I congratulate you, gentleman, on the favorable circumstances under which we meet. As agriculturist you will deplore with me the cold wave that did so much harm, yet the recent rains have so invigorated the crops that there are fair prospects of a tolerably prosperous harvest. Since oar last meeting, your com- mittee appointed in the interests of the towi^hip of Melancthoo and Shel- bumc, to adjust all matters of fiuance consequent upon the formation of the county of Dufferin, met first ia the village of Flesherton and afterwards in the village of Shelbume aud it is pleasing to know that tLe meetings were harmonicas and the settlements jost â€" Awaiting only the ratification of the several corporations interested.

TUESDAY AFTEHN JON. The Warden presented a statement of the Goveinmect appcartioiune nt for Phbtre B8IIIMI W UHr Vanous'town- ships, which was referred to the Education Committee also, a number -of accounts, and a C"mmuuicatiou from J.C. Spragge, Auditor, with re- ference to increase of salary, which were referred to the finance commit- tee. Mr Stark presented a petition from the ratepayers of Sullivan with re- ference to the boundaries of school sections. It was referred to Educat- ion Committee. Messrs. India, McKni.qht, Ruther- ford and D bie adressed the Council on behalf ot the High School, asking fur- ther aid. The facts briefly set forth were that the county of Grey gives less to its High School than any of tlie SOI rounding countiesâ€" that the anual expenses of the school are $4,500, of yriiidi the Government only grants $950, aud the county $950, leaving $2,600, to be made up by tne town, in addition to paying its share of the county grant. This is irrespective of the amount speut on capital account â€" The fine buildings they had crested having cost the town about $20,000, the mterest on which would be $1,200 annually, making a total annual con- tribution to the High School by Owen Sound of$8,600, as against the $950 whieh the county contributed, while fully one-half the pupils were from the country outside the town. It was also set forth that the ratepayers of the town had resolved to keep the sohod free to sU â€" it being now the only High School in the neighborhood whick did not inpre a tax on those attending â€" that efforts were being pat forth to make the school second to none in the Provinue, and one cf wLjpk the county might feel proud but it involved a very heavy burden on th« town, and unless they got farther assistance from the oounty, the Trus- tees uight not be able to carry out all the iiaprovements they contemplated. What was asked, that instead of make- ing 8 sapemodio grant, the county should increase the annual grant it now {ave, say by Hi per cent., or an mcietse of $500. The county now only {ave the minimum it was com- pelled by law to give, while other ocunties treated their High Schools much more Uberaily. Mtfved by Mr. Keonody, aeeonded by Mr. Maloom, That having heurl the lequest of the High ttehod Board fot an 'jtnereased annnal grant, the Education Committee be reqaeeted to take the matter into eooetdaratjon.

On the motion for the adoption of the rep'rt, Mr. McColman moved to refer it back to insert the clause re- specting the volunteers. The amend* ment was lost on the following vote.

Mr. Myles presented report of spe- cial committee ou the Warden's ad- dress. After some preliminary discussion on the railway clause, The Council went into committee of the whole,Mr. Clark in the char. The clause with reference to the railway re-echoed the Warden's sent- iments that the proposed leasing of the T. G. B. R. to the Northern Railway would be fraught with evil to the intereEts of the Municipalitiee â-  wbifh liAVfl_ contributed to the Con- struction of the road, but recommend- ed leaving the matter in the bauds of the Executive, as they felt confident their [pi-erogativj ivould be exorcised justly. Ou that clause coming up, Mr. Middleton, seconded by Mr. Lang, moved an amendment as follows. That clause No. 6 be amended by striking out all the words after "who have contributed to the coustructiou of the road," and the following sub- stituted Would recommend that a strongly worded memorial be drafted signed by the Warden and counter- signed by the Clerk, and ^having the corporate seal attached.^for immediate presentatiou to the Lieutenant Governor in Council, praying that any arrange- ment hav- ing m view the workius! of the T. G. k B. R. by the Northern and Northwestern Railway Companies be not ratified, as such would be pre- judicial to the iuterests of a large pre ponderance of the population, territory aud wealth of this county, and con- trary to the wishes and best interests of the whole of the municipalities which have contributed by way of bonus to the construction of the said T. G. k B. R. The amendment was adopted by an overwhelming majority. On the clause which stated that the Board of Examiners had a right to draw their pay without submitting ac- counts to the Council, the Warden moved to have the opinion of the County Solicitor on the point. The report recommended that the equaUzation ot assessments be made on the basis of the report of the Co- unty Valuators. The committee ros3, and the Council adjourned till 7 p. m.

