CANADA VINDICATED. The attack upon the cheese industry of Canada by the North British Agri- culturist has, thanks to the activity of the High Coriimissioner and the auth- orities at Ottawa, been so effectually rebutted that the incident may now be considered closed. When the charge that Canada was putting filled cheese on the British market was made, it was at once seen that such an allega- tion if unanswered would be a serious injury to a most important interest. It was apparent, moreover, that Cana- da was the last nation against which such an assertion could truthfully be made. If there was any fraud it must have been perpetrated, not by Cana- dians, for stringent laws were enforced here against the use of oleomargarine, but by our enterprising and sometimes unscrupulous consius to the south. The facts as now disclosel prove the accuracy of these surmises. Last week Sir Charles Tupper cabled from Eng- land the following significant mes- sage:— "The editor of the North British Agriculturist admits and regrets the gave error made in using the word Canada instead of America; retracting editorially with publication of evidence if the purity of Canadian produce in 'Wednesday's issue." Thus Canada emerges from the dis- cussion with untarnished reputation, and although it is no satisfaction to Canadians to know that the charge of frond now lies at the door of the United States producers, it is pleasing; to reflect that the result of the incr- • dent has been that the attention of the British public has been called t i the afatCt that; Canada manufactures a better 'end purer article of cheese than any other country. Deposits in the Government savings banks in Canada doting August were $314,088, and withdrawals $257,882. Tines are not so very, hard when peo- ple can plant $58,206 in one institution during one month. business was never in a Condition to. suit everyboby, Legislation don't help tete man who won't wok, or the man who prefea.'s to growl at every one else, rather than to make an honest, indus- trious et'fort himself, says an exchange, Legislation cannot prevent the daily demand for bread and butter, and the first duty of every man. is to earn that. The times always improve when all hands go to work with a will, drop grurnblieg, hunting for the bright things'oflife rather than its unpleas- ant features. According to the statutes of 1805 "every person who shall knowingly and with intent to defraud so place or arrange apples, pears, plums, peaches, nectarines, cherries, grapes, apricots, or berries, of any description whatever, in any box, elate, barrel, basket or other article as to conceal defects in size or quality in any portion of such fruit of larger size or better quality or otherwise, shall be liable on summary conviction therefor to a penalty of not less than $1 and not more than $5 and costs." The following instruction to Cana- dian shippers of apples is contained in a letter from a prorninent dealer in England. The value of the informa- tion will be appreciated when it is remembered that there is an abundant crop of apples in England which are always used before the foreign grown fruit is purchased :—"Canadian grow- ers should never under any circum- stances send their early fall apples to England. If Canadians will only send their apples here so that they arrive in good condition I feel very sure that prices if not better than last year will at least be about the same." the thenght.

SIR,—It has been said that idiots are wont to call every man a fool but them- selves. Weak minded as such people are they can not long conceal the fact that the fault is in themselves. Be this as it may it nevertheless has to be admitted that corruption does exist, and is wide -spread in Canada. Up upon the Plains of Abraham, in Chateau Fronteuac, the largest and best equipped hotel in America, there was recently assembled a Convention of Bankers. The speeches of those men were not encumbered by hypothe- tic propositions, nor overshadowed by scintillating flashes of mediaeval ora- tory ; they dealt in facts and loch ; figures and places were given in latenumbers of sternest truths. Mr. Hague proved beyond a doubt that for the last fifteen years Canada's progress has been wonderful, both as regards her banking institutions and internal development. Why has the Reform press neglected to publish this cheering intelligence? For The Nemr.Recn t. As we were leisurely wending our way along the streets of the beautiful town of Clinton .last Friday evening our attention ' was arrested by a con- stellation of lights, which • after due inquiry, proved to indicate what some- body said was a concert. Ascending the flight of your city hall and being by an usher courteously conducted to a chair we gazed a moment at ;t pro- fusion of bunting and paintings, rather unusual at local converts. However, a young gentleman produced a scheme of the evening aau•poses. Aye, a Oom• meucesnent. In. an instant memory carried us hack to "Old Vic" and the awardingof Lambskins, but that was a good ile ago and we let it rest. The, concourse was gay and brilliant, as is.ever the case when ladies patronize the work of thought and stimulate the students of deepest philosophical in- sight by joining in the investigation and emancipation of the eternal veri- ties of the universe. Solornon says, Wisdom is the principal thing. Novalis says, Philosophy can bake us no bread ; but she procures for us, God, freedom, and immortality. The students in Clinton Collegiate are well abreast of the age, both as regards efficiency and numbers. We were, we had almost said, astonished at sight of so many young people proudly ascending the steps to receive honor prizes, diplomas and certificates of, advanced scholar- ship. It was, mas•eover, yery pleasant to note that the sexes were about equally divided. It is but a little while since we visited the late Sir Daniel Wilson on the part of a young lady who wished to enter Toronto Univer- sity. He sent -her a curriculum of the necessary work but would not allow her to enter the college as a student. We have ever believed that under the banner of British Freedom, mind would be limited only by individual capabilities, and was sure to sometime achieve its own destiny irrespective of sex, and in Clinton at least that time is Now. We could not but admire the sweet, flexible, voluminous voices of the few who sang, as also the proficient piano playing. One of the players seemed to add her soul to the sounds, proving truly, that music hath charms. The fair lady that recited could soon be- come a star in any of our hest operas. Some opening remarks by the Presi- dent caused us to think a little serious- ly. For several years throughout the High Schools of Ontario, both teachers and pupils have been literally mocked, nay, insulted by the character of ex- amination papers. Were the questions determined by the given curriculum all right, but abstruce deduction is quite a different thing. We know the spirit and are well aware that those paper fixers feel dreadfully hurt if any pupil should as they say, "floor the whole paper." Therefore, let teachers scan the papers, and what is at all occult and outside the lessonsof the semestre work, draw their pen through it and send the result to the judges.