Mr. Blake's Retirement. It is again rumored that the Hon. Edward Blake will retire from the office of Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition. This step it is stated, is advised by his His health is impaired ; and the work and ideident to the position, are too much for him. In facet it is apparent—muset be apparent even to himself—that he is not fiited to lead men. He is a successful lawyer. this end he was bora. To thia eud he was trained. To this end he labore! during his growth and in his prime. caonot now, succeed in a position which he was not intended by nature, traiced, for which

His retiremeut will, we are sure, be deeply regretted by Sir John McDonald. He was a great help to Sir Johu. Heis a

Agricultural Education.

———

Tae Hon. Donald Ferguson has with-

out doubt given a great impetus to the|--[y my effort to maintain my position on

movement iv favor of Agricultural Edu- cation ia this Provinee; and, we are

pleased to note that his lecture on the | preserve my privileges, and fiually de-

subject has attracted a good deal of attention outside the Province. Concern- jag it, the Presbyterian Witness, of Halifax, says,—

“This is an eloquent and practical plea for Agricuitural Education. The island depends upoo agriculture for its prosperity The soil is good, and easily cultivated; the people are hard working and willing to learn. The great thing now is to learn the very best methods of cultivating the soil. No peo le need to be poor with’ sech a beautiful heritage = Edward Island. Mr. Fergueon’s lecture is fall of useful suggestions. We hope it will be read in every farmer's family in the Island and that it will stir up a spirit of mquiry, and a laudable ambition to excel.”

And the Christian Messenger says : —

‘Such a lecture as this is highly creditable to a high official in the Government of this emerald isle of the Western Continent —and our next door neighbor. It is highly proper thata province of farmers should have ove who is well versed in their pri-cipal ocewpa- tion to fill the important office the writer holds.

"The lecture is full of valuab'e information which wil! commend itself to practical farm- ers, aud give them new suggestions —the re- sults cf careful thouzht and patient investi- gation The writer is qite conscious that P, E Island is ‘a firs- 1s: stock and dairv country,” and sevks to incite his readers to make the most of their situation.”

Dalhousie Law School.

In cnother column will be fonnd a notice from the American Law Review ot the new law school, recently organized at Halifax. in connection with tle UWuni- versity above named, Coming as it does trom the leading periodical of the kind, it must go very far, not only to convince our pecple of the superioriiy of the school, but of the great progress we are makiog io al the branches of higher education. Halifex is called **slow ;” but the people move with great«caution and have no desire to throw away their finds over all kiud of wild-cat veotnres. When George Munro gave them 840.000 to fouud a Law Se.wool, the city authorities at ooce supplemented the gift in the most handsome mauuer by providing the schvol with splendid upartments ia the new Hizh School costing $60 000 By snbaciiprion and by vote of the Governor of the College av amount has beeu raised giving av aunual revenue to the scnool of at least $6,000. It is expected that durivg the summer this amount will be very cousiderably inereased ao that the school will begin its seeond year with an annual income of $10,000 and a library of at least 5.000 volumes.

Bu: the great iveitement to study is after all the facal:y—a corps of thorongh- ly traived aud enthusiastic teachers. In this respect the school is betrer equipped than ever in funds abd buildiog-. Dr. R. C. Weldon, the Deau of the Faculty, is a New Bruvswicker, a graduate of Yale College, where he studied under Woolsey Wheaton and the most learned lawyers in the United States. [le then repaired to the Continent where he studied usder B untchili and other dis- tinguished Europeaa professors. Oo ull sides itis admitted that he is better qualified to impart instruction in the classical and plulosophical branches of the law than any man io Canada. . If to his accomplishments we add a genuise teaching enthusiasm, it may be surmised that his influence op the legal profession ofthe Maritime Provinces will be very great.

Judge Thompson, of (the Supreme Court of Nova Seotia, is another of the lecturers. Not only is he néw' one of the ab! but it is doubtful if there ewer was @ min ai the Nova Seotia bar his superior, His Classes last year were atteudad by gradu- ates of Harvard, Yale and Columbia law schools and they wert aucpimous do the opinion that io ull

The Americon Law Review, which is published in St. Louis, and which ia the leading journal of its class in America, contaiis the following commendatory notice of the Halifax law school:

**A promising law school has lately been founded at Halifax. N. S. it owes its oriyin to the moniticence of Georye Manro, of New York, who devoted $40,000, to the feanding of it as a department of the University of Dalhousie. The founders of the school appear to have spared no eff rt to make it the wost successful law school in Canada Already it has fifty students and a library of some three thoueand volumes, some ot which, however, are duplicat s which are to be exchanged with other American and Canadian libraries. The schoo] occupies the large rooms in the highschool on Brunswick street, that to the right being devoted to a lecture and recitation room, and that to the left to the lirary and reading room. The principal of the school is R. C. Weldon, Esq., who, also, tills the George Munro chair of constitutional and international law. He is but thirty-five years of age, but has had large experience as an instructor. He appears to be a gentleman of vigor and energy, and it will conduee to the success of the echvol that so young a man is at its head. Another ‘ecturer of great popularity is the Hon. J. S. D. Thompson, a member of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. He is but thirty- nine years of age. Another earnest lec- ture? and worker in behal’ of the schoo) is Hon. 8. L. Shannon, WC ;DCL. He brings to his work the ripe experience which is plied in the sutenent that

he is sixty-tiv years of age, and has been « meuber ef the bur for forty five year-. He is judy» of pr bate for Halifax Wich him is «ss-ci-ied, as a lecturer on real | estate, James Tnompson, Q. C , sixty-ciyit | years .f ace, Wio enjoys a very. large practice in that department of the law, Another lecturer, Benjutin Russell, E-q., isa young mana ds enjoys the dis:inction of being a good short-hand writer, so good that he is able to make verbatim reports ot speecles, an accomplishment vot at all mean or to be desp'sed. He has been re- porter of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia and of the Provincial Legislature. Ue is recorder of Dartmouth and secretary

of the committee for revising the statues He is a forcible and fear- less =—swriter, and a clear aud vigorous lecturer. John Thomas Bol-

ner, E-q., is the librarian of the institu- tion. From asketch of him ina Halifax newspaper, we infer that he is the right wan in the right place ; for he is described AS & persistent agita‘or and a great book collector, Wallace Graham, Esq., lecturer in commercial law, is a lawyer in full prac- tice and one of the commissioners for e¢odi- fying the laws of the Dominion of Canada. Jobn Young Payzant, Esqr., likewise a lawyer in full practice, is lecturer on the law of torts. Robert Sedgewick, Q C., a rising young lawyer, is the leeturer on equity jurisprudence. Altogether this’ ap- pears to be a strong faculry. There are attending this law school two graduates and three geveral stadeots ef the Harvard law school. There is vo reason in the nature of things why the elements of a good legal education should uet be acquired by an American student in sweh a seh: ol. The systems of common law and equity are the samein both eountries; ana the mest that a few school can do, or profess té do, | is to indoctrinate students inthe leadirg | principles on’ jurisprudence. We know of | 0 place ou the coptinent that »ffords more | ehsrais for student life then “Halifax, [7 | is sitowted Gn a narrow bay extending twelve utes iuland fram the ocean, with | an iliuad st the émficr, which comptetedy
