The Toronto Mail of Monday, Jul) lfvth. has the following; to say in re- gard to applications for grants and t'ittgllillily of applicants: The applit'ations {or military latnd grants lthlUl' the Act of the last ses- sion of the l’rovinuial Legislatnie continue to pour into the Crown Lands lh'partment. It is impossible for the stafl that can le assigned to this duty to reply promptly to the mass of correspondence, so that smut p.ttience will ban- to be exercised by applicants. 'l‘bere seene to be a con- siderable misapprehension in the minds of some of the Fenian Raid Veterans as to those who are entitled to a land grant. A number of them seem to think that every petson who \VUS enrolled or who received a medal is entitled to a grant. but the law is very clear that only those who were engaged in active service in defence of the frontier of the province in the years 18655, 1366 and 1870 are entitled to the land grant. or the next. of kin of those who died through wounds or disease contracted during such service within six months from the c nnpletion thereol. A great number of the application forms have been sent out. and they are beginning to cnne in. and people seem to think that. they can immediately proceed to locate, but it will be necessary {or these atlidavits to be examined and the parties notified that they are on titled under the Act belore they pro- ceed to select land. Rev. Principal Grant, of Queen’s University, in an address delivered recently in Detroit on " Some of our Mistakes” attached the Manual training futl in our public school, admitting. ltOWo-ver. the need of good technical school-i of the best kind.

WC (l 'ltallilwr's Journal.) When Sir Archibald Campbell was liovernor of New Brunswick he chanced to meet with an aged High- lander of the name of MacLean, who had done brave soldierly service for his country. and had borne himself well in many a fierce encounter. After his discharge he had settled in the woods; but things had not gone smoothly with him. and his circum- stances were quite straitened. An- xious to befriend him, His Excellency invited him to make his home at. Government. House. where he could find easy work to do in blacking boots and shoes and such like little things. The old man was quite in- dignant. the hot blood mounting to his cheeks: and drawing himSelf up to his full height, he replied. with all the dignity of 8. lord. “Na. na. Sir-ha, na. A M acLean never black~ it a boot for a Campbell.” He pre- ferred privation with independence on the farm to ease as a menial in a rich man’s houseâ€"«a leeling that was appreciated by no one more warmlv than by the genial and kind-hearted Governor. 'l‘hat the declaration required of the Sovereign on his accession by the Billet Rights can he modified ad- vantageously, and for the future should be as follows, viz:--â€" l. by the grace of God, King (or Queen) of (in-at Britain and Ireland. i’t‘irlttit‘!’ of the Faith, do solemnly and sincerely. in the presence of God, profess. testify and declare that.

THE CORONATION OATH. TBUBBDAY. Shortly after two o’clock a goodly number of Orangemen and others found their way to the platform on the common where the addresses were to be delivered. Mr. 'l‘hos. McFadden. occupied the chair and after a few preliminary remarks, he introduced the Rev. Mr. Pomeroy, Methodist Minister. of Varney, an enthusiastic Orangeman. and a gen- tleman well known in Durham and vicinity. His address was brief and Spirited, just the kind that many of the audience delighted to hear. Sim- ilarly enthusiastic and eloquentzad- dresses were made by Rev. W. Mc- Gregor, Rev. W. Farquharson, Rev. Wray Smith and Rev. Rural Dean R; an, all resident clergyman of the town. We have neither time nor space to go into. details more than to say that the attention and applause assures us that their remarks were much appreciated. At the close of the morning parade, the procession broke up till two o’rlock. In the meantime they re- gait-u thunseives in demand to the cravings of nature, and on re-forming in the afternoon they had abright and happy appearance. The meeting closed with the Na- tionsl Anthem. after which the lodges returned to the town and in due time to their respective homes with a happy send ofi from the home lodges. THE MASTERS. Geo. A.

'l‘he Swinton Park Lodge got the $10 prize for having the largest mem- bership in attendance and were it not that no Lodge was to get more than one prize they would be entitled to number ten dollars for coming the greateSt distance. The ten dollar prize for best regalia went to Glen- elg Lodge No. 1192, Greenside Lodge No. 861 got the “ dietance ” prize, and Alexander Bell, of Glenelg Lodge was the happy recipient of a $5 prize aor being the oldest member of Orangeisrn. For :34 years Mr. Bell has been an Orangeman continuously a ithout a breach and he has also the distinguished honor of having his name enrolled as charter member of three or {our lodges. Shortly after entering the town a procession was formed led by the Durham Band properly marshalled by Mr. John Williams, and the whole procession, by Lodges marched to Upper Town and. along the principal streets. “ They are certainly a line body of men,” was the remark we heard from more than one Spectator as they paSsed in the procession. Swinton Park Lodge had the largest attendance, and were well supplied with handsome regalia, and led by a magnificent life and drum band. lhey were mostly young men, of ex- cellent physique and conducted them- selves in the parade and during the day in most admirable style. In [act the Orangemen all conducted themselves well and from morning till night there wasn’t a sign of dis- cord amongst them. The Lacrosse boys’ concert was fairly well attended, but u expenses were high they didn’t increase their food: very much by it. About ten o’clock the visiting Lodges began to arrive and accord mg to the usual custom on such oc- cusions the Durham Band and the Durham Lodge went out to meet .lwm, bid them welcome and escort them to the town. The visiting Lodges were Greenside No. 861 with nbOut do or 40 regalied members. dwinton Park Lodge between 70 and au strong, Glenelg Lodge 1192 of about bu members and Vurney Lodge No. 681 with about 40 members. Besides these the members of Allen Park Lodge were present. but not as The Ladies’ Aid of the Methodist Church gave dinner and tea in the town hall and cleared 89567. The order was good. not an orange man as far on we know being guilty of a single impropriety. The decorations were not vezy elaborate. the principal being along Gstafraxs street which was lined for some disunce with evergreens. We didn’t count the lemonade cents but there was no need of anyone go- in; far without hearing the voice of liquid refreshment vendors. Mr. Geo. Ryan deserves a vote of thanks for putting up the only arch in town. The long looked for twelfth of July demonstration is now a thing of the past and everything has aettled down to a normal , state of quietude. Through some misunderstanding, a failure of ability to make arrange- ments, or through having made prev- ious arrangements to go elsewhere, 3 number of the Lodges iu the district did not put in an appearance, and consequently the attendance of mem- bers of the fraternity was smaller than was expeCted. Besides the Durham Lodge there were four visit- ing Lodges in attendance, and with the tiniest ol weather throughout the u hole day a. very pleasant, profitable and refreshing time was the result of the annual reunion.
