Im point of shipping tonnage the Do- minion of Canada now ranks filth in the scale of nations, Germany sixth and France seventh. The number of vessels remain­ ing on the Register of the Dominion, on the 3rd of December last, was 7.192, meas­ uring 1.260,893 totM, valued at (37,826,790, shewing an increase over the previousyear of 240 vessels or 55,825 tone. In th® LAW reports of die Toronto dailies of Wednesday last, we find the following : “ lie O’Neil and Co, Oxford. Mr. Osler morev! for a rule nfoi to quash a by-law passed under the Temperance Act of 18G4, granted." The »pie having been granted it will now devolve P-Poa H1’ county to show cause why the by-u'W should not bo quashed. If the objections b? h''1! Rood bythe court the rule will be mnd^ ai.r''lnt« and the by-law qaashad. If they nJ hui.i insufficient then the by-law will bo sus­tained. Th s Rsvolvhox in Prince ha* brought strange tiring*. The President of the Re­ public has Iri*h blood in his veins and the Minister of Bducation b an Englishman and a Protestant; but what surpasses all that ho* gon* before in the shape of reform is a measure brought before the Chamber of Deputies on the 6th in*t., by M. Benja­ min Raspail endorsed by his father and a number of other radicals; the measure had for its object the granting permission to priests to enter into th* married state ;although the House refused to enter upon |he matter so suddenly, yet the very factthat a member would dare to bring for­ ward such a proposition and the Hons* receive it without ejecting the during dep­uty in itself proves that Trance hasenter’d upon another and different stage of existence. The freedom of the subjectis being gradually entertained in France, when the obnoxious press restrictions are revoked, France will be nearly on a parwith the freest nations of the earth. Eight to seven promises to become quite hiatorica! iu United States politics. The Tripartite Electerial Commission, to count and to decide ou the vote* of ths Electorial College, for the presidency, eon- rista of fifteen member*, fivo from the Supreme Court, five from the Senate and five from the House of Representatives ; those from the Sonata and the House are in proportion to one Republican to one Democrat, and had these members been so overruled by their political proclivities as to, on each occasion, when called, upon, cast a party yole, the feet would not have beon so much wondered at, but iu th* cose of the other five numbers ot the Commis­ sion, who were supposed to be far beyond the pale if party prejudices, and who, from the very position they hold, are looked upon as unembisssed nud independent members, j nation, at least, was to bo ex­pected ; hut instead of justice, wa find partisanship ns prominently displayed as if they thriDselves.were *Hdiltcians. Strangea* it may appear, yet it is true, that when­ever a v 'to Lus been token ti e five Repub­ licans with tho same three Supreme U >urt Judifv* of the ELetorinl Cotnmtesion ef tho U. S. pirtHanship ia depicted on thevery uniformity of iho voting, always the same three judge* on the one side aud the ether two religiously opposing. Hml JudgeBradley been the sole arbitrator, f >r ho has had the easting vote throughout, the resnitwould have been the same as it now is.The Democrats have nothing left but to swallow a dose of their own making, for they, more than the Republic tna, advo­cated and were the means of "stablishing the Commission, and the safest course forthem to follow is to abide peaceably by the result. Im his Budgkt spkkch, the Minister of Finance elated as hi* belief that the maxi­ mum of Dominion expenditure was reached in the year 1875-6. It requires no finan­ cial ability to ret the fallacy of thia belief. Surely Mr. Cartwright does nut anticipate the progress of the Dominion to remain stationary or to, disappear altogether, for such undoubtedly would be the result had the mwmnm of expenditure been reaehfd; Were the population of the Country in­ creased to any great extent it is mot far a moment to be supposed that the present Dominion expenditure would prove ade­ quate ; eether the rash atatomeiit made was a laptiu lingua, or a more ebsritabls couatnrotion might be what Mr. Cart­ wright meant to bo inferred was that th. maximum expenditure over and above income had teen reacted. The expendi­ ture for the year amounted to 124,488,000 and the revenue to 122,687,000, showing an exoere of expeodttera over Reveane of • 1,9C0,W0, made up of dreeral itetna some of which were of an exoepUonal nature, aoeh as expenditure on boundary *nrv*y. 1184,000; on the Cautennial, the Mennon- North West, $210,000; and some items which ought mere properly to have faendebited to capital expenditure, such asthe coot of ch-ingitrg Use gauge of tbs Intercolonial Bailway and replacing ir »nwith steel rails, $250,000; and expenditure on public works, bow dosed, (MOjDQO.

The first exdamati n of s stranger after reading what either side !>« ■' • to say of a parliam pt try deb te would b- ? > “ Winch oocatfnt am I to b.levs?" and (well ho might ask the qnMti m for the t *o . accounts differ so wid dy in many rtsn<ct i that w«ro it not for the subject discussed. . a id the spotkors’ name* being ileutical th* . two account* might be attributed to tw<* different debate*. Writing of • speech of Sir John A. Macdonald, one paper makv* it appear that “ Sir John seemed not at all “ iu lune, striving to appear energetic and •• now and tiiA «uatiHgm< U' work hltnselt " into a state of earnestness, but his effort d as a whole was miserably feeble and “ elicited frequent outbursts of laughter “ from the Minister*.” (This *m wrong of the Minister*.) Another paper writing o; the same speech says:—“ There is so much “ of the English Statesmen about Sir John “ that no provocation oau induce him to •• convert Parliament into an election u »u;-np. His rebuke of Mr. Mackenzie " was cefteinly warm and strong, b»»t he 11 could have I’090 excused if he had for- “ gotten himself C for lhe moment “ aud paid th* Premie.' bti.'k in bis own•• coin.’’ Writing of ii,. C*rtwrigbl’a Budget Speech one paper has it that *’ Th* speech was milked et once by great l .’s' “ tinctuess of utterance a masterly array ot" figures, and an exceediugly vigorous d i-” fence of the courae pursued in relati ai “ to the late Canadian loaus,"whilst anothermakes it appear that “ The speech,although “ eontaiuiug a number of facts of great in­ terest, woa delivered with but liitlo ear-“ neitucss, aud was by no means well o >n- “ strucied." Tho Premier suffers pretty severely. He is thus eulogized by onepaper : “ Mr Mackenzie then followed iu a •• speech Wliiob must hav,» brought the“ blush to the cheeks of ths m >ro respect-" able men of hi* own party. It was coarse “ yea brutal to a degree, using language“ which stamps him ns a man utterly unfit- “ ted for thu p osition ue now holds. The •• spectacle presented by the First Minister•• is cue of which th* country may well feel •• ashamed.” This is rathei strong. ThePremier would however find consolation on reading an account of the sam* speech from another organ, which tells us that “ Mr.” Mackenzie's speech was one of his Imp- piest efforts and pleased everybody. Yes-“ terday he was in bis best fighting (?) trim“ aud spuke with a life and energy that de- “ lighted his friends, nor di I it much offm,!" a good tunny of bis oppouenta.” A single cheer is often magnified into “ L>ud ap­ plause," and a single word ' f dissent to the•• disapprov-nl of the House.” When oxy­ gen and nitrogen, the latter a poison, arcmixed together iu certain proportion*, the air we bieathe is (he result. So with these different reports when mixed