Tim Department of Education has issued a new programme of studies for I4igh'Sehaols and. Collegiate In- . stitutes. The most it 1j ortant and desirable change is the inclusion of a thorough course in commercial work and stenography, and the giving to this course the same option and as much prominence as .is given to languages, botany and physics. TIM French-Canadian Liberal papers of .Montreal on Saturday con- tained strong articles violently attacking the French-Canadian Ministers for not securing remedial legislation for the minority in Mani- toba, They are charged with cowar- dice,Haggart, , while Messrs. 1tIon-. tague and Foster are itemised of being the tools of the Orangemen, THE Manitoba School question is a very- disturbury element for the Dominion Government; Latest news is to the effect that three members of the Cabinet—Messrs. Caron, Ouilnet and Angers—had resigned, and that their resignations had been accepted. It is said that the cause of their resignatious is that they do not believe; the Premier will fulfil his ,promise to give the Manitoba minority Separate schools,and they insist . on the remedial legislation being passed at the present session. Tim animal report of dividends re- rnaining unpaid and unclaimed balances in the chartered banks has just been issued by the Department of Finance, Ottawa. From this it - appears that the total amount of un- paid. dividends on the 31st December last was $6,406, and of unclaimed balances $425,301. The correspon- ding figures in the previous year's return. were :—Unpaid dividends, $5,603 ; unclaimed balances. $460,- 852 ; or an.aggregate of $179,956. According to the report, 10,501 aeeounts have been reported, of which, 6,487. represent $11,318, or an average of nearly $135 each, and 4,017 ,represent $420,889, or an average of $104.65. In other words, three-fifths of the return is taken up on the accounts that average $1.75 eaeh. The most fruitful source of unclaimed sums, says Mr. .7. M. Courtney, Deputy -Minister of Fin- ance, is doubtless the death of the owner. The examination of the death return shows 370 cases (value $24,453) of accounts marked "estate or or "deceased." Tim Dominion Government, after long delay, has made up its mind on the Manitoba School question, and on Monday, in the House of Commons, Hon. Mr. Foster announced its decision, as ,follows t "I desire to state that the Government has had .under its consideration the reply of the Manitoba Legislature to the remedial order of the 21st of March, 1805, and after careful deliberation bas arrived at the following con - elusion. Though there may be differences of opinion as to the exact meaning of the reply in question, the Government believes that it may be interpreted as holding out some hope of an amicable settlement of the Manitoba school question on the basis of possible action by the Manitoba Government and Legislature, as the Dominion Government is most un - Willing to take any action which can be interpreted as forestalling or pre. eluding sueh a desirable consumnia- ion. r 'he Government has also considered the difficulties to be met With in the preparing and prefecting of legislation on so important and initricate a question during the last burs of the session. The Govern, Ment has therefore decided not to c ask Parliament to deal with remedial legislation during the present session, A ecu munieation will be sent in t- me iitol to tle Manitoba a Goveln- ment on the subject with a view to ascertaining whether the Government is disposed to make a settlement of the question which Will be reasonably satisfaetory to the minority of that Province, without platting it neces- sary to call into requisition the powers of the Dominion Parliament. :1 session of the present Parliament will be called together to meet not later than the first Thursday of Jan- uary next, if by that time the Mani- toba Government fails to make a satisfactory arrangement to remedy the grievance of the minority. The Dominion Government will be pre- pared at the next session of Parlia- went, to be called at above stated, to introduce and press to a conclusion such legislation as will , afford an adequate measure of relief to the said minority based upon the lines of the judgment of the Pty Coun- cil and the remedial order of the 21st March. 1895 " Ontario Crops. The following crop reports were received last Tuesday night; Bothwell --The wheat and oat crop in this vicinity- are about 60 per cent of an average crop. Hay not over half a crop. Corn looking well so far. Berlin—flay erop very light. Fall wheat poor ; late frosts and drought the cause. Spring crops fair. Brampton—Crops will be light.. Hay will not average half a. erop. The rains of the last few days came in time to save the potato • crop and add 15 per, cent to the spring grain. Cayuga --Crops in this vicinity have suffered much from the drought, Hay will be about a quarter crop. Wheat will be better than half a crop. Lindsay—The crops in this vicinity have suffered severely . during 'the past month. The bay crop is about a failure. Roots will not be so good as was expected. Minden—Hay' is practically a failure. Roots crops look well so far, •except turnips. Picton—The drought in Prince Edward has been most disastrous to the hay and pea crop. Hay is not more than a quarter of a crop.' Peas not more than half a crop. Fall wheat and rye are an average. Uxbridge --Crops on the whole are a fair average. • Walkerton — Crops generally in this vicinity are considerably below the average, while hay- and grass are poor. Welland—Hay ,. short and very poor, except some new meadows. Wheat fair. Oats poor. Corn pretty well, being able to stand the drought. Potatoes and root crop prospects fair. Watford—The long -continued dry weather in this section has had a very injurious effect on the crops. Hay will not average over half a ton to the acre. Fall wheat will be con- siderably under the average per acre, but it will be our best crop. Corn poor, with an oecasional good field, but all other spring grain is in a very bad state and prospects are very discouraging. All ° root crops look very poor for this season of the year. TEESWATER. The Roman Catholic pic-nic at Teeswater was held last Thursday. This pic-nic has been held annually for the last twelve years, without a break, so- that it is now come to be regarded. as an established institu- tion. Father Corcoran, the priest of that particular parish, seems.to bave the proper knack of making a plc-nic interesting, for they are always well attended and the finaneial result is invariably satisfactory. Father Corcoran is an Irishman and appar- ently everybody in that locality is of the salve nationality. One of the indispensables of a successful pie-nic is a welt gotten up dinner, and it is almost unnecessary to say that at Teeswater there is no lack in that regard. Outside of this the chief attraction of the day was the danc- ing platform. From morning till night, almost without cessation, the platform was kept fall of people eager to dance, and most of them seemed to have been there before, for they all danced well. A string band supplied the Musk, while a -couple of specialists, who occupied elevated seats, took turns in calling: off. Teeswater is a village of about i 1100 inhabitants, and they are the; most sensible 1.400 people in the I ening>.•--Walkerton Telescope. THE 1'XJNGLLM i,A„imE , JITLY 12, 1895, GLI N1 ARRQW.

