The re- sult has proved the justice of our remarks, for a more foolish or ab- surd ease never went before a grand jury; and it is evident that they thought so, for after examin- ing Dr. Duncumb, R. Marsh, J. Wheeler, and the Rev. S. Johnson, they at once threw out the bill.â€" Indeed, Judge Harrison’s charge, by Mr. FENWICK, that the question of breaking up Union School Sec- tion No. 7, Markham and Whit- church, be fully considered at the next meetinor of this Council, and that all parties interested therein be requested to lay their respective claims for or against such action being taken by the Council at the next meetingâ€"Carried.

The bill was then read a third time and passed. Moved by Mr. NIARSH, seconded by Mr. FENWICK, that the By-law to establish the School Section, formerly known as School Section No. 16 of this township, be read a second time at the next meeting of this Council, when the parties in- terested in the above section are re- quested to attend; and that the as reported in our last. issue, was a virtual verdict of acquittal, for he said “of itself, the mere act of burning a person in effigy was not unlawful.” That Opinion quashed the whole case, for that there was no riot, or eventhe slightest ap- pearance of a riot. every one knows right well, and we are only sorry that so much fuss was made overa boyish lark, although we do not, approve of such amusements. We hope, however, that now the case is disposed of all irritation will cease. We believe that the gentle- man whose effigy was purported to be burned,'made himself ridicuâ€" lous by taking and thus forcing other individuals in“, an unpleasant position) and than they would otherwise have of causing uncalled for bitterness to arise between parties, who would otherwise have been friends. Our advice to one and all is, to let by- gones be bygones, and never, for very shame, let a Queen’s Birth- day bit of senseless fun keep them in hot water one with the r \- ,. .â€" ._l (55 r-r V'N A WORD To PROHIBI'I‘IONI We find that our temperance friends are working in right good earnest to put a stop to the drinking usages of society; and loud and long is the blast of the truiripet-like sound for a prohibitory liquor law. Well, so far so good. Get, up your soirees, and let your peti- tions be numerous and well signed. The foe you have got to encounter is a mighty one, and if you want to succeed you must not waver in the conflict. Be courageous, other- wise you will never succeed; for “ a faint heart never yet won a fair lady,” and every truth has, as it were, to be carried at the point of the bayonet; therefore we say, Clerk be, and is hereby instructed buckle on your armour, and above to procure a certified list of thel childien of school age within the above section, to be laid before the Council at the .said meetingâ€"- Carried. The REEVE then laid before the Council the account rendered by the York Herald Office. of $63, for advertising the Township Acâ€" counts; said account laid over till next meeting. Moved by Mr. BUTToN, seconded by Mr. MARSH, that a further sum of $50 be granted as a special grant to make part of the payment for erecting a bridge across the Rouge, between lots 15 and 16, in the 10th concession ‘of this townâ€" ship. YeaSâ€"Mr. Marsh, Mr. But- ton. Naysâ€"â€"-Mr. Feuwrck, Mr. Bowman. The motion carried by the casting vote of the Reeve. Moved by Mr. MARSH, seconded 'by Mr. BUTTON, that a sum not ex- ceeding $60 be expended for the improvement of the concession line in front of lots No. 17 and 18, in the 5th concession of the Township of Markham; and that Messrs. Ostler, W. Padget, W. Grainger, and G. Pingle, be commissioners to expend the sameâ€"Carried. Moved by Mr. BUTTON, seconded by Mr. MARSH, that this Council indemnify 1). Neighswander and all things, do not despise the day of small things, as you have not yet got a Prohibitory Law, don’t IDLE EXHIBITIONS. , We observe with pleasure that Mr. Marsh has introduced, and y-law to prevent, by a stringent license, the exhibitions of horseâ€"riding. puppet shows, &c.â€"â€"â€" VVe think that the thanks of the community are due to Mr. Marsh in particular, and the Councillors of Markham in general, for the action they have taken in this mat- ter; for we hold that it is the bounden duty of our public men to do all in their power to preserve and advance public morality. We send them there, not merely to spend our money and keep our roads and bridges in repair, but also to see to it that our morals are not exposed to unnecessary tempta- tion,â€"-~and who that has witnessed the said effects produced by such exhibitions, but deplores the ill done by them, more particularly to our youth of both sexes. A fear was expressed at the Markham Council lest Vaughan should neu- tralize the effects of the byâ€"law, by allowing them to exhibit at a less cost. Indeed we beliCVe that some of the license fees would be very much higher, if it was thought that the Council of Vaughan would raise their license fees also. We commend the subject Vaughan Councillors, feeling as- sured that they will not be behind Iliaud in this 'iriatter; for we are decidedly of opinion that any, and every exhibition that does not blend instruction with amusement should be discouraged, and kept down by every means in our power. We, however, hope that in the laudable desire to promote our morals, they will not overdo the thing, and prevent (by too high a license) really useful and elevating exhibitions from visiting us; for whilst it is the duty to prevent de- irioralization, it is no less incurri- bent upon our Councillors to en- courage those that with amusement blend instruction, by making the license fees as low as possible.â€" There are many Panoramas and Diorama’s, Magic Lanterns, (Sac. exhibited that have a very benefi- cial effect. We should be very sorry to see such dcbarred from ex- hibiting ; therefore our Councilmen should be very careful not to debar‘ the people from the means of inno- cent recreation ; for oftimes we have learned more history from viewing some good dissolving views, than from the best schoolâ€" book that was ever written. In England such exhibitions are view- ed on all hands as an invaluable auxiliary in the spread of know- ledge, and all the children in both day and sabbath-schools are taken any notice of it, to these shows for the purpoSe of giving them more correct ideas men and things, thus blending in a delightful manner instruction with amusement. We make these re- marks in the hope that every Town- ship Council will endeavor, as far as practicable, to deter Horseâ€" Riders, Circusses, Puppet Shows, inducement to such exhibitions as Shall have for their object the ele- vation, as well as the amusement of the people.

