Some insurance agents, in some parts of the country, do not take risks on employees on freight trains ; but conâ€" ducters and brakemén on passenger trains are insured by their paying an extra per centom. Railroad men say that only about twentyâ€"five per cent, of the brakemen on freight tra‘ims die a natural death ; also, that the avérage life of the brakeman, after he goes on the road, is about ten years.â€" Boaton Commercial Bulletin. We therefore venture to assert that it is a fact that the public has no idea of the number of accidents that occur on the varâ€" ious railroads throughout the country every day ; and it is also true that there is no voâ€" cation so fraught wih danger to life ond limb, as that of the brakeman on our railâ€" roads, particularly on freight trains, men on passenger trains have a great many lives entrusted to their care, and conseâ€" quently have a greater responsibility rest ing upon them than that which rests upon the freight men. The brakemen on our roads find it quite difficult to get their lives insured. It is estiâ€" mated that there are at least ten brakemen killed through the country every day. The reader of the daily newspaper learns how this class of men are killed or maimed, coupling cars and making up trains, while others are knocked from the tops of cars by bridges, or slip or fall, or are injured or killed in collisions. Then there rmust be at least t ree timmes as many brakemen injured as are killed of whom the public knows noâ€" thing about or gets no account. At the lowest caleulation if ten brakeâ€" men are killed every day, that would be equivalent to 8,650 during the year, which, added to the number of injuries in various ways while on daty, would give the snm total of deaths and ivnjnries about 14,600 a year. _ These are frightfal fignres of a fr tality, a loss of life or injury to the body that is attributed either to rccidents, careâ€" ‘ lessness or negligence. | ‘ About four o‘clock a large number asâ€"] ; sembled in the barn, where an elevated | platform had been raised for the accomoâ€" dation of those who might be called on to | | speak, and here most favorable expressions ; were given of t‘ e institution, its chject and ‘use"allzes.

The centre of theimagination in childâ€" ren is necessary to prepare them for subâ€" sequent discovery and invention. A boy lives much in day dreams. Not that he is forgettnl of fact, oven while in the full purâ€" suit of ficti>n. â€"Indeed 4e is always burnâ€" ing for facts. He wishes to know what glass is, where Robinson Crusoe was buried, how much goldâ€"it takes to make the inside cf a watch, why the sun sets later in June than in December, what thunder is, if the end of the rainâ€"vow touches the ground, why firing off a cannon once made a man de«af, what sago is, and a 'thonsand other things, which papa, not being a walkingenâ€" cyolopzdia, is not always ready to tell him. And whatever answer he can obtain he. is ; © 1. ‘The culture of the imagination in , . children is necessary to the healthy, aetivp " ‘ and progressive condition of their mind.â€" ') The food of a child‘s mind must be fiction as well as fact. "The mind of a cluld," ~ says a wise thinker, *is like the acorn, its _ powers are folded up, they do not yet apâ€" i pear, but they are all there. â€" The memory, | the judgement, the invention, the feeling | of right and wrong, are all in his mind, | eyen of an infant just born,. One by one | they awake." _ His imaginationâ€"one of ;w powers that awaken witlinn A before he has paesed through the mysteries of pap, and found out that" beinp naughty diffors from being goodâ€"must be l fed. And fed it will be; either on the! ! makeâ€"believe talk af his sister Mary nursâ€" ‘ ing her doll, the idle stories of Betsey the | nursemaid, when he is naughty, about ( | "Bogey" and the "Black man" who ecarâ€" ! mes off bad boys; or about the golden fairy |I | who is to giye him toff:y and gingerbread { â€"when he is good. Byâ€"andâ€"bye, as he grows older, his sister Mary reads to him, and at last he learns to read for himself,| the charming adventures of the "Fox nmli the Creow," _ "Billyâ€"goat Gruff," "Sinbad the Smilor, or "Diamonds and Pearls;" the â€"delicious history of "*Puss in Boots," the tragedy of "Bluebeard," or the heroic | drama of "Jack the Giantâ€"killer." But whichever of these, or a hundred other such delightful pages,his faith is boundless. lHapviest of mortals, for a tima at least, he l can believe all he reads; with one bappy | proviso that if it is not true, it ought to be, aye, and is, because his sister says so. While he is absorbed in the misfortunes of ' the *Tin Soldier" or the "Ugly Dack," the breakfast bell is unheard, and dinner unâ€" hecded; he is feasting in Dreamland, on stirabout in the Giant‘s Castle, or on those fimous cheeseâ€"cakes of Queen Schehereâ€" zade, whose vital charm was pepper. It is therefore, to us a matter of prime conâ€" cern to engage the mind of children, not in' the trivialities, figments, and improbabili+ ties of fancy, bnt in the lofty themes, veriâ€" ties, and possibrities of imagination, the mind of shildren, receives vigour, and eleâ€" vation. | 2 The enlture of imagination in children , is necessury, to form in them & fine taste.