that it should now merely a common. Aldermen had not awakened to the neces sity of having a Keeper earlier in the year; and it may be that this is a case In which it is not ‘‘better late than never ” Practi- cally, the season at the Park is now over, and it will be useless to do anything to it except it may be to gather up the fraginents which remain after a summer's neglect. ce .

Tue result of the recent examination at Prince of Wales College and Nermal Scho ] is worthy of a passing note. In the first place, the lvading— tip top— beys and girls came from the country and had no previous instruction in our city schools. This shows the advanteze of sending out into the rural districts first-class teachérs It is also in part to be accounted for in the superiority ef the country as a place for study. In the country there are few of the diversions and distractions which necessarily retard the progress of city students; and the country bey or girl has, consequently, a better opportunity to become “‘well ground- ed,” and to advance in the path of learning than his or lier city competitor. Another peint to be noted is the fact that,of the city pupils, the girls were more successful than the boys. The girls obtained both the city schularships—Charloite McNeill and Ella McMurray being the successful competitors. The city girls who passed were equal in number with the city boys, and in the examinatio: they rank. fully as high as their masculine competitors, if not higher. The boys will certainly have to look to their laurels. Both the girls who won the scholarships, and nearly all the girls who passed the « xamination, have, we observe, been pupils of Miss Smith, of Prince Street School. If ‘‘ payment for results” were the principle on which teachers were paid, Miss Smith would, we believe, receive a salary at least equal tothat of any other teacher in the City Schools; and we trust that the School Board may now see their way clear (0 remedy the injustice pointed eut by us at the time of the midsummer examinations. In conmenting upen the Prince Street School, we then said: ‘This is, we believe, the largest school in the town, and the work done in it is certainly second to none of the others. Yet we see by the accounts that the Principal does not receive anything like the remuneration given to the principals of the other Schools. We assume that the reason the Board of School Trnstees have not given . any prizes this year is, that with the amount thus saved, they may, in respect to salary, put Miss Smiti: on a level with Mr. Gaul and Mr. Miller.”

Facis for One-Sided Free Trade Believers.

{i one-half what is spoken and written by fanatical and philosophical Free Traders were trae, we might expect to find Free Trade England the most prosperous and happy country in the world. We clip the fellowing from a late English paper—a leading Cobdenic Free Trade journal--the Rochdale Observer. It will be remembered that Richard Cobden, the great Apostle of Free Tracie, died member of Parliament for the borough of Rochdale: —

**Heigho, poor Rachda!” sighs an old weaver, imourning for the good eld brisk times. And in truth a sad contrast would strike any one now who had left Rochdale some twenty years ago, before the cotton famine, for in those days dong business meant making money, and that at an al. mest fabulous rate. Over-production was not invented, depression was undreamt of, and short time would have been thought a joke. ‘here was then no doubt about margin, for protits were evidently only limited by the rate of production. Men who began with nothing soon made a com- petency; those who had moderate means quickly «massed great wealth. Within a short lifetime the town had altered wonder- fully; mills and works were quickly built, extended, and multiplied—not by ‘‘com- pany money,” for in those days limiteds were unknown, but by money mace in the

town lately ; in place of increasing we see mills standing altogether, or running short time, or ‘‘slack set up,” ‘* waiting for weit,” part of the machinery idle, and pro- duction crippled as much as possible. he downfall of old Rochdale firms, the decline in wages, the increase of pauperism, the failures among tradesmen ot all classes, the yreat quantity of property standing empty —all point one way. ‘* The times are owl of joint ” with a vengeance, and the wages disputes de not mend matters. iu trades like cotton and iron ene might expect this, but when the old-fashioned, steady woollen industry is upset, and out-of-the-way, quiet Wardle is the scene of a struggle for which levies are made from Newhey to Ashworth Moor, trom Blackstone Edge te Castleton, what will be the end of these things! 5o

weather for harvest, witheut which there can be no good home trade. In woollen, which depends principally upon the home demand, and which ought now to be at its busiest, it is agreed that so dull a June and July have scarcely ever been known. With- in the last few weeks a firm sold out the machinery from their mill, giving up card- ing and spinning in order to buy continent- al yarns; and now the largest of eur flan- nel mills are being put on short time.

i — Notes from Fort Augustus.

(Written for the Nxamiter).

As there is every prospect of an early and abundant harvest, and as the potato crop is hastening to maturity and promises to be bountiful and of superior quality, I would strongly recommend our Island traders, real merchants, our neighbors from the sister Provinces, or ovr American friends, to send their vessels, direct, to Hickey’s or Hagarty’s wharves, East River, say about the Ist October next, and they will be sure to get superior cargoes at rea- sonable prices. totally. dependent upon a few commission gobblers fur the sale of our surplus pro- duce, whe were ever on the alert to seram- ble for other's geods and profits. Our armers have become tired of such gentry. They find these ‘‘subs” more ofticious than their employers. In fact, generally speak- ing, petty merchants or middle-men have become almost as obnoxious as the pestifer- ous shoddy pedlars, or the surreptitious atlas agents. Those three worthies are rapidly dying out, though like other creatures of bad repute and low vital powers, they take a good deal of killing.

pist, for I believe they are the bane of commerce and the curse of trade.

Coal traders and fishermen might obtain a profitable exchange for their commodi- ties by visiting these wharves, as fuel has become very scarce within the last fow
