonsâ€" ands of miles intervening,and known chiefly | as the Rainy River District, The land ie.% said by travellers and surveyors not to be | certsinly of the best kind, but much of itl is saitable for agricultaral purposes and what is not, is considered to prosent o valâ€" l uable field for mining and lamlering purâ€" suits, The claim set up by Ontario, and a elain founded upon the terms of the British North American Act, was not admitted by the Dominion Government. The question was then submitted to arbitration with the eonsent of both parties, when the claim of: Ontario was fally sustained. However the Dominion Governmentâ€"that is Sir John‘s Governmentâ€"after some years of parleyâ€" ing, finally refused to abide by the decision of the arbitrators, anud now, Sir. John is adopting his nsual method of escaping a difficulty, by throwing the onusa of settling this question upon the Provinces interested, and thus succeeds in laying down a bone of contention between Manitoba and Ontario. Mr Mowats Government evidently purposes defending the rights of the Provinee of Onâ€" The present Dominion Ciovernment has I further shown its hostility to the iuterentt of Outario in the matter of disaliowâ€" ing â€" Acts of â€" Parliament _ perfectly | within the competence of the Proâ€"| vincial Legislature. _ However, quite | recently, by the decision of the Queen‘s | Privy Council the ecntention of the Onâ€"| tario Government as to certain Acts aflectâ€" ing policics against fire insurance, and disâ€" ] allowed by the Domiuion Government, has | been sustained, so that it may be reasonâ€" ably expected, that on other questions of ua purely Provincial cbaracter, such as the Rivers and Streams Bill, the Pavliament of Ontario will be allowed in future to: legislate as it thinks best, uumolested by any carping interference from the Conâ€" servative Government at Oltaws. Amoug the minor matters proposed to be dealt with, is the question of murket fees, aud possibly market places and fair grounds. This is a question that deeply affeets the Town of Durbham, and in view of the approaching logislation it wonld seem yory desirable that the Town Council defer all action on these matters, until such time as the Legislature has declared what is legal and what is not. Legislation is also promised in reference to line fences, ditches aud water courses, ra‘lway crossâ€" ings, the pubhe health, freo libraries, and sevoral other suljects of very great imâ€" portance to the welfare of the people.

Sherk, the U. B. winister atb Port Elgin, who is now on % lectaring tour, speaking a ‘good word‘ for the Port Elgin College, which was opened last Ocâ€" tober and hns been giving most exsellent entisfaction to etudents and parents ever gince, and it is still highly popular with the people of that beautifal town. The Rev. lecturer spoke of the great advantages‘{of a good education as a means of procuring for its possessor the bighest and pure=t onâ€" joyment in this lite, and e»pm:‘m'llyfl as ® CCC Tudianal PSE Coe ie ann e Cns s Copiye s 9 einl F puotent means for incressing one‘s influence | and capacity for usefulness in society. While looking upon youth as the best and most proper seasou for laying "broad and deep" the foundations of agood education, | the epeaker proved conclusively that an| education may still be attained by those who are advanced in years, eiting in proof thereof ‘Cato the Roman,‘ *Beott, the Comâ€" mentator," and ‘Newtop, the preacher and hymnologist." _ Me also showed us that mithough the idea of a mighty national university amply supplied witha the luustl accomplished profeesors, the largest libraâ€" riee and all the appliauces of eduertion may be a good one, thera is still much need of local institutions of learuing At convenient distances, all over the "Dominâ€". ion," where, as in the case of the Port: Eigin College, a good Eaglish and classiâ€" cal education may be obtained, at & moderâ€" ate price, uader good moral and religious influences, and without danger of proselytâ€" ing to any particular creed. A vote of thanks was moved to the rev. lecturer by Rev. Mr. Bell, of the M. E. Church, and cordially seconded by Dr. Landerkin, who spuke kindly and hopefally of the collegiâ€" ate euterprise of Port Eigin as a canse worthy of support by all who are inter« ested in the higher education of our youth. Horse Sroumx.â€"Very considerable exâ€" citement bas been caused here by the sudâ€" denâ€"disappesrance of a good horse from the stable of Christian Contrad, Eag. _ The facts of the case are &as follows:â€"Mr. Conrad went out to feed his cattle about 8 p. m., on Wednesday, the 11th inst., and found ‘ lis borse missing, but with a briet note tacked to the stable door, and signed by his adopted son Benjamin Coprad, aged 19 years (or Hohnstem, which is his father‘s name) saying "Be not nueasy about your horse, as 1 huve taken it to go ap to Wiarâ€" ton to see some friends, I will be back on Friday evening and remain with you all winter," Knowing, however, the sly crafty, and rather dishonest charaeter of the youth the parents believed net one word of that Wiarton jowuney, and immediately took steps to have Coustable Carson sent in purâ€" smt of the delinguent. But, so iar, the | result has only been that Mr. Carson eould lget much information as to the movements N 19 . uow 2 1 wiue A c ucd: R en t e ns 0 uf said "Bovjamin" the day before he took ‘ the horse, but no trace of either him or the horse afterwards, It is thougbt that he bas