The annuat convention of the Ontario
Sunday School Aseocietion began in Ot-
time on Tuesday. The attendance -is large
and the gathering is of the most represent-
ative and important character. Most of the
thae up ea 5 o'clock was occupied by reports
from officers of county and city associetions.
These report!, chiefly oral, were very en-
couraging. The chairman stated that 30
reports had been made during the after
'-
noon at greater number than ever present-
ed before.
The report of the executive says: Duri
ing the year just closed 67 nevi organizations
have been conetituted ; six distrects, viz:
Thunder Bey, Algoma. Maniteulia, Nipis-
sing, Parry *Sound, East and Wed ten
tiouatiee, viz : Eesex,South Hattingtelient,
Lennox and Addington, Lincoln, Prescott,
Russell, North Sitncoe, Wentworth and an
additionel organization resulting from
the separation of Middlesex and Lamb -
ton. Since the separation of the lest -
mentioned counties, each is manifest-
ing a life and vier scarcely poesible
to the united organization, each convention
the other they constituting definite machin-
- ery for the., complete local organization of its
whole territory. Forty-eight township, one
city (St Catharines) and two towns have
also been newly organized and have held
-conventions. Three counties, Victoria, Grey
and Bruce, have made no returns of any
kind for three years. The result of com-
bined effort in the matter of organizatien is
the record of ten banner counties completely
organized, as against two in the previous
year; in addition to which 36 counties and
districts are partially organized, as against
28 in 1890, thus making 46 counties and clis-
tricts entirely or pracitically organized out
of a eotal of 51.
The Manitoba, School Act Was
Declared Unconstitutional.
A deepatch from Ottawa says that the
Manitoba School Act of 1890 was on Wed-
nesday declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court of Caned^. The aet was
paned in 1890 by Hon. Joseph Martin as
Attorney General in the Greenway Admin-
istration. In effect it .abalished Separate
Scheele by making everybody, whether
Rcnnau Catholic or Protestant, liable to
Publie School assessment. In pursuance of
this the City of Wianipeg passed by-laws
enforcing the aesessment. Againat this as-
sessment a Roman Catholic ratepayer
named Barrett appealed. The case came up
before Mr. Justice Killam and he sustained
the bydavra. From this decision an appeal
was made to the Court of Qaeen'e Bench of
Manitoba and Judge Billant's decision was
upheld, Judge Dubuc damenting. This was
on February let, 1891. An appeal wee then
taken ostensibly by Barrett, but realty by
the Dominion Government, to the Supreme
Court, and decision has now been made
reversing the judgments of the other Courts.
The case will likely now be taken to the
Imperial Privy Council.

