No fewer than 109 election
protests are on the docket for
trial, 47 of them in Ontario, 35 in
Quebec, 16 in Nova Scotia, and
the other 11 in New Brunswick,
Prince Edward;Island, and Mani-
toba. In this province also 17
cross -petitions have been __filed.
There will doubtless be a number
of 'saw -offs' and of other with-
drawals, nevertheless the courts
will have their hands full. But,
after the Ottawa revelations, the
smaller scandals which election
trials bring to light will be cam-
paratively tame.
It was pointed out in the House
f Commons the other day that
he entire receipts of the Enter -
or Department from the sale of
ands, timber limits, coal mines,
• tc., last year amounted to $462,=
.22, while the expenditure was
445,521. There was thus a bal-
ance of only $16,800 to the cred-
it of Dominion lands. A gentle-
man once wrote to the treasurer
of aamissionary society: 'Enclosed
1 send you my cheque for fifty
five dollars for the Soudan Afri-
can Mission Fand—the five dol-
lars for the destitute Africans
themselves, and the fifty for ex-
penses in getting the five dollars
into their hands.'

Theamajority-report exonerates
Air:fleeter Langevin from any
knowledge whatever of the irreg-
'til•arities that took place in his de-
ifirtment. This will not relieve
the impression in the public mind
t the contrary, however.
A statement was recently made
to the effect that Premier Abbott
vvas a heavy loser by virtue of
selling his CP R stock to become

that he bas not sold his stock,
but simply transferred it to an-

America by sacking American

The charges against Dr Schultz
and his officials appears to have
narrowed down. to a case of ir-
regular book-keeping, to which
Dr Schultz pleaded guilty. It is
good to find that at least one of
the charges now so numerous is,
as far as corruption is concerned,
untrue. It was admitted on all
aides that the inquiry was not
without its value. Men who have
officially so much time on their
hands as the Lieutenant Govern-
or of Manitoba should, at least,
see that accounts are properly
kept.
Wnen Mr Flint, of Yarmouth,
suggested that the Canadian Mil-
itia force might be greatly reduc-
ed, and a large saving of public
money effected, the Denisons, and
other 'gentleman soldiers' pro-
tested that such a proposition was
moat disloyal and dangerous. But
the Kingston News, a staunch
Conservative paper, agrees with
Mr Flint, and says Canada has no
use whatever for a militia depart-
ment ; as internal disturbances
'can be put down, as the Biel Re-
bellion was, by specially organiz-
ed eerps,and that no foreign power
that we, wenld have any prospect
of -defeating is likely to invade us.

