teachers do the children there will bo no cause for complaint the churches making the most fuss about the need of religious instruction in tho schools are the ones making the poorest record for good

of markham the charge laid by wm malloy of covington i this village against mr c russell fitch arising out of the libel suit against malloy was finally disposed of on tuesday last by his honor judge macdougall honorably discharg ing mr fitch on the evidence of the prosecution alone we understand on reliable authority that the complain ant was working in this matter iu conjunction with several enemies of mr fitch in markham to none of whom was the decision of his honor very palatable perhaps it would be interesting to note that our friend the respected editor of the tribune has indulged as is his custom in considerable talk during the past few raonthsas to some decisive and all important step he pro posed taking whereby his libel suit would perforce bo brought to an al- rupt and ignominious termination far and wide has he unfolded the gist of his plans and preparations and his anxiety and irritation which is evi dent to all has led him to unburden himself to anyone and everyone who would condescend to listen to his prattle the sword has indeed fall en but with a thud that portends om inous things for bro malloy only if we mistake not and the only consola tion he apparently has at this stage is in trying to solve tho problem what might havo been that tho charge laid against mr fitch was a frivolous one aud existed only in the fertile imagination of out contemporary clearly evidenced by the fact that no defence whatover was called for which in a sense might bo considered rather unfortunate for mr fitch as ho was thus debarred from showing more forcibly the uttpr groundlessness of the charge the case hovover will not be entirely devoid of good results in that the people of stouffville and surrounding country r will know in future what small-
