The subject of ornament- ing the grounds with owers and shrubs was taken up.` Mr. Pnrvis contended that. education was not altogether obtained by scholastic drill in the school room, but that the pupil unconsciously drank in lessons] bearing on hisoourse through life by the objects that met his eye. The love of the msthetic should be cultivated by the grounds being adorned with owers and shrubs. On motion ot Mr. Purvis, seconded by Mr. Hewson, ordered that the Chairman and Secretary be a committee to procure plants for the schools and have them put in, the same tocost not more than $25.

The destructive propensities of Young Canada are visible in breaking the stones of the wall in front of the Salvation Army barracks.

What About the Jubilee`! . ' DEAR SIR,-Oan you tell me whether any- tning is going to be done in this town to com- memorate the jubilee year of our beloved Queen? I think 1 saw in the Anvance some time ago that it was intended to do some- thing in that way on Dominion _Day. but having heard of no preparations being, made to` celebrate so unusual an event in our history, I feared -that like a good many other things that have been talked of here, it would end in mere talk. The illuminated clock and the drinking fountain have been dis- missed as impracticable or impossible in the present condition of the town's nances, If anything is to be done I should think it is about time to determine what it shall be. I, and some of my neighbors, who are. not ashamed to confess, that if loyalty is only a sentiment would like to give some mani- festation of it on an occasion so auspicious as a Queen s Jubilee. Has the committee which was appointed to give form to the views of the meeting held at the Council Chamber some weeks ago disbanded, or is it waiting for the same reason that Micawber waited? If Barrie is not going to take any notice of the Jubilee year please let us know it. - Yours, &c.., Barrie, May 11th. Exemsnmax.

We have plenty of boats. and lots of boating, but the "exercise now adays is not calculated to produce the skill, developement of muscle and endurance which it ought. An appeal is made to our young men to make` an endeavor to restore something of the depart- ed aquatic lory of Kempenfeldt Bay's past history.

'_ Quietly his years glided by, a life singularly , A painful feeling spread throu h the town [ early last week when it became` nown that Mr. William McCony -had been stricken down with paralysis the brain. Although he had passedseveral years beyond the three score and ten, he -was possessed of such a ne physique and so equable a disposition that there seemed no reason to doubt but that he might reach a great-age. But it was otherwise ordered. On Monday morning he was found in bed in a semi-conscious con- dition, `and from the first little hope was entertained of his recovery. He rallied some- what on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, but after Wednesday at noon he gradually sank and passed peacefully` away in the midst of his family on Friday morning at 1. 30 a`. m. A sketch of his life will be given on another occasion. The_ barest facts are here given. Born in County Tyrone, Ireland, on the 14th of June, 1813, he came to Canada f with his father in 1822. After moving about from place to place for a time, the family finally settled in Innisfil. In 1837 he obeyed` the call for volunteers to put down the Rebellion, but that ill advised movement was over before he and his fellow-volunteers reached the scene of action. In 1819 he was married to Grace Johnston, and his married. life, which was -singularly happy extended over 35 years. About 12 years agoMr. Mc- Conkey retired from `farming to spend the remainder of his days in Bradford, and lived [ there till about 3 years ago when, on they ' death of his wife, he came to Barrie to live with his son-in-law. Mr. J. M. Hunter. happy, and free from stain. The fear of the Lord was before his eyes. His remains were intered on Sunday last in the Presbyterian Cemetery, Innisl, in the midst of the. dust of his kindred. In Barrie a brief service was conducted at the house by Rev. Mr. McLeod,` and in the 6th line church, Innisl a. longer service was held by Rev. Mr. McConnell. Both in Barrie and in_ Innisl a very large number of friends came together to pay the last mark of respect to. the de arted. The Vi | tribute on_ all hands was this- illiam Mc- j _.__-..

Clarke & Co s and the Bank of Commerce is to "be taken down and an awning substituted. This is the beginning of an improvement which will, we hope, 39 on until the unsightly verandahs and cross signs have all been removed from our main business street. If this were done and granolithic pavement substituted for the- uneven and _worn planks now ` there, the `street would look ve hundred per cent better and could not fail of aiding and en- couraging business. There are but few towns and villages of any pretension west of Toronto that tolerate the` verandahs and cross signs In many places the merchants have voluntarily abolished them, and in other places they have been taken away by municipal enactment as dangerous re traps. We commend these suggestions to the atten- tion of our business men, and as improve- ment in the town is the order of the day, it is to be hoped that sweeping away these re- liques of a bygone age will be one of the im- provements. -----oo-o----- \J&Ill.IJ-I15 Up nawvuu an Inn wu- The Inspector has posted notices declaring that all householders who have not complied with the regulations of the Board of Health and cleared away all rubbish from the pre- mises and disinfected privies and all places requiring it, that after the I0th inst., they are liable to prosecution.

Effect of Music. Last Thursday night the music of the Band as the match was being made through town, _ set a team which wasstanding in the lane near the old post oice dancing. The team belonged to a Mr. Neil, and they set off at a race-course pace through the streets towards a home, the direction being up Bayeld street. Whether there was any breakage or not we have not heard, but strange to say` nobody was hurt. Teams are too often left in the streets imperfectly secured or not fastened at all. Such negligence by which life and roperty are endangered, is in the highest egreehblameworthy and deserving of punish- ment. We have often called the attention of the municipal authorities to this matter, and _ we hope some measures will be enforced against the criminal negligence which causes an vnnnv rurnnwava in the town. ugluuuu uuu Ul. uuuuau u-.5..5v....- > .

Mr. J .: McNab was voted to the chair. and Mr. TW. Ramage acted as secretary. Some discussion ensued. when on motion of Mr. Booth, see. by Mr. Dowell, it was resolved that the proposed half holiday should extend from 1st July to last of August. On motion the following were appointed a committee to` wait on the- merchants to obtain their assent to the request of the clerks: Messrs. J . McNa.b,_ J. A. McIntosh, F. Crease, W. Hurst, J. Dowell and J. Smith. The meeting then adjourned till Friday night, May 20th, when the committee will report the result of their interyiew with the merchants. - Waterworks. The plans and estimates for a system of waterworks here are being prepared by the engineer and will soon be in the possession of the council. In the meantime `Reeve Cross is obtaining information from all available sources on the question of waterworks in places where such exist, so that when the timecomes to submit ' the question for the neople s approval the whole matter shall be in the most intelligible shape. The engineer who examined this locality, states that there is no town with which he is acquainted more favorably situated for a system of waterworks.
