At 11 o'clock sharp the meeting was
called
to order by
the Rev. Rural
l
Dean
Hodgins as chairman, Mr. I. Dennis,
of Brussels, acted as secretary and
Mrs. Armstrong, of Goderieh, presided
at the orgau. The roll of delegates
was called, showing 87 present at the
;`corning session. Reports were receiv-
ed from the several schools, all showing
that Sunday school work in the deau-
ery of Huron was very flourishing.
An adjoiirnrnent was made for dinuer,
and on assembling again at two o'clock
the discussion of the subjects assigned
began, •
Rev. Mr. Griffin took up the subject
of ooeioties, their use in the church and
Sunday school. Without making ref-
erence to t he work of any particular
society, he advocated the employment
of every talent la the church iu what•
ever channel it can be best developed.
No one should expect the clergyman to
do all church work, but to act as the
leader and to control the workers.
Rev. Mr. Jeanes road a very valu-
able paper on the model teacher, set-
ting forth the idea at which all good
leachers should aim. This was the
deepest paper read at the convention
and certainly must have taken much.
time and stuly in its preparation,
Miss Sweet, of Exeter, took up the
subject of Sunday School literature,
. setting forth the necessity of paying'
more attention to the books, papers,
leaflets, etc., used in the Sunday school
They should be such as are iu sympa-
thy with the church's doctrine and cal-
culated to elevate the mind, broaden
the soul and make the children intelli
gent as well as active members of the
church.
Mrs. Fairlie, of Listowel, read one of
the most practical papers ofthe day.
The duties and responsibilities of the
S. 5, teacher. She adyocated 1, Sym-
pathy with the child out of school as
well as in the class. Gain his confi-
dence and half the work ot.teaohing is
done. 2. Thorough preparation of the
lesson. The class cannot draw water
nut of a dry well. 3, Not only teach
the lesson but live the lesson. Example
• is better than precept. She also en-
forced the necessity on part of teacher
of punctuality, churchmanship and
obedience to rector, etc.
A large congregation gathered in
the evening in St. Thomas' church,
where a choir of over 30 voices render-
ed an excellent service. The chanting
of the psalms and responses were gid*en
with the unison of a city choir. Rev.
Mr. Griffin assisted the rector in the
prayers, and Revd's Stout and Hunt
read the lessons. The sermon, which
was an excellent one. was preached by
Rev, Mr. Turnbull, rector of Goderich.
No attempt was made to display elo-
quence, but in plain, common sense
language the speaker enforced the ne-
cessity of a more diligent attention to
the religious training of children He
spoke of the shame which children
bring on parents by their misdeeds,
:and on the whole ably expounded the
words of the wise man in Prov. 4, 11—
"I have taught them in the way of wis-
dom, I have led them in the right path."
'Miss Pentecost sang one of her beauti•
fel solos during the offertory.
A strong .pull was made for the next
place of meeting by Exeter, Brussels
and Wingham when the latter won the
day and the next convention will be
held there in May 1896. The following
officers were elected:—Hon. Pres. Rev.
Rural Dean Hodgins; pres, Rev. L. G.
Wocd; vice pres, Miss M. Sweet, Exeter,
soc-treas, Mr. H. Dennis, Brussels; cor
see, Mrs. Foster, Winghain. Votes of
thanks were passed to the readers of
the papers and also to the ladies of Sea
forth for their very hospitable enter-
tainment.
The ruri•decanal meeting was held
in the school room on Wednesday com
3neneing with Holy Communion, at
whieh the Rural Dean was celebrant
and Rev. Mr. Fairlie assisting. At ten
o'clock the chapter opened for business,
all the clergy and many of the laity
being present. Business in connection
with the church work in the county
was discussed and some recommenda-
tions to the executive corntnittee at Lon-
don were put and carried. At the of
ternuon session the clergy discussed
points of ritual so as to bring about

Peterboro', June 3.—From facts ivhioh
have been brought to light within the
past few days there is every likelihood
that this bustling, and progressive town
of Petorboro' is about to furnish for the
reflection of the people of the Dominion a
story containing elements in many res-
pects as sensational as those which have
gone to stake up the cases which but late-
ly have excited the curiosity of the pub-
lic and occupied the attention of the
courts of justice.
