A Matter for; the .1 !Consideration
of Munitlipal! Councils'.
Scarcely a session of the Legislature is
allowed. to pass without some new amend-
ment or addition being made to the laws
for the government of municipalities,'
Many, indeed na st of these changes are
of a beneficial na tire, nd have been sug-
gested by experien e and are re-
quired by the change and improved con-
dition of the Country, But, With nearly
every such champ, n w duties and in-
creased, responsibielitie are placed upon.
the municipal offieials. Notwithstanding
this fact, the rdnun ra-tion awarded by
1
municipal coancile to t.. eir officers has not
Li
increased in Proparti.os to the labor to be
performed. That th remuneration al-
lowed municipal offic rs is miserably dis-
proportionate to he lerge amount of la-
,
bor they have tc pe form and. the re-
sponsibility and tisk jhey.incur is a fact
too evident to be deni . In earlier clays,
when the country was sparsely seettled
and less wealthy than how, and when
public intprovements were proceeded with
slowly, and few of them were
paid for out of the ' funds ' of
the municipalities, but were made by
the people directly, the labor of the offi-
cials was comparatively light. Now,
however, things ire changed. The coun-
try has become thickly settled, the peo-
ple comparatively wealthy, and, as a
consequence, improvements are more
numerous and eipentive. and the labors
and responsibilities cif municipal officials ,
,
increased.

Church Union.
i
As the question of church union will,
probably, once mom come before the
various Presbyteriaf congregations for
theia consideration and approval, before
long,rit may not be amiss to lay before
our readers the remit on union as finally
passed by the high courts of the different
churthes, andwhieh,before union is finally
effected, will have to be approved of bytiee
various congregations in connection with
the aniting ' churches. This union once .
effected, a prestige will be given to the
Preshyterian body in the Dominion that
canaot prove otherwise than an inualcul-
ableladvantage to the welfare and suc-
cess of the entire church.-