t the union meeting et the two As-

changes in the departmental regala-
tiot;p were introduced by Inspector
Tone, and the discussion that followed
was interesting and instructive. 4n
account of lack of time, the disoussion
Wee postponed till the afternoon session.
AFTERNOON 5E8 LON,
After the adoption of the report of
the general business committee, the
discussion on the proposed ghanges in
the departmental regulations was re-
sumed. The following motion by In--
speetor Tom was adopted l,‘ --"That in
the opinion of the combined Aaeogia-
tions of East and West Hitron, the
subjects of algebra and euolid should be
included in the work for public school
leaving examination."
Mr A. H. Musgrove, of Winghanl,
took up the subject of "How we are
governed." He spoke of the difficulty
of teaching this part of the history, and
suggeated that every teacher should ob-
tain a copy of a little book entitled "An
Ontario Township." The vague ans-
wers given by many of the entrance
pupils showed that this chapter had not
been taught as thoroughly as it ought
to be. He thought the best results
could be obtained by teaching, (1) The
government of the British Empire, and
(2) That in the colonies. He would
explain that the British Parliament is
composed of (1) the Sovereign; (2) the
House, of Lords, and (3) the House of
Commons. After the pupils had a
clear conception of the composition,
duties and term of office of each, he
would next lead them to see the analogy
between the British Parliament and
that of Canada. The government of
Ontario should next be explained, also
that the municipalities of Ontario, viz.,
counties, townships, cities, towns and
villages have their head offices and
governing bodies. The judiciary sys-
tem should next be taken up with the
class, beginning with the magistrate
and ending with the Privy Council of
Great Britain. He requested teachers
not to try to teach too muoh in one les-
son, but to put frequent drill on what
bad been taught. A hearty vote of
thanks was tendered by the Association
to Mr Musgrove, for bis able and in-
structive address.
Mr George Baird next gave a short
address, on "The limit table of Uniform
Examinations," suggesting some im-
portant changes, among others, that
temperance and hygiene should be
taken up with the third class by way of
talks. The address was followed by a
lively and interesting discussion, 'ia
which Messrs Brown, Roes, Delgatty
and Inspectors ;Robb and Tom took
part.
Drawing with the third class was
taken up by Miss Burritt, of Goderioh.
She exhibited a few samples of full
hand drawings, based on the figures in
the first and second part readers. She
next showed her method of teaching
the subject to a plass. She used only
figures containing straight lines. After
drawing a couple of guide lines very
lightly on the blackboard, she would
ask the pupils to draw vertical, hori-
zontal and oblique lines on their slates,
as dictated. When familiar with the
work on their slates, the pupils would
next be asked to put drawings neatly in
their books. The lesson contained some
very valuable hints to teachers.
Inspector Robb next showed his
method of teaching arithmetic to third
and fourth classes. He was of the
opinion that two things were necessary,
viz., (1) applying, and (2) rubbing it in.
He begkn. his address, by making the
Mowing propositions, viz., (1) That
the educational value of a mere problem
is almost a zero. (2) That problems
are best taught in the shape of exercises.
He was in favor of giving pupils a good
deal of practise on questions that have
been alrdady taught, giving as his rea-
son therefor, that pupils learn best by
doing. He would try to teach the pu-
pils to get correct result% He thought
that the teaching of reduction could be
simplified by using coins of different
values.
ENTER•rAIN31EzT.
In the evening a grand entertainment
was given in the Town Hall. Mr Turn-
bull, principal of the Clinton Collegiate
Institute, occupied the chair. Those
who took part ,in the program did so
exceedingly well as to reflect much
credit on the literary talent of Clinton.
Mr Manning gave a short but instruct-
ive pointed out that
ive address. II o nt d u the
teaching profession was becoming more
elevated, and if teachers would only love
it more it would soon be in advance of
all others. He lamented the fact that
only about one in every twelve take
teaching as a life profession. The re-
mainder make it a stepping atone to
some other more remunerative business.
When he considered that about two-
thirds of all the taxes we pay go to-
wards education, he thought that rate-
payers should give the subject of educa-
tion more of their attention, and try to
find opt if they were receiving value
for all this outlay of money. He
thought that the teacher's highest aim
should be to make out of the boys and
girls entrusted to his care, men and
women who would adorn society, and
make useful citizens and bring honor to
the community in which they live. He
warmly welcomed the teachers to the
town of Clinton. The dumb bell
swinging, by a elase of girie, was a very
pleasing feature of the entertainment.
The proceeds amounted to $35.

sooiationwas opened by prayer. The

'+i UNION MEETING.
Mr Lough, of Clinton, addressed the
meeting on the "Care of school proper-
ty," giving some very valuable hints.
He said, "Our first duty is to try to
prevent damage to school property by
using vigilance. The teacher should
frequentlyexamine his desks, stove and
maps. Train your pupils in habits of
carefulness, and show them that their
advancement in future life depends upon
carefulness. Lead there to See that the

