An elttoatioual inetitution with the above name and tine, and having for its object the giving of instruction 10 scion. tine and practical bee onituee is about to be commenced. It will be located in Guelph, near the Agricultural College, so as to afford such of the students ea may desire it au opportunity to take lessons itt this important and interesting branoh of rural industry. It is believed that, with a roll of upwards of 100 stndonty, there will be quite a number desirous of learning how to manage bees. The in- stitution will be open to pupils from any quarter, and both ladies and gentlemen will be eligible. It will be oonduoted somew hat after bhe plan of oommsraial colleges, the object being to put within the reach of parties who wish to cone - =nee b'e.keeping, the necessary in- strttation with as little expenddttrre Of Gum its poesiulb. The full course will comprie° about two months, but any number of lessees may be taken from one upwards. In Germany, where beseksepiug has long been Due of the lending ooeupations of the rural popuhttion, there are many schools and eoilsgss where bee oulbur° is taught to both young and old, in theory and ptacbios. The Gormans are 130 511t- inoutly practical people, and int their country no one thinks of going into this business without due preparation for it. Canada is unsurpassed ea afield for honey production, It only needs qualified bee- keepers and plenty of bees to gather the tons of honey that are now going tomato. There is a vast matdcot for this product. Thanks to the wise policy Of the Ontario Government, this country made a large display of honey at the Colonial and In- dian Exhibition some ysars ago. The Cauadian exhibit took the firsb place, and was the means of introducing our honey to the Bettish market. The honey shown, amounting to about thitby tons, found ready sale tot fairly remunerative prides. In the past hooey has been a costly luxury in Britain, oonmanding from two shillings to half a oruwn per pound. Canadian producers San make a good profit at ninepence per pound. The course of tesolling at the Ontario Beekeepers' College will closely follow that which is in vogue in tho beet insti- tutions of the kind now at work in Ger. many, The following is the projected outline of Study A. 1.

(Prom our Regular oorrespondout., W asb tngtou, May 1, '01. The discussion concerning the 000di- tion of the Treasury, which has been go- ing on fitfully over since the adjourn- ment of Congress, has received a new int. petus from the interview with the Direc- tor of the Mint, to the effect that the Treasury to -clay holds over $250,000,000 "available for any of the legitimate ex- penses of the Government." His re. marks are followed by some ad captan. Slum remarks about the foolishness of. the proguosbioations, lately in ciroula• tion, that the Treasury will not have funds enough to cover current expanses and the maturing public debt. The showing is a comfortable one for the Treasury, and especially for the new See - :eatery, who has beau the subject of some commiseration fu certain quarters because of widely-oirouloted reports that be had succeeded to an empty Treastu,y. that some other eousideratious of serious import (tries. The possession by the Treasury of this enormous sum of money leas been wholly unsuspected by the pub- lic. The Secretary has repeatedly said that be had paid out all mailable funis and was running on a close margin. 13y what form of statement or hocus-pocus have the people been prevented 2:001 knowing that so large it sum collected from them in the shape of taxes has been withheld from circulation 7 Upon what ground of pnblio pulley has it heel: kept locked up, while now available and wait- ing to be paid on demand 7 That the people are entitled to know all rho de- tails of Treasury management and the Treasury finances seem too clear for dis- pute. I3as it been denied to them 7 The subject is up, brought up by the legisla- tion of the last Congress, by the declara- tions of leading Republicans in both Houses, and now by what appears to be really an official Treasury statement. There will bo no more fruitful topic of disoussion from now on until the next Congress meets. The oomposition of the next House will be of a character to require on the part of its presiding officer abilities of the very highest order. It is to the best interest of the Democratic party that the man best equipped for the plaoe shall bo put in the Speaker's chair, and it is the duty of Democratic members to do this. The next Speaker should be tt man of ample knowledge with a ready command of all his resources ; of a high and honorable aonrageoasnese tempered with a wise and discreet eansiderateness of large parliamentary knowledge and 50perlenae and of o judicial mind and temper ; of honest pnrposo and of mani- fest fairness ; os perfect selfcommand and almost illimitable patience yet prompt in droielou and edam cut in reso- lution. The Domooratic majority in the nexb House contains distinguished par- liamentarians, among when are the several candidates for the Spealcorehip that have been aunomned. Its business is to ohoosofrom them all a man who has the qualities of minel and temper which have boon specillod. The contest will have this point singly in view, and anything like a faobion fight will be wholly out of plane. The President should have no dificttl• by in finding a suitable man for the Chinese mission if Mr. Denby's recall is thought to be oeoeesery. The latter ha:' filled the position with dignity, not, and entire 0500575an50 to both governments, and in snaking a change care should be taken not to ssleot &Ir. Deuby's successor from the ranks of those who have made Chinese exclusion their special hobby, and by the intemperance of their dema- gogy rendered themselves specially ohs noxious to the Chinese government, If it is really desirable that amicable rela- tions be maintained between the two countries, and it would be the height of folly nob to maintain and cultivate etch relations. The President sheuld select in Ur. Blade's place some man of approv- od discretion and ability, of broad and pra0tioal business views, and of sense enough to see that the immigration ques- tion can and should be regulated without provoking retaliation oil setting up bar• acre of coumoroial not'inttroourse against a oonntry whose trade and good- will all other enlightened 31031000 are combining or a0tnpetbng to genre.

