Rs Foca : OUR BANKS. Inall ages of the world s history every watiou, and, in fact, almost every individual + has had his household gods ; a something which requires only to be touched to set the whole nation into commotion to cause every individual to rush forward with outstretched arms to defend their idol. It were a simple matter to point out some of the chief housa- hold gode of the various great families into which mankind has been divided. This however we believe 15 uncalled for as they are familiar to all parties acqu intedwithithe lustory of our race. Witn regard to the Sax- 'on race whether in the old or new world our banks form our principal household --or Na- tional --if you will= gods; to touch which with an unguarded hand would make the Nation tremble in its every member, and cause a universal rush for the safety of the cherished idol. Have we not had abondant confirmation of this assertion duiing the past week ? The Commercial Bank an institution which has been lobbling along if not under a weight of yea's at. least under a weight of cares for a considerable time past. An 1nstitutien in fact gn whose stability very many of the community had serious doubts and which doubts unfortunately the sequel has shown to be but too well founded. No The latest news from Italy are of a most exciting character. We have the blunt but true and valorous Garibaldi having trampled under foot the King's authority, left his do- mestic prison, crossed over into Italy, again put himself at the head of the army of ac- tion, and dashed across the Roman frontier in the face of the Royal proclamation --not that he loved his King less, but be loves Italy more. The stern vetran has around bim ten or twelve thousand of the flower of Italian youth. Ie has alrea'y met the foe in three obstinate enzagements and in each case has succeeded in driving bim until he bas driven him into his last position right vp ucder the walls of the coveted city ; Lere the veteran is prepanng fer the final struggle. With ten thousand brave boys, be faces up the whole Pontifical army sheltered behind walls and fortifications. He haslfouzht and driven them back to the very gates of the city,aud here he only pauses for a breathing time, to al. low bis youthful warriors--his noble boys sufficient time to breathe, to wipe the mist from their eyes and brush back the curls {rom their biow, before commencing the last, the most daring act, Before encounter ing the leaden hail, and throwing themsel-- ves upon the shining steel of a numerous and subtle host--1hat the youth might as it were take a look around at those things which many of them might never see again. In the meaa time the flower and life of Italy are crowding around his standard, there are sympathisers withia the city, busy at work preparing to take part in the grand struggle. The Itallian forces or rather the king of ltaly's forces are com--- manded to attack the Gari Idians by dhex sooner, however, did this imeticution dry Up, | them, no sovuer was the all lari" pension hinted st than &' real Tush was made by depositors and bill holders for tle depositors and bill hold- ers alike were told that the bank had sus. pended specie payment, and therefore no- | But while the boys are breathing, Fronce thing more coull be done for them at least fora time. Previous to this however the bank had put fourth almost super human ef- forts for sweet Jife. It begged assistance from the Government which was cruelly re- fused--it suplicated the Bank of Montreal, but in vain, it only snickered atjthe embar- rassment of its confrere. It called a congress ot the entire banking community, pressed its claims, but 10 no purpose. The Bank JuriTer-- the King of gods und men amongst the banking community refnsed to listen fora moment to Commercial prayers. So 4he poor Commercial was left to sink or swim ; and like all other discarded ilols its former voteries soon accomplished the sink- ing process, speedily crushing out the litle vitulity that remained in that institution, -- It was in vain that parties 1glg them that 10 cause for alarm, that the entire loss if any will fall upon the stock-holders, that whatever loss may be sustaine. can- not under the circumstances sill upon ether the depositors or bill-hollers, as the stock-holders alone as good for it. And should the stock already subscribed and rad over not be sufficient to meet those losses each stock-holder will have fo put his hand into his pocket and hand over as much more as his original stock was.

The last quantity 8 bitches is more amusing than instinctive. We believe that every one Will be ready to admit that there has either been a sad perversion of facts in parties making their returns or that the two dollar arrangement has caused a univ massacre amongst the bitches. Nou blame can for a single moment attach to the Ass- essor in this matter--he did his work well ; but the fault is in the parties trying to con- ceal fiom the Assessor the real facts of the case, Some parties very erroneously imagine that the number of peopie in a house has tabhist , some dl ling gold for bills and others withdrawing their deposits.

