PRID .X, FEBRUARY 1, 1895. lit begins to look very much as if the $Qyernmeut does not intend to bold a asessiou before the general election, or .else it would announce the fact. If a session is to be held, why should the .elate be kept secret? It is generally expected that bye- -elections will be favorable tq. the gov- ernment in power, whether Provincial or Federal, but certainly it was never expected that London, Kingston or Al- goma would be returned by thejLiber- ale with such sweeping majorities as they secured. Kingston followed the ,example of London by electing the Hon, Mr. Harty by a majority of 432, and Algoma did the same by electing Mr. James Oonmee by a majority of over 200, and more to come. The County Council did a wise thing when it decided to revise its method of letting the county printing; as at p re- lent let, if a publisher is disposed to be .dishonest, he has a fine field for steal- ing. Another matter it should;r'evise also, is the way in whichlj the minutes are entered up. The:clerk is required to transcribe therm just as they come into his hands, and 'he has, in conse- qquence,moi e than three times the woe k .Mere is any necessity for, (and they a printed in' this way, too) whereas MrLanewas allowed to use his own udgmenty he could not onlysave a eat deal ofu a unnecessary e ar labor, a but 'the minutes would be more readable and easier understood. The Situation in West Huron Referring to our item of two weeks -since, that "the Liberals in West Hu- ron were at sea," the Mitchell Recorder says :-- We do not see why any party should 'feel at sea with each a candidate as D., A. Forrester in the field. Mr. Cameron bas had his day rind it is time for flim to retire. The Patrons of West Huron ---haveea, candidate in D. A. Forrester, who is well qualified to do them credit as a representative. We willingly admit ell that the Re- -.:order claims for Mr. Forrester ; but it overlooks the fact that Mr. Cameron is .also a candidate, nominated at a regu- lar convention held Marry months ago, ,and the Liberals are at sea because they oto not -]now Mr. Cameron's intentions. If Mr. Cameron decides to run the Li- berals who nominated him are pledged to his support ; if his decision is to the •contrary, then they are fret to do as they please. Decision of the Privy Council on .the Manitoba School Question. The decision of the Privy Council, in -the `matter of the Manitoba School Que.Aeon,. has just been 'made public, and it is practically to the effect that the whole question cafe 'be re -opened, • and that the Catholics may seek, either from the Manitoba Legislature or from 'the Dominion Government remedial :legislation. The decision, in fart, vir- tually says the Manitoba Legislature • had no right to abolish (Separate .S'ch'ools, and that if they refuse to make provision for the maintenance of Se- parate Schools, the Federal Govern- ment must do so. Without going into the illegality of the question, great difficulties will be '`net with in the settlement of the mat- ter. • In the first place, the settlers are widely scattered, and the ratio of 'Catholics to Protestants in the rural ..districts is very small, and to maintain ••schools for each would be burdensome, Secondly, Manitobans desire that all their schools shall be free • from de- nominational teaching, and that as far ,as possible their children taught to be 'nonsectarian. As the majority, in Mani- toba is of this opinion, we do not see how the [question is to be reversed. The following is from the Toronto News, Independent Conservative:— But that same court had previously - *declared that Manitoba was within her •constitutionitl rights in abolishing Sep- arate schools. And it is the previous declaration that is binding. The per - pie of the west have declared for the national school idea; the Privy Coun- cil decided a long time since that the West was justified, by the constitu- tion, 4n the 'ourse then taken and On- tario and the Maritime Provinces will. not allow the Government at Ottawa, Oven though it has the legal power to do so, to interfere in this matter. Each Province, so long as it violates no De - minion pretogative, has the most core - Vlete rights of self government. The people of quell Provinces are the sole judges as to the policy they should pursue. No outside authority can claim the right to control them as to heir own affairs. This fact, must be and clearly recognised by he Ot- a Government, If this is not done trouble la certain.

