Great Western a few clays ago, and laid their scheme before these gentlemen, and it receieed their approval and pro- mises of assistance. M the last meeting of the S. Marys Town Council the following reeolution was unanimousle passed : That a com- mittee be appointed to d.evise a plan ,for the eneiyaragement of manufacturers inn the town,of St. Marys, and report to this Council at its first 'meeting, the result of their investigations. We h pe this para- graph will hava the effect of bringing the manufactory question back to the minds of our village fathers once more, -- All over the country the towns and villages are granting bonuses and estab- lishing manufactories. Peterborough has submitted a by-law giving Messrs. Paton, Moir & Co. $10,000 to enable them to extend their woolen manufactory to th r e times its present capacity. Oshawa is tb have a straw hat manufac- tory, tbe village granting $5,000 ',bonus to the c mpany. The good eld-fashoned way of "teachi g the youngidea howeto shoot," by frequent land vigorous applications! of the r d, seems to be getting more and more out of favor.

From the unusual number of Combi- nations that have lately taken place in. Canada,, it may well be asked, \Vhither are we drifting' and, whether is it the strong or the weak that receives most advantages from these unseemly Com- binations? A few yeers ago was formed the great Combination of political par- ties, for the loyal and potriotic purpose of effecting Combination, and that Com- bination. has enabled John A- to hold the reins of power to this hour, and hes been a cloak for all kinds of political ter- giversation aud- corruption. And there ..is no disputing the fact that john A. and his party reaped more advantages from that Combination than did the Reform- ers, from the fact that be held the pat- ronage of the Government at his finger - ends, -and, although the Combination Government might, to a certain extent, prevent him. from bestowing it on certain parties, they could not prevent him from secretly lavishing unboueded promises, for the purpose of drawing supportto his Governmeat. But unfulfilled promises will only pass current for a limited time, hence the general corruption and open bribery practiced by his lieutenant, John Sandfield, to bolster up his tottering Government, which led in the end to the disruption and entire annihilation. of the Combination Government of Ontario. And there is no doubt but that the same fate awaits John A., at no distant day. We have also had the great Huron Salt Combination, wlich raised the price of Salt from $1 per barrel to $1 75, which was the men e of checking the demand, and which cioeed a number of the Salt wells, and lived but a few months, dying by litigation among the Combinationists, and Salt is again reduced to$1 per barrel. • We have also, I believe. the Lawyers', Dodtorst Saddlers', Tavernkeepers', Blecksniiths' and a host . of other com- binations, all for the purpose of regu- lating or making uniform their va.rieus charges or foes and also, supponeefor the purpose Of protecting themselves from the avaricious grasp of their cus- tomers. Now, are not these combinations for ,making uniform and raising charges or the prices of articles but a shrewd busi- ness dodge, got up by the wealthy, for their own particular benefitat the ex- pense of their poorer, bot more industri- ous, competitors, who are struggling for exis telt ee. Every intelligent inan must know that adhering strictly to combina- tion prices would be the means of reduc- ing nnany a poor industrious man to bankruptcy. For instance, suppose a bla.eksmith owes a note, which is due, for $1.00, bat he has a new wagon at his door. the combination price of which is $110 ; a customer conies along and offers hint $100, cash ; it would certainly be more virtuous for the blacksmith to take the $100 and save himself from bank- ruptcy than to keep faith with the cone- binationists. On the other hand, his older -established and more wealthy com- petitor can afford to keep his waggon until he gets the price required. So, you. Will at once see that the advantages of Coinbinations, generally, are in favor of the- fqw wealthy, at the expense of the many poor men. This same rule will apply to all professional and trades unions. But, a Combination for making uniform the charges of mechanics or professional men is simply absnrd in the extreme, becauee we all kndw from ex- perience that some men's eervices are worth double and treble that of others.

EDITOR, —My criticism on the in- troduc ry part of Mr. Hayes' lecture on the correlation .and persistence of force, wliereiji he stated that the study of his subjec afforded positive proofs that these forces were of a supernatural origin, has brought him out with a come metrication on the subject, written, I am happy to say, in that gentleman's usual cpierteous and respectful style' and free from everts taint of personal bitter- ness, Which is allowed. too often to inspire contro4rsalists aud beset with unneces- sary difficulties the path of investigation. • Mr. tfiteres accepts my criticism as a friendli challenge to discuss the broad question on its Own:me:ribs, and expresses his willingness to join issue on this point, namely, that the. 'study of the forces pf nature affords positive proofs • that t ese forces are of supernatural origin. My objections to this deduction are met by quotations from Herbert Spender, re1ating4 to the persistence of force as sustaining the theory of the supernatural origin of force. This does not appear to me cleat. as a conclusion; for, admitting the doctrine of the persistence •of force, 'how is its supernatural origin proven? It seem to me unfortunate for the side ofi the question which Mr. • Hayes. sup- ports that some argument or illustration has not been given, showing the connec- Tt tion bety een the correlation of forces and the su ernatural. It is true ethaf an opinion is expressed by Mr. Hayes on this. question ; but is an opinion unsupported by proof to be received as authority up- on any tuesdon? • . To cl, monstrate this • question Mr. Hayes claims is beyond the scope of a 11ewsp4er article, but it is unfortunate that arneng the "Multitude of experi- .ments and -various investigations," &c., net even one is given to illustrate this subject) Instead of an -illustration, an opinion iis given that "it seems then to be dem4strated to vie that force does exist in the universe apart from matter ; if this force exists, then, it /mist be eithereldrivative or self creating If the former, then it demonstrates the exist- • ence of A still