Burton and Smith are deter- mined to place a line of stages on the route between Washago, at the `outlet of Lake `Couchiching anal Bracebridge, -`to run in connection with their steamer Ida Burton." This of course will cause them to expend con~iderable money`. We trust. that tl;eir patronage will be commensu- rate with their outlay. At all eventsa line of stages to run in connection with the Ida Burton between these two im- portant points, cannot `fail to be produc- tive of inuch good, apart from the ques- tion of comfort and convenience to the travelling coinmunity. `- EDITORIAL SUMMARSE. .. .....cu pcr\':1ueLl cue parents, re, to` lo:t. otlxer schools, and the` other school sections, Jienr of of the aluiIvit.y and earnestness . lmninrv Hunt on... no um...

There can be no doubtthat Dr. Moriarty may hetaken as a very fair exponent of Ro- man Catholic feeling on this subject. His letter may therefore be accepted as a manifesto of some importance. In the first place, he hears testimony to the - tranqnilizing inuence of this measure -upon`the`Irishpeople.

All this tends to jus- tify the opinion of those who l1a\'e main- tained that the Irish Church was a stumb- ling-block in the path of reconciliation. Dr. Moria:-ty s satisfaction is not unquali- _ tied. He begins by praising Mr. Glad- stone s'intentions, but goes on to criticise his plan with some severity. . He suggests seine modifications which stand no chance of being accepted by Parliament; and we are ledto infer that if they are not ac- cepted the bill will end in the disappoint- ment of all parties. that I have o\_'er.'~:tated its purport.

We would fain hope the notion, [`E_ is long since obsolete that a company can - = set up a monodoly to prevent civilization m_. and settlement as they see fit. Mononolics have gradually disappeared in this Colin- tr '. There was the political monopolv of the family which had to crumble before the force of public sentiment; then fol- lowed the Canada Company, which locked up large tracts of land, and doled them out at high prices so as to enrich its shareholders; but its power has been broken, and the ve counties it held are pretty much in the hands of a thrifty population. This Hudson s Bay concern is the most odious of all monopolies, for re it claims the right of defying all power r. or rule on this` continent, and sets up a sort of rule of its own`. which became so oppressive thata portion of the inhabi- tants of the Red River set up for them- selves. and have existed for two or `three . years in astute ol'perfcct independence. _ The Company have been afraid to molest them, lest interference on their part might lead to annexation to the United. States; and notliiug; could tend more to such a result now than the continuance of this monopoly. Most people are agreed that the transfer of the .'l.`errito_- to Canada is every way desirable, audit will be too bad if negotiations should fail at this juncture, when there appears - `to be such a favorable chance~of admit- ting to the privileges ofa free govern- ment and superior institutions a people who have been so shamefully treated as the inhabitants ofthe Red River country. ' '1`he_great aim and design of the project A- of admitting the North-west. imo the union has been, not so much to advance V the interests of the Dominion, as to open ill` up a magnificent wilderness to settle- tl_1r uncut, and make room for the surplus gt` populations of the Old World. We have OW ample room and verge enough in the Dominion, it is true, but the boundaries of civilization should not be circumscribed Se` within their present narrow limits. `Be- yond the connes of Cmiada. is an in`.- -' meuse territory, teeming with-mineral fl" wealth and all the natural productions of W` the earth, over which, with the exception _l of a few spare settlements under the con- '4" trol of the Hudson's Bay Company, .the 3" beasts of the forest roam to afford Q: Cl-96 t0 the Inrlinna uzlun urn u..!.

But it is clear beyond doubt, that nltltougli this fur-trading Company :ha.l- . the sanction of the Imperial Government to room at will over the fair domain ex- tending from 'the`hend waters of Lake north_ward to the- frozen regions of per- petual snow, it never could have been in- tended that they should hold such a belmof, independently of all cont_rol of either the Imperial or Coloninl Gorern- I ment.

