• The Toronto Normal School.
A young mail by the- wane of
Joseph M-artin, foal ;Stil-
ton, in the County of Halton, has
written a couple of letters to( the
Toronto (lobe, commenting, m the
most severe terms, upon the man-
agement of the Normal School, and
the conduot •of its Principle,
Dr.. Davies. This person plainly
,
falsity should be speedily and satis-
factorily established.. The Normal
School is by far too important an in-
stitution in this county to allow it
to remain under the stigma, of in-
competent and itnpreper manage-

The Bela 1V1iller Bridge.
The Ben Miller Bridgeozlifficulty
.has at length ebeen settled. Our
readers will reniember from our re-
port of the proceedings of the Coun-
ty Council at the late meeting that
the County Engineer reported that
he had commenced the erection of a
bridge over the Maitland River, at a
smaltplace called.Ben Miller, on the
tOwn line between the townships
states that this mast important edu-
cational institution! is "grossly 'this-
m.anaged, and the power entrusted to
tae Principle mos D scandalously
abused and de,giladed." support of
this serious: charge, the writer. pro-
ceeds to show in what manner the
school is mismanaged, and, how the
authority of the Principle is ahused.
The Principle is accused of irtcom-
petency as a teacher, and ignerancs,
of the branches which he under-
takea to teach. Further than this,
he is accused of allowing himself
to be led away by passwn, and Of
indulging in "low slang' and " in-
sulting language" to the lady stu-
dents under his r:barge. In fact,
the language used to the lady stu-
dents is said to be " Unfi t to be read.
in the family circle' If one half
• of what this writer says of the Nor:
mal School and its Principle be true,
the institution is in a deplorable
condition, and is •conducted by a
monster in human form. !These
charges, however, should be received
. with great caution.•_ The One of
writing, and 'the language used;
seem to indicate that the writer is
actuated more by feelings of revenge
than a desire to correct existing
evils. This feeling is much szongtli-
ened when we consider thitt this
person was but a portion. of a ses-
sion a student of the school,' and
that he watt then, by his own con-
fession, expelkd from the school,
for misconduct and violating the
rules, The Ptinciple,'it seems' also,
was the main agent in securing his
expnlsion, This may account, to a
very great degree; for the venom
and virulence with which the insti-
tution and- its head master is assail-
ed. if the charges made be cor-
rect, is it not passing strange that
the first intimation of them should
come from au expelled student?
Dr. Davies hat been connected with
the Normal School for several.yeats,
and has been its Principle for three
years. During that time many re-
spectable and intelligent gentle-
men and ladies have attended the
institution, and not one whisper has
ever been heard from any of them
of such irregulat ides and brutality
as that said to exist by the writer
in question. Although, as an in-
structor, Dr. Davies may have his
• faults we are loath to believe that
hettcould be guilty of flip ungentle-
manly and immoral conduct at-
tributed to him. . He has long been
known as a gertleman of unexcep-
tionable character, and it will take
- much stronger evidence than ,the
unsubstantiated statement of an ex-
pelled student to make us believe
that he could be guilty of using,
- toward hit pupils, even insnitbag
, language, not to say " language un-.
fit to appear' in 'print."
We are not sure that the columns
of a public journal is the propet
channel through which Alt Martin
• should vent his grievances. He
claims that in being expelled from
the school he was unjustly treated,
althongh he acknowledges that he
did violate the rules. Had he not
been so expelled, it is not at al/
probable that the public 'would ever
have heard from him of any of these
irregularities he complains of. If,
as he seems to think, he had been
• unjustly treated, had he complained
to the proper a,uthorities for redrOsst
instead of abusing and .villifaing
through a public journal those
whom he believes injured him, it
• would have been far the more honor-
• able course. •
Now, _however, that these grave
charges have been made, and pub-
lished to the worid, in justice to all
•.cencerned, a thorough investigation
into the working and management
of the institution should be imme-
diately instituted. Mr. Martin's ac-
•cusations should be thoroughly test-
ed, and if the `math be not in thew,
• he should. be publicly stamped at a
baso and cowardly slanderer. If,
on the other hand„ the charges
against Dr. Davies be found correct,
• .andtif it be ascerteitted that he le
incompetent for the position he fills
he should be removed from, it at
-once. Such charges should .tnot be
allowed, to remain uninvestigated
for a single day. Their truth or
these late accessions tet the Cabinet
will not add much to its strength by
their telent in debate or their ex-
ecutive ability, neither will they
give their leader much trouble in
their mtnagement. They will be
as passive as sucking doves, and will
follow their master as meekly as
well-trained spaniels. The honor of
the positien and the $8,G00 salary
are the principal considerations. • So
long as these are safe, Sit John or
any other man may manage the rest,
Lor all they care. The only animal
in the Government menagerie now,
besides Sir John hintself. that has a
grain of pftick or life, is Dr. Tepper,
and he is inclined more to sound
then substance. All the others will
have to be stirred up with a sharp
tick before even a grunt can be got
from them. •

