' EIEHMHNB HILL MST UPPIBE The report of the Minister of Educa- ’ tion on the Mechanics’ Institutes of On- tario shows that the number of Incorpo- rated Institutes in operation in the Pro- vince is about one hundred, of which seventy-two receive aid from the Legis-l lature. The amount set apart for the current year, terminating on the 1st of May. is twenty-two thousand dollars. It seems from the report. that the institu- tes are not fulfilling the expectations that were formed in regard to them. Some of them have reading rooms and no library or evening classes, and others only a library. The report says the principal object for which mechanics’ institutes were established, of afi'ording practical instruction by evening classes in technical subjects of advantage to the artizan, mechanic, and other indus- trial classes, has been onlv partially ac- complished, and the eiforts made in es- tablishing reading rooms and furnishing libraries in connection with this object have not proved as successful as the Pro- vincial Legislature in its liberality had reason to expect.

A meeting of the farmers onork Town- ship was held at: York Masonic Hall, Eg- lington, on Monday, 2lst inst., to consider the propriety of establishing a sugar refin-- cry in the township. The meeting was addressed by D Scheidtweiler. who gave an interesting account of the growth at" sugar beet root. &e., stating that where the soil is adapted forthe purpose, from twenty» five to sixty tons of crop is grown to the acre. He thought there were sections of land in the township suitable for the pur» pose, and said he would require about sixty thousand tons of beet root ‘per anuum, it" he established a refinery, and would probably keep from four to five hundred hands em-- ployed. He would like to. purchase about two hundred acres ofland. and would build about two hundred houses for his employees. The establishment, he thought, would cost three hundred thousand dollars. He asked the‘farmers to give the beet root a. trial this season. and if it could be grown to ad- vantage he would like to build a factory somewhere in the vicinity of Eglington. The terrors of the past Winter in Nebms- 3m bid fair to be eclipsed by the disasters of the spring. The Platte and Loup rivers inundated their banks, many people losing their lives and a vast amount, of property being destroyed. A despatch from Candahar states that a rebellion has broken out at Herat so great in its strength that Ayoob Khan by this time is probable exiled or taken prisoner. The rebels are headed by Molmmmed Hass‘ an Khan, Governor of Kushk, who induced Mohammad Jan’s regiment to join him in the attack on Herat, and it. is supposed that Mohammed Jan was murdered with this end in View. It, is pointed out that this gives Abdurrahman Khan an opportunity to bring all Afghanistan under his away. The same despatch states that Abdurrah- man is on his way to Candahar, but another says that it is now too late in the season tor the English troops to match to India. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS mm 9mm: mm.