together iu icertain proportion* a truthful statement of ;fact* is the result. The difficulty, however, (Uy* in knowing the proportion of each dosoto take. 1 Detail s of the late storm wave and cyclone in Bangal, India, have reached us. Il was not the win I but the wave which proved s > disastrous, sweeping along to the height of from 10 to 2J foet accord­ ing to locality; in some place* where it met with resistance it mounted even higher. Tae country devastated by the wave, or rather, wave*, for lh«re were three in quick ■accession, covered an area of 8.000 square miles, with a population of 1,062,000, of whom 215,01) perished, and many more would inevitably hivj pcrii^J had it not been for the peculiar ooastruction of the vil­ lages, which were in m >«t in*teooss encir­ cled by largi treis, bim'»>»», an I a large th iruy spteie* called Ma Jv. The people were caught up before they had time to climb these, however, most of those who were stopped by th* trees were sav*<l,those who were not must have b*sn swept away and lost. Doubtless there must have been variation iu d*tail in thi* struggle for life with death, but there is an extraordinary samansss in the general manner in which people were saved or lost. In most cases they would shew ths pxrtioulir tree on which they stuck, and generally the sur­ vivor* pointed to the severe scratcnee they received from the prickly branches of the Madar tree* ; in reality three thorn* and prickles held them tight, and prevented them from being borne away. The oorpees of the dead began to putrify before the water entirely cleared off the gronnds, so they were left unburied in nutnb-rs all over the country; mixed wii_ human bodies were the bodies af cattle all beaned together. • Weather tossed seamen in the Bay of Ben­ gal saw many eorpree floating out from land with the waves, ompses from the Lu Jdeep Island were flung to the sea shore at Chittagong and living person* were born* thither aero** an arm of the sea dinging tathe roofs or beams of their own honses as if upon raft*. Mr. Higgins, *n Inspecting Poet Master, was in hi* travelling barge thenight <>f the cyclone, moored in the creek near Noaoolly, about ten miles inland fromthe M-goa; be bad gone to bed that night at 11 o’clock without fear or anxiety; the boatmen were ashore but bis four native•ervanta were on board with him. Shortly before midnight bo was awakened by a ary of j*a*so* «rta hoi (the waters are coining.)Jumpiug np b« looked out end saw a high wave with its erest aud curling tops gleam­ing fa the starlight, it sremsd like a fltab. Ia an instant bi* boat seemed rising high.; bo freteoed on a life belt; fa a few momentaanother wave oom* rolling ea attd the burgsespsisfai. Ho pfaJI-d -boet in the water aH the rest fa toe night with the h-lp>f the bfe belt | the aative aarvaaia eluag te apar*;three were saved sad on* was Inst. If thia the em*nrenay in the bland* still mure ex-pored to i the fury of the atom wave. The flense of th* inundation onlylasted Item midnight till 2 a. os.; by dny- grain, which, fortunately, were buried inpits, they took out and dried and eouked from such as were undamaged. Plantaintrets abounded but the fruit was m stly destroyed; thecocosnute, however in many instances remained when the tree* werehigh enough, and must have afforded some sustenance. The number of cattle lost wasenormous, chiefly bullocks and cows, and s >mo buffaloes, but many buffaloes were saved they being excellent swimmer*. Thel oata great and small were all lost. The wealth lost wa* almost entirely agricultu­ral, with one notable exception, namely.D iwlutkhan, a rich trading town, clean de­ stroyed, with loss of miscellaneous propertyind stores and valuable records; it had 8.000 inhabitants of whom more than one f nrth perished. The local authorities didi stantly all they-possibly could in distri­ buting food, ana rendering every help. Such is a condesed history of one of themost disastrous etorm waves which has visited Bengal for many a year. EPITOKE OF MEWL It is now thought certain that the present , session of Parliament will last over Easter. I Another strike ia threatened on the Grand i Trunk Railway. This time the brakesmen I claim that their wages should be increased ; fr?!« *1 to 11.25 per day. ’ Attorney-General Royal and Mr. Martin of the Opposition have had a rencontre with fists at Winnipeg. The directors of the Stadacona Fire In­ surance Company have called up another five per cent, on the capital, making fifteen per cent, called up to date. Most of the Hamilton wholesale houses, in ooticipauon of a rise in the tariff, cleared their teas, sugars and liquors from the Cus­ toms House aud were rewarded accordingly. Twenty-two miles of the Lake Simcoe Railway is graded. The Guelph Gas Co. have had a divi­ dend of ton per cent, this year. The majority against the Dunkin By- Law in the County of Ottawa was 844 and Priu/'e Edward County by a majority of 248 rct<uu« the By-Law. Sir Hugh Allu.u ha* resigned the Presi­ dency nf the Merchants’ Bank, th* Hon. John Hamilteu replacing him. Mr. Jack- •on Rae ho* also resigned the Chief Man­ agership, being replaced by Mr. Geo. Hague late Cashier of the Bank of Toronto. These changes have resulted in a rise of two per cent, in the market price of the Bank Stock. Oregon, the backbone of the Democrats, has been counted for Hayes and Wheeler. Gen. Macauthur, the Chicago Postmaster is a defaulter to th* extent of 188,000 The Privelege* Committee of the House of'Representatives, U.S., have agreed to report a Bill to provide temporarily for filling the Presidential vacancy in th* event of no constitution*! declaration of an elec­ tion being mid* before the co nmencement of the regular term. Cardinal Cullen refused to allow th* re­ main* of John O Malnney to lie iu state in Dublin, and it is expected that the Gias- nevin Cemetery Committee will object to them being btiriad in that cemitery. In a letter to the O’Maboney Funeral Committee Cardinal Cull*n says, “ I am unaware that O'Mnboney contributed any signal service for hi* eoun try, but I believe he rather provoked hostile legislation against us, I have been unable to learn that he was a great benefactor of the chuich. The Anglo-American Cable Company announce that after the 1st of March the Cable tariff will be one shilling sterling per word.

To the Editor of the Tribune. Sir,— It has been said that the cry of hard times ia chronic, and I am inclined to think so. Every one you now meet cries " hard times," aud we re-echo it; although we have a few hu dred out at ten per cent; but if wa did not do so our tradesmen would expect as to pay up onr small bills before next harvest, which we have been keeping them out of for the last six months and this would compel us to draw on onr n serve capital. The next great question is what effect will this open weather have upon fall wheat and this year’s fruit crop, also will it have any effect in de­ ciding who will be reeve of West Zorra next •usaion of the County Council, if so there are a good many in these parts would like to know who aod wljen, m there is a good deal of feeling regarding the qnestfone st issue, as many think that the cards were shuffled ootetoo often and the deal aot quite ths lair thiegThs Dnnkinltes are in high spirits, aad weare all putting ou> houses ta order for theLA.11 -L_rv 1 a __ . sad plenty sbsll te secured by Mt of parlia­ment; w* know the present Government can do it it they have a mind to, sad wn believethey will fur thev have atorody made theirown salaries all they desire and the indemnityto the trtrmtera ol the Hense quite cocn-fortabte, aad we have ecmfideace to believethat oar turn will cqhjc next .