ture generations will be what we make
them."
Mr Lough was very highly commend-
ed for his practical address. In the
discnesion which followed, Inspector
Robb suggested that a committee of
pupils from the senior olase be appoint-
ed to look after the school room at noon
hour. He also suggested covering win-
dows with wire gauze, to prevent panes
being broken.
Mr H. I. Strang, B. A., of Goderich,
next addressed the meeting on "En-
trance analysis and parsing." I have
learned that there is a great deal more
in this subject than I at first supposed.
I would like to have had more time
given me, so that we could fnlly disease
the subject and arrive at some common
basis. There seems to be a falling off
at examinations in analysis and pars-
ing. I know that the feeling of the
Provincial examiners is to have some
common plan. Pupils very frequently
use grammatical terms that they do
not properly understand. The great
difficulty is to get the pupils to say just,
what they mean, because we fail to im-
press them with correct ideas. Analysis
and parsing should hold a very import-
ant position in grammar. We should,
therefore, try to help our pupils to a
better understanding of the subject, and
also make it a means of mental discip-
line. I would just take up the practical
meaning of a sentence, and show the
functions of words, phrases and clauses.
Try to make sure that the pupils clearly
understand the meaning of each term
used. I would prefer using the term
"proposition" instead of "principal
clause." I would next proceed to classi-
fy sentences, (1) According to form
into assertive, interrogative and imper-
ative. (2) According to composition
into simple, componnd, complex, and
compound -complex. Very useful drill
should be given on the grammatical
values of words, phrases and clauses.
In this drill insist upon the pupils
knowing the use of each in a sentence,
and get them to have a readiness in
giving suitable examples. With the
subordinate clauses I would give a dis-
tinct word relation. I would take tip
the main clauses first, and then the
subordinate."
Mr Clarkson then gave several ex-
amples on the blackboard, showing his
method of teaching general and minute
analysis.
A hearty vote of thankg, was tendered
Mr Strang, for the able manner in
which he handled his subject.
[At the meeting of the Association a re-
porter was appoiuted,who was to supply one
paper with a report, and that paper was to
furnish proof slips to the other papers. The
NEW EIA consented to do this, and urged
that -the copy be sent -in early so that a proof
could be frwarded to t ie.othpr papers in
time for them to getltlnto typo. Part of the
copy came to hand Tuesday afternoon; part
on Wednesday afternoon. and a note saying
the balance would be forwarded yesterday—
Thursday, but the balanoehae not yet come
to hand: Our cotemporaries will, therefore
see that we are not to blame because they
have not received copy in time for publica•

ERA
THE FALL ASSIZES.
The Fall assizes for this County
opened on Monday of last week be-
fore Mr Justice Falconbridge, Mr
Ball, Q. C., of Woodstock, appeared
for the crown cases. The civil dock-
et comprised 13 cases, but the crimin-
al list contained only one assault case
and that of Begins vs. Chambers,
the man brought from Port Arthur
on a charge of burglary and attempt
to shoot constable Balmer, of Listo-
wel.
In the assault case against Joseph
Clegg, the cattle buyer of Morris,
deft. pleaded guilty, and a fine of $20
and costs was imposed. The grand
jury found two trne bills against the
man Chambers, one for shooting
Bulmer while in the discharge of his
duty as a constable, and one for a
similar assault in his individual cap-
acity. The trial was postponed un-
til the Spring assizes, and the prison-
er's counsel was advised that if bail
is desired the application must be
made in the usual form to the court
at Toronto.
Dale vs. St. •John, was an action
for slander, the parties being well,
known residents of Hullett. On
motion of Mr Holt for plff.,His Lord-
ship put off the trial until next as-
sizes, plff, to pay costs of day within
ten days after taxation. Garrow. Q.
0. and R. S. Hays for deft.
Morgan vs.Yeo.—An action for
seduction, parties to which reside in
Goderich township. Mr Campion,
Q. C. • for the deft, applied to put off
trial on account of his client's absence
but his Lordship refused the appli-
cation. On the trial of this case
deft's counsel withdrew, and after
hearing the evidence of Isabella Mor-
gan and Sarah E. Morgan the jury
returned a verdict for $600, and his
Lordship entered judgment for that
amount with full costs and Ieave to
execution at Onee.
Carter vs. Itansford et al.—An ac-
tion for construction of a deed of sep-
aration and dower. Judgment was
reserved. James Scott, Clinton, for
jiiff. ; harrow Q. 0., for deft.
Lane vs. Dungannon Driving Park
Association.—This was merely the
examination of'witneases in this now
well-known ease, as directed in the
Court of Queen's tench, for report
by his Lordship. Mr Holt for un-
accepted oirderholders ; Garrow &
Proiidfoot for aedepted'orcler -holders:
Co. the trial was postponed till next
assizes in this county, with leave to
amend pleadings, the C. P. R. to pay
costa of the day. Gomm& Proud -
foot for piff.; Ayl�esworth, Q. C., for
C. P. R. and Mr Holt for G. T. R.
Co,
Mason vs. Van et al.'—An action
for seduction. After two hours'con-
sideratien the jury returned a verdict
for $500 damages, and his Lordship
directed judgment to be entered for
that amount with full coats and leave
to issue execution therefor. Garrow
and Proudfoot for plff.; Aylesworth,
Q. C., and E. L. Dickenson for
defts.
Willis vs. Drake,—An action for
slander. The plaintiff, John Willis,
is a farmer residing near Port Albert,
and a barn belonging to him was
burned a year ago last month, with
several tons of hay and a reaper that
it contained The property was in-
sured and the plaintiff subsequently
'received from the insurance company
a portion of the amount stated by him
in his claim paper. After the fire
the defendant, Wm H. Drake, who
at the time lived on the farm across
the road from the plaintiff, told per-
sons connected with the: insurance
company among others that he bad
seen the plaintiff and his wife set the
barn on fire one night:that he was
out Iate in his field, and as soon as he
had the match applied and the flame
started he went home and got in bed
without waiting to see the progress
of the fire. It appeared that before
the fire the defendant had been before
a magistrate on a charge of stealing a
colo, of which he was acquitted; that
the plaintiff, John Willis, had been
called as a witness against him, and
that in consequence the defendant
had since had an unfriendly feeling
toward Willis, and it wi s also admitt-
ed by the defendant that he is now
under indictment charged with burn-
ing down his own barn. Verdict for
the plaintiff and $50 damages.

