The man paid no heed to the danger whistle and in a moment he was caught by. the cowâ€"catcher and thrown back on the plate of the engine. On the train boiug brought toâ€" & stand still, the man was found with his bead down, and body resting on the plate, (}uite dead. _ The engine driver did not disturb the body, but run the train into the station, and a summons was immediately sent for Dr. Lynn, the Coroner. ‘The body was recog* nized as that of a man named William dJohnston, who had been working during the last week in the quarry at Mechanicsâ€" ville.

The County Council met this morning at 11 o‘clock, the Warden, Mr. Robert Cummings, in the chair. __ c All present excepting Messrs. Baker, Henderson and Manion. a The Warden addressed the Council. He sa‘d that nol.hll;:s ol‘ any ‘firut imporâ€" tance had transpi since their previous meeting, and hence he would Ke brief. The recommendations in respect to the construction of sheds in the gaol yard had Nean carried out, and the prisoners worked during fine and foul weather alike,. The supply of wood had been delivered. There was a large quantity of broken stone on hand and for sale, as well as some 300 pairs of mit:s. The winter was wearing ‘away and it should be the en deavour to dispose ol them as soon as possible. There are 25 male and 7 female persons in the g?ol at present, and among the former a ctipple and idiot. He reâ€" gretted very mucg vhat there was no means of disposing of such a class of persons. It had been suggested to farm them out but he couid not recommend such a course. He thought, until proper provisions were made® by the Govâ€" ernment, the cheapest and best way was : to keep them in the jail as hitherto, though it entailed extra work on the officials. There were an un usually large number of criwinals during | th» past year, viz : 779 as against 558 the previous year. That state ofaffairs was owing no doubt to th general want of labour, _ The question of the payment of jurors‘ fees was one which should engage their attention. Last year the fees had been increased from $1 to $1.50, and as they paid $6,000 last year in that niauner, they should have something to say in this matter. _ He thought some member of |the Board should take: the matter in hand, and endeavour to secure the deâ€" sired remedy. He beiieved the law gro- vided that when there were two JuJges they should sit at the same time, one takâ€" ing the criminal, the other the civil cases, and thereby the work would be. got, through with more rajpidly, and would be more cheaply performed. ~One Judge sat from day to day, wililst the other did nothing. After making some remarks on the manner of conducting the business, the Warden resumed his seat. Mr. Suitu said he thought the Warden was in error ; he understood tuat at the last Qwéouiou the Senior and J unior Judges had rat at the same time. He knew that the expense was very great and he saw that there was a Bill before the ln?h&um providing that all criminal oases should come before one Court, and all civil cases before aupther. _ _ _ _ _ in the absence of Mr. McNab, Mr. Treasurer Cowan officiated as County Clerk.

Dr. Ryerson was read relative to the eviâ€" dence given by Mr. Smirle at the recent investigation of the charges brought against the Rev. Mr. Borthwick. The particulars of the case have already been published, and the document submitted comprised oofli“ of â€" correspondence between Miss Living and the Department of Publics Instruction for Ontario. Dr. Ryerson‘s letter was to the following effect :â€" To the Warden :â€" sfi‘ Toroxto, Jan. 24. Sir,â€"I have the honour to suggest to the Connty Council, over which you preâ€" side, the inetpediency of appointing Mr. A. Smirle one of the, County Board of Examiners for the current year. This Department has not yet decided whether he bas justly forfeited his certificate of qualification as a teacher. I hope I may be spared so painful a decision ; but hoping and assuming that Mr. Smirle may retain his certificatd as a teacher, it does not follow that he should be appointed as Examiner. It is true that Mr. ggirlo was not an Examiner, either for the county of Carleton or the city of Ottawa, when he violated what is a matter of honour, of regulation and great public interest in the examination, by aiding @ teacher to answer questions on certain subjects of examination. Iam sure if your County Council had been aware of such & proceeding on . â€"Mr. Smirle‘s ‘part, as a teacher, you would not have appointed him an examiner; for if a teacher does what would disqualify an examiner, he certainly ought not to be 5ppointeé. To render a teacher‘s certifiâ€" cate of any value, the examiners and examinations should be above suspicion. Mr. Smirle admits that he did aid » candiâ€" date to prepare answers to questions ; but he does not admit all that was proved on oath before the Commissioners at Ottaw a. In a letter which Mr. Smirle has addressed to me in his vindication, he refers to the young ladies whose names were brought before the Commissioners. A copy of an extract of this letter was sent to Miss laving, the young lady chiefly concerned, requesting her explanation. I append a copy of the extract of Mr. Smirle‘s letter mud of Miss Living‘s reply, that you and your Council may judge as woll as myself. But apart from the circumstances of the particular case of Mr. Smirle, I suggest that the Board of Examiners should conâ€" sist of gentlemen in respect to whom no g:ound of suspicion exists as to their ing ompable of their performing their duties without <partiality or prejudico wholly in accordance with ;fairness and the regulations, and for the public inâ€" terest:. j 17, 1876 : "#With reference to Miss Living‘s stateâ€" ment that J wrote the questions down for her sister, I have siniply to state that if I had done so it is very unlikely that she would have lost them in going less than a quarter of a mile, and still more unlikely to qufipoae that she, who was unacquainted with the subject of English literature, would reâ€" member enough to afftord her sister maâ€" terial aid. O{ course this is a matter of veracity between myself and Miss Living‘s sister, and you will draw your own conâ€" clusion. _ _ t L us _ ‘The following is a copy of Miss Living‘s lettito Dr. Hodgins:â€" } _ _ _ . Wl Ortawa, Jan. 21. Sut,â€"â€"I have the honour to state that I can nake no alteration in my evidence. I hatte no proofs to produce ; you allow me to dffer exceptions or remarks upon the jubject; I will do so freely, at the risk‘ of being tiresomg. On the ovening betore my evidencte was taken Mr. Smirl ixg;n;od me oli‘t: statement concerni nglish Literature paper, and uk:f if I remembered anything of it. Itold him all I jcould recall. When the writing of the questions was mentioned Mr. Smirle said he had remem:â€" bered that, but that it was very trobobh he Aad written the questions. The next day at noon liy evidence was hkoniin the afternoon Mr. Smirle seemed troubled Dr. Brarry moved, seqonded by Mr. Srawart that in future the mqfi;r of the Council be advertised in the official newspaper and that no petitions, com« munications, or accounts be received after the first day of the session.â€"Carâ€" _ The question then dropped without action gemx taken. * 1 we The Council then adjourned until ten o‘clock this morning. At four o‘clock the members of the Council embarked in sleighs for a VISIT TO THE PROTESTANT HOSPITAL The building was inspected from baseâ€" ment to garret, and the utmost satisacâ€" ‘t'i:: was mdoz tlh; visitors at fi;? ight, cl or! pearance the estal t. â€" The ;)Pinotou who that L had mentioned the writing, and asked me to tell my sisterâ€"to u‘{nothing of it should she be examined on that 8oint. She was not examined further. n the following Saturday Mr. Smirle dai pg:u.d ‘a letter from Mr. Smirle, in wl:i:.t made it appear that my ‘sister had fsirli,cdngged the information from him. The letter evidently was written beforeâ€"he went to the meeting of the Asâ€" sociation, and perhaps accounts for the adherence to the statement. My sister‘s contradiction was printed in the Trirs, at the instance of some of the School Trusâ€" tees, and Mr. Smirle has published nothing since. ~With reference to the other foinh of Mr. Smirle‘s letter, I do not think it less ualikely that & paper should be lost in a quarter of a mile walk, than in a four mile walk. % sister was at the time mentioned by Mr. Smirle, not unacâ€" quainted. with w literature. | Any reader of our E authors knows, or could readily remember the points noted by her, and here allow me to state, that my evidence does not state that I was " materially aided," but that I read these alnutiom over, and this was by no means e first time that I have read or studied these pcints in English Literature. Mr. Smirle will receive a copy of this commuâ€" s oT mave Hhe houous to remain eto. ve our e &. Livixe. * The Waro®x stated that this document was pro}nl;lfl the result of a telegram sent by him to Dr. Ryerson, making inquiries as to Mr. Smirle‘s oli?i‘umy_ for reappointâ€" . ment to the office of Examiner. sister asked him for the questions, This he knows to be false, and all along he has said that he offered the questions through matter over, and again said, ( It is very mb.blo I wrote the questions, l do not y it, but as I do not remember hayâ€" ing done so, I object‘to your evidence on that point being accepted." I heard that he soon after g;o-igvol! denied the writine. On the 8th January, before a meéting of the Ottawa