The man who only exhibits a dozen variotiee ef paars by‘the side of another who spreads a collec­ tion of two er throe hundred, appears to be rather ” small potatoes," although he may be in reality the mon extensive cultivator of the two, and deserves more credit for possessing wisdom enough to avoid such indiscriminate planting of second-rate sorts.— Moore's ftural. 8th.

Ji frequently happens that butter dealers and butter manufacturers have a quantity of butter which becomes ranaid and unfit for sale, either through improper handling or carelessness in ita manufacture. Buch butter can ba worked over and be made to appear fresh by the following method, eommnnieated to the Ohio Farmer by a Mrs. B. Smith: “In a perfectly clean water barrel filled with water, put half a pound of alum and'allow it to stand until tho impurities in the water have all settled to tho bottom of the barrel. Fill a large boiler half full with the alum water ; heat as warm as the hand can bear—but not boiling—and then add what butter tho boHeywill hold conveniently. Stir it thor­ oughly for fifteen or twenty minutes and put the bntter into a churn, adding one gallon of new milk for each ten pounds of butter. Add butter coloring enough to give a j-foh yellow color and churn the whole. When the butter is gathered in the churn add salt; wash and work it well, and it will have the taste, smell and appearance of frosh butter. It is hardly necessary to add that when butter has been worked over in this way tke sooner it is sold tho bolter.’ [The last assertion of tho writer renders tho value of tho receipt, which is otherwise reasonable, rather suspicious.] Farewell to (he Potato Bug. The Colorado potato beetle, or potato bug, m generally call it, has at last found it* match in the shape of a mite parisite. Prof. Riley, at a meeting of the St Louis Academy of Science, exhibited a potato bug that was so completely covered with a mite parisite that the point of a needle could not be placed on the beetlu's back without touching ono of the parisites. Ho estimated the num­ ber of the mites at 800. The bug had been attacked by its enemies and killed. The po­ tato bug seems to have a number of natural enemies, such*aa th6 toad,- the crow, the rose­ breasted gossbeak and domestic fowls. There are no less than twenty-three insect enemies that attack and kill it. The bog has also been migrating eastward across the continent for Bevcral years, until it has now reached the Atlantia ocfan. We hope it may Gndawatery grave and let the waves aijzc ita requium.— Rocky Mounlain Newt. Leaning Trees. Often in a fine orchard wg find one or more trees leaning over so far as to dwtroy tic beauty of the whale orchard. It’s also more difficult to cultivate around a leaning tree. This may easily bo remedied, while tho tree* are young, by partially digging up and replant­ ing the troee. The roots will usually be found smallest on the aide from which tho tree lean* ; and, therefore, these roots should be loosened from the earth, the tree let in a perpendicular position, and carefully fastened by atakea and guys,<nd the earth replaced around the roots. It would be well to add some rich compoat to promote their growth. If, as is very probable, the top of tho tree has become one-sided, it ahould bo pruned so aa to restore the balance. In this way we have "righted-up" pear trees six inches through the stem ; but the best way is to look attar the young trees and not permit them to depart from the way of up­ rightness.

CARRYING THE FLORIDA ELECTION CONTEST INTO NEW YORK—COLD WATER ON A STKAN8 ALLIGATOR—THE MOUTH OF A HAYES ALLIGATOR PRIED OPEN—HOW THE TILDEN ALLIGATOR WITHDREW. WONDER OF MODERN TIMES I The visitors to tha New York Aquariumyesterday afternoon witnessed a novel and extraordinary combat between several iaa- msnse Florida alligators. The Hugh reptilesonly arrived in town yesterday morning, having been packed in big boxes. They were placed in the great tank where thowhite whale was wont to disport, the water having been first drawn off. Two of thealligators are fourteen and a half feet long,five are over nine feet and tho other five range from six to seven feet. The whole dozen were a remarkable group, and,tuOUjh chilled and stiff with cold, they wars evidently troublesome customers to handle. While Mr. Croup and JIr. Reiche the proprietors, were consulting on tho bestmethod- of warming a sufficient quantity of water to flood the tank the alligators roused up, and began to make things verylively inside of the glass enclosure. NOT ALL DEAD. Ono of the employees went into decide whether one of the largestrepiiles w.M’dive he being so helpless when first placed is the tank, that it was feared death had en­sued. The question had to be decided be­ fore the flow of warm water was started. Mr. Bishon quietly descended the ladder,and walking to the centre of the tank sei­ zed the big allignfor by the tail. Scarcely had he done so when a most exciting sceneensued. The dormant reptile at once raised its head, and opening his mouth snarled like an infuriated bulldog. Thesound had a wonderful effect on the wholo group and then ensued the battle. Mr.Croup seeing that one of the eight-foot al-ligatois was about to seize Mr. Bishon’s foot, called out to him and ordered him toleave the tank. He complied rather- un­ willingly for it was evident that troublewas ahead- The alligator who had been deemed dead became very lively and lashedLis tail in a vengeful mood. Happening to strike one ot tbo nine-foot gentlemen, the latter was enraged,and swimming roundlike lightning and with a fierce snarl ha sought issue with his older antagonist.Both of the reptiles closed, their jaws inter­ lapping, and the straggle that ensued was a fearful one. Two of the smaller ou«s followed suit and began fighting on theirown book. Blood flowed from the jaws of the two larger ones and a general commo­tion was observable among the whole lot. A COLD WATER QUO WARRANTO. The visitors gathered around the lank and viewed the battle with deep interest.All four oflhe combatants were evidently warmed up to their work, and their con­ tortions were frightful. Finally Prof. Bnt- ler decided to have a stream of cold Crotonwater thrown on the fighting alligators. This acted like a charm for the sadden dash of ice.cold water was evidently distastefulto the brutes its their jaws relaxed and they separated. But it was only for a moment for scarcely had the hose been taken downbefore the largest pair began fightingagain. This time water had no effect, and as one of the alligators seized it* antagonist bythe fore f >ot and was slowly tearing it off. more desperate measures ware deemed necessary. Mr. Bishon accordingly re-en­tered the tank, armed with a long ironcrowbar. AN ELECTORAL COMMISSION CR0W3AR. Cautiously putting aside two or three oftho smaller ones, he made his way to the centra of the •dolosuro, and, by main force >ried open the monsters jaws, thus relese-ng the wounded one, who wae glad enough to swing himself clear of danger. It is ex­pected that two or three days must elapsebefore thssturian monsters will be accus­ tomed to one another and a strict watch has to be kept on the brutes to prevent theirkilling each other. These specimens are tha largest in captivity and form an im- portent feature among the many wondersof the aquarium. A KreBgiby Bear Story* Texas Jack baa returned from a hunt in ths Sweetwater country with a parly of Englishtnen, and has had a talk with aa writer for the Spirit of tha Timet. Thero wore seven fo*n in the company.Ths game consisted chiefly cf elk, black­ tailed door, antelope and mountain sheep. No hostile Indians were encountered. Theonly dangerous brute in tho west to hunt, aaya Jack, is the best. Ho is cunning,swift, and always ready for a fight. He thinks that tho best place to hnnt beers is wLsrs thero an not any to be found, andof the grizzly he says • « He will stand in tho middle of the road, growling and get­ ting hi* mad up when then isn't a live creatatwwithin forty miles of him. Ifyoumost ow and lure out for him ho will pro­bably leave you alone, but if you say a word look out for him.