CANNINGTON. The village of Cannington is beautifully sitvated in the North-East qnaiter of the Township of Brock, and sits ou a beautiful curve of the Beaver River which almost sur- rounds the village. The location of ths vil- lage and the superior water privilege that it possesses place it in a most advantageous position as regards its chances of future pros- perity. The enterprising inhabitants are far from overlooking the superior advaniages they enjoy. Already there are several ex- tensive factories and mills on the 1iveras it passes round the village--and there aresev- eral public improveneats, 10 the value of of many thousand dollars, now under way inthat village. They have an excellent Volunteer In- fantry Company, Officers and men are fine looking fellows. We had a first rate op- portunity for witnessing the soldier-like ap- pearance and aptitude of the company, as we chanced to be thers on * luspection day." Captain Cowan and Lieutenant Lumsden handled the men very skilfully ard altogether the mapection went off cre- ditably 10 all concerned. The vast improvements that are being driven on by our Cannington friends are of the most substantial nature. Hogh Munro, Exq., a large land owner in that neighbor- hood and who alreadyjowns a Woolen Fac- tory, a Grist-Mill and a Saw-Mill, in the village, is just preparing to bui'd a new Grist-Mill there 34 x 60, and 3} stories high. He has got tho race wearly completed, it is 60 rods long, 12 feet deep on an average, and from 12 to 15 feet wide. lt is certainly an expensive undertaking, bot it is a most splendid job and must prove of great service; he will then be able to command a head of "Mr. Monro has #hown a praiseworthy energy and enterprise, in hastening on the rpunlic improvements of that village, and certainly he hus cauee to feel proud of the advances (he village has already made, and of ns Martering prospects for ths future. Mr. Brown's new Tannery 1s just being completed--a large Brick Building of three stories. It is an excellent builaing all the latest improvements necessary in a first class Tannery have been tuken advantage of in its construction, Mr. H. Maybee is just preparing to build a Woolen Factory 34 x 50. They are now digging the water race, quite an extensive work. We have no doubt fron the energy of Mr. Maybee that the undertaking will proye profitable to himself, and of vast a'- vantage to the village. We next visited the Carding and Weav- ing Factory of Mr. S. W. Card, a large frame building 3 siories high. Every ap- Pliance necessary for a first class Factory partments, fiom the carding up to the most perfectly dressed and finished cloths speak highly of the skill of Mr. Card. Dur- It is almost useluss to say that each of ing the season now closing they carded 30,000 Ibs of customer. woik, manufactured. 305 pieces of olotli, and otherwise material sufficient to dress 1000 pieces. There are extensive improvements going on at this factory also, they are digging a very eviensive new water race in order to increase their power as Mr. Card means to extend his business still further. Really passing around this village from mill to mill and from factory to factory seat- ed on thal 1mportant stream in its course al- most aroun! the village one is fully con- vinced of the vast importance of a valuable water privelege to the prosperity of any lo- cality and this is emphatically an excellent pnvilego. During eight months in the year it is capable of supply- ing almost unlimited water power and du- ring the other four mouths there 1s power sufficient for all ordinary purposes. The location of this village and its otherwise im- portant natural advantages, together with the energy and enterprise of ite inhabitants will ere long place it in the most prominent po- sition of any other village in the county of Ontario. Should the proposed Lake Ni ng railroad go through it must pass Can- nington ; if the Puit Hope, Lindsay and Beaverton be carried through, it can't avoid coming to Cannington, or should the pro- jected Whitby and Beaverton Ruiiroad be put through it would be almost impossible to avoid coming to Cannington. They already possess two good churshes, and a splendid large brick church 1s in the course of erection for the New Connection Methodist body. We found the pastor, Rev, Mr. Madill,after the noble exam pld of some of the most worthy of the ancients ; if he 'was not " building on the wall" he was on the top of a stick of timber framing away with a will. wd 1+ The timbers for a New"DrillShed are laid down not far from the church, and the com- mon school house, is on the same field so that this will form a rather important square. There is a well ducted Gr is found here, and the work in all its de-. blish --and a cabinet shop. There is one Bakery, Mes rs. Brandon & Bro's., well known over the greater part of the county us well as the neighboring counties for their excellent Sola Biscuits, fancy breads, &c., &ec. Tney have two medical gentlemen, a dentistand adiuggist. There are two woolen factories, a grist mill and 2 sax mills be- sides a very excellent Brawery, the property of J. Jollifl, Exq. Mr. M.G.Leas manages the establishment,and the excellence