In this case, too, as in some others
which have been subjected' to recent in-
quiry, the date 'at which the ciromnstan-
cos surrounding it. -took place is so dis-

ruatorial to its thorough espianation• to
have become obliterated, but already
many facts have been gathered together
which when arrange[. in sequence of tiano
apparently shod light on each other and
furnish a cannootett and suggestive narra-
tive.. When the ease was first brought
to the attention of the Government it ap-
peared so worthy of careful sifting that
Chief Provincial Detective John Murray
was deputed to take charge of it, and in-
quiries have so satisfied him of the neces-
sity for still further investigation that
the services of eminent inedical experts
have been retained to determine the
nature and cause ofco tain results whioii
will enter into the ease. Their report
will be submitted to the Government in
a few days, and will have considerable
bearing [,lion the course subsequently to
be pursued. •
In a quiet and secluded corner of Petor-
boro's pretty little Protestant cemetery,
situated on the bank of the Otonabee
River. the body el David Scollie has lain
in undisturbed repose for the past fifteen
months. With the crumbling of bis body
into dust the story of his life and the cir-
cumstances surrounding his death promis-
ed to be forgotten. There was little to
keep his memory green beyond the affec-
tionate remembrance of an only sister
and the occasional suspiaious murmur-
ings of those who in his life he had
known as neighbors. ` It was daring the
early morning hours of the 23rd of Feb-
ruary of last year that he died. Tho
house in which he lived was burned to
the ground, and it was supposed that he
had suet death in the fire. This supposi-
tion was sanctioned by the verdict of a
Coroner's jury, but was disputed in the
minds of many living in the locality,
whose whispered words spoke of foul play.
Justice, however, was reasurod by the
conclusion of the inquest and David Scol-
lis was buried.
Saturday afternoon the remains were
exhumed and a post-inortem examination
was held on thein in the mortuary vault
of the cemetery. The medical men Who
rendered this service were Dr. John
Caren, professor of pathology in the -ni-
versity of Toronto; Dr. A. Primrose, as-
sistant professor of anatomy, and Drs.
Boucher and Halliday of Peterboro', and
with then( at the ceremony were Detec-
tive Murray and Crown Attorney Wood.
After a careful examination of the re-
mains certain portions of the spinal ver-
tebrae were reserved for closer and more
minute inspection octi0n and the casket with its
t5
contents was again deposited in the earth.
For forty years David . Scollie had lived
of a small farm in the Township of Oton-
abee. About seven years ago a man
named Thomas Gray with his wife and
small family emigrated from Ireland and
coming to Canada tock up their residence
in this part of the Province. He worked
for Mr. Weir as a farm laborer for some
mouths but did not give the best of satis-
faction and finally his services were dis-
pensed with. Mr. Weir's farm is not very
far distant from that on which David
Scollie lived and during the time ' that
Gray was engaged ',veal Mr. Weir lie
formed the acquaintance of and often vis-
ited old David Scollie. The acquaintance
thus formed grew into intimacy and when
Gray left the employment of Mr. Weir he
and his family .took np their residence
with "Old Davie" as he was . familiarly
known in the neighborhood. Gray pro-
posed to the old roan that they should
enter into a bargain which he no doubt
represented to be ono of mutual advant-
age whereby Davie should make over his
:':rm to Gray on the understanding that
Gray should maintain 'him comfortably
for the balance of his life. The compact
was finally agreed upon and the services
of a lawyer were called in to draw up the
agreement in proper form. This agree -
le ant was "signed, scaled and delivered."
At this time David Spine had passed
his sixtieth year and in the natural course
of events could not be expected to live
very much longer. At the end of the
second year it was that the first sign of
discontent began to appear in the house
hold. The neighbors allege that to sever-
al of thorn Mrs. G:•ly complained of
Davie's singular tenacity to life and as-
serted her firm belief that he would live
as long if he did not outlast her and her
husband. About this time a singular ac-
cident took place to which in the light
of subsequent events the neighbors have
attributed a sinister vignificanco. While
standing in front of his house a flower-
pot fell or was thrown from an up stairs
window and striking the old man upon
thehead stunned him and left an ugly
mark upon the scalp. He was looked
after by the neighbors during the slight
illness which followed and was not tend-
ed by Mrs. Gray as ono would naturally
suppose he should have been. Tho casual-
ty was ascribed by Mrs. Gray.to an acci-
dent which happened through the negli-
gence of .a child who was playing with the
flower -pot. The next misunderstanding
that occurred in the family arose over a
quarrel between Mrs. Gray and Old Davie
in the course of which it is alleged Mrs.
