Although a portion of these inay be detained ly legitimate and suiti- cient causes, the absence of the remain- der must doubtless be attributed to un- ‘excusable parental r eglect, and is it stand- ing disgrace to the country. Such a state 'ef things can be productive of nothing but vagraney and crime, and strongly suggests the necessity of legislative in- terferance. “dint may be the best re- medy is hard to determine? but it is evi- dent that the country will never derive full benefit from its schools, until some compulsory law is enacted which shall force those for Whom they are provided to use them. It is folly to talk in this case about invading the peculiar rights of the subject. Men may have right to ‘ ‘ life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ but that they have a right to rear their fa- ‘ ,milies in ignorance and idleness, pests ’16 society and centres of corruption, isl very questionable, if not utterly absurd.

NOV. 17, 1865 The utter inenpzibility of the Ameri» can routes to aecomodate even the preâ€" sent trade of the west, to say nothing of its vast future developeincnt, is generalâ€" ly acknowledged, and inviewof the speedy enlargement of existing Canadian canals, and the construction of new onesJ the ap- parent deterlnination of the United States Government to repeal the Reci- procity Treaty, seems strange beyond question. The inevitable loss that must result to Western agriculturalists from a policy characterized by such blind exclu- siveness, is not to be compensated for,l by any protectionist profits, immaginary or real, As it is so long, indefinite, and illgnarded is the boundary line between the two countries, that successful smugâ€" gling is robbing the revenue of half its expected income, an evil, by the way, which the proposed repeal will only serve to ii‘ltensifiv. i This explains why Western producers are so anxious for Canal enlargement, »â€" which7 by lessening the cost of' transpor- tation, shall increase the market value of' their staples, and enable them to reap a fair return for their labor. “Then the quantity raised even by individuals is so great7 an increase of a, few cents in the price assumes an importance of no small magnitude, and the aggregate gain to the country counts up to millions of dollars. 1 ' “Yhen we‘lnke into consideration the great distance of the “restern States from the seaboard ; the immense quanâ€" tities of' grain and stock which they pro- duce ; the present impossibility of'getting it conveyed to market, and the exorbi- tant rates imposed by the American lines7 so strong a feeling is not to be wondered at. The only wonder is, how f‘urming pays at all, when it takes three- f'onrths of the grain raised to pay for the f‘rieghtnge of the rernainder,â€"~reducing the sum realized for Corn to about six cents per bushel. At a meeting or convention of VVes- tern men, held in Illinois, a, few. days since, an emphatic protest was made against the exhorbitant rates of freight- agc charged by the Erie Canal, and New York and Central R. R. Resolutions denouncing the proprietors of these and the Buffalo elevators, and calling for inâ€" creased facilities of‘ transit, were almost unanimously passed,~ notwithstanding; the bitter opposition of the Eastren ca- pitalists, who selfishly dread anything in the shape of a rival to them in their monopoly.‘ Various proposed remedies, and among them the much talked of Niagara Canal was earnestly dis- cussed, and the policy of enlargingr the St. Lawrence and. \Velland Canals, and of constructing a Ship Canal by the Otâ€", tawa or Huron and Georgian 1Say route,l received a hearty endorsement. _ l Recent events in the West point out clearly how important and necessary is some such direct means of communicaâ€" tion with the ocean. ch are glad to notice that the com- pany who have undertaken this import: ant public work7 are pushing matters v1gorously.

Taking the report as- a whole, howâ€" ever, it affords subject of hearty congraâ€" tulation that our educational interests are in so prosperous a state, and that in this important element of internal policy, our government has been well up to the spirit of the age. at 5,589. Yet this small number, not one sixtieth of the number attendingy the Common Schools,- received $45,604, or more than a fourth the amount apporâ€" tioned to the former. That a libe'al apportionment is necessary to support the cause of superior education in ayoung country like this, is doubtless true, but we hold at the same time, that the. above amount (over $7 to every pupil) is ex- travagant, and. only serves to foster a number ofpetty institutions which render no a dequate service.

Further, that they have to severely censure the landlord, James Watson, foxihis neglect towards deceased; also, for allowing drinking and carous- ing in his house up to such a late hour of the night. A Coroner's inquest wasaheld by Mr. H. Miller, when it was found necessary to hold a post mortem examination on the body. The doctor’s evidence went to show that deceased died from a fine ture of the skull, some three and a half inches long. Nd evidence could be found as to how or Where he received his death blow. Evidence was given that he had been seen to full several times during the night in the bar room, but whether death resulted from these falls LllC jury could not determine. The fiollowing is the v-.:: diet of the jury :â€"â€"That the deceased, U. M. G. Ostertag, came to his death by l On, Friday last, the 17th inst, C. M. G. Ostcrtag, a tinsmith, formerly a resi- dent of this village, died at Watson's tavern, at Maple, under most mysterious [circumstances It appears that he, in I company with some others, on Thursday , night, were enjoying themselves, as is , too often the ease-,5 over a glass of liquor. After imbibing too freely, Ostertag was taken by the landlord into a room and placed upon a bunk to sleep off the effects of his debauch. Shortly afterwards, another of the revellers, thinking he would seek repose, also strayed into the same room, and finding the bunk unocâ€" cupied, stretched himself out for a sleep. During the night he heard some person breathing very heavily, but not suppos- ing that any one else was in the room, he took no notice of it. In the nlornlng he rose and left at four o’clock, with- out seeing any person else in the room. When Mr. Watson, however, went into the room in the morning, he found OS- tertag~ lying on the floor, in an insensiblc state, and had him removed, but did not suppose there was anything'serious the matter with him. About five o’clock in the evening, the landlord had him re- moved from the stable to the bar room, were he shortly afterwards expired.

Mr. CAMERON, in addressing the jury, said the prisoner was placed in a. very uut'ertu- nate position,as he had been tried on a charge of having slain a fellowvereature who had b rought the trouble upon himself. It should not be forgotten that if a man be attacked he may make resistance in his own defence; but it was clear from the evidence that the doc eased had received only one blow on the head. The cut on the back 01’ the head had evidently been caused by the sharp edge of the shovel in the hands of the aim Lel- liott. He did not even ask for a vc «l of manslaughter; he (the learned couns i) ask- ed for a clear acquittal :, because he had in- flicted a blow in selt'det'euse. The learned counsel at considerable length and in his usual forcible manner proceeded to show that as the prisoner had been placed in great, bodily danger when being attacked by the two men Lelliott and Kane, he had to de fend himself the best way he could. In closing, he trusted that the jury would bring in a verdict of not guilty. Mn. \IUNAB declined addressing the jury.

It the jurv believed the statements of the latter it s uld consider that the prisoner had acte‘l in self dcl'ence. If the evi ence of Lclliott were correct then the prisoner had used undue violence. In closin 1‘ his re- marks his loidship said there was three ver- dit'ts the jury could blinar iiiâ€"viz, murder, mzmslauzhter, and an acquittal. If there was any point in the evidence upon which the jury desired information he would be , glad to give it.