of his beer is now generally admitted overa | rge extent of country. Our obliging friend Sergeant Walshe takes an active part, and identifies himse!f with every movement that tends to develop the resources of that fine locality. To the many kind friends 10 whose gen- erosily we are indenited for the facilities af- forded os for inspecting the various Fac- tories--Mills-- improvements, &3., &¢:. we embrace this opportunity of returning our sincere thanks. Amidst all the Faclories, Work-Shops, &ec., &c., we have looked in vain for a Cooperage and a'Foundry. Why i is that these two branches of industry are not re- presented 1s more than we can account for; certainly there is nota place in Noith On- tario better fitted for both these branches. There are very many coopers even in this county who would find it very much to their advange to move to' Cannington 3 of course the opening is 100 good to remam long unoccupied, some one will step in and whoever, secures that ficll first, will find it to his advaantage. As much may be eail regarding a Foundry. Din' let the opportunity slip. A word to the wise is sufficient. ee -- EXAMINATION, The examination of school Teachers for North Outario, took place at Cannington on Thursday and Friday 24th and 25th ist. The Examination took place in the Com- mon School House there, On the evening of tha 24'h a public meeting was held in the School House for the purpuse of having addresses (rom the Local SupBrintendents who were present. On motion Malcom Gillespie, E«q., Reeve of Brock was called to the chair. He open- ed proceedings with a very neat speech and then called on the Rev. R.. Macarthor. Mr. Macarthur explained the objects of the meeting, he stated that the Brock School REIT, 24506 on intended meeting on from the Local Superintendents who were present at the Examination they had given way. The Rey. gentleman said he higwy |. pproved of the porposks of the A the chiel aim being mutual improvemen and notwithstanding that it was emphatic- ally a Teacher's Association yet no object- ion would be offered 10 any one joining ir. It was rot at all like a Trade's Union, he did not hike the priuciple of Trade's Unions, but this association did not bind itself to any such purpose, although he believed that if even they did a little of that, there would not be mueh harm mn it. The great object of the Assocation he wonld agam slate was mutual improvement in the art of communicating knowledge to others, and if any one present, be he a teacher or not, 1s willing to take a part in the association and willcome forward and record hiz or her name on the list of members such will be gladly ie ceived and while the exercires will uniforin- ly tend to the improvement of teachers as such,yet all who take part in these exercises will be more or lesmbenetited Ly them. The speaker said that he could wish to see our Common Schools r.ised to a position some- what similar to the Parish Schools of Soot- land. ion fice,they oughtto respect their calling and do what they can to make it worthy of respect. Many young men he was sorry to way did not regard dt with that respect to which its importance entitled it. A very general de- sire among the y ung men of that profea- sion was simply lo make a slepping-stone of 11 to get to something better. He did not consider that any one could blame the young men for seeking to beiter their con- dition, it is a mislortune however for our schools that it 1s so. The teachers mission is an important one-- the moulding of public opinion is, 10 a considerable degree, in thier hands. He wus aware of the fluence of the pulpit and the Press ; but the School Teacher laid the foundation. The gen:le- man went.on to speak of the advantages denived from the use of monitors where the sclol is large and regreted that so many of the pan objected to the system. ~ In speaking of School House the speaker paid vite a compliment to Reach fos their good | Houses, : We were then favored with an oppor- tunity of addiessing the meeting. Dr. Oakley followed. He referred briefly 10 the main purpese of the present meeti IY and regretted that paities did not all confine themselves 10 the legitimate purpose of the meeting. The speaker dwelt on the aims and objects of the faithful teacher-- wih the 11 PI rities the J i afforded for improving the vocal powers The gentleman went on to speak of the im- portance of careful attention to the funda- mental branches . Rev. Mr. Clelard followed. He made some pleasing introductory remarks inter- mixed with some interresting anecdotes. In referring to the music furnished by the Brass Band, he said that he would be glad to find that music, vocal music were taught a he urged the importance of such meetings spoke of the benefits likely to arise fiom them, and reg ented that more of the vil- opportunity of being present. erously gave us their rervices gratuitously on that occasion, and furnished some capi- tal music between the addresses. in capital style, alter which the meeting dispersed.

Another protest was against Miss Emily Beli's receiving the Ist prize on Berhn wool work, Flat, on the plea that she is not the party who got it up. Also against Mr. A. 'C. W.