Mrs Wilson, a widow lady who
resides an Detriot, has had an un-
pleasant experience of her visit to
tho . Industrial. She arrived in
Toronto Wednesday night, in the
company of a man said to be nam-
ed McMurray, to whom she was to
be married. They registered at
the Walker House, and her affian-
ced lover started out to purchase a
license, it being the intention to
tie the knot that evening. When
he returned he found the lady in-
dispose'', so they decided to post-
pone the event until next morn-
ing. Daring the evening the lady
told McMurray that certain -prop-
erty on the other side in which
she bad a widow's interefc' revert-
ed to her children when she was

make matters worse Mrs Wilson
had unwittingly entrusted her
purse and valuables to Mr Mc-

Intense Suffering for 8 years— Re-
stored to Perfect health.
Few people have suffered more severely
from dyspepsia than Mr. F. A. McMahon, a
well known grocer of Staunton, Va. He says:
"Before 1878 I was in e3cellenthealth, weigh-
ing over 200 pounds. In that year an ailment
developed into acute dyspepsia, and soon I
was reduced to 102 pounds, suffering burning
sensations in the stomach,
palpitation of the heart,
nausea, and indigestion.
I could not sleep, lost all
heart in my work, had fits of melancholia, and
for days at a time I would have welcomed
death. I became morose, sullen and irritable,
and for eight years life was a burden. 1 tried
many physicians and many remedies. One day
a workman employed by me suggested that
I take Hood's
it rah a d Sufferio cured his
wife of dyspep-
ala. I did so, and before taking the whole of
a bottle I began to fool like a new man. The
terrible pains to which T had been subjected,
ceased, the palpitation of the heart subsided,
my 'stomach became easier, nausea disap-
peared, and my entire system began to
tone np. With returning w r'i -. '
strength came activity of
mind and body. Before
the fifth bottle was taken
I bad regained my former weight and natural
condition. I am today well and 1 ascribe It
to taking Hood's Sarsaparilla.'►

Paralysis Curable at last.
I have been paralyzed in the lower limbs,
tongue and eyes fertwo years;hlso memory very
ranch inipaiied,loss of muscularpower,great de-
bility, unsteady gait, accompanied by dizziness
and general derangement. I could not perform
work of any kind most of the two years. Would
frequently fall, striking upon my head, owing to
sudden complete loss of power in [my limbs and
nerves. In Sam Frnnaseo I was treated bytWe
skillful physicians of the allopathic seheol with-
out any good result whatever, I then tried one
of the best physicians in Winnipeg, and he did
me no good. I began to feel that all hope was
gone. I happened to bo passing the Histogene-
tic Medicine offices 10 the Henderson Block
Winnip° ,and seeing the sign, I thought I woulii
enquire into the system, and although I had
spent so much Walley with no good result, I re-
solved to try the new system, as my sufferings
were ivory great. I took the remedies about
two month there and continued for three weeks •
longer in Toronto, getting the same medicines at
the head office for Canada. I am radically cured„
and have resumed my business, and am able to
work all day as usual, Those boahtifnlly pre-
pared, tasteless remedies are hotter than dile-
monde or gold, and I hope all affected at I wav
will try them. They aro the only euro : nd safe ."