F my stage tricks of glance ortone, my carefully studied andpractised attitudes and modu­lations, recall soma neglected ,memories of your sunny past, let me hope Mr. Laurence Unka me with the holy a*so-ciations that duster about a mother's dr a sister's sacred features ; reviving the earlier yean, whan h* offered at tho shrine offriendship,*of honor.and of genius—tributes too sineere to admit tho giozing varnish offulsome fashionable adulation, which de- grade* alike lhe lips that utter and the ears that listen. If at some period iu tho mys­terious future you—whom, because my countryman, ( relnotantly consented to re­ceive—should really discover anobls, lovelywoman, before whose worth and beauty that fickle heart you call your own utterlysurrenders, and whom winning as wife, and cherishing as only husbands can thedarlings they worship, you were finally torn away from, by inexorble death, the only power that can part husbands andwives, then think you, Mr. Lauranee, that the umverm holds a grave deep enough tokeep you quiet in yonr coffin—if vain, \ hearties* man profaned her sacred widow- i hood by sneh utterances as you presumeI to offer me ? Tho stage is the arena, i where in gladiatorial combat I wage myI war with tho bi-aste of poverty and want ;there I receive the swelling acclamation of triumph or tha peiting hisses of defeat ;there before tho footlights where I toil forImy breed, I am a legitimate, defenceless target for artistic eritieism ; but outside theIXecincts of the theatre I hold mysslf as •sired from tha world as if I stood in stone• upon an alter behind some convent^ bars; and nA a lonely, sorrow-strisken mother, widowed of the father of my child, bereftIof ahusband's tender jealous guardianship, I have a right to claim ths profound res­ pect, the cbivsJric courtesy, which everyhigh-toned, honourable gentleman accords to worthy, stainless women. Because asan actress, I barter my smiles and tsars for food and raiment for my fatherless i child, it wore not quite safe to imaginethat I share the pagan tendencies which appear to have smitten some of my coun­ trymen with moral leprosy."The words seemed to burst forth like a mountain cataract long blocked in snow,which, melting suddenly under some un­seasonable fiery influence, falls in an im­ petuous, icy torrent, bearing the startlingy*j chill of winter into flewery meadows, I where tender verdure, sown-thick with”1 primrose* and daisies, smiles peacefully in I summer sunshine. Twice the visitor half rose and essayedto speak, but that deep, steady voice bore all interruption, aud as he watched her, Mr. Lauranee, just then, would have giventhe fortune cf the Rothchilds for the pri­ vilege of folding in his own the perfecthands that lay clasped on the marblo■lab. While her extraordinary beauty movedhi* heart, as no other woman had yet dona, the stern bitterness of her rebuke appealed to the latent chivalry aud slumberingnobility of his worldly soul. Looking upon his flashed, handsome face, interpreting its eloquent, varying expressions, by tbsrid of glancing lights which memory snatched from long gons, years, she sawthe struggle in his dual nature, and harried on, warned by the powerful magnetism of his almost invincible eyes, that the melt­ing spell of the put was twining its relax­ ing finger* about the barrod gateway ofher own throobing heart. -‘ Trained in the easy school Of latitndi- nariauism so fashionable now-a-tlay onboth side* of the Atlantic, doubtless Mr. Laurence deems hieadbpted countrywoman a nervous, puritanical prude; and upon myprimitive aud well-nigh obsolete ideal of social decorum and propriety—upon my lofty standard of womanly delicacy andmanly honor—I can patiently tolerate none flf the encroachments with which I have re- eently been threatened. Just here, Sir,pennit a partinent illustration of the im­ pertinence that sometimes annoys me.’ Lifting between the tips of j^orfingers thopretty peach-bloom-tinted note, whoso jr-NBE<Jpug characters betrayed the hand that^jysamad it, she continued, with an outbreak «intensM and overwhelming contempt: i‘ Ukten—if you please—to the turbid libation which some rese-lipped Paris,some silk-locked Sybarite poured oat last night,after leaving the theatre. Under pretence << adding a loaf to tho chaplets, won bywhat ho is pleased-to term ‘ divine dramaticgenius,’—this “Jules Duval "—let me see, —I would not libel an honorable name—yes—eo it is signed—this Jules Duval, this brainless, heartless, soulless Narcissus, with no largsr sense of boner than could findample waltzing room on tha point of a cam­ bric needle,—insolently avows his real sen­timent* in langusge that your valet mightaddreaa to bi* favorite grisetle—and closes like some ardent, accepted lover, with anaudacious demand for my photograph, “ to wear forever over his fond and loyal heart I”That is faahionsble homage to my genias—is it ? I call it an insult to my womanhood I Nay—I am ashamed to read it I Twould stain my cheeks, soil my lips,—dishonoryour gentlemanly oars. Mr- Lauranee if ever yon should become a husband, andtruly love the woman you make your wife, you will perhaps comprehend my fooling* —when aom* gay unprincipled gallant pro-fanes th* sanctity of bar retirement, with such’unpardonable, such unmerited inso­lence." She held it up between thumb and fore­ finger, shaking out the pink folds till thesignature, in violet ink flaunted before tho violet eyee of its owner—then crushing it •S if it were a cobweb, she tossed it towardthe window. Turning her head, she said in an alteredend elevated tone: ‘Mrs.Waul, may I disturb yeu for a mo-suent ?'The qaist figure clad in sober gray, and Wearing a muslin cap whose crimped ruffle Meloeed in a snowy frame the benevolentWrinkled countenance—came forward, knit­ ting in hand, spectacles on her m m—md for the first tim* tho visitor b«tam* awarevf her presence. ‘ Please lower the curtain yonder, besidetbectagerr, the sun shines hot upon Mr. Lmmmce'e brow. Then touch the beitarad order di* carriage to bo ready in twenty HugaiisUd |s be had never been before, Mr. Lanranc* resolved upon w m desperateattempt to regain th* position hta vanityh*d nisbly forfeited. Waiting util t!?