Citlt Ibr men to faoe certain deafli and a haodred privates would step out at onee, yet test their '^erve" and they havjB none. Antc^lg two or three oases m mind, that of John Melrose, a trooper in the 6th Michigan Cavalry, is recalled. He was an undarsised, quiet spoken man, and he had that wonderful nerve which not three men in the whole bri- gade possessed. While acting as a scout in the Shenandoah Valley he was olie day eating his dinner in a farmhoose, when in walked seyen Con- federate soldiers. They kuaw him for a Union scout, and be knew them fx Confederates. A brave man would haye made a rush or had a fitrht. Melrose simply looked up and as they filed in smiled over hir fix, and spoke out: "Say, old woman, put on more din- ner, here, and we^l have a good square meal together " "You are my prisoner," said the sergeant of the squad, as he' advanced. ' Yes, I know it, but I'll pay for a dinner for you and your men ju»t the same I Sit right down aud make yourselves at home." His nerve upset the soldiers, aud after a moment thsy took seats at the table, forming a complete circle around the board. As soon as ihey began to at he began to think of escape. It was summer, aud the window behind him and ten feet away was open. If he stood up, a'l eyes would be upon him, and any excuse to leave the room could not be thought of. The meal was about half finished, and the captors and captive were chat- ting away, when Me'rosie suddenly flung himself backward, upset his chair, and bounded .through the win- dow. The soldiers ran out and fired at and pursued him, but he made good Ids escaue. In the Luray Valley, just before t" e affair known as the Woodstock Races, Melroee aud his oompauion fell out of ranks to forage. After securing a sup- ply of meat they pushed on after the column, and were ndiug at a gallop when five bushwhackers, well-mount- ed, came out of the cross-road about twenty rods ahead of them. "We are dead meii I" said tho scout's companion, as they came to a halt. Lookuig back they saw four more bushwhackot s climbing the fence to take position on the highway. Mel- rose calmly yiewing their situation, said: We will charge them Fall in be- hind mc and there will be less danger. Draw your sabre and strike hard " The other dared not try it, though he was a brave mau. Ho, therefore, kept his place as the scoucdushed for- ward. Melrose rode straight at tho men with drawn sabre, and thti volley they fired went over him. He struck the Hue, sabred a mau as he passed, and rejoined the column. Uis com- panion was never heard of again, prob- ably being murdered in cold blood. In 18G4 Melrose and three other foragers 'vero captured iu the Shenan- doah Valley, taken to a Small encamp ment, and the foitf placed iu a log house uudcr guard until their cases could be disposed uf Tiiey talked the situation over, and the bravest of ' cm could sec no Lope of escape. Melrose quietly listened to their dis- couraging remarks, and as quietly re- plied that he would be inside the Un- ion Hues before midnight. There was a circle of sentinels around the build- ing, which had but one door. The sentinels paced nithiu six paces of the bmlding, and the one in front could see the prboners through the doorway. Mclroe said that if all wou'd rush to- gether, the sentinels would be confused and either hold the"" fire or fire wild. The three men had participated in more than twenty battles, and were known as brave follows, but here they wanted nerve, and nerve was what they hadn't got. "Veiy well, then, I will go alone," was the quiet ^announcement, and as night came on Melrose was ready. Standing in the doorway he asked the senUnel what time it was. "You git back thar. or I'll shoot," was the prompt reply. "Yes, I'm going right baok," said the scout as he dashed on the man, hit bim a stunning blow, aud made tor le woods. He had to run across an open field in full view of the camp and, though it was dusk, he could be s n plainly for quite half the distant. Mere than fifty shots were fired at h' n, and then pursuit bt'gan, but he resided the woods and made his escape. He was one day sooutine up the yalley, having on a mixed uniform, when he suddenly came upon two fe- roei'Mis lookicg gueriUias wbile cross- ing a thick wood. They were seated on a log, backs to kim bot at tbe soond of his step they s|^ rang up and eovered him with tlieir carbines. It woold have bera bold to bolt, and take the chances ot being hit. Melroao never slackened his pace or changed his ooantenanoe, but walked directly np to tho men and quietly said "Fv* got aewii for the colonel, and I want yoa both to go along and show me the way." "Who said io f" qniokly asked one of the man. "If I mil* the way there'll bs an awfd row, fBrthia i* important news," be aaawend.

There, should be iu the new version eliniina-_ tion of whole chapters and whole books,' ou the grooiid that they make tbe sacr- ed volume too large to be printed in good type and strll te poi-taUe. A small Bible always means that the- type is almost uucrosoople. A popular Bible should be at once portable aud. of fair, clear tpe, aud to make thia postible a large part of the old testa- ment should be omitted from the editions of the future. Not ouly are the laws of the Mosaic state repealed ai;d dead, and there-, fore unworthy of a place in this guide, of the pubUc, but they are the laws, of A semi- barbarous age, aud cast no little of their imperfectiou over upon the fair pages of the new testament. The new testament has suffered much from thus being found an bad com-, pany. Those treaties are valuable as^ beinga partof the history of theJewish' titalo, but not as being a part, much lessvaluablepart of Christauity. Many of the Hebrew laws were so udjub*; that their presencein the popular Bible, makes it esseutial that each clergyman aud each Sunday school teacher shall spend much time iu e::plaining the relation of Mosaic things to Christain affairs â€" an explanation to be made easier by a wiihdrawal of the cause. The laws about women aud slaves ate particularly unjust, and their pres- ence in the good book will always complicate ttie injury "What is in- epiratioD " If, almost all Christain scholars admit, those laws were the temporary snatutes of a nation, temp- orary compromises between a horrid epoch and a kinder one in comparison,' that legal literature should have laps-, ed into quietness along with the He- ' brew, the Amoiite, aud Jebusitc, aud not be spread out to-day before onr youth, as forming some part of tlio »'iviue truths to bo belicvod Besides, the savage injustice in some of thosa laws there is much tiiat offends against refinement of our more civilized times. No minister, no family, dares road alnnd all of the old teetiiueut. It c.imo from a far off time, aud jars like r discoid upon the modern heart. The Bible has already been so deeply in- jured by tlie timidj of its frioudg that now, since the rage for a now version has come, it is high timo a demand was made that tho best of all boAH bo set free from some of tho weights which 80' impede its procrcss.