How the Canadian Government crime to mnke such an mistake as to suppose that they haul nothing to rlo but declare by a resolution of the House of Commons that the. innnense North-west Territory wns pnrt and parcel of the Dominion we_ have yet to learn, but it is evident, never-I tireless, that it sud blunder was commit- ted ; and possibly that very act in a '1 measure retarded the negotiations in the mutter. At all eventa, there has been any amount of diflirsulty ever since, and the Government may not yet see their way so clearly as they should do. The question must certainly come up in the npprnnching session, ivhntever may be the state of the negotiations that have been going on nt such :1 large expense to this country. `The time lmseome when the Pnrlimnent of Clllltl. must declare nguinst the monopoly of the` Huclson s Buy Company, if-they will n'ot_lis_te`n_ to reason, and nccept. the o'er tenrlered to them.

The sum proposed to he paid is as rea- sonable as could be expecte(l,- and this country will be well satised with the arrangement if carried out in accordance with the recommendation of Sir Statlbrd Norcote, who, like Sir Bulwer Lytton, is a true friend of Canada. Tliequestion thus far has been surrounded by all sorts of diiculties, and it does not appear that our Government had any well dened notions upon the subject. It will be re- membered wlint a hurry they were in to obtain the san'ctiou of Parliameutin 1867, in.order, as they said, to prevent any desire on the part of the people. of the Territory to become annexed to the people of the United States. A resolu- tion committing Parliament to the trans- fer of the Territory was rushed through, and we were told that this secured every- thing, and virtually admitted the whole of the Hudson s Bay (Jouutry into the (Jonfederation; but. some considerable time has elapsed, and the transfer has ye`. to he made.

The Glee Club san_r__2 several excellent pieces; amongst _tbcm might be mentioned Old Piney Woods, Wake Nicodemus,' and Our Old Ca- nadian Home. Their rendering of Nico- dernus deserves special mention, and was repeatedly encored. Miss Viclc played, __ with considerable taste, the rliti'crentac- y companimcnts on the melodeon. The Charge of the Liglit.fBrig:1 was read by Mr, Elliott; and, stepping from the sublime--to `the rediculous, `he gave a parody on it, called'.The Charge of the Dress Brigrlde, which caused a good deal ot'_laugl_rter and rnerriment. Mr. L`ozz.r_-us, `by special request, sang in lueautilul style The White Squall, and was raptur- ously encorcd. Mr,` Henry Portas sang Her briglrt smile haunts me still. anal, on being eneored, sang Nora O Neil. Mr. Ogle recited the Legend of Pales- tine. Mr. Geo . .\Vray sang Ellen Lee, and Reuben \Vrightaud Plicebe Iimwn, and in response for a warm encore for the latter song, he gave a comic song, '1` re. Beautiful Boy. A violin solo, -Ever oi` Thee," by Mr. Haugh, was much admired ; for anjencorc he gave another solo. Mr. . Elliott read Anni_ta s Prayer-, witli-con- siderable _ pathos. Mrs. Cozzens sang, with'e.\'quisite sweetness, \Vhy don't :1 letter conic, which received a well de- , served encore, which "she answered by courteously singing Will you meet me, darlin,-_p-;-Jnd_v. at_ the old garden gate.

The trustees, [seeing that avlurge and commodious school- room is essential to comfort, order and progress, have resolved to build one during the coming summer; which will cost, I am informed, something like $1.50!) or $1,800. Good for Lefroy. Will some of our narrow-znincled trustees take notice, and act accordingly? Surely so, since every attention is paid to pens for sheep,-sheds for cattle, and burns and stables for grain and horses; and of hcw much more value are their own children than these! Is` it not lamentable to see the exhibition grounds, and even" the race course, crowded with old and `young, of both sexes. while the exhibition of mental abilities, and the progress of their own offspring, aregilinosr, if not in some cases " absolutely, disregarded? A great many think that, if their little ones aresent` to school a few days in the week, or a feivi,/yveeks in thewinter sea- son. it is all they can do, or that duty requires of them.