« yuaker-liKc dusnsta bsd retreated to bar a*. th* Mtress th* took** till >*lodgU —your stern reproof recalls me to my Suses—to my better nature ;—and I begat upon tho unsullied word of an Ameri­can gentleman, you will accept, with my npology, the earnest assnrance that in quit­ting this room I honor and revere my matchless countrywoman far more thanwhen I entered her noble presence. Fash­ ionable freedom may have demoralized mv tongue, but by the God above us I swearit ha* not blackened my heart, nor deaden­ ed my perception and appreciation of allthat constitutee true feminine refinementand purity. You have severely punished[ my presumpt ous vanity, and now, will younot mercifully pardon a man, who, finding in you the perfect fulfilment of bis propheticdreams of lofty a* well as lovely woman-, hood, humbly but most earnestly craves permission to reinstate himself in yonr re-, gard ;—to attempt to win your esteem and friendship,—which he will value far more highly than the adoration of any—yes of allother women ?’ H* was so near her, that she saw the regular quick flutter of the blue vein on hisfair temples, and as the musical mastering voice so well remembered—and once sofondly loved—stole tenderly through tho dark, lonely, dreary recesses of her deso­late aching heart—it waked for one instanta wild maddening temptation—an intense longing to lift her arms, clasp them around hi* neck—lean forward upon bis bosom—and be at rest. In the weary years that followed howbitterly she denounced and deplored thafever of implacable revenge that hold her back on that memorable day? Verily foreach of us, ‘‘a Nemean Lion lies innva t somewhere”—and a lost opportunity might have cost even Hercules that tawny skinhe wore as trophy. Mr. Lauranee saw a slow dumb motion of tho pale lips that breathed no sound-tofill the verbal frame they mutely fashienod, —‘my husband,1—and then with a gradualdrooping of tho heavily lashed lids, the eyes closed. Only until one might have leisurely counted five, was he permitted toscan the wan face in its rare beautiful repose, then again her eyes pitiless asfate mot his—so eager,*so wistful—and she too rose, confronting him with a cold proudsmile. ‘I fear Mr. Laurence unduly bemoans and magnifies a mistake, which, whatever its baleful intent, has suffered iu my rudeinhospitable hands an ‘untimely nipping in tho bud,’ and most ingloriously failed ofcgBsummation. After to-day, the lucklessincident of our acquaintance must vanish like some farthing rushlight set upon abreezy down to mark a hidden quicksand ; for in my future panorama I shall keep nonich* for mortifying painful days like this;and you, Sir, amid the rush, and glow, and glitter of this bewildering French capital,will have little leisure and less inclination te reeall tho unflattering failure of an at­ tempted flirtation with a pretty but mostutterly heartless actress, who-wrung her hands, and did high tragedy, and stormed and wept for gold I Not for perfumed piukbillets-doux— nor yet for adulation and vows of deathless devotion from high-borngentlemen handsome and heartless enough to servo in Le Musee du Louvre as statues of Apollo—but for gold, Mr. Lauranee, onlyfor gold!’ ‘ Do not inexorably exile me,'do not re­fuse my prayer for the privila'gifaof some­ times seeing you. Permit me to come here and teach you to believe in my—’‘ Le Jeu n'en vaut pasfla chandelle T— she exclaimed,—with a quick nervous laugh,that grated grievously upon his ear.‘ Madame, I implore you not to deny motho delight of an occasional interview/ A sudden pallor crept across his eager face, and he attempted to touch the fair dimpled hand, which still grasping thelocket, rested upon the table. Aware of his purpose, she haughtily shrank back, drew herself up, and foldingher arms so ‘jghtly over her breast that the cameo ring 'pressed close upon herbounding heart,—she looked down on himas from some distant height, with an intensity of quiet scorn that no languagecould adequately render,—that bruised his heart like hail-stones. ‘ I deny you henceforth all opportunityof sinking yourself still deeper into my estimation,—of annoying me by any futuredemonstrations of a style of admiration, I neither desire, appreciate, nor intend to permit. If accident should ever thrust youagain across my path, you will do well to forget that our minister committed theblunder of sending you here to-day. • Mr.Lauranee will please accept my thanks for this package of papers, which shall be re­turned to-morrow to the office of th*American Embassy. Resolved to forget the unpleasant incidents of to-day, MadameOrme is compelled to bid you good-bye.’ Angry bnt undaunted, bis eloquent eyes boldly bore up under hers,—as if iu mortalchallenge ; and he bowed with * <i*gr j* of graceful hauteur, fully equal to her own best efforts.‘ Madame's commands shall be rigidly and literally obeyed, for Cuthbert Lau­rence is far too proud to obtrude his pre­sence or his homage on any woman ; but Mrs. Orme’s interdict does not include thatpublic realm, where she ha* repeatedly assn rod me that gold always secures ad­ mission to her smiles,—and from wliich noearthly power can debar me. Watching you from the sam* spot, where last nightyou floated like an angelic dream of myboyhood,—like a glorious revelation—upon my vision and my heart, I shall defy th*world to mar the happiness iu store for me, so long a* you remain in Paris. A distant but devoted worshipper, cherishing thememory of those thrilling glances with which ‘Amy Rebaart’ favored me,—permit me to wish Madame Orme a pleasant ride,and good afternoon.’ H* bent his handsome head low before her, and left tho room les* like *n exilethan a conqueror, buoyed by an abiding fatalism, a fond faith in that magnetic in- fluenee and fascination he had hithertosueeassfully exerted onr all whom hi* way­ ward, fickle, laaUdioua fancy had cboos*a to onalave.Whan th* sound of his retiring footsteps wan no longer audible, th* slender white-robed figure moved unsteadily across th* floor, entered th* adljoiaiug dressing-room, and locked th* door.Th* play was ever at last, th* long ten* slon of nerve, th* iron >tram on brain *sidheart, th* steel mansclo* on memory, all ■napped simultaneously;—the aetres* wa*trampled out of sight, and th* woman—th*weak, •uff*rit'g, long-tortured wnmiahewed down in belphns *nd hopeless agonybefore bar desecrated moulienng altar,— was alone with th* dust of her overturnedand cltanbling idol. •My husband 1 Ob God I Thon know- Mt—not h«ra—not that wotnan’s-lmi mine 1all mine t My bsby’e fathw 1—my Cuth­ bert—my own bushand I’ i§h Ion th. taioityYour rebabs tea* our little girl’* guilelesv-pprity and ingen-) unreservedly in bar prescnc*.

