He is told that En-Fiiid. will casumesall the produce he can raisel and that it will be taken at good and remunerative prices, and then the Conservative press ring the changes on all the Party tunes anent their profess- ed loyalty to Great Britain, utterly ob- livious of the fact that it would proove their loyalty to be more genuine and sinces if these same papers were to turn their efforts towards the removal of duties upr goods of English produc- tion imported into this country, and not treat her, as is now done, the same as all other fcfreign countries. They say, in effect, "we will make use of your market, but you skall not have the advantage of ours, unless you pay us tribute in the shape of duty." It is true that England can and:does consume a very large amount:of for- eign produce, but the Canadian farmer has no special privilege in her markets, for he soon learns, when he appears there, that all the world are his-urine- titors;-Produce arriving there from all countries, and the factors of distance, freight charges and cost of produttion have to be taken into his calculations when he reckons up to find out whe- ther he can compete successfully and profitably. The conditions of trade are • altogether. different in the old land to - what they. are in tire new; that there are many difficulties and prejudices to • overcome, and all militate against the interests of the producer. When all these things are taken into account, it will be found that a market near at hand is infinitely better than one far aWay ; competition would be less keen; •_ freight lower, fewer irksome obstacles and conditions presenting themselves, and in a variety of ways that need not now be mentioned, trade would be transacted with greater profit and com- fort to all concerned. The British market is not a newly - found avenue of trade; it has always existed; its doors kave always stood open, and we say by all means use it, to he fullest possible extent when we can do so to advantage; but it is only be- cause the doors of a better market for many articles thatour farmers produce are closed to us, that we are now mak- ing so much use of it as we do. It is a sort of last resort for a number of arti- cles. How much better it would be if both avenues were equally open; if the tariff walls of the United States and Canada were taken down; then we would have an almost unlimited mar- ket, right at our own doors, and if we did not find it profitable to use it, we would still have the English market to Jail back upon. • The utmost freedom of trade between „ all nations is the only true ard correct basis of national prosperity. We are not, and it is impossible to be, self -ex- istent, if we are to enjoy all the neces- sities and comforts of 'an advanced ci- vilization, being dependent upon other \ countries for some things, as they are upon us for some things •we can pro- • duce to better advantage than they can. Let us widen our trade borders, .and ' then greater prosperity will be ours. Several bye -elections come otf in a few days. The Liberals are likely to lose one or two seats that they held, but expect to gain in others, so that the general result is not likely to be altered one way or the other. •/IL le all Wrong• Geo., ¶I tbbefl1Uez In the Rank of Ottawa, has beei placed wider ar. rest in iiie own house, where lie has been lying.111 with grippe, an a eharge of defratiding the bank to the amount of ,i$7,009, Iinbbell, who la a Married ina'a Witlftw hildren, has grown up in the service of the bank from boy- hood, and was highly esteemed, as ail eilleient officer, It As understood that the cause of his fall was tkat stuinbling block of so man)* young men,,, specula- tion in socks, soon loyitqlwr owu money, he began, in the usual way, us- ing that of the hank,with the intention, no doubt, of returning it, but detection cante before be had either the means or the opportunity of doing so., Ile bore it high chameter, and there was no suspicion of him, The bank is fully secured by responsible; bondsmen, and will not lose a cent by the transaction, Great sympathy is felt for Hubbell, who is well known and generally liked.

In poirif Of fact, he having been a trusted employee of the bank for years, his offence becomes all the greater. Were he one who had been walking in the lower circles of life, it is not likely that he would have received any sympathy whatever, so that it is only because of his supposed station that he does. Society condones and encourages rascality by giving countenance to men who should be be- hind prison bars, • and this lowered standard of moral tone runs through all phasesnf life, thus being responsible for much of the wrong -doing.

