We this week give further extracts from Mr. Pbipps’ work on the necessity of Preserving and Replanting Forests. We deem the matter worthy of the most serious consideration of the community, and trust the object and intention of the Local Government in calling for a work of the kind, will be fully and carefully met. Irrespective of politics, ereryone should be glad to aselst, if possible, in the attempt to preserve such valuable resources of our country: 1:0. 10: Whole No. 1310: Volume 26. "It is frequently said, "Ontario has plenty of forests; there is yet fifty per cent remaining ; let us attend to more important afiairs.” Most of the fifty per cent remaining might, so far as it is likely to benefit the older portions of On- tario, as well be in Greenland. Much ofit is in Algoma ; much more far in the Parry Sound or the Northwest Terri torv, where it will have little climatic influence here Or, it is said “some day; there is yet no need.” Now, in August is wheat harvest ; what would we think of one who said, “Oh, we don‘t need wheat till August; we shall look after it then, and sow some 1” But all agree that we shall some time need to grow forest in Ontario. It' so, now is late enough to plant, for before we reap that ‘crop, with seine trees twenty, some forty and some, seventy years must pass. It, is agreed that some time we shall regret more forest was not preserved. Ifso, it is none too early to see about it, for in a few years all worth preserving will be far beyond the reach of such an efiot‘t. Are We to sit down to make our musket when the enemy is charging up the slope? in a word. the great forest to the north and north east of Ontario, our principal forest reserve, as the one which feeds the sources ot'inosr of our streams east of Toronto, is likely, under present conâ€" ditions, to disappear much more rapidly than did the more heavy and more decid- uous woods in our older land. Thus, it appears to me, as one who has had considerable experience in clearing land, and much opportunity to observe the LlYCOlB, and who has since given much utudy to the question of' loss by over dis~ i'orcsting, and possibility of replantation, that the whole of Ontario is in great danger of heavy loss, unless action be in time taken by some authoritative and powerful hand.” In proof of this, a recent observing and intelligent traveller in Belgium gives the mode of' culture there, and the yield, which sometimes, with very favorable weather for harvest, reaches as high as 160 bushels per acre. This is one of the most fertile, prosperous, and most populous countries in the world, snpporn‘ mg 481.71 persons to the square mile, ageinbt 13.92 in the United States.

It has been ol'ten asserted by advanced sgrioulturists that ifwheat, either spring or winter, is sown in drills. far enough apart to admit of using a horse hoe beâ€" tween the rows, both to keep down weeds and loosen and aerate the soil, the yield might be increased to a marvelous extent more than it now is in this country. Winter wheat is a staple crop there on their high priced small farms of only an acre or two. The land is highly manurcd in Autumn, well harrowed sev> crul times, and got into the best possible condition. The grain is sown in the hall in seed beds, very thickly, at the highlicsl and best location. where it is not likely to be winter killed, or injured by any casualty, such as overflowing. drowning out, or smothering under the snow. In the Spring the main fields are again dressed up and marked out in drills the proper distance apart When the wheat, has grown sufiicicntly to he moved, it is thinned out by being taken up, separated from the thick stools. and planted in the drills with a tool called a dibble, which makes a hole the proper depth, into which the wheat rents are inserted. pressing the earth tight against them with the foot. This work is ustial- ly intrnsted to halfâ€"grown boys and girls, a man sorting out the wheat plants in order that those of the same size may be placed together. that the field may grow even and regular. It is asserted that such pains would not pay to apply to crops in this country But do we not go to the opposite exâ€" treme? It certainly would pay satisâ€" factorin if' applied to choice varieties in nmnll quantities, about to be used for 52:: . It is certainly better to till one acre and get. a crop now raised on four ;:::s,thanto?r5 tlm four and mi? Vaude‘rbm'g When the plants have commenced growing. the soil is thoroughly and conâ€" stantly stirred, either by means or hand or horse power. Every weed and all foreign plants are destroyed, and nothing but. what is wanted, the article itself, is allowed to grow There are very seldom any extensive failures of crops thus care- fully and scientifically grown. The yield isa quantity never imagined or heard ofin this country, and the crop always and surely pays the cultivation. (1(- i ’ Elie P‘flnrk gfimla. Avon Dunkisib‘ Rune u, \ unth~~IlE1xan ()flicn. How to Raise Big Crops NOTICE TO S UBSORIBERS. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS: U Riéhm‘ond HI"; Ohfx It 1883 a. Truth says : “There has been an agitation conm'wndexl with a vicw to bring the whole of the telegraphic system of the Country under the control of the \Canadian and United States Govern- ments. This, it is to be feared, would be out of the frying pan into the fire. It would not, and could not prevent strikes, while it would so add to the hordes of officeâ€"holders as to give ‘thc Governments, for the time being... any amount of opportunity for corruption and wrong- doing. 'Then the railways would also have to be‘bought up. Why. all this is just what Jay Gould and his conf'reres are working for. They hope to make “a big haul" and then they can go in for other Wave of moneymaking, just as sure and just as oppressive. Gov- ernment can do some things better than private enterprise Can. But other things it cannot, us all experience makes manifest.” Grip says : "Our sympathies are en- tirely and enthustastically with the tele- graph strikers. As we have often stated before, we abhor monopolists of every grade, and especially such heartless, money-bloated grabbers as Jay Gould. We learn with pleasure, that the monâ€" opoly in this case is likely to be beaten. With the best representative papers of both parties, we declare in favor of Govâ€" ernment control of telegraph lines, and w0uld also like to see the railways, one and all, put under the same auspices." The Ontario Boundary question should be settled. It is said business is sufferâ€" ing, and that the development of the re. sources of the country is hindered. There is no doubt there is nothing in it but a political squabble which should be brought to a close. The commercial in- terests of the country should not be alâ€" IOWed to suffer for the sake of trying to serve the interests of party. We are glad to learn the cholera in‘ Egypt is diminishing, and the recoveries increasing. The collapse of the native administration led to the Organization of a sanitary board that was virtually under English control. Dr. Chenside Was ap- pointed to work with the prefect of Cairo, and the latter was threatened with deposition if he were obstinate. 'l‘he importation of more doctors and Mahomedan hospital attendants from India, and the increasing number of English doctors encourages a belief that the epidemic will be now estranged. Fears prevail respecting Alexandria, which may yet be sconrged. The Wiarton Echo says : “Some of the boys and girls who parade the streets at 10 and 1] o’clock at night, ought 10 be caught bv their parents, well spanked, and put to bed." Pretty rough talk, but. perhaps he knows from experience. The question of the new school Readers will come befme our Board of Trustees, at the next meeting. Some are in favor of one series, and some of another being no ccpted. chsons are given by one party in favor of Messrs Gage’s books, because the prices of them are quoted cheaper; whereas another will tell you, Messrs Camry hell’s books are preferable, btcnuse the committee appointed by the Government to loot; into the matter. were satisfied they were the best in point of merit. and only accepted Gnge’s because they did not want the monopoly to be H) the hands of one firm ; and another will any that Campbell's books contnin more reading matter than Gage's. We notice from a circular before us. that the Royal Renders contain 1492 pages in the five books, to 1136 pages in‘ the others, that is 356 more pages of read--‘ ing matter than in Gnge’s; thev likewise contain 100 more illustrations This should be considered by those whose privilege it. is I to select sehool readers for our children, as. when once selected. no change can be made under eighteen months We should there-- fore advrse our school Board not to be too hasty in their nction, but let them take time in honestly making their minds tip. The present readers will very well do for ashort time longer. We think the Educational Depnrtment might have saved a great deal of trouble and annoyance to inspectors, teachers. and trustees, by taking the copy-- right ofthe school books into their own hand . and permitted all to print on certain conditions. However, it now only rests for those whose duty it is, to honestly select thel best. It is useless. in our opinion, to be continually changing school books. unless improvement is made in them. The pren' sent school readers are good. why change 7, perhaps fora worse