The Exeter Advocate, 1894-10-4, Page 4THE tf pieta .f 's2TA NT" SC.4l O OLS.. Some o; the local Protestant clerg y - a ten have been saying some very se- vere things because the corner stones of public schools have been laid with - Out erelig•ious" services. They 'objeet strongly to the "godlessness" of Corner. �� 11" lr Ill. without .� a� .,, 1 Bout lattblic player --of Bourse, by ,l Clergyman. The mistake these gentlemen make is in . supposing that the publte school are Protestant eehools. They are ie.hi:ag of the kind They are schools for Catholics, Jews, 1ahammedans,'Buddhrsts, hoathens,ag. rlostie, tutidels, and people of all man - seer of arl-A rof religious thought whatever. The majority of the people, and of the child- ren atteadiug the public schools, 41,re,of course, Protestant, or supposed to be protestant; but surely that is no reason why obnoxious prayers and other re- s`igious ceremonies and services should be imposed upon the minority. The Catholic separate schools exist because el the claim that Protestantism is taught in the public school, The clailn is not well founded, but, i11 -founded as at is, it has been sufficient to build up a wall between the Catholic young and elle young of all other creeds, which can have do other result than the fos• terieg and perpetuation of bigotry and intolerance, To:introduce Protestaut- isrn into the public school would,in jus- tice, necessitate the establishment of separate schools for QJews Unitarians, heathen, agnostics and infidels. An these are equal with Protestants in the eye of the law, and each sect is as much entitled to have its peculiar don. trines taught in the schools as the Pro testanst have. But even the Pro- testants cannot agree among them• ;selves. Methodists, Presbyterians and Baptists would object to the iutroduc- tion of Church of England "religion" foto the public schools—each Protestant denomination would object to the in- •oduction of the "religiou" of any of the other denominations, One of two things must be done. Provision must be made for separate schools for each sect, or the public schools must be purely secular. 3t seems to us that the latter is very ranch to be preferred. So far as corner -stone laying is con eerned, it is a piece of mummery which sight very well be dispeused with. It would be more sensible to wait till the building be finished and have a little jubilation inside, TIIE WHEAT OUTLOOK. It is satisfactory to learn from recent ez.chal:ges that the yea:'s wheat crop fn Manitoba is one; of the finest, as well as largest, etier produced in that West earl Province. When so much depends on this principal crop for bringing in a revenue to the farmers, the outlook in >l:.tuitoba is cheering indeed. of course ruling prise of grain is still low, and may continue so unless the mar- ket is affected seriously by the wheat crops is outer parts Of the world. But it is ;'ratifying to learn from the Win- tipe.g Commercial that this year's crop ;n that Province exceeds in character, as well as in yield, all previous years. This state of things will tell favorably in the British markets, where most of the wheat .Chipped from Manitoba finds its way. In conversation with a prac- tiele farmer, who has just returned from a three moiitlts' tour in Manitoba. rad Dakota, the report giyen by the Commercial" is quite confirmed; while �. =som the same source we learn of the vast extent of area under cultivation 'by western farmers of the grain crop. It is no uncommon thing for an ordi- ary farmer to have sixty or seventy ,sLres under oats and from one bunds•'d to two hundred acres of wheat, yie+l.i- dng 20 to 25 bushels to the acre. It is affirmed that Manitoba produces the finest wheat in the world; and, with ouch a vast area of production, farmers can do well even at a low figure seeing 'that the production is not one half what it is in Ontario, And we are as sured that if Western farmers only took kralf tbepains is cultivating the soil,and preparing for a crop, which is dime in Ontario, -•the yield might be immensely 1Gitrge:r than„ it is at present. Each :province of the Dominion seems speci- ally adapted for some one crop or sy semi .of fanning roller tb,a.n airother, and undoubtedly wheat is more a profit able yield then anything else. In the Akastern provinces, and in some of. the ttreme Western parts of Canada, cl..rying or cattle ranching; is more likely to yield large returns than wheat, Mixed farming and dairying etre what the Governor General has leen adrouating during his recent tett!' tem the, Maritime provinces. M'ean,vhile Is i. :is satisfactory to know that the farrn- eseof Manitoba are welt pleased rrh h I "icor lo � outlook, and no discourage aiZ td t di sg" by gcasittristpc grumblers about the levy 11 race of wheat, ZURICH'S FAIR I Jane l'1reathtlr, 1L 6icaot* Exhibit uud over 2,000 People irk Atteuctuuee, The thirtieth annual Fall Fair under the auspices of Hay Tp, Agricultural Society was held in Zurich on Wedues- day and Thursday of last week, Over 2000 people were in attendauce and the exhibits, both iu quantity and quai.. icy were rather better than in former years, No better weather could be de sired, which vo doubt had s tuo i g to do with bringiug out the large crowd.