He is one of the prominent agricultur- ists of the:West and an extensive cat- tle dealer ; he is an enthusiast on these matters and in addition to being a practical man is a fluent speaker." Yes, John McMillian is not only a fluent speaker, but he is one who is al- ways listened to with profit and pleas- ure, and he has two sons who, though they lack his experience, possess his - ability as speakers, and are "coming men" in the full sense of the term. Political Points. Sir Adolphe Caron, Minister of Mili- tia, denies Mr. Tarte's allegation that he received $15,000 from McGreevy ont of the contract subscriptions. It is stated in Ottawa that the House of Commons will be called for the des- patch of business on February 18th,but there does not appear to be any autho- rity for the rumor. The new Quebec Government is strengthening the hands of its oppo- nents in its Feed for the spoils of office. All provincial police have been dismis- sed, and Mr. E. N. St. Jean crown pro- secutor, has been informed his ser- vices are no longer required. Premier Abbott, by his proinotion of John Haggart, has confessed himself a blunderer, has outraged the feelings of Ontario and flouted the truest Conser- vatives in the party. It is not too much to say that never since Sir John died has the new Premier been rated as cheaply as he is now by the staunch Conservatives of Ontario. Their dis- satisfaction does not talk in public. The disgust they feel is smothered by the thought that its free expression might aid the Grits. Their dissatisfac- tion is not the less deep because it does not ruffle the surface in angry speech. —Toronto Telegram, Independent Con. Sented, in the Cabinet y one or two Men who can speak in the cotintry with conspicuous suecess, or who can come to the front in Parliament in stipport of the policy of the Administration, Mr Foster, SirJohn Thompson and Mr Tupper are quite able, te do as they have been doing, but a few More English- speaking Ministers of their papacity would be of great.advantageik to the Government. ,and add to the jon estigo (4 the party in the Province from Which they come," East Elgin Patrons of Industry have de- oided not to bring out a candidate in the forthcoming bye -elections.

Monday, if anything, be was worse than he was a few days ago. His Medical adviser has recommended him to go south for a month or six weeks, and it is probable that the advice will have to be taken. The trial of the petitien against the re- turn of Mr Charles S. Hyman, M. P. for London, came to a close on Wednesday. By agreement the seat was voided on a single charge of treating voters by an alleged agent, all the personal charges against Mr Hyman being withdrawn by the agents for the petitioner. The Ottawa correspondent of the Montreal Witness says :—It appears to have been decided by the Government that Sir Adolphe Caron will not be a Minister of the Crown when the ses- sion meets, the Government being ex- tremely anxious to avoid the formula- tion on the floor of the House of the Atery serious charges made against the Minister of Militia. It has been sup- posed that a compromise was being made by transferring Adolphe to ano- ther department where he would not come in contact so frequently with the public, but Mr. Abbott has realized lately that the presence of the unpopu- lar Minister in the Cabinet is a emu ce of:weakness to the party. What ia to be done with him exactly does not ap- pear, but, of course, the Government are not afraid of anything he can do, even if they put him out against his will." . The Globe makes this ver) serious charge :—" The agent of Mr. Cargill, the Conservative candidate in East Bruce, received the new voters' lists from Ottawa some time ago. We have this on the word of a trustworthy cor- respondent who saw the lists. Mr Tru- ax, the Liberal candidate, has made re- peated application for the lists, but has been unable to get them. It is needless to say that the Government, as the cus- todians of the lists, should exercise the strictest impartiality and not use their custody as the means of advancing the interests of one party at the expense of those of another. No one but the offi- cials ought to see the lists until they are open to every elector in the riding. We do not suppose that the picayune artifice resorted to by the Government is going to win or lose the election, but it shows the present Government in a very poor light. The Conservative St. John Sun is not disposed to be satisfied with what Pre- mier Abbott has done in the direction of reorganizing his Cabinet. The pro- motion of Haggart and the calling in of Ouirnet are not enough- to satisfy even Conservatives, much less Liberals, who have never had a high opinion of the usefulness of such Ministers as Cha - pleat', Caron, Dewdney and Carling.— Says the Sun: "While it is well to pro - Vide permanent heads to two depart- ments, the Premier must now allow himself to be persuaded that he has yet done very much in the way of reorgan- izing the Ministry. There are plenty At the convention on Moly of the Halton Liberals the following resolution was passed: That whereas Mr John Waldie has declined the unanimous nomination of this ponvention to contest this county in the interests of the Liberal party, and inas- much as the Patrons of Industry have nominated a candidate to contestthecourity for the representation of Halton in the Commons, this convention deems it inex- pedient to put a candidate in the field. The Ridgetown Standard (Conservative) joins those who cry for a Cabinet reorgan- ization at Ottawa. It says "The Cabinet iet present coutains one- or two individuals who never sibould have been given seats therein, and the quicker they go the better for botb country and party;" audit asserts that this is "the general sentiment of the country." Mournfully it voices the wail that it says the Conservatives refrain from uttering Openly when it asserts that "things have ohanged since Sir John, with his strong and lovable personality, passed away, and sticks and fossils won't do for Cabinet positions any longer.