sold the horse, and gone over to Kan saa where his father Mohnstein" resides. So far as known, the people of Hanover sympathize with Mr. Courad, who is a yoor man, and ill able to bear the loss of | a good horse. There is some talk of rais | ing a subscription to send Mr. Carson ' "wer to Kaueas to seeare the bopeful youth, ‘Sud if he be secured it is likely that Benâ€" jamin may have every chavce to learn a trade at Government expense, If, however, he was as rich and inflnential as he is poor, friendless and ignorant be might easily| keep away from Kingâ€"tos, as not even his tosterâ€"parents can deny that the horse had been promised to the boy on certain conâ€" ditions of good conduct, &e. Avd it is known th@t be had told his late emplover in Egremont that he had a Loree in Hanâ€" 'over. and offered to sell hiin to said ome ployer, and he certainly woald not have luut him now by any other means than ‘taking him elandestmely. We wsit anxâ€" liously for further developments, and have l no objection to his learning a trade at Kingsâ€" | ton, whicu might indeed be the best thing y Hed ie nee t n i n eP io for him, and for society at large. But still, being imost intimately eeqaainted with all concerned, we venture to think that the uulmpry foster parents might act prudentâ€" y in showing a little merey in thus case wwlentlcea hand to all other delinqguents reâ€" gardless of the tivs of blood or friendship, which is nout at all probable. ly in showing a little merey in tlus cuse unless they ave fully prepared to have even handed jastice dealt out with a stern An nuction sale of bankrupt stock wus . heid every afternoon and eveniug of la<t week.

Cox Hate we any interest at all in what 1s 0o transpire on eaith after we have gone frow it? I think we have, No one can beeunâ€" tirely selfish.. The present generation is building houses, aud clearing up formn.-u:‘} planting orchards, digging wells and estabâ€" lishing lines of business which the next! generntion will ocoupy, use and carry on | when we lhave gone from sarth. We tnow‘ something about the men ot the present generation, at least about those who move ‘ in our own little circles, and, by repubo,l we also know something about those of whom we read, and who have attained some degree cf prominence in their day and geveration. But who are to succeed these men and fll the places which they vacate. J anâ€" | swer the boys and young men of the preâ€" sent generation. They are to be the men of the noxt generation,and I think it comes quite within the functions of a newspaper to apprise them of that fact. 1 i 7 1. m 8 Lindiacl 4 scb dutfiias What kind of men are they to be? Jt\ it is true that the boy is the father of the ‘ man, then the boy who learns to use proâ€" fane language will become a profane man. The next goneration will have no need of such. The next generstion will have no need of dead beats, or tramps, or eonfiâ€" denee operators, or mex who live by their wits. And there need be none of these if the boys of the presont geperation are properly educated. If we could ouly aâ€" waken them to a preception of the faet that now in the days of their youth they are deâ€" } termining what their whole future career is to be. Take the men of the present generation, who have made their mark in life,. How have they made it? Is thore one among them, who would fail to attribute his sueâ€" cess to habits of industry, frugality, and dligent pursuit of one object, and that, some nuble, worthy object in life. Can the boys of the present day who have no object Lefore them but to kill time, and play trnuant from sclio«}, and spend their evenings in the streets, ever hope to become in this way, men worthy of auy useful or respousible position in fature dife. ‘There: aro twenty boys in Durham, porkaps fifty, } who waste as much useful time in a single year in this way as would suffice if properâ€" ly employed, to learn a langnage or acâ€" quire the art of book â€"kesping. or telegrapy or phovography, or some of the nataral soieuces, that would not only be of interest to them while engaged in the study, but a ‘jny forever, apart from the utility of the knowledge thus anequired in various ways l in years to come. The world will need men in the next generation. Not every person in the almpe‘ ard the size of » man, is a mun. Some| men aré mere machines, who never rise| above the conception of brute force, as the l chief element of true manhood. Batanman | is n far different conception,. . It im;:iin| everything that is noble, generons, selfâ€" { sacrificing and bercic in hbumaunity. A true man never has occassion to tell an sinâ€". truth, or to do a dishonorable action, or to ‘ take ndvaniage of the ignorance or the noâ€" cessity of a tellowraan. A true man never feels above doing bonet labor when in reâ€" duced cirenmstances, no"‘ matter what his educational or social position may have been, No irne man will ever be found raising his havd against a woman, no matâ€" 19?[‘ what the provocation,. And it should ' be the ambition of every boy, to become a man, a trne, good, honorable man, and a useful citizen. And there is not a boy in tle eountry who cannct become snch, if he set about it with a determination to sueâ€" seed. % All bave not equal facilities, I admit. But the ijnstances are so pumerous where nccess srowned persistant efforts in spite disadvaniages, that no one need despair of success. â€" It is said thatthe great Dr, Wati was very aimall of stature and insignificant q looking.