Hendricks and Louis Smith, alias "Tho Kid," were brought upon the after- noon train by Constable Scott, Brnssel- ites turning out in large numbers to get a glance at the disturbers of the peace. C. A.. Shaw, of Stratford, conducted the prosecution and W. 15. Sinclair, of thie plane, defended the prisoners. The tvit• uesses called against Hendricks were Ward farrow, Deputy Postma0'5r; Dan. DIoDoncld and Mrs. Nightingale at whose house the accused was said to have called en Saturday evening asking for mapper. McDonald swore as to the identity of the man, The prisoner was committed to Mead his trial at Goderich and was tak- en to Huron's capital by T. Gundry, who was in Brussels that day. Court was resumed at 10 o'olook Friday morning for the trial of "Kid" Smith. The wit- nesses examined were Farrow and Me• Donald, who testified on 0 similar strain to the day previous; Mrs. Samuel Walsh, who stated that Smith called at her place Saturday evening wanting something to sat ; and four Listotvol buys, named J.

It is to be hoped the lesson he is /earning now will do him good. Smith, who is about 35 years old, is an exceedingly tough Iooking oustomer. The superintendent of the Detroit lettuce telegraphed that Smith is well-known to the police as a bad man and Inas served a term in State's prison. He was taken to enable Dickson on Saturday, Constable Scott taking him to Wingham on Friday night. The residence of Peter Erb, north-east Grey, Was searched by cola- int/hies early Thursday mornin • of last week owing to the fact that Hendricks and Smith when arrested ab Listowel stated that they were from Detroit and were going to visit at Erb's. The search warrant brought a letter to light, written by Miss Erb, Who is living in Detroit, iu which she salted for information as to the night wabollemu kept in Listowel and the location of Cook's banking house at Fo•dwiuh. A telegram was sent to the latter front Druesols to put him on guard. The trial ot the two Inert will take place before the County Judge shortly and it is hinted that the line of defence will be to prove an alibi.

The trouble at the Church of Ascec• sion, Hamilton, which has been brewing so long carne to a head last Thursday evening, when probably one of the most disgraceful soenes that has ever occurred in an Anglioan church was witnessed. As it was Ascension Day Rev. E. P. Crawford, the rector, had made arrange. ments for special servioes. The altar was beautifully decorated with flowers, and in the centro stood a largo cross of flowers with the letters "I. H. S" Ser. vices were held during the day and these passed off quietly. The evening service, hoivever, was the one for which Rev. Mr. Orawford had made elaborate arrange - monis. One of the features was to be a surpliced choir, composed of the mem. bees of the cathedral and St. atark's ahnrah choice. Bnt to the surpiissd choir the memorialists or anti -ritualists of the Church of Ascension strongly objected, and the leading members of the party warned the rectors of the two churches from which the choirs were to come that if they persisted fu appearing in sir. plioes iu the ohurch strong means would bo used to stop any seviee be/ng held.