Teachers‘ Associa friendliness, and the feeling that one student has for all fellow students. In his evidence he never denied, nor thought of denying the fact that he gave the ques tionsvoluntarily. At the close of his remarks my sister corrected this statement, which, to say the least, is incredible. Mr, Smirle did not retract, but said, "This is a matter of veracity between. Miss Living and myâ€" self." In the Ottawa Tixzs of the same directed the Councillors through the building were Messrs. J. P. Featherston, Geo. Hay, Geo. May, Z. Wilson and the Hon. Malcolm Cameron. . | At%douoftl;#flmthocm- i to R h E’Georpflum a few remarks, in Mr. George Hay made a few iemarks, in e ter n e ces t s tion, md. he m&ullpd' t.h:tn the ty Council would do something towards reâ€" lieving them of the ingubus. He asked Mr. Featherston, as Chairman of the Building Committee, to give them some 1 have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servant, E. Rrerson. The following is acopy of the extract om Mr. Smrie‘s letter da‘ed January Mr. Smirle in recapi A NEW RULE, that my account of the condition of the affairs of the institution. ""Mr. FEATHERSTOX than anoka as in tha _@Mr. FratruERrsrox then spoke as to the raising of the funds necessary to the erec tion of the building; $32,000 had been raised by private luLcripflon, but ‘there was still a mortgage on it of $8,000, and as _ Mr. Hay had stated, there was $4,200 of a floating debt u j it and that was wanted to be elouodaJ.wI.;Q was scarcely fair to expect the Directors to ask of those who had already sub«= ‘ scribed to still further aid them. If the County would give them some substantial assistance, they might be able to get rid of their floating debt this year. Times had been so hard they would not ask their old subscribers for any more money. The old bmldinfi“hnd been let to the city for a small pox hospital, at a rental of $800 per annum. The institution bolol‘xfod to both the county and city, and he felt confdent that from what the Councilliors had seen they must be satisfied that there ooulti be no doubtâ€" in their minds that the hosâ€" pital was second to none in Canada all that was wanted was greater pecuniary resources to extend its sphere of usefulâ€" ness. He looked forward to the time when in conjunction with the institution | there would be a School of Medicine and | alsoaschool for nurses, he looked upon careful nursing as being almost as imporâ€" tont as medica! tréatment,and he believed all surgeons would agree with him in that res pect, and he thought most of his hearers would do so also. The hospital was not a city institution purely, but it was one which was of the utinost uâ€"efulâ€" ness to the whole of the Otta x2 Valloy. He again made an earnest appeal to the Council, stating §that the doors of the house _ were _ never closed, they were open to all, and he could tell them that there was not ten ofer cent. of the patients belonging to the city. He really did hoEo they would take the matter into their earnest consideration and grant some substantial assistance. . The Hon. Maucorm Caxrrox ssid he had slwsgn taken an interest in the Hosâ€" pitel, and: he thought it was one of the best public buildings in the oountrg and a favourable contrast to the Public Buildâ€" iugis, where there were windows without light, rooms without air, and men were stewed un in a house which was detriâ€" werital to their health. Here they had the purest of air, with :fhtnou' and cheerfulness combined ; and both these were of the utmost importance to the restoration of the sick to health,. They had seen the buildings in all branches, _ and _ they _ could )nd&: for themselves as to its condition. hoped they would grant a liberal sum towards its maintenance. Bheriff Powstt followsd in a similar strain, and stated that as a practical proof of his approbation of what he had seen he would give them a cheque for $50. Mr. Haxyâ€"tHear, hear, that‘s the best speech made yet. (Laughter.) _______ _The worthy Sheriff then drew out his chu}uo book aud made good his fil':muo After some remarks by Mr. hariah Wilson and Mr. Hay, _ _ _ Dr. Beartryâ€"said he had visited a great many hospitals in Canada but he had never seen one that came up to the one they had visited that day, the arrangeâ€" ments could not ba better. What he adâ€" mired was the lightness of the Wards, and that was one of the greatest aids to a physician. He could only add his most cordial approbation of all the arraugeâ€" ments of the building. _ _ & The Waroe® (Mr. Cumminfil) made some remarks, in which he said that be could not éommit the Council to any line of action, but he thought that they would deal justly with the matter. _ The proceedings then came to & close and the party returned to the city.