The many old friends here of Rev D. G. Sutherland, of Toronto, a former pastor of Rattenbury street church, will be exceedingly sorry to hear of his serious illness. He has been con- fined to his bed for the past three weeks, and last Friday eveniug his family had little hopes of his recovety. Owing to the snow blockade, Rev A. Stewart was not able to reach Galt on Saturday; the services in Willis church, conducted by Rev Dr. Dickson, on Sunday, suffered also from die storm, the attendance not being what it would have been. The doctor re an excellent speaker, and was listened to with close and appreciative attention. Divine service will be held by the Rev Wm. Stout, next Sunday, 3rd inst. in the parish of Holmesville, Middleton and Summerhill, as follows t Ho:mesville at 11 a.m., Middleton, 3 p. in.; Summerhill, 7 p.m. On account of the state of the weather and roads, no service was held in these churches last Sunday. The Bishop of Huron has appointed Rev J. F. Parke, formerly of Listowel, to the incumbency of St. Paul's, Clin- ton, vice Rev .1. I. Fairlie, resigned. Rev J. F. Parke is well known in this neighborhood, and we trust he may be successful in building up a prosperous and united congregation. • Political Affairs. The cost of the present revision of the Federal voters' list to date is $223,- 000; That represents a little over 370,- 000 bushels of wheat at sixty cents per bushel. The friends of Mr. W. G. Murdoch, of Toronto, and formerly of Bayfield, are anxious to see him nominated by the Conservative convention of Exist Toronto as candidate in the Dominion election. Robert Birmingham, Conservative organizer, is still far from well. It Is two weeks since he was in his office, and in the past ten weeks he has not been out of his house more than three or tour times. The Farmer's Sun figures that the maintenance of the Senate represents an annual cash outlay equivalent to the produce of 11,000 acres of wheat, yield- ing twenty bushels to the acre and sell- ing at sixty cents a bushel. `.Chis is a striking way of calling attention to a great waste. • A rumor comes from Nova Scotia, which looks interesting now that so many so-called independent partiee are being formed. J. A. Chipman, an ex- tensive miller and . hitherto a. promi- nent Conservative of Halifax, has call- ed together a number of prominent friends to discuss the advisability of forming a third party. According to ..the -at. Catharines Journal, " It is said that -Mr. Rykert's friends will make a big effort to secure his nomination as the Conservative candidate for Lincoln at the' coining convention. There are also rumors that Mr. Rykert, failing to secure the nomination, will enter the field as an independent, with free trade and tariff reform as his war cry." Christian Endeavor Calendar. Melees CHURCH, Feb. 3.—Advance Endeay. or, Miss C. Taylor. BAPTIST, Feb. 5.—Address by Mr Isaac Front. South Huron Liberals. • The annual meeting of. the Reform Association of South Huron as consti- tuted for Dominion purposes took place at Brucefleld an Friday. There was a fair attendance, considering the state of' the roads, which in many cases were almost impassible. Mr. A. Mustard, Brucefield, was elected president ; Jas. Snell, Hullett, vice-president•; Thomas Fraser, Brucefjeld, secretary ; George Walker, Tuckersmith, treasurer. Mr. Mustard briefly addressed the meeting. He thanked therm for the honor done him, and urged the necessi- ty of thoroughly organizing for the next election, which `night take place before another meeting. He then called on Mr. John McMillan, M.P., who was present. Mr. McMillan responded. He dealt exhaustively with the tariff, pointing out how oppressively it bear upon the farmers, and showed the immense ad- vantages that would accrue to them as a result of closer trade relations with the United States. He proved con- clusively that the Government could have obtained such relations had they really sanctioned them. He•contrasted the policies of the two parties, show- ing the extravagance of the govern= ment and the possibility of largely eco- nomizing in many directions. He in- stanced the useless expenditure in cotl- nection with the iniquitous Franchise Act, the militia, the civil service, gov- ernment house and the Senate. Mr. M. Y. McLean, M,P.P., delivered an address of some length containing many good points and suggestions, and was well received. The meeting closed with cheers for the Queen, Mr. Laurier and Mr. Mc- Millan, r -- In the Kingston bye -election for the Legislature on Monday, Hon. Wm. Harty, Commissioner of Public Works, was elec- ted by the very large majority of 432. Kingston for many years was regarded as a Conservative city. Thongb it occasion- ally returned a Liberal, not for many year% .prior to the last Dominion general election did it send a supporter of the Liberal party to the Legielature. Then, when Mr Met- calf gave up his seat in the Legislature, and was nominated for the Comrnone, the constitution returned Mr Harty. At the general election last June a dead Bet was made against the Commissioner of Public Works, and Mr Harty was unseated by a majority of one.

