Leon Gmnbenm, France’s greatest statesumn and patriot, "nassed away on Sunday night, Dec. 31st, ’82. His do- cease caused intense excitement, though it. was not unexpected. His 1053 is uni- versaliy bewuiied, but France alone will really be conscious of the loss of a man whu had his cuuntry’s welfare at heart. \Ve have lmen repeatedly asked the questions “ To what extent is he Head Master of the High School is responsible for the failure uf Entrance Examination candidates,” and " To what; extent. has he control of the result of those Exam- inations.” These qnvstiuns have been answered as fullows : rl‘he papers are first read by the Head Master, then forward- ed to the Public School Inspector, whose duly it is to see that the papers have bueu properly read and marked. They are then forwarded to the Education De- partment: where they are aguirl road by THE CONVENTION. The Liberal Convention held in Toron- to last week was one uf lihe largest. the inost significant and altogether the grand- est, assembly of able and represeinative men that has ever been witnessed in the Dominion of Canada.

Sir Jnhn Mucdunuld, Meredith (f: 00., are coutinunily trying to impress the public with the idea that the territory in dispute between Ontario and the Domin. ion is a waste, barren ()r useless tract of country, not worth fighting over“ This, hmvvver, is not the case.

We uh: indebted to the Globe for the fuiimxing stva‘ement : ' @Fflifiheml. 12 1883 Great and important changes have takâ€" en place in connection with the Globe during the past few weeks. It is natur- ally to be expected that the enemies of the Globe and the party whose interests it advocates would embrace the opportun- ity of making the public believe that the change was for the Worse, and that the result of it would be the destruction of the moral standing and influence of the Journal. The efforts of the lliail and its evening reprint, the News, have proved abortive in the accomplishment of this end. Mr. John Cameron, late of the London Advertiser, who succeeds Mr. Brown as lvIanagino: Editor,is a man who will continue to make the 030120 a power for good on all moral questions, though as a, journalist, Mr. Brown’s equal woJld be hard to find. He is one of the few men who will stand or fall by the con- viction of his own consciencn. Mr. Cameron, though lacking the ripe ex- perience of Mr. Brown, is one of the ablest Journalists of our times, and by 'he change the Globe will luse none of its prestige, and its rapidly growing popu- larity will in no way decrease. Mr Brown still remains a director of the Company, Hon. David Mills, formerly _a. member of the Mackenzie Government, and an able and experienced Journalist, succeeds Mr. Cameron in the editorial chair of the London Advertiser. ' His popularity is as wide as the rang his acquaintanceship, and wherever I known he is resprected. His cliaract unimpeachablo either socially or polit ly. \Ve hope his services are avail and that the Globe 11nd foundation f‘i statement, as no better man could found. (From our own Correspondent.) ACCIDENT.â€"â€"0n New Year’s Day Mr. Geo. Compens eldest son was badly kicked on the head by one of the horses, while leading them to water.

CHRISTMAS Tunaâ€"The Anniversary of the Kleinburg C. M. Sabbath r“(311001 was held on the 22nd ult. The principal; at- tmchon of the occmiou was at Christ- mas Tree, ladened with presents, not only for the members of the S. Schoul, hut. for many of the friends as well. Among the many nice presents an the flea was a. very handsome teacher’s Bible, :1. gift from the S. S, Teachers to the Sauerintcndem of the School. There was afisu on the tree MISSIONARY MEETING.â€"-The Mission~ my Meeting: held on the 201.11 111b.,' in the C. M.

If the Xmas Tree’was the medium of as much pleasure to each one present, as it was to your correspondent, it will not soon be forgotten. (From our own Correspondent.) Lumi’s Carriage Works have been very bmy since winter set in. They have turned \ ut some very nice cutcers and sleighs. Xmas Day was rather dull here.

A young man living, not far from this 10w“, made a slight mistake, a few Sun- day evenings ngu, by commencing to go home with another young man’s gix l, from church.

In seems that. he was on tne down train from King ntation, and when opposite Mr. Nixon’s gate he was xeen to walk out of the car dnor and dis- appear. A brakesman standing near by saw him full. but could not catch him. The train, which was running about 40 miles an hour at this pniut, was stopped as soon as possible and went back to see what had become of him.
