Even an Edi- tor can wear a poverty•strickon or a richly glossed hat without having himself liable to be made a target of by any ill-mannered or brainless niuuy that may set himself up as the glass of fashion, But the whole danger 'impinged on the fact of the man unlawfully parrying a loaded revolver. And tho results would have been really serious had I been uulawfully carrying ono. For there is a moral certainty, that had I one and been aware of the assassiu•like work that went on behind my back, I should have retaliated, and I flat- ter myself that at ouch close range I could have made a hull's eye on my assailant. however, all's well that ends well, and I hope the young man willbear in mind the close call he bad from appearing in tho felon's dock charged with the most heinous offence known to the law, and act more discreetly in the fu• tura. IIe was brought before Mr. Justice McGarva the same night and fined $20 and $5 costs and his pistol confiscated to the town, pre sumably fur carrying a loaded re- volver, and he immediately left town. I was too busy that night to attend the magistrate's court and did not see the fellow then or at any time during his stay in town, and know his name only by hearsay which it would not he right to use until I have more positivo•informa tion. I am heartily grateful to the scores of friends, Tories and Gtite alike, for their congratulations on my escape.

TUE DANGER OF CARRYING LOADED PISTOLS. Thorn being a. great many au-• necessary and exaggerated rumors regarding ari attempt to'shoot me, I have thought it ndvisablo in order to allay the anxiety of my friends, to answer personal inquiries and in- quiries by mail, and to show the great danger .that arises from the illegal carrying of fire arms, to tell as tersely as may he what I know about the affair. On Tuesday shout five o'clock in the afternoon I drop- ped into the Rattenbury Iiouso, rioted for being ono of the most orderly houses in Canada. I'was there not more than three minutes and during that tiine 'spoke to no cue in the house except Mr. J. Rattenbury. My hack was to the occupants of the room when I heard a report behind me 'of what I con- sidered a toy pistol or torpedo that had been exploded. About a min- ute afterward, having received some change from Mr. Rattenbury, I went away. I did not'notiee who was in the room, though there were several persons, except stir. Moffatt of Varna, who was sitting close to the door and to whom I nodded as I was going ont. My surprise was great, therefore, while getting pap- ers ready at the office for mailing after tnir,,, to °receive calls from a •score or more of friends to congratu• late me on my escape from sudden death by a pistol shot fired at me by some Smart Alec. I treated the affair as a joke until Constable Wheatley called on me .and stated that a young man, who was a stran- gar in town, had taken deliberate aim at my hat, my head bailee in• side of the hat, and that the bullet had missed me by only a few inches, and passing on close to the head of Mr. J. Rattenbury had perforated a hole through the glass covering of a. picture about five feet beyond mo, Constable Wheatley showed me the pistol which he had taken from the alleged tried•to•be murderer, and asked me if I was prepared to lay au information against the damphool Seat..-ithenall ;...tviS.la.i.IlteAf1..gt s...,.. -This,.. of course, I was not preparers to do as from my back being to the shoot. ist, I not only had not seen him fire the pistol, but'had not seen him at all, as I did not turn around to learn the cause of the report, and the four or five other oocupauts of the room seem to have been dumb- founded at the assassin -like act dui, ing my momentary stay. How- ever, as soon as I got through my work I `visited the scene of the al- leged shooting and then learned that a miserable scamp had actually taken the liberty of firing at me in the manner I have related above." I have had to thank a protecting Providence, on several occasions previously, for diverting the leaden messengers of death from snapping tho cord that hinds me to this, the beet world I have been in yet, in spite of its in y drawbacks. "But I lift o c IC ' d that having passed safely through years of pioneering in California, Nevada and British Columbia, and in contact with an aggregation of the most reckless spirits from all parte of the world, that in the peaceful town of Clin- ton. in m`y native county, I should run the risk of losing my life at the cowardly hands of an assassin, in broad daylight, without exchanging a word with niy assailant or being aware of hie presence, though he was only nine or ten feet behind mo. I am again thankful to an all protecting Power, not only for niy own osoapo this timo but that there is a murderer leas in the world to• day. It may be said that the shooter only intended to hit my bat, but my head was in the hat, and it was an unlawful aot even to fire at my hat, and the law very properly holds the intent is proven when a man wilfully does a mur- derously unlawful act that olden• gene human life. I give the words of Judge Roeo in addressing the jury at Hemilton last week in the ease of Lottridge and Bertram, charged with murdering old man Healop near Anoaster, The men were not charged in express terms with intent to murder.

"The course trains pupils to the habit of concentration. This Is one of the most difficult pttrts•of school work - and it is very discouraginstto a leash• er to take charge of a °lase of pupils who have not been trained to concert. tate their thoughts on the subject under consideration. If the habit can he acquired early in school life, it will he an inestimable boon to teachers of the regular work. "Can it be introduced without in- creasing the number of teachers ?" is a question I have been asked. Possibly it can. I have oomQ to the conclusion that it is no longer possi- ble to keep two rooms filled with pupils in the fourth book. Our pupils haye been pushed on too rapidly, consistent with a thorough training and development of facul- ties, in order to fill up the higher rooms. '1'o move a lower clans into the 11 room conveys the impression that the pupils are promoted. Pro- motion depends on the class not the room, When pupils are placed in a lower room to go over their work again, because they have failed, there is trouble. If the Principal cons tinues to take into his room 50 or 60 pupils regardless ()Miele fitness, or of the fact that they have failed to enter on merit, the same principle must be carried out ;n the next room, and so on, to the detriment of the grading of the school, and the' •digadvantage of the teachers of the third and fourth classes at least. We must make a more, stringent ex- amination, so that our pupils may be held until older and better able to grapple with the work. Our pupils are younger than pupils in the same classes in most town schools. This is not fair to pupils, teachers of the Public school, or teachers of the Collegiate Institute. If for a year or two pupils are allowed to remain in No 1,11 division for a term after pro- motion, to the fourth, and then moved to No. I division, and after this year, there be but one examination for promotion each year, the school will soon be well graded ; and at the same time we can fit up No. II. room for a kindergarten. In, order that this plan can be carried out we must secure a teacher who can, and will teach a clans front the primary� de- partmen t each aVtfternoon. hen the higher classes ore well graded, we can again have two fourth book divisions, but can probably dispense with one of the junior divisions. This is a plan that bas been care- fully considered, and I think is practicable. Are we to lead in this country m introducing the school, or are we to follow? I would be willing to take more than my quota of pupils and lead, than to follow. The one town introduces the school the others must follow. We will collect all the in- formation possible and report later to the Board. Respectfully yours, W. R. Louuu, Principal.

We arrived at Sitncoe street at 10•25,.and at once introduced ourselves to the teacher in charge of that branch of the work. We found 28 boys and girls engaged tri singing, and going through the tnotions suitable to the different songs. The teacher was assisted by four girls who are in training tor teachers. The number of pupils on the roll is 60. There is no afternoon .session, as that time is devoted to the training of assistants. This is the order of work in all Kindergarten schools. NEWS NOTES.
