The first clause, recommending that the report of Mr. Ferguson, Inspector of South Grey, be printed, was passed. The second clause, in reference to the communication of Rev. A. H. R. Mulholâ€" land, recommended that no action be taken by this Council to make the High School independent of the trustees of the Owen Bound Public School. PDr. Christoe recounted the points taken by Mr. Mulholiand, and expressed himself as not sufficiently informed on the subâ€" ject. He thought it might be wpll to hear some memnbers of the School Poard. Mr. Miller, Public School Trustee, npon being requosted make a statement, explainâ€" ed that the question of disadvantage to the High Bdbool through Pubplic School Trusâ€" The comuutteo rose, and the report as a« mended was adopted. The Council again went into committes on Byâ€"laws 302 and 308, to appoint two High Sehool Trustees, In Aliing up Byâ€"law 302, George Sm)ncer was nominated by Mr. MacRae; Robert Stark by Mr. Thompson; John Rutherford by Dr. Christoe,; and Robert Malcom by Mr. McGirr, Mr. MacRae npgomd his nomination by enlogizing Mr. Spencer‘s qualifications, und severely oriticised the reputation of the Owen Sound High School, which bad Dr. Christoo said it seemed very strange to him that the Secretary should get $100 us salary and also get $2.50 a day for his duties Elonmd during the same session of the Board. He thought theway these accounts had been paid was very irregular, and that the only proper way would be to have them brought before the Education Committee, The Treasurersaid these accounts had been paid on the order of the presiding Inâ€" pector; but that he had never been clear as to his duties in this» respect, and would Itke an expression of the Councll for his yuidance, Clause No. 4 was then passed. The fifth clause recommended that the resignation of Dr. John Barnhart as High School Trustea be not accepted, as it did not appear that his resignation had been luid before the Board of Trustees or thefinâ€" _ Mr. Chisholm moved in amendment that Dr. Barnhart‘s resignation be acceptâ€" <d, wlich was carried. fls caused E;;Tsé_d;;u from his ‘mn of the County to go to other high schools. On a vote being takeo, Mr. Stark was finally appointed by 24 to 14. The third clause recommended tbhat the expenses of committee appointed to hear and determine School Section appeal, be paid by this Council. Dr. Christoe spoke strongly against passâ€" ing this, because payment for a similar ofâ€" fice performed by Yr. Ferguson on a formâ€" er occasion was refused, and there was no justice in now paying Mr. Gordon for the saze thing. On Byâ€"law 308 to .})fint a High School Trustee in plase Dr. Joha Barnbart resignâ€" ed: George Bpencer was nominated by Mr. MacRae, and Robert Malcom by Mr. tees sitting on the same Board, had not been raised at the Board by the Rev. genâ€" Mesers. Mylos and MacHae thought the Council was under obligation to pay for these expenses, but did not approve of P"i?l‘ Inspectors more than the law aiâ€" lowed. The clanse was passed. The fourth clause recommended payâ€" ment of several accounts; that the salary of the Becretary of the Board of Examinâ€" ers be cut down, as when it was fixed at $100 the duties was much more lakorious than at present; and fmther that it is illogâ€" ulfor the Board to nominate one of their own number to the position at a fixed sal> _ Mr. Malcom was appointed by a voto of 28. The committee rose and reported Byâ€" laws, which were adopted. Moved by Mr. McGirr, seconded by Mr. MeNaught, That a committee be appointed to consider the advisability of appointing County Vaiuators. Mr. MoGitr pointed out what he thought mim amounts marked as the assessed values of the municipalities, apd claimed that serious injustice is being done certain raunicipalities 0y basis of valuation. A discussion on assessmevts and County Vuluators ensued, in which the impression seemed to prevail that it was too late in the session to take up the subject. Moved by Mr. A. B. Lang, geconded by Mr. Chishoim, That three Valuators be apâ€" pointed to equalize the assessment. This amendment beiug pat was lost, and the original imotion was also lost by the Warden‘s casting vote. The council adjoyrued till 0 o‘clock Sat unrday morning.