A Wonderful Surgical Operation.
Can you think of an operation that would
create a mind ? Can you conceive of the
meaning to humanity of a, discovery that
would trenfortn a congenitel imbecile into a
rational being? Such an operation was
the one I was privileged to see
-
The patient was a child about one year
old. Of good parentage and of healthy
bodily growth, aside from the fact that its
skull wail that of a new-boritchild, and it
had hardened and salidified into that shape
and size. The "soft spot" we's not there,
and the sutures and seams of the skull had
grown fast and solid, so that the brain with-
in was cramped and compressed by its un-
yielding bony covering.
The body could grow—did grow—but the
poor little compressed brain, the director of
the iatelligent and voluntary actions cif the
body was kept at its first estate. Even
worsethan this, ite struggle with its bony
cage made re preesure which caused distor-
tion and aimless or unmeaning movement.
The arm and leg turned in, in that helplees
pathetic way that tells of imbecility. In
short, the baby was a physically, healthy
imbecile—the most pathetic object on thief
sed earth. Upon examination, the surgeon,
a gentle, sweet -natured man, whose en-
thuaiestn for his profession—for the relief of
suffering—makes hini the object of devotion
of many to whorn he has given life and
health, and the inspirer and final appeal: for
many a. brother practitioner, discovered
what he believed to be the trouble. Led by
that treat uncommon of all things, common
sense, he believed that this little victim of
nature's mistake might be, changed from a
condition far worse than death to one of
comfort for itself, and to those who now
looked upon it only in anguish of soul.
After explaining to the parents and
the surgeons who had come to witness the
wonderful experiment (for, after all, at this
stage it was but an experiment based upon
common-sense) that it might fail; after a
needed and siniple statement of his reason
for underta,king so dangerous an operation,
with no precedent before him ; after explain-
ing that the parents fully understood that
not to- try it meant hopeless idiocy, and
that the trial might mean death—he began
the work. I wilt try to tell what it was in
language that is not scientific, and may seem
to those aceuetomed to surgical terms inade-
quate and unlearned ; but to those who are
not technical medical students I believe the
lese technical language will be far clearer.
The child's skull WWI laid bare in front.
Two tracks were cut from a little above the
y
beset (or top) of the nose up, and over to
the hack of the head. One of these traoks
was ent Ott each side, the surgeon explained,
immense it would give equal expansion to the
side* of the brain, and because it would
cause death to cut through the middle of the
dap of the head, where lies "the superior
longitudival gnus." He left, therefore, the
solid track of bone through the middle, and
cat two grooves or tracks of bone, one on
either aide, where nature (when elle does
not make a mistake) leaves soft or yielding
edges, by means of which the normal skull
expands to fit the needs of the brain within.
The trench made displaced or cut away
onetquarter of an inch of solid bone all the
way from near the bete of the nose to the
beak of fhe head. In the middle of
top, of the head on each side a cross-
wise cut,was made, 'and one inch of bone
divided. Another cut was made on either
side, 'hinting towards the ears. This was
one and s, half inches long. The surgeon
then tenderly inserted his forefingers, press-
ed the internal mass loose from the bones
where it adhered, and pushed the bones
wider apart. This process widened the
treeches to une inch.
The wound was now dressed with the
woriderfully effective new aseptic*, and the
flesh and sidle closed over. The operator
bath taken an hoar and a half. There was
little bleeding. The baby was, of course,
uncenscious during the entire time. Oh,
the blessings of anesthetics! And now
comes the wonderful result of this bold
and radical but tender and humane opera-
tion,.
The baby rallied well. In three days it
showed improved intelligence. In eight
days this improvementewee. marked. From
a creature that sat listless, deformed, and
unmindful of ell about it, it began to "take
notice," like other children. From an
it hed been transformed into a "he." It
had; been given personality. It ate and slept
fairly wee.
Oa the tenth day the wound as exposed
and dressed. It had healed, or "milted by
first intention," as the doctors -set, ; and
again one can bat exclaim, Oh, those mon-
derfal aseptic drestings ! It had united
without Ruppuration. It was i clean wound,
cleaely healing.
One tnonth after the operation the feet
and hands had been straightened out, and
lost their jerky, aimless movements. The
child is now a child. It acts and thinks
like ether children, laughs and cooes and
makes glad the hearts of those who love it.

mediuni, 8e- to 9c; inferior and bulls, 5 to 8c. The
foregoing is calculated at 34.80 in the £. The bottom
dropped entirely out of the sheep merket, and trade
was simply ruinous.
Moa-razAb, October 27.—Trade was very unsatisfac-
tory, and there has been a break in the prices of
cattle and hogs which causes considerable anxiety
among the drovers. A few heead of the best cattle
wee sold at 40 per lb. but they were better than
useal, while pretty good sold at from 31c to 3ec

The trade in lambs Is dulFand weak, prices having
dropped 60e per head. Good lambs fetch only about
$3.50 each. Export sheep are not wanted. Hoge—
The only hogs finding sale at all ira good, straight
fat, and these are selling as Iow as from $3.50W 84.20,
weighed off care. A few half -fat and stores offered,
butedid not get a bid. An odd small Jot of heavy
eough feedefeWas taken at $3 to 83.30 per cwt. The
market is over -supplied, because farmers are push-
ing off ell stuff they do not intend to put into the
fatting pens.
—Mr. William Warnock, of Goderich,
has broken the record for large squesh.
fferetefore the heaviest was shown in New
York State, weighing 306 pounds, but Mr.

in circumference and 2 feet 9 inches in dia-
meter.
