A MEMORABLE EVENT. To -day is the fiftieth anniversary of the "Disruption, which led to the for - nation of the Free Church of Scotland. On the 18th day of May, 1813, owing to alleged encroachments by the State eon the spiritual rights and liberties of the established church of Scotland, 450 ;xnauisters with their representative eld- ers marched out of the building in which the General Assembly for that ye,ar met, and formed what was . called the Free Church. At the tune, it was felt to be a great blow to the establish- anent,—as many worthy divines took 13art in that secession. Theoretically they held to the principle •'that it was the duty of the Civil Magistrate to maintain and support an established religion,"—but in course of time the Free Church practically be, came voluntary in principle. In later czars, lay patronage was abolished al together; so that every congregation minor, i eercises the right of choosing its 'ewe Clergyman. "How it ever Came about iu this conutry, where all :churches are voluntary in principle. Chat the Free Church was imported bore --leading as teat step did to dis- ruption and to many heart burning disputes over questions legal and ec- clesiastical —is to the present , genera- tion a mystery. ; Happily,phowever. better light has dawned 'upon Presby- terians; terians; and now there is bat one swited.body of that particular branch ,of Christendom 'ie. Canada, In Scot fond, the Established Church has re• gained ground; and its member :ship now far exceeds that of the Free aird United Presbyterian ehurehee to. geether.

Jesus Christ in sincerity :and truth; PULLING. THE ,e11.LD,411ME r UP. A bill has been introduced into the Ontario Legislature, and has passed its second reading, whieh has for its ob jeer the curbing of the extravagance of municipal councils, The author of the bill is Mr Balfour, and he is prob- ably acting with the appn robatio of the Government,' Lot our municipal coun- cil read learn ` , mark, and inwardly wardly 3i_ est the following section. n "Int ee event � e t oi: the council of any municipality neglecting in any year to levy the amount required to be raised annually under this or any 'oth- er act to provide a siekiug fund' for the payment of the debenture debt of the municipality, every member of the council shall be personally liable to a penalty of $200, to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction by any. one who may sue therefor, and in ad- dition thereto shall be disqualified for holding any municipal office for the period of two years, but no member of the council shall be liable to the penal- ties hereby imposed who shows to the satisfaction of the court or judge that he did everything in his power to pro- cure the levying of the rate for the said sinking fund," The Legislature seems to be of the opinion that the municipal councils of the province have been too reckless in their expeuditures, and too prone to run their, constituencies headlong into debt. The bill is intended to curb that tendency by making each individual alderman liable to the severe penalties mentioned, namely, a fine of $200 and disqualifreatl rn for two years. No doubt the increasing strins•ency of the legislature is called for, and will have a salutary effect. The exports of breadstuffs from the United States last month were far be- low the re3ord of April, 1892, the de- crease being not less than 33 per cent. in value. Even this rate of decrease shows a decided changefor the better. Iu the four months ending with April the exports of this class, measured by market value, fell no less than 45 per cent. short of the figures for the corres- ponding part of last year.
