The local competitions this year promise to be intensely inter- esting, and from the number of inquir- ies received by the Secretary we judge that 'both counties are on their mettle.

A special meeting of this society was held on Monday evening, Sept. lat., to honor ono of our aestspeakers and most earnest workers, Mr. John Nicholls, who leaves shortly to make ,his-hotne in the great North-west. A very warm and interesting, though at the sante time good-natured, debate took place on the subject "Resolved that Sir: John A. McDonald's adrninis- istration should ho sustained." Al - the speakers came almost entirely un- prepared, some able speeches were made. Messrs. P. McKenzie, F. Corrigan, and G., Purvis made some very strong points against the admin- istration, but. they were ably opposed by Msr8 WVt1ns,JPurvis,an J.

He •spoke in the highest terms of the part Mr. Nichol], j4 had taken in the work of the Society and in every thing conducing to the' pec well being of the community. Mr. Valens then came forward and in be- half of his many friends at and about Rolyrood presented Mr. Nicholl with a beautiful silver water pit,:her and , cake 'basket, and in a short speech tendered. him the wishes of ail for a safe jeurney to his new home and a prosperous and happy future. He, was followed by Mr. Peter McKenzie who. spoke very highly of Mr. Nicholl, both • in his relations to public life and as a companion. and/friend. Mr. Nicholl Made 'a very feeling and appropriate reply dwelling upon the length • Or time he had been among the people of Holyrood, the many,associations ef his boyhood •which cluster around it and which will always endear it to him and above all on the tunny pleasant even- ' ings he had spent at the Literary. Society. The meeting then dosed with many good wishes to Mr. Nicholl and his estimable partner. He is a man who will be greatly " missed from our midst. Possessing, talents far above the average, a reten- tive memory, and a reasoning power remarkably . keen and penetrating. The extent and thoroughnes of the knowledge, he has accumuiated is sotne- thing surprising. As a 'conversation- alist he has few equals; the extent and variety of his information making him able to talk intelligently and instruct- • ively on any -of the great questions of the day. He has on several occasions favored the Mechanics' Institute with lectures, and the depth of thought, the keeness off observation and the clear reasoning displayed in those' lectures • • has been pronounced • by competent . critics aa equal,: if not superior, to any- thing delivered by those who had all the advantages of the highest educa- tion. But it is in platform. speaking en the great questions of the day that he exhibits his greatest power. A fluent . speaker, a rapid reasoner, and always ready with whathe wishes to say, , there are few who care to cross swords with him in debate. Were he to enter public life he would be sure to rise to a poSition of eminence'and we hope to hear of him making his mark in his. new home.

I write this to fill up spaCe, to kill time, and to interest all. n It has often puzzled me as to the derivation of the word "Canada" and also hew this country came by that name. Now,. there is nothing like . being interested in a thing. We may not grasp, nor fully understand it to begin with, yet, ham- mer at it, and you will eventually hit the right nail on the head. Well, I • came across a bit of reading to -day which had "Canada" for its heading, and I was at mice interested and ab- sorbed with its contents. I found that the word was "miuted" and brought into requisition under peculiar and 'strange circumstances. Previous to the arrival of the French in this coun- try, the Spaniards came over, of course, in search of gold. The Indians, seeing these strangers, watched them, and dogged their footsteps. and while doing so, they i. e. the Indians heard the Spanirrds say "Reran -mina," and found Oat that it meant "There is nothing here.' When after this the French landed, the same wily Indians, think- ing these were on the same crrand, and wishing to get rid of then", -frequently repeated "A -can -nada." The French, unaware of their intentions, and mis- • taking it for: the name of the country called it Canada, and it has gone by that name ever since - IC M. Goimunta. • ft j —Mr. A.
