In a recent article, the Globe probably foreshhdowing the views and consequent action of the Education Department, re- cognizes the fact that the public school education of the country is almost en- tirely in the hands of third class teachers. We are glad to see light dawning in that quarter. But the fact adiiiitted is .just what the examination of teachers for the last five years has resulted in. Three ways of dealing with the Matter are pro- posed ; Teachers' Institutes, additional Normal Schools, and County Model Schools. The last was suggested by the late Thomas Jaffray Robertson, of the To- ronto Normal School, more than twenty- ve years ago. The benefit likely to result from it will be apparent, but the expense will be a serious obstacle. Sooner or later another Normal School in the west is in- evitable. Teachers' Institutes are good enough in their way—the right thing in fact; but -their action at best, must of necessity fall far short of the object pro- posed. The Presidential Election, In addition to the Centennial our neigh- bors to the south of us have on hand this year the great four year race for the Presidency. As the 4th of November approaches, the excitement andturmoil consequent on choosing a ,successor to Gen. Grant are increasingly intensified, . The Democratic party demoralized and disorganized by the .war and consequent- ly shut out from emolument and power, have again reorganizecranct are making a , desperate effort to place their candidate in the White House. • The corruption _ and fraud which have latterly prevailed among Republican officials and leaders have given them an opportunity they have have not been slow to improve, to alien- ate the mass of the people from adhesion to that party. How far they have sue- ceeded will very shortly be apparent:, The State elections about to take place in Ohio and Indiana will pretty surely decide the greater .election. Should these States go Democratic, the defeat of the Republican party is morally' certain, and the Democrats with Tilden and Hendricks at their head will sway the destinies of the Union for the next four years at least.

P i To those familiar .with tho traditional c policy of Russia, respecting what is ; technically- known in European politics as the "Eastern Question," the Czar's autograph letter to the Emperor of Aus- tria need excite no surprise. The auda- city and unscrupulousness of the pro- • posals contained in it are characteristi- cally Russian. The Czar will take pos- session of Bulgaria in the East, and Francis Joseph of Bosnia and Herzego- vina in the West, while Servia, occupy- ing a middle position between, will have her independence; but were this pro- gramme to be carried out, the former potentate would assuredly make it his business to see that the independence of - Servia would be modelled after the Rus- sian pattern, and not in accordance with • Servian patriotic • aspirations, Turkey would thus at one, stroke kse all her territory from the Danube to the Balkan Range, and from the Black Sea te the Adriatic. Whether the other "Great Powers" have moral power enough to prevent such a high-handed scheme of spoliation and aggrandizement as this, in the event of Austria, becoming a party to it, the future will show. But should Austria refuse, which is quite likely, what then? Why, nothing is simpler than that Russia should march her army over the Danube, and occupy the long. coveted territory. Another step and she would seize the Dardanelles, and thus become mistress of the Mediterranean. It is not at all improbable that the pro- - posal made in the letter of the Czar, was made in the confident . expectation of Austria's refusal, as simply the prelude to the Russian occupation of Bulgaria. The war is undoubtedly, to a very largo extent, the result of Russian intrigue, as well as of Turkish misrule. Russian volunteers are daily flocking to the Ser- vian army, and from tbe beginning khe Servian troops were commanded by Rus- sian officers; Russian arms and ammuni- tion are abundantly supplied, ' while • Russian money is freely contributed. In the late battles, which are reported to have resulted disastrously to Servia, no fewer than thirty Russian officers have been reported killed, It would really CAR PROP LLED han two mo ths a ropelled by compr aisley, Scotland. essfully in every e veather, running i or each charge of one cent per mile; a surplus of air is 1 CRANBERRIES.— Northwestern says; being gather d fro the city are the la this vicinity.

SIR: I never interfered with any Gov- ernment Inspector respecting the Bay- field harbor works, as your correspond- ent, "Incognito' " states ; ncr did the Government askfor a copy of a by-law. If so I would have been glad to have fur nished it. Nor did I misrepresent either the efficiency or progress of the works on said harbdr. Neither Dr. Woods nor any other member of Stanley Council has ever voted township money or the payment of Division Court sittings, ex- cept for those held in the said township. The people of Stanley can judge of the excellent Council they have this year, from the fact that not a grievance can be raked up against any of them founded on truthfulness, though the efforts_are most strenuous. I may have become iinpop- ular with such men as "Incognito." And am glad of it, as it is impossible to se- cure the respect of such without losing self respect. W151.

The Zurich -Show. The annual Fall exhibition of theiHay Branch Agricultural Society was held at Zurich on Tueaday and Wednesdayi last. On the first day the weather was ; very unfavorable and disagreeable, being wet and showery all day. In consequence of this the show in the inside departMent was not so good as it would have ;been under more favorable circumstances. Last year many exhibitors had some of their articles badly damaged by rain, and fearing a similar fate again this year, did not bring forward many things intended for exhibition. The arti- cles were shown in the new hall, erected by the Society this season. It is a neat little structure, and when finish- ed will be a credit to the Society. 4t is p altogether unneeessary to attempt a w general description of the inside depart- T ment, suffice it to say, that altheugh 2 limited in quantity, the quality of S HORTICULTURAL PRODUCTS. — Collec- tion of apples, lst Wm.

Wednesday morning opened ftne, and notwithstanding the roads were in a -muddy condition, there was large gathering from the country, not less than from three to four thousand people. The entries, taken as a whole, were not u numerous as on some former oecasions, which may be easily accounted for; but the quality of, we may say, everything - Was fully up to a.nyformer. year. Messrs. II. Snell & Son, and M. McTaggsse allowed their line herds of shorthorns, - and there were several splendid grade animals. In sheep and swine the show was good, but rather • few in number, Horseflesh appears to attract the most attention, and the desire to excel in this line of stock raising is plainly evidentby the large number of entries and the pride Shown in their exhibition. The show of buggy and team horses was large and ne, showing much improvement and he bestowal of that amount of labor and atteution this noble quadruped requires to bring it to perfection. The entries of buggies, carriages, &c., were respectable n number and were of superior work- anship. Messrs. McTaggart & showed two of their splendid fanning' tiling. Mr. W. H. Cooper exhibited a number of well.wrought pieces of marble work. The manufacturers of reaping and mowing machines embraced the op- portunity of showing several; -though' there were no prizes offered for them. The entries of poultry were not nutnerous, though there were some few coops of splendid birds. The following is the prize . list: HORSES— HEAVY DRAUGHT. — Brood mare, lst F. McEwan, 2d H. Ford.
