There is perhaps no pablic interest of greater importance to the rising genera- tion and f utore of oar country than educa- tion andthereisnocountryon the face of the globe which enjoys a better Pablic School System than this Canada of ours nevertheless, how often do we find that the majority of parents are, in a great measure ignorant of the (often) ham- pered, ill-ventilated, poorly heated and badly lighted rooms their children dwell in while at school furthermore, how unconcerned they appear in reference to their physical comfort while passing through this critical period of develop- ment in mind and body. Then should the question of increased expenditure for the purpose of enlarging, improving or erecting new buildings be agitated what bitter opposition it is certain to meet. True there are those who can ill afford an increase in taxes, but this is not the class from whom we generally receive the greatest opposition; but rather from those who do not appreciate the great advantage of a liberal educa- tion notwithstanding all these difficulties we see commendable progress in country, village, town and city, in th^upply of comfortable aad substantial school buildings, and the number of "stick in|the mud" class growing beautifully less. The better education of the rising gen- eration, from whom our Statesmen, C lergy, Teachers, and leading characters in all departments of life must emenate, justly claims our liberal support and devoted attention. flcn^poloas shystets, watching their BUS* eHkUe opportoaity to tnp op eaoh other's heels; link man ci bonar, aad Chrigtiap» gentlemen besides, -wbam word is as good as their bond. In the mere internal orgaoisation then necessary under the new orderof things, we believe Hbere will be no dilBoalty. The Methodist havewealtli enoni^ and liberality enough among themselves to do all which in this respect will be re- quired, aye, and even a great dealmore. Their zeal also, we are sure, will provoke many. Mr. Mnlock, we prophesy, will not be the only oatside who will fed privi- leged in having some stones in the new building and some dollars in the new endowment, not because their help is needed, because they will love to have it so. And will the friends of University College and the afBliated theological schools be slow to catch the generous enthusiasm, or be willing to show them selveslaggards in the race of generous and high hearted liberality? We are quite sure they will not. Once get people thoroughly in earnest over a praise- worthy object, which appeals alike to their judgments and feelings, and it is surprising how the money is forthcom ing. So win it be in this case. â€" [Globe. WelltiT Notice. â€" ^We wish it distinctly understood that we do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents THEY ARE LEGION. The crops of candidates f or M. P. P. ia East Grey appears to be superabun- dant. The following names have been mentinoed as aspirants, viz â€" Thos. EeUs Dr. Ohristpe, Joseph Rorke, T.McKenny, Thos. Gilray, J. J. Johnston, A. McGirr, J. B. Hand and the present member N. McColman. There are no doubt others which will crop up before the meeting of the convention on the 11th October. By the way, we may be the nominee our- selves, Mr. Oreighton, editor of the Owen Sound Times, is the able representative of North Grey, Mr.Jenkin3, editor of the Clironicle, is mak ing a strong bid for that jwsitioninSoutbGrey, and why not com- plete the list and give the editor of the Standabd the honor of representing East Grey, and if we don't give a good account ofour stewardship, call us Uncle Davie. Three editors from Grey whythe world would be convinced that this country was singulary blessed with superior intelli- gence. In the meantime we entreat our readers and the puplic not to promise their support until after the convention. t College Federation The vote on Thursday night involves a new departure, not only so far as the Methodists are concerned â€" it touches also and will matreially influence the ' higher education of the whole Province. It affects not merely those who go into coofederation, but also, and with almost equal power, those who stay out. All will feel its stimulating effect. All will thereby be more than ever put upon their mettle. Those who have gone into the new arrangement will be bound, by every consideration of interest and honor to do their very best to show that the f aars expressed were groundless than the expectations cherished could be more than made good. Then not less will the Local Govern- ment and the authorities of the Universi- ty and University Collie be bound to show that the confidence reposed in their honor has not been misplaced. These we are certain, have no thought but to be as open as the day. They know that they are not conspirators, as some have most unwarrantably hinted, watch- ing to take advantage of either the weak-. ncss or the innocence of those with whom they have been negotiating.* They know that all along tiieir naotives have been single and transparent. Bat after all that has been said and done, they must feci themselves more than ever booed to put this beyond question. There hasj been trust reposed on both sides, and now come the ofportanity and the obli- jgation to show |hiU tiiis trust has not ..jbeea misplaced; fiii^ ihey atfi joojt jon- ' FlesUeno n. From our own corretgondent. Our Township Fathers met in Council in the council chambers here on Monday last, in the absence of the Reeve Dr. Christoe (who in attendance as a delegate at the ^etbodist General Confer- ence, Toronto) Deputy Beeve, J. McArthur occupied the chair. From the large droves of cattle that com- m^iced to crowd into the village from north south east and west at an early hour on Monday last one conld easily be convinced that it was fair day. There was a good number of buyers on hand and a good number of cattle changed hands at fair prices. Mr. Whitton, Sen., another of the wealthy farmers of this township wishmg to spend the