The Local House is still in session, although some people might suppose such is not. the case. They would have good grounds for the supposition, as very litâ€" tle 1'business is being transacted, and that little could and should have been pushed through some time since. But whether there is work to be done or not, the country is not likely to forâ€" get this last session. The members will take very good care to draw their ildemnity, and the Ministers will look with an eye single to their salary and indemnity. This alone will be suflicient to keep them in the grateful rememâ€" berance of the electors tor a brief period, were there nothing else to be considered, During the whole course of‘the Mcwat Government there has been 'very little accomplished. One session was to a great extent, occupied in rbclifying, or attempting to rectify theiblunders of the former". Mowat is possessed of an inordinate desire to tinker ntllfaw making. He seems to wink that the mantle of the Spartan or Athenian hasfallen on his shoulders, and expects» hisiflnhme to be handed down in like manner to future generations. So great and iiiirestrained is his ambition in this particular that he is scarcely ever satis- fiedito‘let well enough alone. Of course t‘ie‘KA cts of his own fashioning are quite right when passed, but the new light he .receives each following session fills hlsw'soul with an overwhelming longing to remove even the faintest trace of a flamand bring them to a still further state of perfection. The Acts offormer Administrations have, of course, proven entirely unsuited to this advanced age, and,they,must‘also be pruned, grafted andlij'emodled. This state of things has ganglion until the very ablest lawyers are ‘iudonbt‘ as to the correct rendering or meaning of the Act, and sometimes thelqner'y is wrung from their his, as to whether it does or is really intended to have any definite meaning. One of our most eminent-Judges has observed that “the prespiration begins to coverl his body and cold chills run down his back when he sees the announcement of the Local House being opened, as from that moment until prorogation or dissoâ€" lution mind is not at. rest.” He telt assured the Government would endeavor to introduce an amendment here, an ad. dition there, topnta new and more comprehensive construction on some othefrpensctment, until they get things so bungled and complicated that even the most clever amongst the celebrated Philadelphian lawyers would weep with mortification when he felt compelled to admit that the meaning of the different Acts‘were as difficult to understand as Sisyphus'fouud it to accomplish his task.

Below is given an abstract of the School Accounts, 1878.11s printed by order of the Richmond Hill Board of Education. The action of the Opposition during their last session has clearly evinced their capability to succeed where their predecessors have failed. Although sitting on the Opposition benches they have, in reality, governed the country in many particulars. They forced the Government to reduce the expenditure, and otherwise amend many of their faults ard misdemeanors. It is supposed that the House will be prorogued on Fri day and dissolved next week,The election will in all probability he brought on in April, and there is nothing like being prepared. The Conservative Associa- tions throughout the country are hestir‘ ing themselves. and the Reformers do not let the grass grow under their feet In our own Riding they are making a thorough canvass. although many of our Conservative friends may not. think so. These Reformers think there is no necessity to let every one know what they are doing, and so give their op- ponents to understand that they do not intend to work. as their candidate is ‘ sure to go in. At the same time they l intend that he shall go in,if hard work can do it. Time to work is flying Fast, and the elections witl soon be upon us. We think it would be adv1sable to hold a few public meetings throughoutl the Riding, especial in those sections where M. Tyrrell has not had the op- 3 portunity of making a personal canvass. l How would it do for the Richmond Hill Association ‘ to take the lead,â€"-tire the first volley. and prepare a broadstge for their opponents. The whole country is heartily tired of such extravagance and incompetency as has characterized the Mowat Government, and only firm and united effort is required to replace these Ministers by men whose past rccord show them to be honest, economi- cal, and capable. Prepare then for ac- tion,and when the time arrives, the satisfaction arising from having done your duty, and benefitted the country, Abstract of School Accounts greater part of their time, and so eonâ€" genial do they find the work that another lease of power would only endow them with greater energy to continue in the already well-beaten track. True, there has been a few useful and good measures passed, but'mnny of these were found not at all adequate to the requirements of the country; and considering the time and opportunity given the Ontario Ministers for compiling and collecting the necessary information for the proper constructions for such laws, they have shown themselves greatly unfitted for the position now occupied. This incaâ€" pacity has been evinced in many inâ€" stances, and the manner in which every investigation has been shirked,or handed over to partizan Commissioners is clear proof of their inclination to avoid any responsibility, whenever possible, and to do everything in their power to retain their present position. count more than repay for extra exertion.

His opponent will probably be Mr Merrick, the present representative.

There was a large attendance, and the ladies of the church sustained the reputation they have won as caterers in these entertainments. W'hen a goodly share of the edibles had been “lost to sight, to memory dear," and the average small boy was yet struggling to get the best of another piece of plum cake, the Rev Mr McCallum took the chair and introduced the lecturer, the Rev Dr Taylor. This gentleman's dis~ course proved interesting and amusing, and related to his travels in different countries. After the lecture, he sold a large number of' books, containing an account ot'his journeys. On the follow- ing Monday evening a Social was held, and a general good sociable time was experienced. ‘ The lecture on “Matrimony” deliv- ered by Mr Spence on Tuesday even- ing last. in the Masonic Hall, in connec- tion with the Mechanics' Institute was well attended. The lecturer seemed to understaud the subject very well, but judging: from his warm commendation of the marriage state, would appear to he “in love" himself. He is a pleasing speaker, and would no doubt, be greeted with a good house, on a second ap- pearance. The chair was ocenpied by Mr John Sanderson, President of the Institute. Avote of thanks was ten- dered the lecturer, and a collection taken up at the clone. In another column will be found a letter from Dr Reid,a1]uding to the ex- mlcts 0e published from the Markham Economist and Fm, about the Dunkin Aet being a failure.

The result of the License year ending May, 1877. was 8L900, for the whole County. The amount of fines collected in East and West York. alone, up to date. amounts to about $3,000.00, or at the end of the year will be double the amount collected under the License Law. and the share of' this fund falling to the Municipalities will largely excede any former year.