Sm,â€"â€"â€"In your last issue I read a report of the soiree held at Victoria Square, and with your permission Iwill, through the Herald, correct some of the mis-statemcnts and egregious mistakes with which it abounds. It is due to the promot- ers of the demonstration, and espe- cially to the speakers, that the un- favourable impression which this shameful report is likely to make upon the public mind should be removed. The report has upon the face of it the stamp of an anti- temperance man. No one favor- able to the cause could have writ- ten it. As I attended the soireel find no difficulty in guessing who your correspondent is. He is p‘osi- for limiting him in his true colours. And if I shall succeed in convinc- ing him how contemptiblc be ap- pears before the public eye, I &c. from polluting our villages with their demoralising exhibitions, and also to caution our public men not to go too far, but. to give every think he ought to receive my re- marks thankfully, as they may be the means of saving him from like deviations in future. But to come at the report: His description of the “ confectionery" is wOrthy of attention. Let us hear him. He shows his knowledge of philclogy. He says, “everything was so nice, so well and regularly baked, and so profuse." HOW expressive and grammatical! This is speaking very much after the abominable fashion of some piano-ladies. But I must pass on. He first reports Dr, Freil'as calling certain persons “ hyder-lieaded serpents, scoun- drels!" As a scholar, the doctor could never have used the word “hyder-headed.” He might have em )loyed the word hydra. What ma '68 2’8 report appear so infam- ous is, that reporting language Without its connection the speaker is placed in a very unjust position. I will pass over his report of seve- ral other speakers, and take Mr. llagarty’s. This gentleman is re- ported as saying that the “ fault of our not having a Proliibitory Liquor Law was not to be attributed to the constitution 8L0.” Strange logic “Not attributed to the con- 77- this. stitution. What does he mean? Could the constitution enact a Prohibitory Liquor Law? Again, “these who went to Parliament, and violated their promises, should be allowed to pass into political annihilation.” With what propriety the above words are put together! The construction is worthy of Z’s. professional mind. It is needless to say that Mr. Hagarty could not be the author of such nonsensical remarks. I might multiply in- stances, but I have done. In con- clusion, I would say, that Z’s. re- port is a libel upon the speakers who acquitted themselves exceed- ineg well.

I must say, that I am decidedly op- posed to any "such change”; they very quietly fold up the circular and "hope it will find but few advocates.” Thus, while the Association is making use of all the means in its power, to give the matter publicity and have it discussed by the people, numbers of our teachers have treated the subject, if not with contempt, at least with very great indifference. The Association has not .untliiiikingly af- firmed tluit Circuit Superintendents are to be preferred to the present system of su-, pervision ; it has calmly and repeatedly- discussed the question, and had “13, ‘x‘ favour” of “ A Teacher” for the Asso- ciation been strong enough to have brought him to its meetings, he would have heard all the objections which he has urged” and many others discussed and answered to the satisfaction of all the members pre- serumâ€"excepting atone meeting of the As- sociation, when one of the members op- posed it.

As a proof that the objection is powerâ€". less against the appointment of Circuit, Superintendents, I would cite the working of the department ofeducation in Toronto, through which the Chief Superintendent supplies information to the province at, large on matters, relating to schools; so. that the Circuit Superintendents would, have the same facilities for giving and re-. ceiving information, as the Chief Superin-z tendent has ; and furthermore, I think that: the number and importance ofthe questions, submitted to the Circuit Superintendents, will not equal those sent to Toronto. The second objection urged is, that the Board of Public Instruction would be destroyed ’in the event, of Circuit Superintendents, But So far from; that; being the case was the change made im- mediately, there would still be a Board of‘ Public Instruction for the County onork, numbering over twenty members instead of“ the one supposed by your correspondent,~ viz: the six Trustees of each of the three. being appomted. Grammar Schools in the county,â€"-â€"the Superintendents of cities, towns, and in- corporated villages, and the Circuit Sups crintendeuts ; so that the person charged with misconduct would have a respectable. jury, both as regards number and influence, to buy him. I have confined myself in this letter to the objections of your cor-r. respondents. At some future time I may trouble you again on the subject. Yours, &c., MEMOR. VVhitchurch, June 22, 1859. CHIRAVARIâ€"TWO MEN SHOT.â€"-An-. other lamentable occurrence, being the re- sult of attempting to chiravari a married couple,took place a few evenings ago, in the neighborhood of Heck’s Corners in South Gower. As far as we can learn, (and we believe that our information is correct, a Mr. McFadden, whose wife had die j about eleven weeks previously. was married to a Miss Robinson. A party collected in the evening to chiravari them, some hav- ing guns. McFadden, a Mr. Robinson, (brother of the bride) and Mr. Burgen Bull, sallied out to give the party a heating. The latter ran ; the pursuers', however, were likely to overtake two of them, when one of the pursued turned and fired. The gun was loaded with shot, which took efv fect upon the persons of Bull and Robin-z sonâ€"the latter being dangerously injured. When last heard from, none of the parties, implicated had, been arrested, nor were they known. We suppose it will be of lit- tle use to again warn young men of the danger and disgrace of attending chiravaris; not a year passes without the ress having to record the melancholy effects of those foolish assemblages; yet our young men, and boys will not desist from this practice, In such cause they have no claim upon sym- pathy when they render themselves amen-e, able to the violated laws oftheir countryâ€".1 Present!