set. It. rests, as we said before. With Trustees to do their duty in this respect. In connection with this it may not be out of plrce to quote part of the conditions of authorization, as published in the Globe of the 23rd July. as follows :â€"»“The period during which the old renders are allowed to remain on the list 01 authorized books be-- ing extended till August, 1885. In order to protect fully the interests of the public, it is stipulated that new books can be sub- stituted for older ones, within that. time. only by the teacher, on the approval of the public school Board, or the Board of Trus- tees. and after a series has once been adopt- ed no change will be allowed until after notice has been given for a year and a half.” Now there is nothing to prevent a gradual chanze of the books until the period allowed by law. For instance, the books in the third and fourth classes might. be changed now, and the second class nnd lower divis- ion books remain until next. year. The ex- pense by this mode would not come so hard upon the parents. It cannot be gainsayed that a continual change of school books is not beneficial to the scholars. Too much is left to the masters of the schools and too little control is exercised by the Board of Trustees who seem, as a rule, to be almost ruled, it may be, by those who may have a pecuniary interest in adopting certain books, in preference to others, and instead of mat- ters getting better, they appear to he get-- :imr r707 "VC‘T‘T year, to (he "at, detri- rna ‘xil in A The West Northumbcflnnd and East Elgin elemion petitions were brought up on Monday last, at Coburg and St. Thomas respcccivclv.

Some time is indeed devoted to recreation ; but there are hours --often the greater part of the twenty-four â€"which are sacred to the Moses. and many eminent men can testify that some of the hardest work ever done in their lives was done within the walls of Alma Mater. The “pale-browed student” is found in other places besides the sentimental novel _; "the midnight oil" is not altogether 3 thing of the imagination; n man’s head is sometimes wrapped in a wet towel for other reasons than to do away with the effects ofa spree; the rmtd to the delectable heights where dwell the shades of Fj't‘hagoras and Arcbt" modes is no roynl one; the followets of the old alchemysts find themselves touched here and there by many a bt’nning acid, and beâ€" wildered by many a curious combination ; the study of the earth’s autobiography is a path bestrewn with many a Binty stone and jagged rock ; the way through the fields of mental science is so often intersected that it seems all but impossible to follow its windin s ; the voyage from the shores of Hellas to those of Troy is sometimes stormy and protracted ; when entering a port by the way, nsncrifice must be occasionally mode to propi‘tmte the god of cribs, and, then; it. is no easy matter to sail safely by the dwellings of many syrens who sing sweet songs to litre the youthful voyager away from his course, and to bring him into their fatal embrace.

Though some of the following incidents may be amusing. (and though they may not be regarded as altogether compatible with the pursuits ofArt and Science. yet no one who knows anything about the life of a student, or considers how necessary a little relaxation is to his welfare. will be inclined to be severe on a man whoâ€"even while keeping his termsâ€"indulges now and then in some harmless frolic. Those, too, {rho know nothing of life spent in classic halls must not fancy that students spend much of their time in amusoment ; for although there is n sort of superstition to the effect. that college life consists to a great extent in prnmicnl joking by the men, such :1 notion When the course is finished. when conâ€"- vocation has come. when the dignitaries have assembled. clad in gorgeous cfl‘icml and academic robes, when the degrevmen have dropped on their knees before the chancellor, when the parchments have been given, when the prizes have been presented, when the last "conversad" is over. it is with a full heart, and often with a tear~dim- med eye that the last farewell is spoken.

Marooncy was shot dead by a companion with whom he had been having some words. From the statement of a maxi named Knowles, who was a spectator ofthe affair, it appears that Marooney had been walking down York street in company with two or three young men and a person who gave his name to the police as Charles An- drcws. He and Andrews were engaged in a seemingly quiet conversation until they arrived near the. corner of Pearl street, when it suddenly rose to an altercation, in which Marooney was heard to say, “Well, you mustn’t take any more liquor to-night,” or word's to that effect.
