A rumor is in circulation that Mr. Mows may succeed Mr. Blake as leader of th Dominion Opposition. More unlikely thing than this has happened', and the party coal easy make a much worse choice, liut it i hardly likely that Mr. Mowat will give up oertainty for an uncertainty. ANY one who has occasion to drive through the country while statute labor is being per formed, must be convinced of the fact the it is a very unsatisfactory way to.perfor road work, and in a great many instances i done in the most shiftless manner, It wool be much better to levy a tax for it, and have it performed by contract, The Toronto News, alluding to the ofr. eumetance that Blake having retired from the leader®hip of the Liberal party, says none of the other prominent politicians ate fit or desirable for the position, and the party is, therefore, without au efficient --head.

The childre should be trained in the Sunday school s - as to come into the church able. to take par in the service. In order to get our ids t book every school should have a committe m to look after the matter. The object ghoul s be in all our singing to instil some spfritua thought. And grand reenits follow the sing d Ing from the heart. The topic was spoke e to by Rev. J. S.- Coolie, T. C. Pickard, Rev E. S. Rupert, D. D. Wilson, Rev. Frizzele J. C. Stevenson, the one point especial) endorsed was to stand by the good standar hymn. The President elect Mr. D. D. Wilson, o Seaforth, was called to the chair and in ap propriaie words accepted his honored posi- tion and thanked the delegates for the con fidence imposed. Conference on S. S. tem perance work was in absence of Rev, J. E. Howell, M. A., Seaforth, introduced by Mr. D. D. Wilsoff. Intemperance is the greater enemy of our school scholars. Nothing but total abstinence will sleet the case, and as the have the formation time we. want to raise up an army that know nothing of the taste of lisuor. Every school should be made a temperance society, and there ask God to help and bless that society. We want to train up a child the way lie should go, and then go the way ourselves and follow our text book, the Bible. Under the head of new business, it was ,moved by Rev, J. H, Simpson, sec., by T. C. Pickard, that we adopt the recommendation of the prior association in the formation of local or township conventions throughout the county, and that the county secretary select one delegate from each township 'or municipality to convene a convention. "Primary Class Conference." The paper on primary class work by Mrs G A Chrysler, Galt, was read by Mr Israel Taylor, of Clin- ton, which contained some valuable sugges. tions to primary class teachers, "Hints_ fypd FAxamples."-Miss Acheson read a very interesting and instructive paper on primary class work. Have order as the first element of success, comutencing with the teacher; teach the children that the order of the school depends on each of them. Repeat before closing school the " Lord's Prayer," thus giving them something to do. Be thoroughly prepared, Do not teach every- thing im the lesson; take something out of it specially adapted to their young minds. The privilege as well as the responsibility of the primary plass teacher is very great, as the mind of the child is very .susceptible to the truth and the reward will be great, when the work is done. Miss Parsons, sp0aking on the same sub. ject, Said, some children are restless, Give them something to do; take up the collec- tion ; count number in school, &o.

Resolved, that this convention desires to place upon record its appreciation) of the past services of the retiring president, Rev W Johnson, and the assurance of itsprayers and good wishes for his future welfare, and the prosperity of the cause to which he has so earnestly and faithfully devoted his life. Resolved, +that the thanks of this conyen. tion are hereby heartily tendered to the various Goderich churches for services ren- dered ; to the friends for their kind hospital- ity ; and to all thoselwho have contributed to the success of these meetings; the local com- mittee and speakers, and the various choirs of the town. Report from, committee on nominations was read by Mr Houston, Hensall, as follows: Your committee on nomination regret that Mr Geo Stiven, Goderich, declined office of minute secretary. We therefore beg leave to nominate Mr Israel Taylor, Clinton, to the said position. Carried unanimously. The question of whether it was best to have more than one teacher in the primary department was briefly discussed by the president, R W McKenzie and Jas Mitchell, the speakers all agreeing that the matter shouldbe left entirely tolocal circumstances, The president then announced the topic fo�diecuaSion to be, "How shall the church best develop a missionary spirit in the Sun- day school ? Should the church support the school financially, and the school devote its funds to missionary purposes?" The Rev G R Turk lead the affirmative in a five minute speech. He said be thought lie had the best side of the question, and that the minds of the people were already made up. He pointed out that all other religious schemes were local, Christianity alone was for.the world. The Sunday school was one of the great factors of the church, and the question was, how can we get the greatest good from the Sunday school. He thought it was time we began a new system, and have the church support and the school, and the school devote its entire funds for missions alone. For the negative, the Rev.! H Frizzell i took the place of the Rev G F Salton. He was at a loss to know whether the question was to be debated and a decision arrived at, or if it was only to be discussed, lie thought the wording was not t7efinite enough for a debate, that the subject was the most im-- t portant one that had come up before the t convention, and was the great problem for the Christian church to solve. To the first P of the question, how shall the church best develop a missionary spirit, fif the Sum. 0 day school, he thought the church must have fi he missionary fire within itself fret. He a P out the number of young Iden ready s o go to the field, if the church could only a end them. Education is required. Every t fficer of the Sunday school should be a mis. f ionary. He thought the Sunday school grip. orting itself, cherished a spirit ofindepend- a nee and infused life and energy. t A H Stanning,Clinton,was the next speaker t or the h,fiirmatiye, and handled the subject e well and exhaustively until the president rang he bell. As to the wording of the matter or discussion, he said if there was any fault o be found, it might be from the fact that hree or four ministers worded the subject hemsolves, As to the first part' of the quer- P on, he thought it was not encouraging a in spirit or self-sacrifice for them L o Collect money for Sunday sebool papers nd other requirements for which they were • of o have a full return again, but the church Q all supply all those things necessary for ho working .of the School, as it was not now oked npon, as in days gone by, as a separate C nStitution, and very often with antagonism. ne He referred to the power of the Sunday be hoot in missions, and gave the testimony ae learned divines and figures to show that of here the Sunday Schools increase the lie anding armies decrease. The great mission th roblem was not to be solved unless it was Sal y the children. He referred for example re the power the children fiad with the High tb -less $840 from various sources. ' Illi.

The jurors for our Lady the Queen beg I to present that in conformity with' the usual custom of grand jurors, they have examined the jail and find the same and all is apartments clean and in good order. The prisoners consist of the following: Eight males and two females. Four of the males are insane; one a vagrant 86 years of age; one is under sentence for attempting suicide; one for fraud awaiting trial ; and one for horse stealing also awaiting trial. Of the we females one is insane, perfectly harm- ers; the other is a vagrant under sentence. Four of the insane prisoners have been re- ported upon to the Government ; the fifth see is under examination, ZVI regret to nd that no poor (louse, or �11ace better dapted for the destitute and the poor than jail, can be supplied by a county so wealthy s Huron.

Mr, Samuel Trott, of Seaforth, whose boiler exploded a few weeks ago, demolishing a portion of his cooperage building, has again got rigged up and his establishment is once morelin working order. Last Saturday evening John MoCutcbeon's barn, in Gray, stable,"sheds and all that was in them were destroyed by fire. The barn was 40X60 feet, S calves, several pigs and all his fowl were also consumed. The cause of the fire is a great mystery. Mr McCutehoon was sway from home -at the. time.