Youneed not stare so desperately at that page, for I intend to talk to yon—and it is uselessto try to snub' either me or my facta.—Regina is young I know, not quite fourteen ’ but she is more precocious, more mature,' than many girls are at sixteen; and you ' seem to forget that having always associat-’ ed with grown people she has imbibed their 1 ideas and caught their expressions instead of the more juvenile forms of thought andspeech usual in children who live among ' children. She has as far outgrown jumpingropes, as you have tops and kites, and hasno more relish for fairy tales, than your Reverence has fer base ball, or my Bishophere for marbles. Suppose last October Ibad sprinkled a paper of lettace-sood in the garden, and on the same day yon bad sowna lot of lettuce iu the hot-beds against the brick wall where all the sanshino falls?— Would you refuse your crisp, tempting,forced salad, because it had reached perfec- tiou so rapidly ?’‘ Mother do you intend us to understandthat Regina is very tender and verdant?’ asked Mr. Lindsay,looking upfrom a gram­mar that lay open before him. ‘ I intend you Sir, to study your Hindus- tanoe, and your Tamil, while I experimentupon tha value of analogical reasoning, in ray discassions with year uncle. Now .Peyton, you see that child’s mind has beenfor nearly four years in an intellectual hot­ bed,—sunned in the light of religion^—moistened with tho dew of philosophy,—cultivated systematically with tho prongs aud hoes of regular study, of example andprecept:—and being a vigorous sprout when she was transplanted, she lias mada good use of her opportunities, —and behold 1 earlymental salad, aud very fine! lou men theorize, ratiocinate, declaim, dogmatize about abstract propositions, and finally getyour feet tangled and stumble over foots right under your noses, that womenwould never fail to pick up and put aside. The soul of Thales possesses you all,—wherois we who sit at the cradle,and guide tho little tottering feet, study tho ground and sweep away tho stumbling-blocks. Day after day you and Douglass discuss all kinds of scientific theories—and quote pagan authorities and infidel systemsiu the presence of Regina,—who sits in her low chair over there in the corner of the fire-place, as quits as a white mouse, listen­ing to every word, though Haus Christian Andersen lies open in her lap.—aud scarce­ ly winking those blue eyes of hers, that areas solemn as if they belonged to the Judges of Israel. If a child is raised in a carpen­ter’s shop, with all manner of sharp,dangerous, often two-edgsd toils scattered around in every direction, who wondersthat the little fingers nro prematurely gashed and scarred ? You and Douglas imagine she is dreaming about tho numberof elves that dance on the green sward on moonlight nights,—or tho bpangles on their lace wings ;—or that sho is studyingtho latitude and longitude of tho Capital of the last Territory which Congress elevatedto tho uncertain and tormenting dignity ofnominal self-government,—that once (vide ‘obsolete aud civil hallucinations') inheredin an American State; or perhaps you believe tho child-is longing for a pot of sugar ean-ly ? Then rub your eyes, yonecclesiastical bats, and let mo show you tho ‘outcome1 of all this wiso and learnedchat, with which you edify one another.You know sho beguiled mo into giving her lesions on the organ, as wall as on thoP:ano, and yesterday when I went over l< t tho Church at instruction hour, I was as­ tonished at a preluds, which she had evi­dently improvised. Screened from her view, listened till she finished playing.Of course I praised her (for really she has remarkable talent), and asked her when sho began to compose, to improvise. Nowwhat do suppose sho answered ? A brigade of Philadelphia lawyers could nevt rguess. She looked at mo very steadily, andsaid ns nearly as I can quote her words : •I really don't know exactly when I began,but I suppose a long time ago, when I worebrown feathers, and wont to sleep with my head under my wing, as all nightingalesdo.’ Said I : ‘What upon earth do you mean?’ Sho replied: ’Wbv of courso I mean when I was a nightingale,—before Igrew to ba a human being. Didn't you hoar Mr. Hnrgrovs lost week reading from that curious book, in which so many queerthings were told about transmigration, and how ths soul of a musical child camo fromthe nightingale, tho sweetest of singers?And don’t yon recollect that Mr. Lindsay said that Plato believed it; and thaPlotinus taught that people who lead pure lives and yet love music to access, go into the bodies of melodious birds when theydie ? Just now when I played, I was wondering how a nightingale felt, swinging in a plum treo nil white with fragrantbloom, and watching the cattle cropping buttercups and dandelions in the field. Mrs. Lindsay, if my soul is not jierfectly freshand brand-new, I hope it never went into a human body before mine,—because Iwould muchjather it camo straight to mofrom a sweet innocent bird.' • Sorely EKss, you are »s usual, jesting ?’exclaimed hsr brother. ' On the contrary I assure you I neither magnify nor smbellish. I am merely stat­ ing unvarnished facta, that you maythoroughly understand into what fertile soil your scattered gralus of learning fall. Ipromise you, with moderate cultivation itwill yield an hundredfold.’ • Mother what did you say to her, byway of a dose of orthodoxy to antidote thometempsychosis} poison ?’ asked Mr.Lind­ say, wuo could not forbear laughing, at the astonished expression of his uncle’scountenance. • At first I was positively dumb,—andstared at the child, very much as I dare­say—Mabatnaia did,—whan hfr boy Ard- dha-Cbi idi stood upon his feet and spokefive B hitH after his entrance into this world of wes,—or when at five months of age he sat unsupported in the air. Then Ishook her, and asked if sh* had gone to sleep aud dreamed she was a bulbul feed- ing on row leaves; whereupon, sh* lookedgravely dignified, and when I proceeded to reason with her oonofrning the abratd-ity of the utterly worn-out-doctrine oftransmigration, how do you suppsse she met me ? With th* information that farfrom being a worn-out-doctrine, learn*d and scientifle m*ri now living wet* revivingit as the truth; and that wh*r«M Christi­ anity was only eighteen hundred ysareold, that metempsyeh'.-sis had boon boliovadfor tw«nty-nin« centuries, and at thia day nuasbani mrre follower*, by noilhena, thanany otbsr religion in th* world.

Free discusaien should be dreadedonly by hypocrite* and fanatic*, and after all it ia the beat crucible for eliminatingtho false from tho true. Doea the contem­ plation of phyaical monstroaitia* engender a predilection or affection for deformity ?Doos it not rather by contrast with sym­ metry and perfect proportion heighten the’ power and charm of the latter? Tho i beauty of truth is never ae invincible nsi when confronted with sophistry or falso- , hoo I; just as youth and health seem doublyi fair and precious, in the presence of. trembling decrepitude and revoltingi diseise.’’ Really Bishop 1 I thought you bad pass­ ed the sophomoric stage,and it is a'shame-ful waste of dialotic ammuition to throwyonr anithese* at me. According to your doctrine, America ought to buy up and im­port all tlie deformed unfortunates who are annually exposed in China, in order, thatour people should properly appreciate the superiority of sound limbs, and the value oi tho five senses; and healthy youngpeople should throng tho lazarettos and alms-houses, lo learn the pature of Ueir own advantages. Is it equally desirablethat wiso men like you and Peyton should accustom yourselves to the society of—well—I use polite distinction,—of imbeciles, of “ innocents,” in order to set a true value on learning and yonr own astute logic ?’