balance of his days in ease and enjoy the comforts of this hfe purchased a beautiful building site on the elevation in the east wa -d of our Town, his new dwelling is fairly under way and he expects to move in early this fall. Mr. J. Eeid of Uhicage, brother-in-law u)f the late Chas. Haler, wishing to get away from the crowded city hie, has also purchased in our pretty and enterprising villaf^e, and mtends pushing forward a handsome resi- dence as early as possible. The Stock of Mr. Abbey, blacksmith of Berkeley, was sold here on Monday last by A. S. YanDnsen. Our esteemed' citizen Wm. Elder, Esq., is contemplating moving witU his family to a warmer climate, he has California in view The pld Durham Itoad has been the scene of a considerable excitement for the past few weeks. A short time ago, Mrs. Mary Watson had her daughter and son-in-law up before Squire Armstrong, J. P., for assault, when a fine was duly imposed, a lew days ago Mrs. Watson appeared again to lodge her ^fourth, complaint agamst Her daughter for similar offence the old lady bore marks upon her person of a sev^e pummilinK. The Quarterly District Convention of the "Eoyal Templers of Temperance," and a large representation of the "Sons of Tem- perance" met m the Town Hall here on Thursday afternoon last. Questions of deep intei est in connection with Temperence ad- vancement and prohibition were discussed, and thoroujrhly ventilated, committees for special work were formed, of the most im- portant is that of the committee for "Law and Order" the motto now is Prohibition for Grey, and through Prohibition candidates for our local Legislative Halls. Staunch Temperance men, no other need apply. In the evening a Concert was giyen in the Hall under ihe auspices of the B. T. of T. there was a fair attendance anithe Progiam, was fairly well sustained. Mr. John Gordon occupied the chair, a«d performed ids duties there in a very pleasaat oanner. The Educational Sermons in connection with this Station were preached by the Rev. W, Ayers m the Metbodist Church here on Sabbath last there were good ocmgiegationB present, the Sermons mere both iatowtinff and instructive. The Bev.

Fawcett, Bsq., the dweffing and grounds purehaaedby'him a short tune ago from the late Mr. Monroe. Mr. Beecroft who is doing a nice smart business m his hue here intends ereeting his green-house on his lot here, and paying strict .attention to all his numerouB oustomers. On Monday evening last tiie Bev. Mr. Ayers delivered his very piipular interesting and instruotive lecture on "The Supremacy of the Human mind," in the Methodist ohnieh, the evening being very unproptious there was not as large an audience as would otherwise have been, all present were apparently well pleased, after the lecture brief addresses were deUvered by Bev. Mr. Watson, Mr. Wm. Irwin our public school principle, A. B. Fawcett, Esq., Editor, and Mr. M. Bichardson. Dr. Spioule, M. P. was expected to be present and ofSciate as chair- man, failing -to attend his brother R. J. Sproule, Esq.. of this village was voted to the chair and filled the position in a very creditable manner. Sehoolmatten â€" The Arbitrators appointed by the county council on the appeal on petition for School Section at the Station, met in the Town Hall here on Saturday, to hear the appelants and Trustees. Mr. Hogg stated the case for petitioners and pleaded most ably and eloquently lor the formation of a new School Section, he had got a Ust of 64 children ol school age which he claimed were in the limits of the proposed seetion, or if not all at present in it, the absentees were belonging to it, and although the terri- tory was smaU and the assessment small and the probable tax to meet an expense of $330 a year for maintenance of a school he admit- ted would be some 22 mills on the dollar, yet he said they were willing to pay it. He was supported by Mr. Cook and Mr. McMullen. Mr. M. Richardson sptke ffrst against divid- ing School Section No. 5. He said they (the Trustees) had never opposed any proposal of any part of their section to detach themselves Jo form new sections or new allowances until this summer. When called on before by the "council to hew petitions for division they ^the Trustees) had told the council to do what they thought for the best interests of all, but â- now circumstances had changed, they had been forced by the representatives from the Station to proyide more school acommodation and had made provision to build a new school house to meet the wants of the section as it now stood he stated also that the proposed new section had not the number of children of school age as requhed by law to form a new section, that the only reliable authority they had was the assessor's roll which showed less than half the required number, that the list produced by petitioners contained names of people not now Uyingin the section and of tohers temporily there in capacity of servants and of Oi^e family just arrived this week (and which it has smce teanspired were only im- ported for a few days to nftke up the number reqmred by law). Mr. Richardson pleaded aUo as a property-owner m the new section agamst the enormous tax which would be put on to meet the cost of maintaining even a thn-d rate school. Mr. S. Damudo spoke on the mexpedieney of diyidmg the school in the way proposed, of the positive lack of children of school age as by law required and the in- justice to his section after deferring our school buildmg for years waitmg the ^iust- ment of section boundries. and never oppos- " any prop»itions from the Station or eke where for readjustmg their bouniaries ;nGw TX^^'iZ";!^ committed to a scheme of school buildini?, to disturb and divide the seo- w-r?-""'^*°^P*»'**«- The Arbitra- tors adjourned for dmner and met agam m the afternoon It took them the wh^le day eluded that if the peiitwners were willinK to pay for their whistle, although it would be expensive, they should bo allied to haye S and the appeal was granted.