greater and incomprehens- ible ca* or force which caused or will- ed.e A into. existence," &c. Even if it could, be demonstrated that force does ex- ist apare from matter, how isi it to be proven that this force is of supernatural origin? i But it devolves on Mr. Hayes to shOw4when he assumea this position, that theiforces have a separate existenee from th ei matter with which we always find them connected.. Can he shovr that force a d matter are separable? • The 1) very sco e of his lecture was to - show that ne force in nature is destroyed, that theta is the same quantity of force in natUre that always was, that when it is • apparently kirmihilated, it is simplyexpended in one form to be stored up in AnOthAr form. Henceif this position be correct, are we not just fied in asking- !Ifni Hayes how force cou., d be originated; and if force was not orig.. nated what meaning can at - each to the statement of force having a • supernatUral origin. • , : 15 is admitted that there are forces in operation which are not considered as essential property of matter, but are gen- erated b a property of matter that is property lof attraction. This is the only essential to its existence. That is the actual force that may be considered as an essential property of matter. The rest may be said to he motive forces, de- rived from this causation. • . To Utile trate this siibject, let us suppose that the Whole solar system is resolved into its cOnstituent atoms, diffused over a space Aar exceeding the sphere of the orbit of Neptune. °These atoms, by virtue of the power of attraction, would_ condense into smaller space. • That act ofeondeasation would generate motion; this mottim once imparted creates a force that can tever be destroyed, but is trans- mitted from atom to atom, and depend- ing, on physioal conditions, assumes the various fclorms considered in the subject of the correlation of the forces. Hence it is not difficult for the mind to con- ceive that during the act of formation of •the innumerable worlds of the universe, that vast volumes �f force are set operation and that these forces may be -- come a more elevated plane of further causation But he.se Threes that are exhibited. to us in their' infieity and omnipotence in the graxi). scale of the universe can be reproduced in the chemist's laboratory, ad by a:simple illustration can be easily understood. • If twor more drops ofwater be placed -upon a them a globular form; if placed sulfici- usty surface, attraction. gives , en tly near they will unite and .form one bodylf two solutions of different sub- stances are brought itt contact, a force is eet in operation, owing to the invariable law of attraction, that produces a sensi- ble amount of heat. If we attach two wires to 1 this, according to conditions necessary this force assumes another , form knoten as. electricity ; if manipulat- ed ace.or4ng to certain formula gives off heat in seiark.s equal in quantity to that otherwise l formed in the fluid.. . These 41ustiations rnay possibly assist us to understand the eloquent quotation from DA Youmans, how • thie farce • " governs l the movements of the Heaven- lybodies and precidee over the genesis of theconstellat,ions," and. that "star and. nerve ticue ' is but a poetical synonym for the aboriginial expression, that "all flesh is grass," or " earth to earth," and. " dust to I dust." • I think it is quite safe to . say that forte never manifests itself disaesociated from matter, nor does A appear to me possible to conceive of the idea of force but in cennection with something to be affecteil by. it Matter And force are cor- related. We cannot think of the one without thinking of the other. What- ever occurs in the order of nature or bears relation to preceding or succeeding, phe- nomena, otieht not, for any reason that I can discover, to be called supernatural or ascribed to such a source ; belt as the energies of the forces of nature are as regular iti .their manifestatioos as any thing of which we have any idea, they must therefore be as natural as any thing can be conceived to be. When it is az- serted that force can exist apart froni matter, it ie implie& matter can exist apart from force ; but can we conceive of matter a,part from gravity? " It is a most valuable principle in physical sci- ence," says Prof. Tait, of Ediuburgh, " never to be lost sight of, that we must never seek- to explain by the assumption. of a new species of force in action, any phenomena which have not been reeog- nized to be inexplicable by eneanS of pro- perties of matter or motion already prove ed to exist." .. Another celebrated author says : "11 .by nature be meant a heap of dead matter destitute of properties, purely passive, we must unquestionably seek out of this nature the principle of her mo- tion ; but if by nature lee meant or un- derstood the whole Of that vast asseme blage of existences of which the numer- ous parts are endowed with diverse and various properties, which.oblige them to act irsla.ccordance with these properties, which are in perpetual reciprocity of ac- tion and reaction, which attract and re- pel ; which unite and. separate ; which by continual approximation and constant collisimi produce all the bodies we be- hold, then there is no need to look be- yond this nature for the principle of her motion and activity." In conclusion, I accept the following, among others, of the conclusions at which Mr. Hayes has deliberately arrived, after carefully considering the subject from the best light he sia.s been able to obtain, namely :''That we have established a mutual relation or identity between the various fgrins of energy in action through- out inorganic nature ancl the phenomena of life, including mental and emotional activity," but - fail to see how this con- clusion, important as its worth is, will help to demonstrate his proposition. W. CAMPBELL. Melchizedek. When I was a boy about thirteenyeare old, I started off to see some friends who lived Several Irish miles from 'our town, but the afternoon becoming very wet, I was obliged to take shelter en a way side tavern. There were quite' a number of persons in the house, who like myself, were caught in the rain, and -aniong them three comfortable looking farmers, who were sitting at a table drinking porter, and by their load talk seemed to be enjoying themeelves hugely. About the time .1 had got myself dry and. some- what coenforeable, one of them cattle to the fire, and haying looked at me for some time, ceneeneaced questiordng me at fol- 1":isiVel viz1;my boy, where :have you come fro,mFTr" •"From the town of B—."