| Children are naturally fond of flowers, of| pictures, and of every thing that speaks wl the eye or fancy. In regard to anything| of the kind they say with emphasisâ€""it is ; pretty." If this predisposition in children ! to admire the beautiful, the picturesque and . the fanciful is cultivated by skillful !mndn,l and fed with proper materials, they wili} have in themselves a taste trained to apâ€" é preciate the genial hnwour of a Cowper,| the sublimity of a Milton and the spurkliug’ pages of a Macauley; to enjoy the artistioi zest the painting of a Raplael, the statutâ€"| wy of a Phido,and the music of a Handel ;: to view with a critical eye the snrfrce of the earth, varied with endless forms of! beanty, the glory of the heavens begemmed with ‘the sparkling worlds, and all the phases of nature glowing with poetry, In the education of children love is first to be instilled, and, out of loye, obedience is to be educed. Then impulse and power should be given to the intellect, and the ends of a moral being exhibited. For this object, thus mueh is effected by works of imaginationâ€"that they carry the mind out of self, show the possible of the good and the great=in the human character. The height, whatever it may be, of the imaginâ€" ative standard will do no harm; we are commanded to imitate some one who is inimitable. We should address ourselves to those freulties in a clhild‘s mindy which are first awakened by nature, and, conseâ€" quently, first admit of cultivation, that is to say, the memory and the imagination. The comparing power, the judgement, is not at that age active, and ought not to be forcibly excited, as is too frequently and | mnstakenly done, in the modern uystems of} | education, which can only lead to selfish views,â€"debtor and ereditor prineiples of virâ€" ' tue, and av inflated sense of merit. In the imagination of man exist the seeds of all moral and scentifie improvement. | Chemistry was first alchemy ; and out of | astrology sprang astronomy. In the childâ€"| hood of those eciences, the imaginntion.] opened a way and furnished materials, on ; which the ratiocin itive p@wer in a maturer state operatod with snecess The imaginâ€" ; ation is a distinguishing ebfracteristie of | man, as a. progressive being; and repeat 4 that it ought to be carefully gnided and { strengthened, as the indispentible means, n and instrument of continued amefioration and refinement. Let us therefore place it ; before you under the threefold aspect.â€" I The Culture of Imagination in Children. C 4e o > > I anryours, W.C. Curisror, Warden. Moved by Mr. Murdoch, seconded hy Mr. Lawrence, That a committee ot five be now balloted for to report on the Warden‘s In conclusion I have only to add, that as usual, I trust our deliberations will be characterized by <the greatest harmony ; and I shall not delay in placing papers beâ€" fore you promptly. _ _ For the benefit of the members of this Counneil who do not knowâ€"myself inclucâ€" edâ€"it would be we‘!l to understand by what authority those large sums of money were paid under the head of "Board of Examâ€" iners." "July examinations" and "Deâ€" cember Examinations." It seems so anâ€" omalous that any person or personsshould have power to draw from onr Treasury, unless empowered by either the statute or authority from the Council. Under wither case, it must, I think, appear reasonable that before paid, these recounts should pass the scratiny cf the Comâ€" mittees of tl:is council, who are the enstoâ€" dians of the people‘s money. If it be eustomary so to do, merely, it must be bad; having drawn your attention to it, I am sure you will give the matter your conâ€" sideration. * 1 The equalization of Assesment at this session will require your carefulattention. in examining the printed minutes and Auditors Report, their get up is exceptionâ€" ally good ; and I am sure the Report shows studious care, The accounts are so simpliâ€" fied that the most simple cannot be exensâ€" ed if he fails to comprehend them. The sums grarted for those labors have been well carnedâ€"but I regret that the picture is marred by the lateness of their publicaâ€" tion. | The accunmnlated interest on By Law i 174, or the T. G. & B. R. Byâ€"Law will no doubt interest gentlemen respecting the ! group, and with the assistance of the Counâ€" | cil will determin whether there shall be an ) annual distribution of this interest or not. The question of leasing the T. G.