It is to these, “ to infidel education, that must be “ attributed the‘ contempt for God ‘° and law, which eminently cha- “ ractcrise the youth of the preSent “day, 8:0.” ' The question is,is the turpitudc of our youth to be traced to our Common Schools?

WE hope all our readers who re- side in Vaughan will peruse the Council minutes, as it will be seen from a resolution. proposed by Mr. Jeffery, and seconded by Mr. Arnold, that wideâ€"spread dissatis- faction, exists relative to the late survey; and a Special meeting will be called by the Reeve in a few days, to hear all complaints that may be made as to the manner in which the Surveyor has performed his duties, and we hope that any who feel themselves aggrieved will attend that meeting, of which due notice will be given. But we would recommend all to read attentively the act which has been passed, ere they weary the Council with their complaints; for if Mr. Dennis has surveyed according to the act, and fulfilled his centract,the Council can do nothing in the, matter. The act is passed, andthc contract was ac- cepted, and the work has been done, and unless it can be shown that he has not fulfilled his con- tract, the Council will not have power to remedy any evils. The fact is the people of Vaughan have only themselves to blame. They entered too liastily and stupidly into the business altogether, and the re- sult is that they have paid $2000 in hard cash for a survey, that to carry endless litigation. We hope, payers a lesson for the future; and as the time is at hand when they will have to select Councilmen for another year, we hope they wiil se- lect men who will be more careful how they spend their hard cash.â€"-â€" The rate-payers of \Vard N0. 2 are stirring; and this evening (Friday) will "meet of Maple to nominate a man to serve them.
