A protest of the same was laid before the inspector of `schools on - the plea that certain parties voted at . said meeting being at the eime in arrears with the school tax. The result of the • meeting was the election of Mr. Adam Scott, as trustee, with a majority of .four votes over Mr. fames Horton.

The agreement for milk last y ar was that the patrons get 7 cents their steeds for ten pounds of milk, nd all that the cheese would fetch o er 10e cents on an average for the season. Mr. Peter Fowler was chosen chairman, and Mr. James Elliott, secretary. Mr. Leech then produced his bill of sale, whieh he had received from Liverpool, showing that he had receivee 10-e cents, which left a balance of I ce4 per gallon to the patrons, along with the 7 cents per gallon already re- ceived. Mr. Leech then offered to pay '9 cents per gallon for milk for the com- ing season, delivered at the factory, and the patrons to have all the whey, which the pateins agreed to do, and appointed a committee to look after the hauling of it so as to make it alike easy to those far off sending milk to the factory as those near by. Mr. Leech agreed to pay three times a ear for the milk received. The meeting was well attended, and a hearty vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Leech t the close of it, for the able manner in which he had conducted the factory for the last three years. eneemeeseemeseese, 14 he. ut so, as' pt rs utf d or of ter Y is e e Ladies in the• Gallery. The Parliamentary correspondent of the Belleville Intelligeneer writing from Ottawa says: The Speaker's gallery is a large private box, and.is nightly filled with the- most distinguished women in the Dorninion, the greater part of whom being in full evening dress, helps to give the brilliant chamber a still more bril- liant appiearance. Among the most not- able fregeeiaters of this gallery may be mentioned Lady Macdonald, Mrs. Mac- kenzie, efirae. Cauchon, Mrs. Anglin and Mrs. Blake, and we must say a word, en passant, of some of these powers be- hind the throne, so to speak. What a wonderful woman is Lady Macdonald, and what a strong consort she has been to the great man whose name she bears. Unless Sir John abould follow theex- amples of Disraeli and John Stuart Mill, and give to the world the biography of his -wife, no one will ever know how - much _t is owing to her that the record of his life is what it is. Mra.• Macken- zie is a tall woman, of good presence, and Scotch in every feature and in every word. She is very much liked beeause of her perfect freedom fron2 affectation or any attempt to Acquire notoriety. The quiet way in which. she fulfils the busy round ef her duties has won her many friends. Mrs.- Anglin is one pf the most beautiful women of the capital, and Mule. Couchon propably the most frisk- ionable and popular leader of society outside of Government House. When these ladies are in Parliament, they seem to forget everything except the debates, and their dainty opere. glasses are levelled, not at their neighbors, but at the speakers below. And well may the wives of our prominent .men be anxious, for never before has the Dom- inion known a session where private character has been so publicly' and so pitilessly assailed; and these whose upright lives have won for them fair rep- utations so dear to a wife, have been openly accused of every base crime known to men. But such is the price of fame, and most men, and their wives too,are willing to buy the dazzling -bauble even thus dearly. oneseeenemeeseeseee Presbytery of Huron. • The Presbytery held its regular guar terly meeting in Clinton on Tuesday an Wrdnesday last. On behalf of the de putation to St. Helens and White church Mr. Ferguson reported that said congre gation agreed to raise their minister' stipend $100. Moderation in calla wa granted to the congreeations of Walton Duff's church, McKillop, and Winthrop and. BeIgrave, when they are prepared for it. Mr. Goldsmith was appointed to cite the congregation of Egmondville to appear for their interests in the matte of Rev. Mr. Scott's resignation, at next regular meeting. A petition frorn cer- tain families of Londeshoro and vicinity was read, praying that they be organized into a congregation and for services instead Sabbath instei of every alternate Sabbath as the now have there, and promising at the rate of $200 per annum for support of Gospel ordinances. it was agreed to instruct Mr. Young to .or- ganize them into a congregation, if pos- sible to give them Gospel. supply every Sabbath till next regular meeting. A memorial from Manchester was taken up, asking that said congregation and Smith's Hill be united to form one pastoral charge. It was agreed to let the memorial lie on the table till next regu- lar meeting. A report on the state of religion was read by Mr. Ferguson. The report was received and ordered to be transmitted to the Convener of the Synod's committee on the state of re- ligion. Remits of Assembly were taken ' up and disposed of as follows: Home missions—It was agreed to recommend that there be only -one fund. Widows' and orphans' fund—This remit was ap- proved of simpliciter. Aged and infirm ministers' fund—The Presbytery does not approve of this remit, but recommend to the Assembly to recommit the matter to its committee for more mature consid- eration. Constitution of Assembly— This remit was approved of simpliciter. • The Presbytery, in revising the mission stations and supplemented congregations, • agreed as follows: Bayfield and Bethany —On application made, these congrega- tions were united into a pastoral charge, the Presbytery to ask a continuance of the grant of $2 per Sabbath formerly made to this field, and in the event of their calling a minister, a supplement of • $200 per annum to be asked for. Goder- ich (Gmlic)—It was resolved to recom- , mend that the grant of $2 per Sabbath be continued to this station. Stephen— It was agreed to ask for a grant of $3 ,to this station. Cranbrook and Ethel— The Presbytery resolved to press the ap- plication formerly made on behalf of - their congregations for e supplement of $180 per annum. Dungannon and Port Albert—It was agreed to ask for a sup- plement of $25 for these congregations for one year, to make the stipend, $700 with a manse. Wood's Bible Animals. WRITTEN FOR THE EXPOSITOR. This work gives a description of the habits, structure and uses of every liv- ing creature mentioned in the Scriptures, from the ape to the coral, and explaining all those passages in the Old and New Testaments in which reference is made eo 'beast, bird, fish, reptile or insect; illustrated with oVer 100 new designs, engraved •by several of the most cele- brated. artists in Great Britain. This• yolume is one of the most attractive aids to the study of tbe Bible ever published. Its author, who occupies a foremost place among living writers on natural. history, has made this one of the most intereeting treatises on the subject which our language possesses; taking up every antpaal mentioned in the Scriptures, he makes Scripture and natural history supplement each other. A general ac- count of each animal is first given'em- bracing its habits, peculiarities, mode of life, where it is sought as game, and the manner in which it is caught. This is _followed by an enumeration of its special cearacteristics as referred to in the texts of Scripture in which it is mentioned. The descriptions are • illustrated j by numerous plates designed by the best English artists, and executed in the finest style of wood engraving. The drawings have been made from life, and What has been needed to elaborate, as r4nders dearer the meaning of the Bible, has• been copied from Egyptian or As- sYrian monuments, or from photographs arid sketches taken by thelatest travel- lers, the study of natural history re- geires the closest observation and inves- tigation of the workings of Nature. Our lies are so crowded with work that the time for this is lacking, and we need the assistance of students and writers to bring before us, as the result of patient stedy and investigation, the Most useful and 'interesting' information, so that we may know something of that which lies about us, and of how God has provided foe all the creatures he has made. This we have in "Bible Animals," and in streh a form as to be valuable to both the stedent and the ordinary reader. It may be said: to teach natural history through the Bible, and to explain the Bile through natural history. There is ale() much valuable reading besides; it hes 148 more pages than the English edition, and yet the Canadian edition sells about 50 cents the cheapest. These ar4 facts to be considered .by the people of Canada, and with the great value of th work accounts for the manner in welch Men e standing stake their repu- tation, as they do in their testimonials, and urge the public to invest therein, • and these cannot fail to exercise a great influence with.the people in selecting this most excellent hook.