CUL. The long continued clry weather is telling seriously on the crops. There is no hay, fall wheat is wither- ing, spring crops are very short, and the root crop is making no progress, Fodder of all kinds is going to be scarce ; eattlo •, are almost starving i now or the v v f want of pasture—Fires are getting troublesome and will be more so if we don'.t•oon have rain.— Mr, F.

Listowel took their second innings and had 102 runs for 7 wickets, when they stopped and let. Harriston go in, but by- wasting all possible time Harris - ton delayed the game so that at 6 o'clock, when they were to quit they had still one wicket to fall, Listowel having taken 9 wickets for 20 runs, thus Listowel. bad 176 runs for 17 wickets ta.Harriston's 105 runs for 19 wickets.

Montreal, Que., July 8.—There were about 400 head of butchers' cattle, 25 calves and' 400 sheep and lambs East b exec s of[ 1 sale for at the End abattoir to -day. The market to -day was considered to be the dullest of the season, as not many butchers put in an appearance, and those who came seemed to require very little beef, having already on hand about all they will need for some time, and the weather is rather unfavorable for keeping fresh meat long. There was a general decline in prices. Even good cattle partici- pated in the decline as well as the "grasshoppers," and it is probable a large number will have to be held over for another market. Prime steers and heifers, fed with meal on grass, sold at from 4c <<' 41c per pound, with pretty good stock at about 3?,c, and the more common and leaner beasts were rated at from a little over 2c up to about 3c per pound. The prices of calves were about the same as on last market, good veals selling at from $5 «' $9 each, and, common ones at from $2 a. $4 each. Mr. Bourassa bought five fine calves paying from $7 a` $9 for them, Sheep are exceedingly dull of sale, and prices are from 24e @ 3/c per pound. Good lambs bring from $3 ® $3.50 each, and common ones from $2 ® $2.75. Fat hogs are•scarce, at.from $4.50 @ $4.75. for 100 pounds. East Buffalo, N.
