R. obtains possession ofthe road the C. P. R. will build a new line north, starting from Claremont, a station on the Ontario and Quebec division thirtyâ€"four miles east of Toâ€" ronto, running due north and to the east of Lake Simcoe, and striking the independent line, the N. & P. J., at Gravenhurst. This would involve the construction of 100 miles of road through agood country, at a cost of $10.000 per mile.‘ This new line of the 0.13.11. would be shorter than the Northern and run through the townships of Uxbridge, Brook, Thorah. Mara and Rama in Ontario County; The C. P. R. will also build their new line from Toronto to fthenNiagara River as soon as the Northern. and Northwestern becomes a hostile road.

By this we mean that; to declare for the abolition of custom houses and the collection of revenue by direct taxation would not be a. proposition within the range of practical politics. It would have too disturbing an effect upon the various industries of the country and would not be acceptable to the masses of the people. The Halifax Chronicle, Grit, does not fall in with the Toronto Globe’s free- tradeâ€"andâ€"‘direct-taxation mustâ€"face-the -music policy. The Chronicle says : But the Chronicle has a policy for its party, a policy that is warranted to keep in any climate, guaranteed not to cut in the eye, and protected from counterfeit, by having the name blown in the bottle. This is the Chronicle’s policy : At the same time, it must; be kept in mind that. the most thorough remedy for the existing condition of affairs in Canada is found in a system of unrestricted conti-- nental free trade, and this element ought to be kept, constantly in view in framing a fiscal policy for the Liberal party. This great work may not be accomplished to- day or next year, but is bound to be ac" complished. IL is the mission of the Lib-- eral party to accomplish it and it should be understood that “unrestricted reciprocity with the United States ” is essentially and emphatically the policy of the Liberal party. a.-u-n.. n-. 5.1 u, A Good!

In the evening; there was a large gathering in which IIeadt‘ord and the Square were- well represented. After the opening ex ercises, Rev Mr Simpson addressed the children. and gave them an admixture of amusement and instruction which eviâ€" dently delighted them very much. and proved interesting and pleasing to the adult portion of his audience. The several familiar Scriptural events which he graphically portrayed were readily recognized and named by the scholars, Mr Hopper was the next speaker and his address was to the parents and guardians of children. He showed clearly the power which example exerâ€" cised over, the minds of children, and pointed out the great responsibility deâ€" volving upon those whose lives were likely to be taken as patterns by the rising generation. He said “9:0 the ‘right way yourself and your children will follow," and strongly emphasized the necessity of parents and teachers leading a consistent religious life.

They cannot be accnSed of making many or ol't de- mands upon the pockets of the public in the shape of teaâ€"meetings or concerts. They meet together for public worship but once on each Sunday of the year, and then the amount cast into the treasury may be likened unto the widow’s mite for smallness. The congregation is requested to attend a missionary meetan but once a year. Last Friday night being the time fixed on, when the hour arrived about two dozen mét toâ€" gether one third of these not being the usual attendants of the church. The labor and fatigue of meeting together once one day in the week may be the excuse of some, others may have had previous engagements. AddreSSes were delivered by the Rev. Mr. Morley, of Tullamore, and the Rev. J. P. Lewis, of Grace Church, Toronto. Both ad- dresses were listened to by those present by marked attention and a very interâ€" esting time was spent.

ENCOURAGING.--lVe are glad to notice that the local press of the country are callingr attention to the unnecessary and expensive practice of centinual changes being- made in the use of books in the High and Public schools. A practice we have no hesitation in saying that is fraught with mischief to the scholar and the teacher And a halt in this direction is desirable not only for the benefit of the pockets of the parents but also for the benefit of the brains and health of the young. JOINING THE PPEAOHER.â€"â€"- Many persons join the preacher instead of the church. If the preacher pleases them they “ill support the church and be regular in'their attendance on the means ofgrace; but if they do not like the preacher, their places in the house of God are vacant, their contributions are withheld, and what influence they have is practically thrown against the church. Such persons are unstable as water, no reliance can be p‘a’ced on them. you never know when to trust them, and the more numerous they are the worse it; is for the cause. The church is greater than the preacher. L” the preacher is not what we could desire, for the sake of the church we should be mare Faith~ ful, and endeavor, so far as We can, to make up for his lack. - Preachers may come and go, but the church remains, and for her our tears should fall and our prayers continually ascend. Whether youlike the preacher or not. stand by the churchâ€"Recorder. Mr. Frank Button, of Aurora, formerly of Buttonvillv, has beon quite ill for (L length of time, but is now convalescent.
