Harvey, treasnreirof tlie city of ^uelpli, stole Boniething over teu tiiousand dollars and received last week a sentence of three months in jail for the ofi'eusc. All cruoks should take notice and govern their steps Uuelphwards accordingly. At the late Bronuaii murder trial at iJarrie the juiy broujjht iu a verdict of guilty with a stroiifj recoiumeudatiou to mercy on the gronud that they TS'ete not sure as to the umouut of provocation that Btrathy had given Brcnnau. This is tantamount to saying that the jury vras not certain V whether it was murder or naau- alaughter. If the latter it should not carry with it capital puuisliuieut. In cur opinion the ends of juslice wou.d libve been attaiued by life incarcer- ation, and probably the governor- general will take cognizance of tlic recommendation and deal witii it iu tl)W liglit. pupil had bt!un njHde a piychi 'logical Htudy by Ik* BKidorn and much iu>- proved teacher. Not long since a trustee told nie that an application had been received from a aeooud claw teacher, but seeing about that time his illiterate and rude cunipusitltin in a public paper, would leave hlui out aa a possible candi- date for the sitoetion, tiot yet vaca>*t Mo one competent to decide the question, can afiiriu that the average child in the average achuol is ureatly in advanco â€" much less " phenumenally " to â€" ot the child of 20 years ago. Some intelligent ones in the community think the vulvar acquirements of reatlint! and spelling are not so well tauglit as furmerly. I cun give examples that favor this concluHio.i, but forbear. I am afraid that the teacliora' conventions sometimes du.send to Honifthint.' like a uiutudl " admiration society." Tlie so much and frequently lauded school system of Oainida liati defects, (1) I regard the omission of Derivation in public Bobools as one ; a few elemeut-i give the enquirnig pupils a much fuller and more practical idea of our composite Diolher tonxue, than he can (tet by any means within liia reach in the present curriculum. (2) A i{re»6 number of tax- payera^ who do not luid cuimot avail themselves of the hiKluT seats of learii- nig, think, and justly, that they have to pay for their own aa well as for part I'f tlie education of their more successful ueigliburs, (hat the well to do classes should liear more of the expuii.se of liiglier education. Piincipal Grant is no doubt ri^'hl, PHlriotisiH of ti.e bintaiit kind is of doulitfitl aixl iii^rious quality, and so are public or semi-puUio estays which hold our teachers up to the looking-glass of self admiration.

Prof. Coleman's report upon the Hi- covory of » hat v«.T« supposed to be ci'hI in Balfonr T>'wuchip has been issued. The substance id called anthraxolite, and the opinion is expressed tliat it may have a considiiiable ecotiomic value as fuel for local use. It is now the fashion in Un'ario to discover "sepcut mounds" or moniids built iu the form of a serpent by the ancient and unknown tribo of aborigines known to untiqaiians as the Mound I'uilders. One was dis- sovcrod some time ago on an island in iCice Lake, and last week was Hpcnt LyjMr. D. IJoyle of the Canadian iiistilntte in unearthing a mound in the township ollnuisiil, mar Bariiu. Now an Uiillia man claims to liavu discovered one near that placo 2^ miles long. This, however, can •oaicely be genuine.

There is one stateniant uliicli seems t't iiie a little strong, that " Uur K'luciitioiial advancement " is M plieiiomeunl " and this comes from (jlie improved or more enliyli'ened leach- ing, which, doea not reg.ird the child ns merely "a passive recipient."

Not long ago, at a teacher's convention in Mttrkdalu, a uompetent teacher (a silver medaliat I believe) aaid that so fnr as grammar was coocerned, the teaching of our public Hfhools was useless or worse ; it was ou a wrong principle.
