quote from a report of the judgment -
"Judge Meredith, upon the pt•inoipal
question avoided expressing nuy definite
opinion. He thought, however, it would,
at all events, bo wiser, oven ifit were not
esse»tial, that such details, or the prin-
cipul of thorn, should spinets in the rose.
lution to which the situation of the rate.
ply0113 was given. Ile scouted principally
influenced by the circumstance of the
petition to the Council against the now
school house.
Ile admitted that tho petition could not
have any binding validity, and that tho
only furinnl 'Lotion of the ratepayers wee
that taken at the special meeting in Jan.
nary last.
Ile said farther that ho was largely in -
financed in declining to make any order
by the consideration that in doing so lie
decided 'lofting, bet left the nuttier to
the ratepayers themselves.
110 remarked that, judging by the peti-
tion, there seemed to have boon one
change of mind already by the nuijority,
and vory possibly there would be another
change by now, or within the next fess,
months.
Ile thought that the affidavits all !how -
ed that the Township Council, and es-
pecially the Clerk, had gone far beyond
their duly in taking Bides in the metter,
and suggesting °Litanies to the require -
motto of the Trustees. He spoke of the
Trnstees as in his view only detailing ap•
parontly to carry out honestly the wishes
of the School Section.
Ile thought they wero literally in the
position of Trustees in the matter, and as
they appeared to have boon ouly doiug
thaw duty throughout, there would be no
costs against them, but he would leave
the Township generally to pay its owu
costs of resisting the vemlioation, while
the Trustees would pay the costs of thole
Attorney ant of the general funds of the
school sootion."
From tho fact that while the judge has
entirely approved the course of. the Trus-
tees in brulgiug the queetion before the
court, he has also oeusured the Council,
and ospecielly its Clerk, shows that the
lesson Is not for the Trustees, but for the
others,
It is to bo hopell that the Winthrop
correspondent will store t1( in his mind
the lesson contained for him ie part of

Mr. Battery, in the Dublin street ehurch,
remarked that a few Sundays ago there
wore about 500 persons present, and the
plate collection amounted to a few cents
over two dollars, and as this was made
up mostly of five oent pieces, only about
60 persons contributed, and over 500
persons gave nothing. Very likely half
of that number could scrape up money

11OLVITIOT PaTtTION.-The polyglot
temperance petition has arrived from
England and was on view at the Inter -
notional W. C. T. U. convention in
Toronto. The petition is affeetionately
called the "Polly Pet" by the women of
the W. C. T. 17. This polyglot contains
with actual signatures end attestations of
great societies through their offieers an
aggregate representing seven millioue oE
namea. 10 000)0 an active woman busy
two years simply to paste on the names
and make the petition, which is bordered
on one edge with red braid and on the
other with blue to symbolize the Rags of
all the nations in which signatures have
been obtained. (Ole undoubtedly true
that no petition since the world began has
ever represented such an extent of area or
such a variety of races. The petition was
sent over by Lady Henry Somerset in
care of Miss Lery, one of the delegates
from Great Britain to the World's W. C.

REA Dow's Fan TalatallkNOR Wonx.-
Neel Dow was twenty.live years old when
he delivered his first temperance speech.
It was at the anniversary supper of a fire
company to which he belonged, and his
strenuous opposition to the use of liquor
was effective to that degree that the fire
company adopted tempernnce as a prin-
ciple. Later he prevailed upon the
Maine Mechanics' Charitable A.ssooiation
to forego the use of wine at its annual
dinner. At that time liquor was almost
universally used in Detain°. One of the
curious °esteem of Portland in them days
was the ringing of the town hell at eleven
and at four o'clock, by way of warning to
mechanics that it was time to leave work
and get a drink. This custom the young
reformer succeeded in having abolished.
Then he persuaded most of the Portland
employers to discontinue supplying their
men with armor. After his lint success-
es, Neal Dow felt that Temperance was
the most important mute of the age. It
was owing largely to his efforts that the
Young Men's Total Abstinence Society of
Portland was orgauized. Its first meet-
ing, 10 10 said, WAS held in the °minting
room of a distillery,
