Our Municipal bodies work well, and are popular; the public feeling is infavor of preserving the present system. We iwould suggest to Mr. Grahame that he might as well attempt to introduce a bill to make his seat in parliament permanent, as to create such a radical change in V the Municipal economyr of the Province as the abolition of County Councils.

WESLEYAN METHODIST SAB BATH SCHOOL REPORT. To the Superintendent and Ilfembers 0f the Wesleyan Methodist Church the Secretary of the Richmond Hill Wes- leyan Methodist Sabbath School begs leave most respectfully to report :â€" That in presenting'the annual-returns of the School for the year 1867, he does so with pleasure, as the year has been a successnt one, and one whlch under the blessing of God has proved to be a year productive of much good among the scholars, of greater diligence on the part ofthe teachers, and of an increased interâ€" est relative to the welfare of the School, by those who are not immediately con- nected with it. For several years past there has been a. lack of sympathy with our oflicers and teachers on the part of parents and oth. ers to whom we, as laborers in this imporâ€" tant section of the Wide field of christian labor naturallg} look for a Word ofencour- agementâ€"a more substantial token- of their appreciationâ€"or a prayer that God would be pleased to prosper the work of their hands. ‘ In looking back on the past year We rejoice that we have the pleasure to re~ port 131115, to a great “ degree old things have passed away,” for we remember with gratitude many evident tokens, {heartfer and pocketfelt) of wishes for POSTAL ACCOMMODATION. VAUGHAN COUNCIL our success, and many prayers ofi'ered up to the throne of Grace that the blessing of Him, without Wh‘om the best concerted schemes are vai‘d, jshquld; rest upon us. Another fact which deserves‘an ex- pression of gratitude to an ever merciful and Allaiv’isefieing, is God’s kindness in sharing our-,.el1ildren, and preserving to _ us their lives. N0 vacant seat is to use reminderrof one passed away to an eter- §al world. The same happy faces greet us, the savrne cheerful voiees Welcome ts from Sabbzth to Sabbath. The only loéses'n'e have sustained during the year are those, who, through the vicissitudes of life have removed to other lodalities, peivhaps to other éountrles; but carrying ‘in their hearts, we trust; Seed dropt by faithful teachers to lie Watered by the Spirit of God, ahd destined to bring forth fruit in its season. But while we miss the interesting countenanecs of the Ver- ney's, the Anderson’s and others, our loss is to some extent made up by the admis- sion of additional candidates for Sabbath se’hooi privileges, and each Sabbath adds its quota of names to the already Well extended roll.’ Finnneially"considered, our school is in an ex‘cellent condition, for which We de- sire to return our sincere thanks to those friends, who hare kindly contributed to our aid ‘in this respect. The Socials given during the past year succe3dod far beyond our most sanguine expectations, resulting in placing us in comparatively comfortable eircumstances. Much neces- sary stationary has been purchased, large additions have been made to the library -â€"over seventy copies of' the Sunday ‘Sehool_Advocnte have been paid for, and‘ are now circulating through the village, creating additional interest in the Sub bath school enterprise among the. parents of the children. The general condition of the school during the year has been satisfactory, the average attendance of the scholars has exceeded last year, and has been char- acterized by punctuallity, while the Wil- lingness With which they have conformed to the rules of the school, have been very encouraging. Another“pleasing“r feature which de- mands a passi~ gnotiee, is the attendance of'a large number of scholars of an age which too frequently is made an excuse for dropping off from the Sabbath school. The young men and young women in conâ€" nection with our Bible classes, do a great deal toward contributing to the prosperity of the school in thus attending as scholars, by setting a, good example to younger branches of the various families in our neighborhood, and by their desire for knowledge, and obedience to our Rules stimulgfie the teachers to greater dilli- gene, and more; perseveringr assiduity in their work of' faith an;l labor of 1‘2“) Having giving an epitome Of What W0 have and what we are, we would no?! 130‘ fore we give the statistics for the past year, most respectfully present to the So« ciety what we want, and we trust that when those desires are known that the aid afforded will notfa‘ll behind the lib- eal‘reeuniary centributions of the past year We desire in'the first plaCe to be more frequently remembered at the throneof Grace by the members of the church, that God may graciously ble;s the labdrs of' our hands. All cannot work in the school, neither can all contribute to its funds, but all can pray for us;'the fervent efi'ectual prayer of the righteous availeth much. therefore it is our desire that many such prayers may amend in our behalf, that God may own our labors and by the rre- :cious influence of His holy s iririt, bringr many of those committed to.nur care to ‘ a knowledge of‘thc truth as itis.in Jesus. \Ve also want during the present year an increased number of visitors to the school Several of‘our friends came in occasionally in the past year, but not so m any or so frequently as eoulrl be desired The children lik} to see their parents at the Sabbath school, and the officers and teachers look on a visit as a favor, and take it as a token that they are not alto- gether forgotten, and that their selfâ€"deny- ing labors are, to some extent appreciated.