The 23rd annual convention of the Sab- bath School Association of the county was held in Knox church, Goderioh, on Monday and Tuesday last. Owing to the railroads being blocked the exeoutive did not know what to do, and meeting in Mr. Boott'e of - foe, Clinton, on Monday morning, they cancelled the convention and re-oonsidered tbeir determination (at the request of out- side delegates) no loss than four times, fi- nally going to Goderioh in time to hold an evening session on Monday, the president, Mr. James Scott, in the chair. The conven- tion was opened with pra;'er by Rev. J. :. Andersen, after which words of weicczn: were given by Rev. Joseph Edge and Mr. R. R. Bellows, Goierich, and replied to by Rev. Mr. Smythe and Mayor Holmes, of Clinton. The words of welcome and the replies were practical and appreciated by the delegates present. Mr. Alfred Day, Provincial S. S. Secreta- ry, gave an address on " The Sunday School Teacher's Sixth Sense." He refer - ed, at first, to the endowment by the Gres - or of five senses, by which we gained per- eption of our material environment. He tated that the sixth sense, by which we pprehended the spiritual and intellectual actors we were moulding for God and so- iety, was common sense. He world not, owever, at this time, consider the work of he 8. S. teacher from this standpoint as he t first intended, but would rather dwell pon one principal of effective teaching, ur. which might be designated the sixth sense : lloy, preparation, adaptation, co-operation, in- terrogation and application, might fitly be may considered analagous in the intelleotaal and een- spiritual realm to tine physical senses by the which,we become cognizant of the material world, and the law of illustration he would nee. designate as the sixth sense. The soul of ob- a child is a walled and fortified city which n f cannot be reached except by the avenues God himself has appointed, the keys to ton which must be possessed by the teacher rth who would gain acmes to the heart and life of the scholar. Referenoe,had already been made to the five special senses, which, ever, were not all equally sensitive alert, the eye and the ear being more e accessible than the other three for the teacher's purpose, and of these two the eye and the ear stand in much the same rela- tionship as an express and freight train ; indeed .the nerve ooneeying the special sense of sight was forty times as large ae any of the other nerves of special sense, all& the esidspa made through this me-, dium is correspondingly more vivid and abiding. -It follows then that for effective teaching 'within the limit of the Sabbath our we should use as largely as may The committee reported that they had examined the jail and found everything clean and in good order. Several repairs to county buildings were recommended, among whic:: is a new roof to the Court House. JAILER'S REPORT. There are at present 18 prisoners in j -14 males-anr- 4 females. --Two are ag and unfit for work. Of the males 1 ie co mitted for indecent assault; 1 is insane;t remaining 12 are committed for vagran for terms of from 3 to 6 months. Five them are quite unable to make a living. TREASURER'S STATEMENT. There was expended in genera] accoun $1659.46 more than was estimated, also t sure of $3187.48 on accounts of the Indu trial House, as yet unprovided for. The G.R. debentures, amounting, with interee to$21,300, wereipaid on theist of July, thu relieving the county of $2,200 yearly bu den in interest and sinking fund. $88,10 was invested in mortgagee, and $30,824 o investments previously invested refunde during the year. the total investments bein $169,496, with $10,538.79 einkrhg fund uninvested. ail ed m - he of the faculty which, though emph..eize the child, was common in some .deg` all, for we are all eye -minded people. is proof of this he instanced the case of he Jacob, whose sight of the waggons Jos s- had sent convinced him of his son's ex N. ence, when the testimony of the broth t, was doubted He referred also to the c s orete illdstrative character of the Jad r- ritual and of the teachings of Christ. 0 ferring to the concrete incarnation of tr f we teach in our own lives, he illustrated d a tender loving boy whe, going home fr g eohool on the 000asion of the lesson of s " excellent woman" said, as he embra his mother in tenderest affection, ' have been reading about you to -day, m ther." After establishing the propositi as to the yalne of concrete teaching, drew the following practical deductions 1. If the teacher is teaching through e gate and the boy ie teaching through ey gate the teacher will suffer defeat eve time, for the eye -being captured the e would be closed involuntarily. We cou not ear one thing and see another any mo than we could ride two horses going in o posits directions at the same time. 2. T teacher's eye must engage the eyes of p pile, and for this purpose must be emano pated from the slavery of lesson helps, ala and even the memorizing of the lesson to would greatly advantage the teacher. 3. W must, therefore, illustrate our lesson --1 windows into it, which will connect th truth with something the child alread knows, and is most intensely interested i whether personal or local event, or nate or story. Illustrations are various, accord ing to the age, &o., of scholars, i.e., tangi ble objects preferable to little children pictures which recall objects to mind of is termediate sohools; word pictures will im press truths on mind better than any hal statement of the truth. 4. Illustration should always be of objects most familiar, if the child sees the object a hundred times in a day the truth will likely'come back a hundred times. This was Christ's method, he using the sparrow, • lily, sowing, shep- herd, hen, &o. 5. Illustration, if on black- board or pad, should be done in presence of schools. In closinghe Said the highest va- lue would aooruo from the eoholars being in possession of a pad and jotting down with their own hand, if nothing more, 'the points in a sentence the teacher makes. The pencil will not move without brain di- rection, whilst the tongue will wag for hours, repeating litanies, creeds and golden texts without the consciousness of thdbrain, and whilst the brain climate the pencil it is impressing a duplicate copy -on the delicate fibre of the memory. The address was full of bright thonghte and was an inspiration to the large congregation present. Messrs. C. Swallow, Clinton, J. P. Roes, Exeter, and A. J. Courtice, Eolmesville, the visiting committee appointed to mullet the different schools of the county, report- ed having visited the various schools in their district with good results. Mr. D.