Over 4,000 were present. Mr Laurier made a clever and exceedingly brilliant speech. He referred to the accusations against his old and valued friend of over a quarter of a century, Mr Mercier, and said frankly he could not be- lieve that the accusations against him were true. The Bain des Chaleurs Railway transaction iisust be conderoned. It could not possibly be defended, but the report of the commission had not yet been given, and even tbe partial report upon which the late Government had been dismissed did not convict Mr Mercier. It cleared him and three of his colleagues. Why, then Mr Angers had not pre -arranged the dismissal of the Government, did he not seek for a successor to him amongst those of his col- leagues who were held blameless by his own friends and the commission? He at- tacked tbe dismissal as unconstitutional, and Egad that all the acts of the present Adminstration were illegal. He had al- ready said that be could not believe Mr Mercier guilty of what was charged against him, but if he was proved to be, he, as an honest Liberal, could and would condemn him. The Conservatives could not do so, and should not do so, for they were worse than he, even if all they charged against him were true. If it unfortnnately was, he would not assist the Conservatives to retain power, but would set to work to purify and reorganize the Liberal party of Quebec. El:atonal AGENCIES.—Mr J. J. Daly, of J. J.

Se- parate motions were introduced, no- minating for the vacant clerkship, Messrs S. Ferris, W. Sturdy and J. Waftel, but two of these were with- drawn, and that selecting Mr Sturdy, was carried. Messrs A. Cantelon and J. R. Holmes were appointed auditors; the other township officers are the same as last year. Mr Sturdy will, no doubt, make an efficient and service- able clerk, and if he attends to the duties as well as the late clerk. Mr Patton, there will be no grounds for complaint. NOTES. —Mr David Cantelon intends to put a stone foundation beneath his barn. It is said thatMr Robt. Beacom, of the Oth con.s, will also put a stone foundation beneath his barn.

Amos was being hitch- ed to his cutter in his barn on Sunday afternoon, with a sudden bound it gained its freedom and started for the Main street, but before reaching it the driver was thrown out and the cutter upset. Nothing' was broken only a -shaft belonging to the cutter. NARROW ESCAPE. —Mr Samuel, Her- sey narrowly escaped from being in- stantly killed on Sunday evening. He went outside to close a shutter on the house in which he resides, and when about doing so a key -stone weighing about thirtypounds fell from the areal above the window, striking Mr Hersey on the side of the head, which knocked him almost insensible, and inflicted a very severe wound. No doubt if it had come directly in contact with his head instant death would have been the result. HE WAS CAPTURED.—On Monday morning last J. Shipway, , Wm. John- ston, and a man whose name we could not obtain, of Ailsa Craig, who were cutting wood and keeping batch in that vicinity, started out together for the woods, but did not proceed far before Johnston complained of being sick, and returned to the house, When the other two men returned they found the window had been cut open and an entrance effected. On entering the building they found that Shipway's trunk had been cut open with an axe, and all his best clothes had been taken away also a gold chain, amounting in all to about $35. On Tuesday Shipway started in pursuit, and succeeded in locating his man at a Mr Hartman's, Lake Road, Stephen. He at once secured the services of Chief Gill and had him arrested. He had not disposed of the clothes, but was wearing two pair of pants. He was committed to Goderich for trial. Presbytery of Huron - This Presbyte'ry held a regular meet ing in Seaforth on the 19th inst. Rev J. S. Henderson was appointed Moder- ator for the ensuing six months. Rev. Kenneth McLennan, M.