& B. R., is n subject engrossing the public mind, and is fraught with considerable importâ€" ance to the municipalities interestedâ€"even the late Grand Jury failed noé to express an opinion on the subject. It will not be forgotton that a large deputation waited on the Governinent of Ontario & short time ago, to impress them that it was their duty to use their prerogative, a power inâ€" vested in them by an Act of the last Proâ€" vincial Parliament, agrinst an arrangeâ€" ment with the Northern and Hamilton and Northwestern Railways. Such it was alâ€" leged, and as L believe, wonld be inimical to the intetests of this County, the road itself, and especially to Owen Sound. An expression of opinion by se many repreâ€" sentative men of this county would be of no little importance towards a just deâ€" cision. ‘ nance and Assessme..t. _ Bince our last meeting, your committee appointed to meet with those appoint«d in the interests of the Townships of Melaneâ€" thon and Shelburne, to adjust all matters of finance, ‘consequent upon the formation of the County of Dufferin, meet first, in the village of F esherton, and afterwards in the village of Shelburne ; and it 1s pleasing to know that the meeting was harmonious and the settlements justâ€"awarding only the ratification of the several corporations in â€" terested. The report in due time will be read and laid before the Comunttee of Fiâ€" I congratulate you gentlemen, on the favoravle circumstances nunder wluch we meet ; as ngriculturists, you . will deplore with me, the cold wave that did zo much harm, yet the recent rains have so invigorâ€" ated the crops that there are fair prospects for & tolerably prosperous harvest. [ GrxturaEN or THE CoUNCI,â€"Were it not for the pronounced opinion of last sesâ€" sion in favor of a written address. I should have felt it my duty now to have omitted it, believing as I do, that it is necesarily, a document of very little importance, inasâ€" much, as, the subject matter ‘of those adâ€" dresses, appear in a more practical form before the standing committees, aad their opinions frequently collide with those ex-‘ pressed by the committee on Warden's‘ address. A The Warden read reoprt of School Inâ€" spector for South Grey. The Warden read County Treasurers estimate of the current year. The Warden read several communicaâ€" tions which were reterred to their respectâ€" ive committees. Warden in the chair, roll called, minutes of last days January session read and conâ€" firmed.

On the motion for the ndoption of the report, Mr. McColman moved to refer it back to insert the ciause respecting the volâ€" unteers.. The amendment was lost on the following vote. _ The Council went into committee onithe Finance Report, Mr. Stark in the chair. On the elause respecting the volunteers, Mr. Murdock moyed that it be struck ont. Mr, Middleton moved in amendment that the amount be reduced to 10c. per day. Messrs, Meintyre, Kcemnig, Sing and the Warden spoke against the grant, and Messrs, MceGirr, Mclise, MeColman, Midâ€" dletor, and Kennedy in favor of it. Mr. Murdoek‘s mction was carried. The reâ€" maining clauses of the report were passed, and the committee rose. \ A petition was presented from residents of Keppel, asking for a grant of $100 for county line between Hepworth and Wirrton. Mr. MceKechnie presented report of Fiâ€" nance Committee. It recommended a grant of 25¢. per man per day to 81st Batâ€" talion while enpaged in drill, and past a number of nceounts. The Warden also presented the report of «pecial enmmittee on the settlement with Melancthon and Shelburne. ‘The report was adopted. WEDNESDAY MORNING The Warden made a statement with reâ€" ference to the finances of the East Grey Agricultural Society. A statement was read from the County Treasurar that he inâ€" vested certain sinking fands in debentares of loan societies at 4} per cent. Tetter from Gaol Physician with reference to ;-nlnly. Petition from school section in Holâ€" and. The Wardon, wished to know if the School Board intended to charge a fee for pupils to which Mr. Dobiereplied that they did not. A vote had been taken on it last wWwinter, and it was resolved not to make a charge. On motion of Mr. Kennedy the matter of a grant to the High School was referred to the Educational Committee. The Council then adjourned. Mr. McNight thanked the Council on beâ€" half of the Board, for the courteous manâ€" ner in which they had been received, on this as well as former occasions. Mr. Dobie, secretary of the Board, adâ€" dressed the Conneil giving the numler of pupils attending the school ; also the cost for teachers, the anmount of Government ard yearly, ($600) which amount the County was cbliged to supplement. | _ Mr. MeKnight addressed the Council at considerable length, urging that an early alowance be granted in addition to that which the County was obliged to pay to supplement the Government grant. The grant last year was $900, and he thought the Council should increase it to at least $1,400. ‘The School was free to all, a large number of the pupils were from the: country, and it would only be doing an act of justice, and a duty which they owed to‘ the rising generation. Mr. Rutherford conld not add anything to what had already been said by the preâ€" vious speakers, and felt sure the Council would do what was right in the matter. | Tu®spay, 8 p. a. 1 The Conncil met persuant to rdjournâ€" !ment from Monday evening.