Durham, February 9th, 1882. avraovevraveerrrerrervrerrerrreyes ~â€"For many conturies it has beeu freely ] conceded by all the nations of the world, that, "Britanuvia rules the wave." Aund !ut‘ the purzose of maintauining this position | the Parhament of Great Britain has exâ€" pended millions of pounds sterling in buildâ€" ing and equipping the fleet. Notwithstandâ€" ing all this outlay it is now surmised that the navy of Great Britain is inferior to that of some other countries and that if such & ccâ€" alition as that of France and Italy should vceut, her navy would be driven off the sea. This has arisen from the fact that in Engâ€" ‘ land the authcrities have given their whole attention to perfecting won clads. Batin that sort of armament a point lhaus been reached beyond which they can‘t go, for, with the advance of science, it is found that shot can now Le thrown with such violence that the strongest iron plates will be broken in pieces. This fuact was discovered and acted upon by some of the Continental‘ powers years ago, and Great Britain now finds that in order to retain her supromacy upon the seas, it is necessary to lay aside the old policy of building enormous iron elads at $5,000,000 each, and to adopt the building of light, swift sailing vessels carâ€" rying heavy guus, and built in compartâ€" ments so that in the event of one or more being riddled with shot the vesse} could still do hey work. Vessels of this character are very much less expensive than enorâ€" mous iron clads, and could do the work of police at sea influitely better, while in ofâ€" fensive warfare they are supposed to be quile as efficient. anything is the tmaiter, auu tue CanuadiaL Government Luring neglecicd to uy auy thing, this Reclamation Company has taken it up and will no doubt in a very short time sarry out the work they have set themâ€" selves to do. In the meantime it is proâ€" posed to purchase s strip of land ow the Canadian side of the river extending m:z the head of the Rapids above the B Spring to a point below the ‘Whiripoo!, emâ€" bracing three and a half miles of riyer frontâ€" age and an area of 350 mcres, It is proâ€" posed to clear this park of all unsightliness and ot the structures now in existence, to preserve only Table Rock House, the Musâ€" eam and Clifton House. It is further proâ€" posed to make improvements in the way of planting trees, making roads and . tramâ€" ways, and possibly the erection of one or two Hotels and Restaurants. The Act beâ€" fore the Legislature contains a clause to the effect that no charge will be made for entering and passing through the Park, and that the charges for making use of the obâ€" servatory, tunnels, tramways, &e. &o. sball ), be approved of by the Lientenant Governor: in Council. 1 [ wonnnnin ib 4 ie 4 dn ; " THE A. B, C. OF DAIRY FARMING. | _ At a recent meeting of the Dairymen‘s Convention held in Woodstock, Mr. Clark gave a very interesting and profitable lecâ€" ture on the A. B. C.of Dairy Farming. First and of primary importance was the quality of stock kept. The lecturerventured the opinion, that not more than fifty per cent of the cows in Ontario yielded a profit to their owners, and strongly insisted upon the importance of weeding the poor cows out of the land. â€" He admitted, however, that there were always native cows to be found which were great milkers, and, inasâ€" much as shortâ€"Lorn blood was the means adopted for fixing permanently this milkâ€" ing tendency, recommended that such good 'native cows be crossed with a good Shortâ€" horn bull, and that by such a course a race {.of valuable milkers would in a short time be established. Incidentally the lecturer remarked that all calves should be kept until they either produce beef or milk, for that veal could only be produced at a loss, and moreover was as unfit for human food as unripe fruit,. This opinion is fully susâ€" tained by the teachings of physiology. The second requisite to successful dairy farming is the care of manure, which should be housed. Treated in this way all its valuâ€" able properties are preserved, whereas when exposed as is usually the case its ammoniacal constitutents are driven off by the heat of the sun, and its saline ingredients washed away by the rain. So that when thoroughâ€" ly decomposed the pile is comparatively valueless. It is generally admitted that the failure of grain crops in recent years in the older portions of the Province has bean chiefly due to exhaustion of soil by over eropping and a deficient supply of