The committee also recommended that the next convention be held in Hensall, and that the secretary ba authorized to accept theoffer of Mr Day, General Secretary, to form local organize, ions. The report was adopted. R. R. Bellows, Goderioh, was appointed s representative to the next Provincial onvention, to be held in London next e tember. The retiring President introduced the resident -elect, D. 13. Calbick, Goderioh, ho referred to the honor of being in that osition, and hoped for greater success in he coming yea:' in Sunday School work. A conference on S. S. libraries was in- roduoed by Rev J. W. Holmes, Clinton, ho said that in the past the library had een a great factor in church and S. S. ork, but the quality of books generally and in most libraries now was not such to elevate the Christian character. The ok that enfeebles the intellect and does t compel the scholar to think, is not tit r the libraries in our Sunday School. onsiderieg the easy access to good reading Mechanics' Institutes, church literature, 0., too muoh money was spent in S. S. caries. Mr Holmes' address tcnohed on very practical subject in connection with o 8. S., and the opinions he advanced peered to be almost the unanimous feel - of the convention. One of the delegates said that Mr Holmes' marks in regard to no necessity for a B.S. rary, might apply to towns and villages, t would not apply to rural sections ere there are no public libraries. Mr Roes, Exeter, thought the beet men re produced by the heavy and solid li£- ture of former times. Mr Tom, I.P.B, said one objeot in giving ldren books was to keep them out of bad pany, and to cultivate a taste for read- , and starting from nursery tales work the heavier and more solid literature. Rev W. Smyth saidjthe great objeot tr- is to deal with the practical, not so oh the doctrinal, ae years ago. Boys love to the end. , Washington thought there was often much love, and not enough solid to d up the character the age demands. a 0 8 P w tr w b w fo as bo HO fo C in et lib th ap ing re lib bra wh we era chi corn ing up day rnu will too buil how- dae.

F. Salton addressed the conven- reer tion on "Child nature, its characteristics and claims." Every child is born with the hsavage nature of its forefathers. What e child but loves nature in one form or an- n- other. The child's nature and oharaoter e. are permanently:formed before the age of SS sixteen years.

Your committee has considered the ad- visability of erecting a barn and other out buildings, on the premises, during this summer, and we recommend as follows:— That D. Patterson, reeve of E. Wawanosh, and Jas. Girvin, deputy -reeve of W. Wawa. nosh, prepare plans and specifications for s bank barn 30x50, with stone wall under, not to exceed in cost $700, and a pig and hen house not exceeding $100 in cost, and that your committee have the power grant- ed to them to advertise for and receive tenders for the ereotion of such buildings, and award the contract for the construction thereof. Your committee further recom- mend that the farm be rented for the com- ing season, reserving about five acres around the building site, as well as the road leading thereto, and under such other restrictions as your committee may seem advisable. In reference to proposed by-iaw to authorize the appointment, payment and duties of an inspector, keeper, matron and physician, and for the superintendence, care and management of the House of In- dustry, and to prescribe rules and regula- tions for the government of the same, we would recommend that so soon as Ibis committee has completed the supervision thereof, that the same shall be printed, and the clerk circulate them among the mem• bars of this council not later than May 1st next, and that the same be finally passed at the Jane session. ROAD AND BRIDGE COMMITTEE. Recommended that the Commissioner's report be printed in the minutes. That no delegates be sent to the Good Roads Asso- ciation to be held on the 7th of Feb. The committee examined the tenders re- ceived for the following bridges, which will be erected during this year, viz., Holmes- ville Bridge, Bluevale Bridge and Bridge on the Ath line of Howick. Mr L. Hardy's tender being the lowest for 101mesvilea bridge, recommend his tender be accepted for $3750.
