County Model Schools.
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
The Turko,-Servian War. 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

—Mr. W. J. Shannon, Tot 17, con. 5,
) McKillop, has raised 40 bushels of bar-
ley to the acre upon a portion of his farm

Hay and went to the "land of the free
and home of the brave" in the State of
Missouri. He returned lately, and is
now living at Bath°, and intends spend-
ing the rest of his days in Canada. He
says farming is a verypoor business in
Missouri. After a trial of eight years,
Mr. Bean has returned a wiser, if not
a richer man, and it would be well for
our Canadian farmers to pause and think
before selling off their fine farms and go

as the mixed train south was conting out

it happen that before he had time to save
himself he went head first betw1een the

Montana territory, U.S. will be pleased to

'accident that came near proving fatal.
It seems that some of her clothing acci-
dentally caught on a shaft in a mill

about 50 revolutions before her ellothing

A Denial.
To the Editor of the Huron Expoiiitor.
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. PLUNK

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

. The Clinton Show.
The Hullett Branch Agricultural So.
ciety's show was held at Clinton on Wed.
nesday last. For the prize list and the
following particulars we are indebted to
the .New Era ;
Tuesday was very wet, thereforetbat
few farmers came to town to make en-
tries, and as the weather continuea
threatening in the evening, not many
visited the indoor department that even.
ing. 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 .