—Com. The Globe lately said : "The prospect of good crops gives the Tories a heart of grace." This is :to say in plain language that a famine would happily Reformers. Here, then, we have the secret out, that for the sake of party Reformers would star ve all our farmers, and niake beggars of the rest of the people, yet they claim to he the friends of the farmer. Their leader, Mr. Laurier, is doubtless an honorable man; so Antony said Brutus was; the dif- ference, being that the Roman wanted to get Ceusar nut and the Frenchman wants to get himself in. As Brutus used his waster to effect his purpose, so would Laurier and his followers de- stroy Canada and blot its name from the inap of nations if thereby they could be returned to power. That arch -traitor, Oxford's rejected corncrake, G. Smith, is quite a florid writer, and in his characteristic left- handed truthfulness, descants broadly upon the friendliness of the United States in regard to Canada) Well does Smith know that that republic's love to our country is exactly the same as a wolf has for a lamb. He tells us that San Domingo threw herself into the lap of the United States, and was thrown back again, and that nearly the same may be said of Newfoundland. And so that literary crank would feign deers it right for any Island or Province to change owners at Will, and that Bobbie may sell his father's horse with- out asking the old man's permission. A serious break occurs in the Yankee Canal at Sault de Sainte Marie, Michi- gan ; our perfidious Reform papers re- ported the break to be on this side, and at once began to charge our rulers with stupidity and incompetence, thus an injury to Canada gives heart of grace to the party ot purity, the patriotic Reformers. We now understand wherein corrup- tion and bribery consists, one word gives the explanation and that word is TREASON. Suppose in this behalf Reformers could obtain their^ wish and give aur country to the United States ? True, they repudiate the implication and deny the charge, but under press- ure they admit that they prefer an- nexation rather than continue under Tory rule, adding that there must be a change and that yery soon, as the farmers are already taxed beyond the point of endurance and that the whole Dominion is nn the verge of ruin. This in the face of the most cheering crop and bank reports of any country on earth. Corruption and bribery con- sist in spreading evil and lying reports of Canada. Had Reformers their wish and were annexation peaceably effected—which it never will he—what would our pure politicians do ? Could they join in the 4th of July celebration and boast of their freedom from. English tyranny? George 1II is not on the throne now; could Reformers call Victoria a heart- less tyrant? What evil hath she done? If Canada is absorbed by the United States, besides her name and memory being extinguishedl we shall become a stench and a stink in the nostrils of all the earth. W are now a star of the flrst magnitude in the vast constellaa. tion of countries comprising the world's greatest Empire and shall we sink our reputation and national, honor and crawl into bed with Texas ? Perish Sunday School Institute. REV. JOHN M'EWAN TALKS TO CLIN- TONIANS. On Wednesday afternoon of last week the Rey. John McEwan, of To- ronto, secretary of Normal Depart- ment of Sabbath School Association of Ontario, addressed quite a gather- ing of Sunday school workers in On- tario Street Methodist Church. The line of his remarks was upon Effici- ency. How to attain it. How it modifies the Sunday School and how it should be the constant airn of the teacher to improve with each lesson taught. Many practical hints were Iiven in his remarks. He said that the nternational Lessons had been of wond- rous benefit in breaking down preju- dices, distinctions, etc., and uniting the great church of God more closely. In the evening he spoke on "A Bird's eye view ot the Bible." This he illustrated by a large chart which he had hung up before the audience. The audience was much larger, than in the afternoon and everybody was there to listen and learn. Mr. McEwan has a very agreeable way of present- ing a subject, and besides he knows his subject thoroughly. This accounts for the impression his words have on the hearers. He said we ;an impress a truth much more deeply through the eye than through the ear as a medium, the optic nerve being forty times as large as the nerve of the ear and therefore capable of receiving and transmitting forty times the impres- sion. On Thursday afternoon and evening the Institute was held in the Baptist church. The subject for the after- noon's remarks was "Christ Jesus the ideal teacher." He is the standard of excellence in spirit and method as a teacher. Some of the necessities in a teacher are, "They must be horn again." This is necessary, for how ran the blind lead the blind ? They must have a course of preparation. They roust have the opportunity. Then comes the work itself. He spoke of Christ's preparation for his work un- der the following topics: He was born, grew in body, grew in mind, in ex- perience, in knowledge and in wisdom. He displayed the following character- istics as a teacher: He was humble, unselfish, trustful and sympathetic. In the evening a large audience lis- tened to his last address. It was upon "A bird's eye view of the life of Christ." This he illustrated by a large chart. The teacher needs to get a better ac- quaintance with the life of Christ. Study His habits, His conduct under different circwnstances, etc. This con- cluded a series of most instructive ses- sions. All who availed themselves of the opportunity to hear Mr. McEwan will certainly not regret it. Varna. New STORE.—Mr. W. F. Keyes has opened a new furniture store here ':and will no doubt be liberally patronized by the general public of this section. Mr. Keyed is thoroughly reliable and we predict will prove a, progressive business man. May success attend his efforts.