Sanderson was called to thr chair. The Rev Mr Addison read several extracts from the Annual Report of the auxiliary Missionary Society, showing that in the Toronto Conference there was an income of $37,763.63, adecrease on the former year of $906.23, of this shin $6698.09 had been disbursed in circuit and other expenses. Richmond Hill had subscribed $94.13 last year, and Maple $165.09. In the Toronto district, comprising Toronto, Yorkville, Davenport, Seaton, Parkdale, Searhoro, and Yonge‘street South. Centre and North the total amount subscribed was $10,823.41. The total income of' the Society was $131,304.26, being $429. 82 less than in 778 and ’79, and the ex- penditure 3513103509 a decrease of $9, 054.71 0n the former year. The Rev Mr Manning addressed the meeting at considerable length, giving a sketch of how the missionary work is progressing in the North-“708m He thought it the greatest: honor to swim-- cate missions, as a representative of the godly men who were willing to undergo every sacrifice for the glory of the Lord. He was personally acquainted with the NorthVVest Mission for 900 miles west of Winnipeg. About five years ago he left thatcity in company with Dr Young, for Edmonton on the Saskatchewan River. They had a very romantic trip. The party was a large one, consisting of two teachers, traders, settlers, thlrty Red River Carts, wagons, and something called a buck-hoard. They were sixty-three days travelling. The Rev Gentlemen gave a pleasing yand graphic description of the trip, and the hardships undergone. Mr David Mc- Dougnll, a son of the Ilev George, ac- companied them, and assisted very materially in makian the journey more pleasant than it would otherwise have been. He gave an account of a snow- storm whtch blockaded them on the 4th of October, for a few days, while camped out on the plains, in tents, with ‘very little firewood and water scarce. But the climate was Generally beauti- ful and remarkably hea. thy. People suffering from weakness of any kind, were wonderfullv benefitted. As an in-- stance of how much work could be done without fatigue, he stated that mission- aries often arose about day-light, walked 12 miles, and rode back on the here back of a mustang, before breakfast, witlvout feeling very much fatigued. Thirty- nine years ago the Rev Mr Rundell began the work of' a missionary at Fort Edmonton the head- quarters of the Hudson Bay 00., for that section He was continually travelling, and pene- trated 300 miles north, as far as Slave Lake, where he laboured among the Cree Indians. He also travelled south some 300 hundred miles, and converted about 300 Stone Inians. He did not succeed very well with the Blackfeet. He labored for 9 years among the Stones and Crees, and did a glorious work. To day there is no name these Indians 1 like better than that of Mr Randell.1 The Roman Catholics had established a mission near Fort Edmonton. About 70 persons are now taken caie ofby the nuns and every person must admit that a good work is being done amongst the Indian children. They are now sending out missionaries to master the languageâ€" age of the diflerent tribes. This is just where our missionaries have failed. The ‘ Catholics have now control of all the country west of Fort Edmonton. Some years ago Mr Wolsey was sent out to the Fort, to centralize the work. He erected a house about 50 miles west of the Fort. When the Rev. Mr. Mc- ; Dougall arrived, he established a station at Victoria, notwithstanding the fact that it was in a location dangerously near tothe warlike Blackfeet. It was not as much trouble to build this beauti- ful Church at Richmond Hill, as it was to erect that small mission house in Vic- toriax as material is very difficult to get. When the lumber was all ready for build- ing a fire broke out and completely de- stroycd it, The settlers would not try to ' save it because the fire occured on Sun- day. so greatly did they respect the Sabbath in the back country. There are now over 100 bodies buried near this station, including the daughter of the Rev Geo McDougall, and the wife of the present chairman of the district. About 30 years ago an Ojibaway Indian boy named Sterner, from Lake Simcoe, went up to the North-West as a mission- ary, and through his heroic labor and teaching there are now some 200 lndians in comfortable 105; houses, having large plots of wellâ€"cultivated ground. Their children have the advantage of schools, and all vestiges of idolatry have vanish- ed. In a recent Visit of the Lieut-Gov- ernor. to this section, the Indians were described as intelligent and modest look- ing, and apparently good law abiding people. We have em stations up there at present. Our great need is native agents. “7e also need several men for Woodyille and Fort Edmonton. Between four and five hundred miles of territory are now occupied by our missions. Some of the stations cost from one to four thousand dollars, and were sold to us for a. few hundred. The country around Pigeon Lake station is good for agriculâ€" tural purposes, and‘ abounds in gold and other minerals- We have a. station at Morley, about 200 miles south of Fort Edmonton. on the Saskatchewan. South of Morley 120 miles, we have a station at Fort McLeod. We only want zealous active Christian men, and a great and glorious work will be accomplished. The Rev. Dr. Hunter, said he con- sidered every minister a missionary, but only men like Mr Manning, who lived amongst the heathen ever thrilled a meeting on this question. He advised every one to carefully read the Annual Report and lend it to their neighbor. He congratulated the congregation on THE GREAT NORTH~W EST. Missionary Heating Converting the Indians. C. M. CHURCH. the