DEM DAD pleased to hear of the

rooters of the Meotionics' rosette° Inc
tho eetablielimenb of a night school, but
tide ie not the only imprevement that
ceu be made in that title. In order to
insure the (Maned as welt fie tho general
;volfere of the Lee tete I think it is high.
ly neceseary that the Institute be brought
more coospiononely before the pablia by
giving them all the advantages that a so -
dirty al its kiud can give. Whet is there
to attend etrengere ooming to town to
our Reeding Boom 1 A person might be
a, oonsiderable length of time amongst us
and not know even that we have is
fireehanioe' Institute, in fact I met a
young man jut the oder clay who hod
resided here nearly a year before he knew
Mot we possessed a public library. By
way of improvement I wonld suggest :-
1. That the first flat of some bnilding on
the Mate steed be seemed Inc the storing
of eur library ; 2. That an ottraetive
sign be hung out ; 3, That a supply of
the leadiug daily and weekly pitpere,
firstmlass magaziaes, rte., be kept on file ;
4. That our library be open a portion of
each week day for the benefit of members.
Hoping that Mose euggeetions will re•

The somalled Retaliatory Bill orient
by the American Congress provides that
after August 1, whenever the President
shall be satisfied that the passage
through any lock or canal conneoted with
the navagation of the St. Lavvrenoe
River, the great lakes or waterways con.
fleeting them, or any vessels oE the
United States, or of cargoes or passen-
gers in trausit to any pert of the Coiled
State, is prohibited or made difficult or
burdensome by the impositioa of tolls
whioh he shell deem to be reoiprooally
unjust or unreasonable, it shall be his
duty to suspend by proclamation, for
such time and to such extent, including
absolute prohibition, as he shall deem
just, the right of free passage through the
St. Mary's Palls Canal, so fe as it re-
lates to vessels owned by the subjeote of
the Government so disoriminating
against tbe oitizens, pelts or vessels of
the United States, or to any cargoes,
portions of cargoes, or passengers in
transit to the ports of the Government
making snide discrimination, whether
carried in vessele of the United States
or of other nations. The bill provides
also that during etch suspension toll
shall be levied upon freight not to exceed
92 per ton, and upon passengers not to
exceed $5 per head. No tolls are
to be levied upon vessels bound
to American lake ports. the
power thus vested in the president
could be made to work great annoyance
and considerable loss, as all the passen-
ger -carrying steamers in the Canadian
eervioe between Lakes Superior and
Hurou pass through the Soo, and by far
the largest proportion of the tonnage of
Canadian ownership passing through
the canal is employed in pessenger trans-
portation, and the business is lucrative,
espeoially in A.ugne and September.
