SCHOOL MATTERS IN I, E. ISLAND:
It unfortunately happens that the domi nant party in our sister Province has not possessed the requisite discretion to so trame the Free School measure as to avoid giving oftence to the Catholic population One or two compulsory clauses have been inserted in the Act which have caused much complaint, and we understand that petitions have been presented to the Can- adian Government, and it is not unlikely we shall have a repetition of the New Brunswick difficulties in the House of Commons,
We are quite sure that these Educational matters should be left entirely to the Loca! authorities, and we always regret having them introduced into the Upper Parlia- meut, for they assume an importance and magnitude when brought before the whole country that they would never be able to attain if disposed of within the borders of the Province in which they arise, The Constitutional power of the Local Legislax tures to legislate on the subject of educa~ tion most fully has been settled undoubt« edly by the highest authorities in the Em- pire,
But while we say this, we are free to af- firm that it is an unwise policy for any Local Government to insist on little ex- tremes, which do more than the general principle in exciting unpleasant feelings 1a New Brunswick, the measure adopted for the regulation of the Common School system was substantially the same as that in force in this Province; but while here it has worked amicably snd well, in New Brunswick it created intense bitterness and ilsfeeling, and threatened to distract the whole country. The different results were occasioned by tie mode of working. Here some concessions were made to the Catho- lic population which in no way interfered with the efticient working of the system. and at the same time secured a most ex- harmony. There some obnoxious and un necessary details were insisted upon which in no way improved the rystem and caused infinite trouble and bickering. The diffi. culty was only quieted by the adoption o/ & more conciliatory policy, and now mat- ters are working more pleasantly and satisfactorily.
We hope our P. E. Island friends will take a lesson from the experiences of the two larger Provinces, and aim tv meet the wishes of ail classes as far as may be con- sistent with the efficient working of tie Act. We have no hesitation in saying, it would be more manly and statesmanlike for the Re nt Government io KolUn aE repeal the obnoxious Clatises and save the necessity for a bitter struggle which cap by no possibility result in any good either to the cause of Education or to the general welfare of the Island. — Acadian Recorder.
THE BLUE LAWS.
The Mail publisbes the famous Blue Laws of Connecticut as a warning to the Dunkinites against the finaticisim of ex- We do not think that the Dunkin Act goes in the same category, but we give then asa cu- riosity. Here they are:

The Seventh-Day Baptists baye recently been prosecuted in a town in Central Penn: sylvania for working on Sunday, They de- fended themselves by pleading that their religion taught them to observe the seventh day, and that the use of “the First Day of the Week” is an unrighteous innovation, never sanctioned »y Scripture.
At a recent convention, held by the Jews in New York says an exchange, the following statistics were reported. There are in this country 250,000 Jews, who are divided into three thousand congregations. They own five hospitals, six orphan asys lums and three institutions for poverty stricken aged Israelites, The value of the synagogue property is $6,000,000. ‘They publish fifteen papers and periodicals, some weekly, and others monthly. The oidest Jewish congregation in America ix the one at New York called Shearith {srael, and was organized in 1684; the next in age is the Lancaster, Pa.,, congregation, 1776; and then comes the Philadelphia church, 1780.
A lifting match came off§ between two men at Eureka, Nevada, recently, for a prize of $200, the winner to be the one who could lift a fifteen pound dumbbell at arm’s lentgth the greater number ot times. (ne man’s strength ‘gave out when he had raised the weight 1,130 times, but the other scored 1,/44 without ex. hausting his strength.
The drinking saloons of Sacramento have odd names, and a knowledge of that fact renders intelligible the following report ot a police officer to his captain: ‘ [ looked in at the Hole in the Wall’ but she wasn’t there; heard she had been in Noah's Ark
but had lit out; then | prospected the Iron Jaw and the Woodpecker’s Nest, but did'nt have any better luck.

A singular chapter of calamities occurred at Sharon, Pa., a few days ago, and as it teaches well the evil consequences of rashness, it is worth repeating, A young lady named Miss Kate McGilvery was out driving, when on State Street she desired to pass a wagon ahead of her, She called out to the driver to turn aside so that she could pass. [le was a deaf. infirm old man. named Bell, and at first did not hear what she said, but after asecond or third cai! did as requested. Misunderstanding Mr. Bell's delay, the young lady on her arrival at home told her father that the old man had tried to frighten the horse. Mr. Mc. Gilvery is very impetuous, and this made him so angcy that he started down town to find Mr. bell. He met him in front of a store, and, without warning, knocked him through the window, cutting his head badly though not seriously, Mr. Bell was removed to his residence, and his son Richard was so maddened by his father’s condition that he determined to punish his assailant. He found him in front of the very store where the first assault had been made, and picking up a two-pound brass weight be hurled it at Mr. McGil- very’s head, fracturing his skull. The wounded man died in a few hours. Miss Kate, the innocent cause of all the trouble, has lost her reason, and is now a raving maniac, though her physician has slight hopes tha: she may recover from the shock.
June 30, after a three months’ session, The Levant Herald, hitherto most pro-| nounced in vindication of the Porte, has denounced the inefficiency of the Assem- bly, and two days afterwards was sup- pressed.
