It is rumored that at the next meeting of the Public School'Board all the teachers, as well as the Inspector, will be invited to hand in their resignation, so that educational matters may take a fresh start with a clean slate. `A good many are hoping that the rumor ' has a solid foundation, `as there would be a possibility of discovering the loose educational screw that keeps the schools here on the ragged edge. Another rumor is, that as a successful head master cannot `be found, the Inspector will be offered the position with freedom from trustee control. ' couldnt See Their Way clear. I The License Commissioners met last Thursday to consider a petition largely signed asking that a liquor license be grant- ed to Mr. Angus Cameron. The three commissioners were present and Inspector Morrow. Several `clergyman were there to. oppose the granting the prayer of the - petition. Mr. McIntyre a lawyer was re- I sent on behalf of Mr Cameron. The w ole " matter was discussed with warmth and en- ergy, but the commissioners declined grant-. ing the license. The Board had at a previous - meeting assed a resolution limitin the number 0? licenses to be granted in arrie and to that they resolutely adhered. Last Sunday a lad about 17 years of age ! named James Glenny was arrested, charged with an indecent assault on a little boy, son : of_ Mr. D Powell.

The Emperor, after notifying all Tartar" Generals and other functionaries through- out his domioions thatthey must punis 2` those miscreants who interfere with t, missionaries or spread , false reports about them, and after saying that Chinese con-' verts must be allowed to live in peace, made this marvellous announcement, unparalleled in `the annals of China :' " The doctrine of Christianity has for its purpose the teaching of men to be good. The imperial decree in which the Chris- tian religion is thus spoken of is promul- gated for the information and guidance of all his subjects, who number between three and four hundred millions. It is issued to a people, the great body of whom are called pagans, by an Emperor who is apt to be described by Christians- as a pagan, through a council of vMiuis- ters who do not believe in the Christian religion. Yet. this Emperor attributes to Christianity the sunshine pur ose of teaching men to be good. he im- perial decree, which has by this time been promulgated over China, must give the Chinese people a new and amazing idea concerning the nature and purpose of Christianity. wusvsa uv vvvvus. vv vuu Iuunv Ill 1319:`.
