number of young people from can's., 14

times, when they left for then' respec-

STATUTE LaBOR.-A. resident of this
township asks what provision the
Ontarinalunicipal Lews make for the
performance of statute labor at a par-
ticul ir time of the year, some people
affirming that it is compulsory to per-
form the work during the streamer
months. This is incorrect. The
Catario Statutes simply provide for
the polorm tnce of statuteltboroinder
the direction' and control of, municipal
councils, and doe: not stipulate -that
the work shall begone at any malice
lar time of the year. A menicip d
council can, by by -last, provide fur . a
commutation of statute labile, or
can, in tbe same way, proeide that the
work can be dune i the winter time if
desirable. %here is nothing, therefore,
to prevent any council,which wishes to
do so, changing the tune at which the
work shall be done.

lough spent a ample of months in the
west this year, visiting :different sec -
dons, and admits that in many reit-
peas it is a fine country, but he prefers

from the section in which he has so
long resided, he will be missed, as he is
a tip top fellow.

October 10zh, includes • the 33rd Regi-
ment. On Monday the ofdcers of the
Company met at Goderitilit to complete
arrangements. The Battalion will at-
tend in full force, 9 companies, with 34
officers and 378 men, and will be in the
4th brivade. It is quite al compliment
to b3 thus honored, as several other
battalions, the members of which would
no doubt have been delighted to go,
were passed over. There will be about
10 000 troops on parade -1000 cavalry,
1000 artillery, and. 8000 infantry, and
we . venture to say the 33rd will acquit
itself as creditably as any of there. •
SCHOOL NOTES. -Much to the joy
of teachers and pupils the O. O. In has
re -opened; many new scholars assern-
bled, induced, no doubt, by the high
standing taken by the school at .the
recent examinations.. Mr Houston
opeaed the term • with his manual
speech, in which he cave the scholars
some sound advice, ,pointing out that
only bk diligent stay could success be
obtained. Great improvements have
been made in the appearance of the
school during the vacation, although
unfortunately the front part of.the
grounds and school has been somewhat
neglected. Principal Laugh is busy

tion for me, and I pay many visits
there in consequence, and recently was
fortunate enough to hear a solo on one
of the beautiful organs of the Doherty

ticular instrument is just the kind for
a small church or for a home, becatiee
with its two manuals, its 26 stops, and
its pedal • bass, most cherming effects
can be obtained from it; indeed, it is
suitable for the execution of the rnost
elaborate organ music. Another no-
velty I noticed among these organs
was the capital arrangement of the
stops at the side, instead of above the
le, board, on One of the other matt u