‘ My dear little mother you chop your logic eo furiously with a broad axe, that you darken the air with a hurricane ofchips and splinters. Like all ladies who attempt to argue, yon.rush into the reductioad abstirdum, and find it impossible to dis­criminate between ’------ ‘ Wisdom and conceit ? Bless youBishop—observation hu taught me all tho shades and dclicato gradations, of that dif­ ference. We women no more mistake thelatter for the former, than the gods, who de­ clined to turn cannibal when they went todine with Tantalus, and were*toffered a fri- cosso of Pelops. Now I ’------ * Ceres did oat of it I’ exclaimed her sonadroitly avoiding a twenk of tho car, by throwing his head back, beyond the touchof her fingers.‘A wretched pagan fable, Sir—with which orthodox Bishops should hold no communion. Tell me, you beardlessGamaliel, where you accumulated your knowledges relative to the education ofgirls ? Present ns a chart of your experi­ ence. You talk of hampering and cramp­ ing Regina’s faculties, as if I had put herbrains in a pair of stays,and daily tightcnol tho lacers.’ * I am inclined to think tho usual formsof female education have precisely that ef­ fect. The fact is mother, it appears, thatwomen in this country are expected to be­come the reserve magazines of piety, of re­ ligious fervour—on tho certain powerfulprinciple that “ ignorance is the mother of devotion.” True knowledge which springs from fearless investigation is a far nobler,and more reliable conservator of pure vitalChristianity.* * Exempli gratia—Miss Martineau andMadame Dudcrant, who are crowned beadsamong tho cognoscenti f Or perhaps you 1 would prefer a second “ La Pelouse," gov­erned by Miss Weber, who certainly agree! with yon, that “cirls are trained too deli­cately to allow the mind‘to expand.” IL J luminated and expanded by “ philosophy ” i and “ social progress " she and Madame ‘Dndovant long ago li orally abjured stays, J and glory in Lhe usurpation of vests, panta­ loons, coats and short hair. Be pleased to {fancy my Regina—my blue-eysd snow-bird <shorn of that “ Gloriole of ebon lock* on calmed brom* *• 1 I would rather see her in her coffin;— { shrouded in a ruffled pinafore.’ * Much as I love her, so would I ; butEliso wo will anticipate no such dreadful destiny. She has a clear fine mind, isstudious aud ambitions, hut certainly not a genius—unless it be in music ; and she esu be trained into a cultivated refined womansufficiently conversant with the sciences to I comprehend the contemporaneous develop­ ment, without threatening us with pedantryor adopting a style suitable to the groves of Cretans, in the days of Damo, or the ab- jstruse mystical diction that doomed Hypatia to tho mercy of the monks. After all, why scare up a blae-stockingad "ogre, which mayhave no intention of depredating upon our peace ; for to be really learned is no holiday amusement in this sumulalive age, and of­fers little temptation to a young girl. Not long since, I found a sentence bearing upon this subject which impressed itself upon mymind as both strong and healthy : “ And by this you may recognize true education from false. False education is a delight- |ful 'thing, and warms you and makes you every day think more of yourself; and |true education is a deadly cold thing with a Gorgon's head on her shield, and makes you every day think worse of yourself. 1Worse in two ways also, mors is the pity ; it is perpetually increasing the persenal < sense of ignorance, aud tho personal senseof fault,” ’ ‘ In that event, may I venture to won­ der whore and h>»w you and Douglass stand in you own estimation 2 If quota­tions aro en regie, I can match your < Reverence,—though unfortunately my •feminine memory is not like yours—a tire­less beast of burden,—and I must be al­ lowed to read.

Mr. Daly moved in amendment, second­ ed by Mr. Ellis, that the report bo referred to a committee of ths whole. . Mr. Noxon objected to going into com­ mittee of tho whole as all ths information in the possession of tha Committee was before tho Council and they could vote on th i matter intelligently without any far­ ther waste ol time. Mr. Ellis stated that he had seconded the amendment for tho purpose of gening additions’, information. Mr. Daly thought it was quite necessary to go into oommiUee. Mr. Noxon may have all the information ha requires but others of us have not. Perhaps if wa went into coxomittee Mr. Noxon could inform us what duties wars expected of the Clark, whether ho w m to sleep on the premises as bad been the eastern in past years, and whether ho was to perform tbeother duties which have heretofore been imposed on tha Market Clerk. As I understood the letting of theae tenders some have bean given to understand that they would be required to sleep at tha market while others hare not so ■ understood the condi­ tions. ; Mr. Noxon sgppjsad the duties of the C.erk were defined in the By-Law. If tho Clerk lafnsss to comply with them ho will object to sign the bond. Mr. Daly—Il is an attempt to bark dis­ cussion. Mr. Casswell—Tho tenders had been asked for on the printed conditions Adopted by previous Councils. Mr. Nox »n—If tho rules are not right they should have been altered before the tenders were asked f*r. Mr. Daly — Did not object before because there had been no opportu­ nity to do so. Hod always understood that it was one of the stipulations that tho Clerk should sleep in tho building in order to bo ou hand-to ring tho fire alarm. Mr. Noxon—The Council had liad such a law, but after trying it for a time re­ pealed it. The amendment and resolution were then put aud tt:« arneudmeHt to go into committee waa carried by tbe casting vote of the Mayoy. The Council accordingly went into Com­ mittee of the whole with Mr. Vanco in the choir. Mr. Casswoll, as Chairman ef thal Com­ mittee, stated that the tenders had been opened publicly and they.have recom­ mended the acceptance of the iughest bid­ der. The some, conditions havo been stated to all tbe applicants as are con­ tained in the Consolidated Statutes. Mr. Noxon moved, seconded by Mr. Brown, that the Committee do now rise and recommend the adoption ef the report without amendment. Mr. Daly—Are wo to leave this $20,000 worth of property without a proper custo­ dian ? Mr. Galliford and Mr. Ross, have been in years past and we should know who is to do it in ths future. Mr. Daly then present a petition . signed by about fifty ratepayers asking that it be one of the conditions of agreement that tho Market Clerk should sleep on tho premises. Mr. Noxon had beard of this petition, but be believed that its prayer was at­ tempted to bs forced upon the town iu order to exclude competent and responsible persons from tendering. Tha motion was put aud carried aud the Council resumed. On motion of Mr. Noxon, secondeil by Mr. Brown, tbe report of the Committee of the whole was adopted. Mr. Casswell stated that complaints had been made to him by butchers renting stalls that outsiders were allowed to come upon the market and ent up and sell meat cofltrary to an agreement entered into with them when they rented the stalls. Mr. Daly offered a resolution askingleave to bring in a By-Law for the appoint- msnt of a Lictnae Inspector and to regu­ late taverns and shops and for licensingthe same. Mr. Noxon explained that early in tbe year a Coin mi l tea had recommended thsabolition of tbe office of LieeoM Inspector which was adopted. Tha Dunkin Act had been voted npon aud carried bv the electors,and if there waa anything illegal in its pauage whereby it might become inopera­ tive, which be was very sure wu not thecast, we have tha By-Law of last year nndar the Crooks Aet which still remains in foroo and will hold good for the coming year. Mr. Daly withdrew hia reeolutiin.