• was reported that this neW
bridge would' cost at least .$10,-
0`00, that the contract for bald-
ing the piers had oeen let, and that
the timber for the bridge- had been
purchased. The cost of the new
bridge was consideved exorbitant by
the Council. Inotructions were ac-
cordingly given to stop the work;
and a Committee was appointed to
confer with the contractors for the
aad make arrangements with
them to have the contract canceled.
This Committee met the contractors
on Wednesday of last week, and in-
duced them Co abandon their con-
tract -for a consideration of 4300.
The Warden's Committee met at
Godetich on Wednesday; for the
purpose of examining -the old ()ridge
and determining what repairs shoeld
be made ou th The Committee ex -
entitled the bridge and found it • to
be in tolerably good condition, and
that, with some reoairs, it will meet
the requirements for, several years
to come. They accqiclingly instruct-
ed the Engineer to erect under it a
new pint, and make other repairs
which in the main will atuount to
about . Thus, by the action
of the Council at the last session, an
unnecessary expenditure -of about
$9,000 has been averted. - We 'can-
not, however, absolVe the Council
from all Warne in the matter. There
will be a direct loss ro the County
in connection with this transaction
of about $400. The $300 given
to the contractors foi the piers, to
induce them to forego their contract,'
and the expenses, of Committees,
which witl not amount to much less
than $100, is just so • much dirent;
loss to the - Cotinty. These
sums might as well have been sunk I

The health of Emperor William

cil is in great Pleasure responsible.
At the previous meeliug of the
Council), the Engineer reported the
bridge at Ben Miller an unsafe
condition, an I asked permission to
erect a new bridge, at a cost of
$7,000 or $8,000. This permission
was granted without one word of
remonstrance. If, therefore,- the
old bridge with an expenditure of
$800 can be made to meet all that
is required of it, it was as unnec-
essary to build a bridge at a cost of
$8,000 as one at a cost of. $10,000.
Before the Council granted to the
Engineer the privilege of expending
b0 rar,ge BUM on ooe bridge, they
should have taken the necessary
steps to acquaint thenvelves with
the facts of the case. - This they
failed to do, and the result is that
about $400 is lost to the County.
This demonstrates clearly the ne-
cessity tor a Committee such as we
euggested last week, t� advise with
the Engineer as to pubiic works re-
quired and the letting of jobs.
The lesson the Council have learn-
ed in this matter, will. no doubt, be
of future service to them. Before
they again give their Engineer such
swinging powers, and such liberal
use of money, they will, at least,
ascertain whether or not his recom-
mendations are soiled, and wheth-
er extensive public works which he
asks permission to undertake,
really • revired. We have every
reason to hope that. hereafter the
public works of thb County will be
more closely looked after by the
• Council, and that they will be con-
ducted on a more economical, and
at the same time, more efficient
principle.