manure. To remedy this state of affairs Mr. Clark advises that Ontario farmers leave grain growing to the North West where the soil requires no manure, and give more attenâ€" tion to dairy farming. In this way plenty of manure will be obtained, and the land in a few years restored to a profitable state of fertility. The third essential, Mr. Clark said, was foed, and as to the advantages of tho soiling system versus pasture, the lecâ€" terer had great doubts as to superiority of the soiling system, and thought pasture better. _ As with many other disputed quesâ€" tions both systems have their respective adâ€" yantages under different circumstances, and he will be the successful farmer who } adopts himself to the emergencies of every case. â€" If pasture is depended upon, it must be good, or, as the lecturer said, not pastâ€" ure "where cows would have to walk themâ€" selves poor, in order to procure a square meal." â€" He advocated the growth of clover as a stromg factor in pusture lands, as being valuable for feeding purposes and being death to the thistles. Since the close of the debate on the adâ€" dress the proceedings of the Ontario Legisâ€" lature have not been of much general inâ€" terest. The time of the House hus been chiefly occupied with receiving new Bills of which no less than fifty nine were preâ€" sented on Thursday. Most of these have reference to railways, and the powers posâ€" sessed by railways. Among those of genâ€" 1 eral interest, are the Reclumation and Imâ€". }nrovomout Company‘s Bill which is notâ€" iced in avother colump, a Bill by Mr. Creighton amending the Mumicipal Act so as to repeal the provision which empowers the Inspector of Prisons to fix the salaries of gaolers, and thus leaves the matter in the hands of the County Councils, andâ€" a Bill of Mr. Waters to repeal the Act providâ€" ing that the property qualification for munâ€" | icipal Councillors shall be over and above ‘ all enoumbrances. Taz Inxpseam Pasumamesxt.â€"The tone of the Queen‘s Speech read at the opening of the Imperial Parliament yesterday is highly assuring to those who anticipated an improved state of the Empire‘s domesâ€" tic and foreign relations under the admin« istration of a Liberal programme.

A bold scherse of relief from the burâ€" densome exemption of Impsrial property from tazation is promised to the muniâ€" cipalities.

I Yours sincerly, 1 Jos. TowxsexD. The Weigh Bcale Question. To the Editor of the Review : Sig,â€"In your issue of the 26th January, l there appears a letter headed "A Weigh] Sci%e Question," signed by a man named Webster, of Priceville, in which an uuempt' is made to injure the grain buyers of this place, and more particularly my employer, Mr. Hunter, If he ever was regarded as a truthful man (which I understand he never was) in his locality, the article referred to must brand him forevyer as both unserupulous and untrutuful, In Mr. Hanters abserce, as well as when he is at home, I endeavor | to carry out his striet and positive instrucâ€" tion-, :;umely to take good weight and no more when buying in, and to give equally good weight when selling out, 1f Mr. Webster bad eaid that he Limâ€" self through his teamster sold 11 Hogs to me, he would have told the truth, but his article starts ont in the beginuing with a falsehood. The hogs were weighed by me and no more than good weight taken. . One or two of the Hogs were in bad condition. One being eaten by a Hog in the bam after killing and one bitten badly by a dog beâ€" fore killing and two or three had Lbeen killed too long, being dark and discolored, thus injuring their sale in any market. Every one engaged in the buying of Hogs, knows that it is a rule to deduct shrinkage and in this market the rule bas been todeâ€" duet 2 per cent. â€" This Mr, Webstor retused to allow although I have no doubthe deducts plenty of shrinkage when buying in, conseâ€" quently a dispute nrose, and sooner than go to law I assumed the responsibility of paying bim for 40ibs, at 2 per cent. s e e e 2 P T 1 am inclined to think that if any man‘s seales require adjusting, Mr. Webster‘s do, as on Thursday of last week, I am reliably informed, they wore again found wanting not to the amount of 40ibs, but to more than double that amonnt, in a load of Oats which wore weighed first on his (Webster‘s) scales and then on both Mr. Brill‘s and lir. Burnet‘s and the $wo latter were about 100 lbs short of the Pricevilie seales, It must be very discouraging, day after day, for Mr. Webster to see his former customers drive past