Londesboro, Seaforth and Egmondville were examined and attested. It was agreed to hold a conference on the State of Religion at next meeting. The report on Sab- bath Schools was read by Mr Hender- son in the absence of MilScott, the con- vener. The report was elabororately drawn out by Mr Scott, and was received with thanks and order- ed to be forwarded to the convener of Synod'sCommittee on SabbathSchools. Moderation in a call was granted to the congregations of Hullett & Londesboro. and Mt Stewart appointed to attend to this matter. Stipend promised, $800; payable half yearly in advance, with a manse.

The report shows that the membership of tlils Society is 430; con- tributions for the past year amounted to over $1,300, being over $100 advance of the preceding year.

(Continued) From the foregoing it is evident that the ideal which the teacher should set before himself itt the realization of the ideal man in the charades of his pupil. He who has studied nature's la s, that he may pre- serve his &sly by yielding obedience to those laws; who has studied himself, that he may rule self; who has studied his Own rights and the rightsofothers, that he may know and observe his .true place in society, and who has studied his relation to the great principles of moral government, that he may yield obedience to them, he, i and he only, s an edusated man, in the true sense of the term. But the question may rightly be asked, is this ideal attain- able. I have said the teacher is a public educator, and the ideal he should set before himself, as his goal, is the development of his pupils into good citizens. Now, an educator is not a mechanic; he is that and more; he is an artist. The artist is guided in all his efforts by the influence of his ideal. Not only is his ideal ever present to his mind, but he studies his own powers, slid the capabilities of the material in which he works. Be he a scalptor, he knows his tools by use; heknows his mar- ble. He knows not only the symmetry of the several parts of the foim which he is laboriously and patiently chiselling out, but he knows the effect when all are com- bined in a harmonious unity. In this lies his art. The soul -of the artist has left its impress upon the cold marble. He lives in the ideal form which his skill has produced. So is it with the true teacher, working un- der proper conditions. But the importance of the issue in the latter case is vastly in- creased by the immortal character of the material in which he works—the human soul. If the Greek sculptor immortalized himself in crumbling marble, how infinitely superior must be the immortality of char. aster interwoven in the life fibre of a human intelligence. The teacher's task, rightly estimated, is momentous. Having before his mind the ideal conception of a perfect manhood as the ultimate end of his efforts, he begins with reverent heart and careful hand, to mould the unformed human char- acter. If he be a true teacher, he knows in measure his own powers, and the power of the means he is employing. He is able, also, in some measure, to estimate the character of the material in which he is working. I am aware that I am here face to face with a vast problem. How can one estimate the influence of heredity and of social environment on human character, and how can he calculate, with any degree of certainty, the final result of such varied and complex forces? Now the principles of heredity and social environment are of no practical utility to the teaoher. In most oases he is comparatively ignorant of both, in as far as they effect his pupils. The teacher must be a seer; he must be able to estimate character, as far as evolved from an observation of its movement in the lives of his pupils as they are before him. How vast the undertaking! how much of faith, of love, of scientific process is envolved in leading a human intelligence out of darkness and chaos to intellectual light and order! No work on earth super - boa to it, but that cognate, though more subtle process of leading a human scud from spiritual darkness and chaos to heav- enly light and peace. • (TO EH CONTINUED) Usborne. limrAn BY A TREE. — Wednesday morning Fred Penwarden, aged 21 years, son of Thomas Penwarden, of Usborne, was in the woods falling a tred.