The depot was "thrown in " as part of

friendly (they do say that one city editor

amateur singers of the city were ofered
the privilege of leearing themselves sing

The city paper t commenced their

but by an unaccountable blunder the

side instead of at the end, so that only
the portion of the *audience in front of

sic ; the seats were of rough planks and.
sufficient to accommodate only a small
portion. of the attendants, and the 81111
came down through the glass in the roof
in hot -house fashion. Considering the
, disadvantaoes, the mnsic was not at all .
discreditable. There were about athou-
sand singers and, it is claimett, three
hundred instrumental performers, and

chorus attempted nothing ambitious,

the "Star Spangled Banner," the " 1111-

and other well-known seleations-the
"Anvil Chorus " of course doing duty at
almost all perfortnances. The hammer-
ing was executed very ably by titenty-
four amateur blacksmiths in uniform.
The orchestral performances were excel-
lent, and the ; cornet, darionet and
euphon solos by Gilinore's soloists were
of course admirable, though the incessant
moving abut ef the multitude greatly
marred theeeffect. The immense size of

TORONTO BUTTER MARKET.
There is still very little coming for-
ward, and it is difficult to give quota -
bons. Some few tote, however'of
quality, in tennets, have been taken at
15e, and holders are now asking 16e. It
is anticipated that prices will rule rather
higher than last seasou for medium to
good shipping qualities, and it is very
much to be hoped that the attation so
generally drawn to thee inferiority of so
much of the butter Mirketed last year,
will have some effect during the present
,season in producing an ;article which
shippers can handle at a fair price with-
out fear of loss.

TOROPO -CATTLE. MARKET.
Tempera), June 18,1873.
BEEVES. - With rather more arrivals
than last week and a slacker demand,
the market has gradually weakened, and,
although selected cattle would still bring
$5, there are sellers by the car load. at $4
75 for prime well -fatted steers. • The
receipts by rail, boat, and on foot were,
about 230 head, mostly of good quality.
We quote first-class $4 75 to 5 per 100
lbs., live weight ; second -.class , 84 25 to
$4 50 ; and third-class $3 75 to $4. The
following are some of the sales which
have taken place: two ear loads three-
year old steers. averaging 1,200 lbs. at'
$5: one ear of fat cows, average 1:300
lbs., at $4 50; two cars three and four
year old steers, average 1,275 roe, at $4
, 75; one car of oxen, average 1,500 lbs.,
at $4 25. About four cars were sold in
lots at from $4 50 to $5 ; and _several ears
were held over.
• Sneee. --*Clippecl) are now arriving
• pretty freely, but net in excess; of the de-
mand, and all coming in have found ready
sale at $6 for first-class, $1 50 to $5 for
second-class, end $3 to $3 25 for third-
class.
LAMBS. --Continue in good .supply, but
the demand from local butchers is ample
to absorb everything offered, quotations
remain at $1 for first.class,.$3 25 to $3 50
for second-class, and $2•50 to $3 for third-
class.
LITTLE FALLS DAIRY MA.RKET,
Lerret FALLS, -June 14, 1873.
There was a 'smart shower" this week,
which moistened the surface, and helped
grass a little, but it is still very dry,
and we have not yet a flush of feed in
pastures. The complaint is general that
cows are not doing their best, and,
with whom we have conversed admit
that the yield of cheese per cow is very
light for the season. Doubtless the
-scarcity othay during the spring has, in
-
some instances, affected the yield, as the
cows, rather sparingly fed, have not
fully recuperated. The market to-claY
opened verydull, and prices are dawn
on factory by fully oc. Yhe delivery of
farm dairies is &int 800 boxes, end
peices have ranged from 10e to 13c for
coramon to fair, and. from 13.12c to 14e for
extra and fancy. The offerings from fee -
tones are estimated to reach between
6,000 and. 7,000 boxes, and the falling off
in rates frotn last week's figures has been
quite unsatisfactory to' dairymen, many
of whom reuse to sell, or have forward-
ed their goods to be sold on eammission.
The top price is 14c. We give the lead-
ing transactions as follows : Brockett's
Bridge, 131 boxes at 14o; Brockett's
Feeter, 35 at 134c, Cold 'Brook, 90 at
, 103 at 14c; Old -Fair-
; Henderson Assoeia-

7,•eil over a considerable section of the