bis store, with their produce on their way to this market where they can get higher prices than he is willâ€" ing to pay them, â€" But se should not allow ins jealousy to cause him to traduce the reâ€" putation of men who are head and shouldâ€" ers above him. ‘Try and carry out this Golden Rule Mr. W., "D+ not bear false witness against thy neighbor." Yours respectfally, T. C. Morrar. Dear Sirâ€"Ou Thorsday, the 200 otf EFcb., I bought a load of Outs of a man who had evidently Leen sout to suarket with the same by Mr. A. Webster, of Priceville, as the said man fuformed me that the load had becu weighed on his (Mr, Webster‘s}) scales. After they had been weighed, the man informed me that they bad weighed sixty Bushels on Mr, Webster‘s seales, but they weighed ouly about 57 busliels on mine. The man uot Lbeing satisfied with my weights was orderod to take tuem away. He then took them to Xr. Jas. Burnet‘s, gesd en aguin the seales of Mr. Webster, were found wauting, for the said logd of Oats only weighed 57 Bushels ou Mr, Barâ€" net‘s scales, instead of sixty, which L underâ€" stand Mr. Woebster told the man he was to iget paid for. To the Editor of the) Review :â€" It will be more honorable in Mr, Web ster in the futare, in weighing graiu, hogs, &o, (lct it be for himself or suybody else,) to weigh it correo{ly, when seundioag said stuff to market. If be does so he will uot be npder the stignn of lying for a purpose. Yours &e, Huving been served with a Writ in the case of Mr. Charter Smith, of Bentinck, against the corporation of Durham, clainsâ€" ing $200 damages and #15 costs, on acâ€" count of the actident at Lambton street bridge, the Mayor called a special meeting on Monday evening to consider the maiter.

Jnni, has stated to certain parties that ‘did make certain false statements concern. ing the time when two promissory notes,â€" made by him to one MceKiunon, became due, or would become due, I do hereby deny that I made auy statement or state. monts that I did not believe to be strictly true. I further state that the notes refory. ed to were and are the property of one Wilkio of Guelph, with whom I am alto. rother unaequainted, and that I went 19 see Fike in connection with Division Cour; business in Wwhich I had no personal inte;. est whatever. If therée are any who believe I was so in. sane as to invest any amouut of money, however small, in notes made by Mr. Fike or to undertake so heaÂ¥y & job ms the oo]. lecting 6f them I think the following loptere will prove to the contrary. J do notfear that a man of Nr. Fikes standing will very tuch injure me by any reports which he may cireulate, yet I wilf | be obliged to you if you will kindly publis} {this better and the following ones. f Yours truly, ’ H. H. Miize, Mr. H. H. Miller, Clerk in my office,was not in any way interested in the collection of the notes #hove referred to and their collection could not have been of possible benefit to him. He could not therefore have had any object in making statements which were uutrue, respecting said notes, 1. Jaoksos, Clerk, I have read all the letters written by H. H. Miller, for Mr, 1. Jackson, to Mr. Wilkie of Guelph in reference to the notes referred to in the above letters and also Mr. Wilkic‘s letters in reply, and I am antâ€" isfed that the said, Milier was not in any way personally interested in the collection of the said notes and even though be Aid make the statement which Fike alleges that he did muake it was concerning a matâ€" ter of no importance and would not in uny way bave a"ected the collection of sud notes. R. A. Paimmous. Being once more reminded that the Edge Hill Association is in a flourishing condition by Veras, whose name implies truth, it would seem as though we could no longer doubt its validity; were it not for the insolence of its present whiner who by his statements appears to bhave been governed more by pussion and falsehood thun by reason or truth, e like many of the defenders, though not wishing to be silent, has little of intelligence so say for which reasonu I can overlook his acâ€" cusations by considering his capacity.. Still this new light who it appears has reâ€" geived the reins of uuthority at Edge Hilk is as he tells us, & gentleman, a statement which coincides very strangely with his tactios, â€" Like An bait be will find ere long: that leading tae "wilent defenders" is not such an exaited posivion after ull, and that to tread the roaud to emineuce he will have to chauge his ecceutric views and choose anuther Golu tor lsbor.
