The men were chiey old and worn out specimens of humanity, whose only I crime was poverty and vaqrancv. Fourteen out of the whole were unable to work, one was an idiot, one conned to his bed trom some serious ailment, one, who remains in bed nearly all his time, though what is real- ly the matter has not been ascertained. This man has been an inmate of the gaol nearly two years.` One man, a tall, stc ut man about 60 years of age, from Nottawa- saga. is mentally unbalanced.

He was perfectly rational and stated that the impulse to kill was sometimes strong upon him with the thought that with- out the shedding of blood there is no remis- sion of sin.

The Candian Observer for May, published in Toronto in the interests of the A. 0. U.

But owing to un- controllable circumstances our design was frustrated.

"English as she is Tausht. ' - Dun SIR,-_-Miss Le Row s collection of r answers to questions in the public 9.911001` has afforded no little amusement to the English-speaking world. Every -tench. however. knows that such answers -W111 50 foundin every mixed school,_but it by no means follows that they furnish proof Of. 011- erally defective teaching. That the 015- house style of teaching in some of our school! to accomplish certain results at examination, end in a certain amount of crudity and un- rfection, there can be no doubt, but gen- erally the tault lies in the system rather than in the shortcomings of the _teacher. The grotesque answers to the questions are chiey in history. As history requires shought and maturity of judgment, to right- ly comprehend. which, from the age of the - student pursuing this subject at our. schools, he cannot be supposed to possess the ana- wers, cannbt be wondered at. Too much is sought to be crowded into a certain time,` and vague ideas, mixing and muddling things that are. distinct, is the result. T00 often stifdents in history have but an imper- fect knowledge of orthography and gramma- tical forms, have no skill in writing their` language, mistake names and in a parrot- like way try to reproduce from an imperfect recollection of previous teaching and reading historical events. and hence must necessarily fail. Harper s VVeek]y gives specimens of answers from the American schools which ` indicate the same results as are in English as she is taught"` among our neighbors. I Here are a. few specimens : 'r}{1; LEGEND or THE TROJAN WAR. The son of the King of Spata abused the hospitality of the King of Troy by carrying off his beautiful daughter, Helen, at this, the Grecians ew to arms to discover the faithless woman.

Miss Sibbald is a clever pianist, but there was nothing remarkably striking in the selections she gave; With so_much excellent amateur musical talent in the town anyone coming from abroad must give something of a very high character to excite special interest. The performances` met with con- siderable applause, but it lacked enthusiasm.` The programme was a little too long, which to -a `certain extent detracted from the pleasure of the first hour and a half.