Staarl and King have now get •heir now mill north of the G. W. Railway Board af Education. The regular monthly matting of the Board of School Tmsteex was held on Monday evafftag. * Freaent—Tiro Chapman, Mr. Chadwick, in the chair, and Messrs. FergnM<in,Crage, Watter'forth, EIng, Bain, Seldon, Bell, Eakins and Grisp. Tbv minutes of the last* meeting were rv.d and confirmed. Ur. Chadwick, chairman elected for the current year, after thanking the Board for the honor again cea|erred npon him, said : I have thought it would not be out of place to present a few general remarks to you iu relation to the present condition of the schools under our charge, believing that they will bear a fair criticism in comparison R'itfi other schools of like standing with our own. The year that is just .past has bc^n ©no of fair success in the progress education as imparted by the institutions of our town, and if parents aud gwudians would but bestow a little more |y*raonal interest,.by risiting and otherwise investigating the progress made, I think the schools would be more appreciated. My owa observations, together with an offi­ cial connection yith them for the greater part of the last twenty-five years, has developed a wonderful progress since the time that a small frame school house and one teacher dis­ charged all the duties connected therewith. W* have now commodious brick buildings and a staff of eleven toodtera in connection with tbe Public School and also a principal audassistant in our High bchool, all of wnom 1believe 1 may say without exccptun, arc dis­ charging the important and responsible duty'intrusted to them efficiently aud conscien­tiously, entertaiumg a friendly rivalry with each other. A short synopsis of the work in the Public School may not be unintercstiagto the Board. 'The junior departments areall pushing forward their pupils, preparin; them for entrance into#tlie higher grades,while the aim of the upper rooms is to pre­pare pepils for an entrance into tho high School ; yet several branches are tanght, by which pup. Is may be better prepared for activelife m ca*e they leave before this period. In lS7d twelve pupils left t.ie schoul permanent­ ly ; twenty-oue have takeu positions as clerksor are learning trades, ami twenty-four haveleft the town. ' All these were from the four upper rooms. All the pupils in roam No. 1have been tan ;ht bujK-keuping and commer­cial arithmetic during tho year, and Loys from Nos. 2 and 3 have been allowed to at­ tend these cluses. In addition to the ordin­ary elementary subjects, prefixes arc com­ menced in No. 6, continued aud completed in Ne. 5; in No. 4 the aihxcs are completed ;No. 3 gives the first half of latin route, andthey are continued and completed in No. 2 ; the Greek roots are completed in No. 1 ; amitho pupils have then a good knowledge of themeaning of ali derivative words. These sub­jects, history, book-keeping and derivation, arc not taught in many of the Public Schoolsof other towns. Fewer cases of severe pun­ishment have occurred in the past year than in any previous uno and while the excellencoand efficiency of oidor was maintainedonly two cx-es were reported to the Teacher's Comm ttee or principal, and these were notby* any ineass s/rlous. 1 am sorry to have to state that truancy has besu on the increase,no l.M than thirty-five pupils have playedtruant one or more tunes, an I ' seven of thesehave become so confirmed iu the habit that the principal alvisus me they should l-c ex­pelled from the school, their influence beingdetrimental to the interests of the institution. A comparison of the aggregate and averagemonthly attendance fur tho post few yearsmay nut be out of place :—Number on roll, in 1873 583, average 450 ; 1874, 533, average4G3 ; 1875, 144. average 487 ; 1875, 103,average, 517 ; showing a gradual and steadyincrease. The percentage of aliscntces is as follows : — 187d, 21,1874, 22.1875,24, 1876, 21,average of 22J fur the past four years. Thiaaverage seem* high and it may be for the con­ sideration of the Board whether in the exist­ing state of the law, it might not be advisableto take steps for reducing this large number by applying the powers at their command to compel attend in x, on the principle that ifnational neccs ity demands free schools it also demands .»reasonably regular attendance, as I conclude that the real basis on which ourlice school system rests is that the future welfare of our country demands that no man,be he poor or not, shall have tbe slightestexcuse for allowing hw children to grow up in ignorance. The schools being now freethere is HO longer any excuse for childrenwandering idly through tho streets under­ going a training iu those vices of whichignorance is the fitting aud prolific parent A wrong is IL.ncted on the community when a vuild is allowed to grow up in ignorance, in­heriting all tbe privileges of a. free man, yet destitute of that mental culture and disciplineindispensable to their safe and proper cxerciae.The question ,of school expense* has been a question of more or less criticism for some 'time past with thu citizcua and, gen'le-men, it is a very important question,and a very fair one for criticism and though the expense in the aggregate doe* seem a largesum, yet I am of the opinio* that to main­tain the efficiency of the institution, anil in­ sure the best interest of the trust committed to our care, no greater economy can be exer­cised than has been piacticed by the Board, the desire of all being efficiency and economy. Tho salaries of odr teachers are not in excessof those of other similar places, as the follow­ing list will show, nor do 1 think we have a teacher in the staff but can realize the sameor greater salary than wo are paying else­where, and I contend that if worth the same in other places they are worth it to us. 1 have ascertained the sum* paid in a numberof town* in Ontario, as well as some of therural Schools which range as follow* ;Principal Galt, $1,000, $300, $500, withother*.Stratford $800. Berlin, $800, $500, $400, and several others.St Catharines, $1,000.Brantford, $1,000, $500, $103, $330, $30d.Paisley. $700, Woodstock, two principals at $600 each,with unly county eetuiicate*. Hamiltoo, $850, $700, $600, $500, with an Inspector at $1,503 who acts as PrinciualLondon, $803, $700, $600, $500, irth anlospactor at $1,000 who acts as Principal. In wme of the rural schools of our CountyI find that M t Elgin pxys, $850; Sec. No. S.East Oxford, $600; Sec. No. 6, South Nor­wich. $600; Sec. No. 6, Dtrebam, has offered $750 for a teacher.From these it will be seen, when wo takeinto account the standing of our school in comparison with others, our salaries paid are not excessive. 1 will now take the compara­tive coat per pupil, taking it at the averageattendance aud also at the whole school popu­ lation. tho Utter, I believe, is the bans upon which this comparison is usually made. Thetotal cost of our school for 1876 ctednoting from tb* total sum tbe amount paid for lot and extra repair, amounts to $6 163. Thenumber of cmIRren erf school age within thecorporation is 1.135; who are educated at a cost of $5.68 per pupil per annum, taking the attendance at 663. Uie oost per pupil |* >J.21per anna*. This 1 think cannot be ealted anextravagant sum to pay for a year's tuition. I heartily endorse the following sentiments of th* School Inspector for the County of Brant,jvbo says, •* It is impossible to fi» exactlytbs money equivalent for the service* of > thoroughly competent teacher ; such a man's merite are not to be weighed in the paltryscale of pecuniary considerations. So soon asthe merit* of »ubh a one is discovered trustees should mark their appreciation of it, and Murald e * no aocctat naffer the difference ofa tew dollar* to eever tbe connect* *n between flciency during their short stay. In tha de­ partment of Enitish, mathemat'c* and sciencethe remits are much more satisfactory. Ac­cording to the last tenort of tho Higfi School Inspectors twenty throe schools have been placed above ours, while being hi a clvsa ofsixteen others, there are antne sixty fiveschools rank*! below outs. The raising ofthe standard of entrance examination in tbe year 1873. while it w m felt in cutting downthe numbers of the suhool, had ths effect ofincroMing its efficiency, and the recent intro­ duction of the intermediate examination, in dividinc the school into lower and upperHigh Schools, has raised the standard tosuch a Aogree that from forty to fifty school* havn not been abla to paw a siogls candidatedaring the y<ar. The standing of the HighS.-hool now d spends more on the work done than-on the number attending, inasmuch asthe payment is by results. The prospectthia year for our school is bettor than last aswe have the greater number of the pupils of last year attending the present year. Ihipe the Boanl v.ill long be able t » retain the Mr-view *>f the present principal and that onrHigh School will go on proaier'ng til) :t at­ tains to the first rank among the High Schoelsof our country. In conclusion I would saythat my earnest hope is that the aim of theBoard will continue to be to perpetrate the inestimable blessing of a free, comprehensiveand Christian education for every child inour town. I have the honor to bo Your obedient servant, C. E. CHADWICK;Chairman. Several accounts were then presented. A communication waa read from the County Council, slating that Mr. C.