A friend advised me to take Hood's Sarsaparilla and I began to use it, together with Hood's Pills. I have real- ized more benefit from these medicines than from anything else' haveever taken.

Iluron Fall Assize Court. The fall assizes for the trial ofury cases was opened by Mr. Justice Rose at Goderich on Tuesday, last week. George W. Wells, 4 ' C., appeared to conduct the crown business, but there was not a single case, excepting a charge of attempt at rape against one Wm. Thompson, on which the grand jury returned "no hill." The following were sworn in as the grand jury. Peter McKay, Tuckers inith, foreman; John C. Baldwin, Ashfield ; Jas. Clark, Stephen ; Archibald Ferguson, McKil- lop ; Jarnes McClure, Colborne ; Joseph Oster, Grey ; Samuel Walters, and G. A. Cooper, Goderich ; Alex. Duncan, Ushorne; Robert Harding, Howick;Geo. C. Naylor, Wawanosh ; Geo. Parker, Goderich. In addressing the grand jury His Lordship took occasion to speak in praiseworthy terms of the present con- dition of the court house, which he found much improved since his former visit here. He referred to the erection of the house of industry as a testimony to the humanity and high intelligence of the people of this county. Hereto- fore a question of dollars and cents was allowed to obstruct this high and boun- den duty, and those who had educated public thought and action up to the completion of this very desirable insti- tute were deserving of all praise for their efforts. Ratz vs. Hall et al, was an action for judgment on further directions. The maser at Goderich was directed to tax and allow to the plaintiff and defen- dants, Kellerman and Ratz, their costs, the latter to pay these costs out of moneys that may be found in their hands and to pay over the balance in their hands to plff. Ratz, and to be then fatly discharged from their trust as executors of the late Gideon Yager. R. H. Collins for plff ; Garrow Q. C., for defts. Richardson vs. Gonrlay, an action for breach of contract to cut timber. and for slander rising out of a dispute between the parties. Eleven witnesses were sworn for the plff. and four for the defence, and certain questions were submitted to the jury, which they an- swered, giving p117. a verdict of $10 and costs on the slander action, and $188 in the account. His lordship directed that judgment be entered for plff. for $198 and costs, and dismissed deft's counter claim. Cameron, Q. C., and E. N. Lewis for plff ; Garrow & Proud - for deft. Patton vs, Denman, an action to es- tablish a bouudary line between the parties, who reside in Morris township. The jury was dispensed with. and his lordship dismissed the action with costs: Garrow & Proudfoot for plff ; sworth, Q. C., and E. L. Dicken- son for deft. Martindale vs. Copp, an action for moneys overpaid on the shipment of hay. Jury dispensed with, and his lordship gave judgment for pl1f. for $544.65, and interest from March 8, 1895. Garrow, Q. C., and R. S. Hays for plff ; J. M. Best for deft. Beacom et al vs. Dyggert Bros. This was an action for fraudulent misrepre- sentation in the sale of a horse, and it excited a great degree of interest, the plaintiffs numbering 15, besides their witnesses. The animal in question was a trotting stallion named Roseland 17,784, which the clefts., who are resi- dents of Springville, N. T., sold to John Beacom and 14 others for $1600, in shares of $100 each. It is claimed for the plffs. that the horse was small in size, and not an animal that would have been selected, but for the breed- ing claimed for him by defts, and an alleged record of 2.30e, which plffs. claim was never really made, the horse's best time being 2.59. The case began Thursday at 4 o'clock and lasted u ntil Friday evening. Verdict for defts. with costs. Cameron, Holt & Holmes for plffs. Garrow, Q. C., and E. Sydney Smith, Q. C. for defts. McLarty vs. Smith was postponed until next Court. Scott vs. Pike was an action to re- cover damages for alleged arrest and defamation of character. The case was settled by dft. for $100 and costs. Meredith, Cameron, Jutld & Drumgole for Off • Garrow & Proudfoot for deft. The Grand Jury's presentment- re- ported five persons in jail—four males and one female, three of whom are in- sane, and awaiting removal to the asylum. The jail and court house they reported clean and well kept, and ex- pressed their pleasure at the near com- pletion of the house of refuge. - Ont of a piece of land about 80 feat square John Gill, of Exeter, has taken over 22 bushels of potatoes.