beautiful Church they had erected. I It was a monument of liberality, of love, and veneration for the cause of Christ. He prayed that it might be the birth- place of many souls. There have been a great changes during the year. Deathi has visited many families, and robbed us of friends that we loved with a ten. derness that we can never express. ; Many persons still retain the idea of educating mankind by a system of mor- ality, without the gospel of Christ. They dare not make bold attacks on Christ’s religion, but they speak of Science and Phllosophy, and insinuate that these carry with them the panacea of the world. They overlook the fact that ‘man in a three-fold capacity, is ruined. ‘fallen and lost. Science can open the understanding, but it cannot touch the soul. No mechanicism of theirs can turn a sinner from the error of his way. The affections will often go contrary ‘ to the understanding, in spite ofthe will.3, The softer. sweeter. ‘eentler Gospel of; Christ must regenerate the soul. France tried to live without God. A committee appointed by Government reported that there could be no liberty where God was ; acknowledged. The result was revolutlon and France drenched in blood. That history was written to turn men back tot the Bible and show that the wisdom of man is a curse instead of a blessing. when separated from God. The world needs the gosp el. It is the only and all- sutfieient remedy for the ills of hu manity. The Apostles preached this! vospel, and D1ana of the Ephesians fell, and the greatest intelleets of Athens and G1eece felt and acknowledged its force. ‘ The Church proved unfaithfnl. or her work would have been acccomplished much better. But Martin Luther aimedl a death blow at the Pope and the Devil. Modern Protestant enter- prise isnot yet 100 years old. Bishop Thompson savs: â€"“When I look at the progress of' Christianity it resembles a warrior, who contemplating the subju- gation ofthe globe, has planted his bat- tery of guns, placed his battalions and sentries in all the important and com- manding positions." Wherever the flag of England floats, there is also the Bible. Christianitylias now the aid of com merce and Science Language is an auxiliary. Religion 15 divine and cm- ‘nipotent, cin we doubt it will fulfill its mission. Through Syria, Persia, India. l Ceylon China and Japan rolls the word of God. But there are still many strong- holds to conquer Many gallant soldiels have fallen in the work, but the ranks are well filled up. This religion perme- ates the head, pocket, heart and the whole man. It was this religion that gave to the old saddle-bag Methodist preachers thier energy and heroic spirit. and enabled the mother of the sainted Lahmer to say when her son was killed, “If 1 had another son I would. freely dedicate his life to the same noble work.” A vote of thanks was tendered the speakers. Acollection was taken up amounting to $23. The collection last year was $14. Subscriptions to the amount of $83.73 were given. A vote of thanks was tendued the choi1,the Rev Dr Hunter compiimentinq them ve1yhighiy upon their ability. He said the music had cheared his heart and warmed his whele being. The bene- dlction closed the meeting. Our village has been rather more quiet than usual this last, week. on account of the rough roads and cold windy weather, which came on rather sudden after our big: rain and large flood. The river Humber is agam down to its usual size. Quite an exciting chase took place here on Saturday mornintr last, between a speckled “hen” and one of our villag- ors over fences wood- -piles, &c. , till the old Gentleman got. tired out and gave up the chase, but will give a liberal rewarn to any one returning it to its owner The Schomberg Dramatic Club did not put in an appearance on Friday and Saturday evenings as advertised. Sick- ness being the cause. Other places along the line shared the same fate. Your correspondent “Citizen” in last week’s paper, displays a large amount. of ignorance and very little knowledge of Latin. HIS ability, however, does not equal his vindictiveness. “An honest, upright, well-bred man Will not insult me, and no other can." Now that “Halfbred Lunatic”, as I might call him, speaking about the great injustice done to our Village and villag- ers, by your Correspondent here. Now as to any injustice or untruth having been written in any of my correspondâ€" ence to your paper, I will defy him or any other person, or persons, to contra- dict it, and if he knows who I am, as he thinks he does, he can consult me personally at any time. as I will be always happy to strengthen the “brains” of' such demoralized characters, and he will then find out the application of that “‘Promising Genius.” » HUMMER.

AUTOGRAPH QUILTS.-â€"â€"Am0ng the many ways of raising money for churches, the Autograph Quilt takes the lead.

For the sum of 10 cents, or as much more as one may think proper, y'0u1 name will be beautifully stitched, or sewed on a quilt. Now enterprisâ€" ing young .men have a show for immorality, and can assist the Churches at the same time. Meanwhile canvass- ing for names is going on at a lively rate. Whether the Ministers get the quilts, or they are put up for auction, to the highest bidder, has not yet been announced. HoLLowAY’s PILLS are admirably adapt- ed for curing diseases incidental to females.

For all the debilitating disorders incidental to the sex, and in every contingency perilous to the life and health of womanâ€"youthful or aged, married or single-this great regulator and renovator of the secretive organs and the nervous system is an immediate cure. Tlleir puri- tymg qualities render them invaluable to females at all ages.