Ailsa 'Craig: A lead of our towns people went to London last week and thought they 'knew haw to drive' back, but they didn't for after driving in all direetiot.s but the right one, they went back to London and started over again, They took about six hours to reach here, Durieg the hot weather impurities i the blood may seriously annoy yo.t Expel theru by tit rl g Hood's Sat- apa villa, the great blood purifier, Mr.Luceu: r.

Bruceiield:—Mrs. John Ross has rent ed the old homestead farm on the Lon. cion Road, Stanley, to. Mr. Charles Wos man for $290 a year. Hers. Ross in tends removing to Clinton to reside. Mitchell: On Sunday Mr. James Keeler became suddenly ill and the family physician was immediately summoned when it was diseov• Bred that a blood vessel bad burst. For days the patient was ' al- armingly ill, but, although still very weak he is or; the road to recovery. • Goderich: on Thursday while re. turning at noon from school, a lad about 13 years of age, named. Charlie Roberts was run over by a load of hay. The boy had been playing with some school -fellows and . was accidently pushed under the wagon, a wheel of which passed over his thighs. He was carried into a house close by and un- der medical care is getting along nice- ly. It is thought no bones are broken, but it is a �4 ender that he was not killed. lit- I TiT 0 • aeLelle a • Wingham: A gang of young men were out the other night on an old- fashioned spree. Some of them were of the class known as "bloods." The crowd made the night hideous by their yells and screeches, During the uight a large pane of plate glass in P. Deans' flour and feed stare, stone biosk, . was completely shattered by a stone being thrown through it. Bloods or no bloods the perpetrators of such mischief should be made an example of. There has been too much of this rowdyism going on after night lately, and we hope the nightwatchmau has the names of all the drunks and will shove the case. Seaforth: Rev. Mr. Guthrie, who has so ably and s cceptably filled• the posi- tion of assistant to the Rey. A. D. Mc- Donald, of the Presbyterian church, during the past few months, delivered a farewell discourse to a large con- gregation. on Sunday evening, last week. He left town on Monday for Walkerton, to assume the pastorate of the Presbyterian church there. Mr. Guthrie is a young man of more than ordinary ability as a preacher, and dur•ini his stay here grew in popular- ity, an gained many warm friends. The good wishes of all follow him to new field of labor. St. Marys: Herbert J. Page of St. 11 Marys, who has an invention of a per.' feet regulator for steam engines. is in great luck. His simple contrivance was seen by a reporter in operation at the Woollen Mills here, where it has been submitted to a thorough and sev- ere test and did its work satisfactorily, The cost to the user is $1, per horse power, and the device is so important that it is bound to pass into general use, Mr. Page has taken the precau- tion to secure patents on 52 different points,thereby securing himself against any infringement of his right. The value of his patent can scarcely be es- timated, but that it is somethinglami mense can be readily surmised from the fact that a Cincinnati firm is en- deavoring to purchase the right for the United States alone at the figure of $12,000, St Marys: It has been pleasing to watch during the past few years the enterprise exhibited by" tho business men of town in making improvements to their premises by changing from the old style windows to the plate glass, and otherwise bbautify iug their proper- ty. St. Marys has a good class of busi• ness men, who keep up to the times along all lines-koeping the latest goods in their various departments and also making the prices as low as living will allow. Their enterprise should be encouraged, but some people in town r wilt someway,and a are Cher other s seem to think that punishment should be meted out for such enterprise. Some time in the past two weeks the glass window of Messrs. T,McGolrick and Jas, Chalmers have been cut with a diamond. Wheth- er this has been done thoughtlessly by some irresponsible individual or deliber ately to annoy these gentleman we know not. but we have no hesitation in stamping the action as a rascally piece of businese, and if the perpetrators could be raptured they should be taught a lesson that would make them more careful in the future. Brussels: Veterinary Moore was called out to Thos. Maunders' on Sat urday morning to see a sick horse, but before he reached the place the animal died. It was decided, however, to in- vestigate the cause of the disease, and on opening the animal about the full of a quart jar of tape worms were found in its intPstiees, By actual count there were over a hundred, and they aver- aged about a foot in length, ° and are fully half an inch in width end as thin as an ordinary tape. We believe this is something very seldom found in a horse, The animal from which they were taken was a. fine young mare, four year:, old, and win be a big loss to har owner. The immediate cause of eath was inflammation of the bowels, started by acute indigestion, caused to doubt by the presence of the,tape Worms. The animal had for sometime been ratim, ravenously and could artily be satialied ' with water, care laving to be taken to pt•enent bar eat - ng and drinclo ;' too much, The case , sanfnt one nc,h rsernen and n to o hough s, h rareone thatMight „ iso m , profit- blybe explained before a Farmers"' "b- alite, d Ailsa Craig: One of our young men r got himself in a ticklish position last Thursday night when he undertook to take a .free trip to Lncaer on the mixed h train, The COnduetor wouldn't have 1 it that way and as the young fellow i did'nt have the price a wordy war took i pvlace andh w e was fired. ed Itis c:om • n t a p was paid for by a gentleman from a Own.
