PRINCIPAL:

Fhe Rev, John Padfield, ‘UiS SCHOOL offers, at very moderate

cost. the advantages of a comfortable and pleasant home together with a thoreugh and refined education,

The course of Instruction is the same as that of the best Schools in England and is founded upon the University Lxaminations for Women. Eight young ladies from this School passed the Local Examination of the University of King’s College in June last. This is the only School in Canada that has passed pupils at a University Examination.

The number of pupils is limited, rendering the school select, and while it possesses all the educational advantages of a large public school, each pupil is enabled to receive that individual care and oversight which is so important, and which cannot be given in a large establish- ment,

Mr. and Mrs, Padfield are assisted by a staff of four resident governesses, besides visit- ing masters.

Parisienne French is taught conversation- ally. There are two resident French Gov- ernesses,

References given to parents of pupils.

They met in many an anxious consultation, and their head- man, who might he called the Grand Old Muleteer—who had

grown gray in the inule traffic,and had heen buffeted by storm and tempest, until his long visage resembled that of the Knight of the Ruefal C ountenance, immortalized and portrayed by the pen of Cervantes— harr: angued them in excited language. ‘¢ We cannot permit this intruder to inter- fere with ns,” he shouted; ‘‘it is progress in a direction that we do not believe in

Let us all turn ont, mules, donkeys and all, range ourselves on the track on the opening day, and prevent the passage of a train.” Well, sir, they dressed themselves in their best velvet jackets and silver-buttoned trousers, and crimson sashes and bread sombrercs, and invited all their neighbors and friends to accompany them and see the glorious triumph of principle. They selected as the place of operations a difficult pass in the moutains, on a heavy upward grade, with ravines and _precipices on ecach side of the track. The engine, decked with flags and wreaths, drawing a long train of carriages filled with the chief personages in the Gd¥ernment and their Fries ids, came rushing on, when the en-

gineer discovered at some distance ahead,

a) on the track, an immovable mass, which,

on a nearer a} proach proved to be a con- course of six or seven hundred muleteers,

mounted on their faithfnl animals, whose more than Roman firmness is sometimes stigmatized as obstinacy. Their tails were turned towards the approaching train, and the gaunt form of the chief could have been seen in characteristic position, a leader in the rear of his party, astride of the big- gest mule, with the longest ears of the whole, and with feet thrust in the largest stirrups. in vain the signal was rung and the whistle screamed, the “mules kept their position and the train came toa momentary pause. The engineer then, upon a brief consultation with the manager, backed down to a con- venient spet, uncoupled his engine from the train, opened the throttle valve, and at full speed rushed into the obstructionists. It was mere than — or drivers had bar- gained for, there was a general stampede, and meat was abundant: in that vicinity for some time afterwards. The road was successfully opened for trafic and trains have been running regularly ever since. This is an illustration of the ob- stacles presented to the National Policy by hon. gentlemen opposite. They are trying to stop the Government train, but 1 am afraid if they persist, that mule-meat will be plentiful for the next few months.

fr. Huen Grtxis, farmer, of Hay River, was drowned at McInnis’ Cove, North Shore, on Saturday last, while on his way frem Souris. A man named McPhee had started before Gillis to go home on the same route. McPhee’s horse fell through the ice, and while he was away to procure aid, the sleigh of Gillis came up and went into the open hole. When Mr. McPhee’s party came down, they feund two horses and sleizhs in the water. Both were taken out. The body of poor Gillis was found on Sanday in six inches of water.

To the Editer of the pe

Sur,—It appears that our Legislature pfo- pose reviving the bi-monthly sessions of the County Vourts. ‘This is a retrogade step and an upwise one at best, for so far from provin an advantage to the public, I feel satisfi that it will increase litigation and impose ad- ditional burdens om that class of persons who are least abie to bear them. In fact, we have, as if is, too many sittings of those courts for the good of the country. The more oppor- tunities exist for petty law suits, the greater will be the demoralizing effect on the commu- nity. Besides this, the machinery of the Coun'y Courts is quite teo cumbersome and quite too expensive to apply to disputes—un- fortunately very numerous—involving.claims ranging only from one to ten dollars, Cases of this description shenld not be brought in the County Courts at all. The costs are wholly ont of all reasonable proportion to the cebt or demand. kaw suits of this class should be relegated to icss expensive tri- buuals fer disposal, and there shonld be one of such tribunals. established in each town- ship of the Island and be presided over by persons.of good standing and intelligence,

Justice would then be easily accessible to that large number of suit- ors and witnesses who have now to travel from remote parts of the country to attend the cireuits of the County Courts, in prose- cution and defence of the innumerable petty squabbles that oceupy so mueh of the time of these Courts.