Gray accused the old man of having al-
ready cost thoni more for his mainten-
ance than his farm was Worth,
A few days before the death of the old,
roan Cray visited some place in the west',
apparently on a matter of business and
during his absence it was that the fatal-
ity took place.. About two o'clock on the,
morning of .l'obruary 23rd the neighbors
were arousedthe ri o ar t

TEACHERS IN COUNCIL.
Erits'r DAa-EyENlNG•,
In the ,evening Dr. Bigsby, of Detroit
who had taken a prominent part in the
exorcises of the day, delivered an elo-
quent and instructive address in the
1'owu Hall, on"The schools of England
and Dr. Arnold," to a large and appre-
ciative audience.
Clinton, May 23rd, 1895,
The associations met in separate sett-
signs, as per adjournment:,
Business n of a routine naturewas
transacted by both Associations..
In East Huron Association the elec.,
tion of officers took place and resulted
as follows: President A. Scott. Sea-
forth; 1st vice-president, J. H. Camer-
on, Brussels; 2nd vice-president, Miss
Robertson, Wingllam; scc.•treas,, A, H.
Plummer, Blyth; ex. cum,, Messrs.
Dobbs, Ring, Shillinglaw, Misses Will
son and McEwen; delegate to the 0. P.
T. A., J. H. Cameron: auditors, Messrs.
Anderson and Metcalf, of Blyth.
In the West Huron Institute it was
decided to hold au Autumn meeting.
J. S. Deigaty gave notice that at the
next meeting of the Association he
would move that in future the Associa-
tl0nhold only onee meeting
yearly.
At 10 o'clock the united Association
assembled in the general assembly
room of the Collegiate Institute.
J. B. Weatherhead occupied the
Chair,
Roll call showed 200 teachers in at-
tendance,iu both Associations.
11 was decided to pay the secretaries
2 each for reporting the proceedings
of the Association,
Dr. Bigsby was again called and con-
tinued phonic drill.
]1, I. Strang gave some explanations
regarding a change iu the program
with reference to the paper in rhetoric
to he discussed by J. S. Cameron.
Mr. Cameron was then introduced,
and showed his manner of dealing with
rhetorical analysis. He took a para-
graph from the "Plague of Locusts,"
High School Reader, as this lesson.
This paper proved very interesting and.
instructive, and the teachers expressed
their high appreciation of Mr. Lamer•
on's method of teaching the subject.
The question -was further discussed
by Messrs, Musgrove and Robb.
Dr. Bigsby was again introduced
and continued his discussion on lang-
uage. In teaching composition, teach-
ers were urged to encourage the child
ren to ase simple words, the simplest
words aro the strongest. By all means
children should be got to use their own
words, it is the only way to make a
child strong in language. More atten-
tion should be given to synonyms and
slang words and phrases, as these were
ulcers on the body of language. In
teaching the word method the forms of
printed letters should be given to the
children, each child a little boxful of
these letters. Following a consecutive
thought as 1, names; 2, numbers; 3,
parts of a thing; 4, qualities; 5 compar-
ison, 6 comparison of different snbjects;
7 being; 8 haying; 9 acting. There
must be the objects themselves. It
must be borne in mind that a word is
the visible form of an idea or object.
Peas and toothpicks should be used and
get the little ones to make objects such
as chairs, &c. Have also saad boxes,
and let the children trace in the sand
forms, of things as maps, and by means.
of flour,l
blue, fine coffee, green powder,
these maps can be made to represent
the real landscape.
At this stage of the proceeding the
hour of adjournment arrived and the
association adjourned for noon till 1.30
1'. M.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The association met at the hour fixed
on
adjournment.
Inspector Tom was at once called on
and proceeded to discuss Phonics. He
said he believed the phonic method was
the best to pursue in teaching reading.
Reading is a means to an end; it is the
key by which we unlock the storehous-
es of learning. The development of
reading took the following order: 1.
Recognition of words; 2, extractiou of
thought; 3 expression of thought, Rote
reading should de discouraged under
every circumstance. Tho sound of
vowels should be given first and then
the children well drilled on these.
Print and script should be used and
taught at the same time. Teaching
by the phonic system is synthetic and
the most natural.
The discussion was continued by
Messrs. Robb, Plummer, Lough, Lowery
and Delgaty.
Dr. Bigsby then proceeded to discuss.
history. He said that was a fearfully
neglected subject in Canadian and
United States schools.
General contemporaneous history
should be taught, not so much ancient
history. Dr. Bigshy's remarks were of
necessity very brief on account of time.

suits and gowns do not cost her over a dime
the price of a package of Diamond Dyes.”
