THE sum realized by the sale of tickets for the fair and exhibition was $550 —at 10cts. a ticket—and it wp safe to say that hundreds entered by way of the fence with- out paying anything. Would not the erec: tion of a suitable exhibition building, with

grounas, etc., pay !

Generat Hancock has been interviewed in regard to a published letter purporting to have been written by one of his military family, in which it is stated that the design in nominating Hagcock was to make ‘ that Indiana disunionist, Wm. H. Englsih, the real President, as Hancock is not expected to live out a fraction of his term, he hav- ing already shown strong symptoms of apoplexy.” General Hancock says the story is a canard; that no such letter has been written; that he never had any apoplectic aymptoms in his life, and that barring a slight cold, he is enjoying most excellent

health.

Svucu authorities as the Hon. Mr. Prowse and L. HU. Davies, Esq., to the contrary notwithstanding, we think a stringent law for the preservation of our fisheries should be rigidly enforced. Why have our rivers been depleted? Why are we now export- ing inferior oysters at 90cts. a barrel? Simp- ly because our rivers and oysterbeds have been left unprotected, and fishermen have been permitted to work their will upon them. ‘Thus two sources of wealth in our fisheries - eare, might be preserved to all gonerstions

Teachers’ Convention.

Urwarps of one hundred and _ thirty Teachers and others interested in educa- tion assembled in the Hall of the Upper Prince Street School at 3 o'clock, p. m., yesterday, for the purpose of organizing a Provincial Educational Association. D. Montgomery, Esq., Supt. of Education, presided.

A Committee on Credentials was ap- pointed, consisting of Neil McLeod, Sum- merside ; John McSwain, Charlottetown ; Ewen Stewart, Georgetown; John McRae, Summerside; and J. D. Seaman, Charlotte- town.

A Committee on Organization was ap- pointed, composed of Neil McLeod, Sum- merside; Thomas McKinlay,Charlottetewn; A. Deuonis, Margate; Ewen Stewart,George- town; J. D. Seaman, Charlottetown; John McSwain, Charlottetown; Henry Harper, Kensington.

Neil McLeod, Hgq., and N. A. Stewart, Esq., briefly addressed the Convention on the benefits to be derived by the members of a profession uniting themselves together for mutual improvement.

Tho first subject for discussion in the Convention was then opened by Miss Maria Lawson, Charlottetown, in an admirable essay on “ Honesty in School and the best means of promoting it.”” After referring to the prevailing dishonesty in the world, as exemplitied in the merchant and politician of the present day, the pre- vailing forms of dishonesty amongst schol- ars were noticed, such as theft, truancy, shirking of work, &c. The use of the Merit Card, as at present practised in our schools, was regarded as a means by which dishonesty was encouraged amongst the pupils. For the cure of dishonest prac- tices on the part of pupils, example must accompany precept—the teacher must be

thoreugly honest. No summary report

can do justice to the excellent paper read by Miss Lawson, and we hope to publish it in full.

An animated discussion followed, and was partakon in by John McRae, Summer- side; W. Heard, Esq., Charlottetown; Rev. Dr. Murray, Charlottetown ; L. Mil- lar, Esq., Charlottetown; A. A. McKen- aie, Esq., E. Reach, Esq., P. R. Bowers, Prof. Anderson, A. Deunis, Esq., and H. D. McEwen.

‘There was a large attendance at the pub- lic meeting last night in the Hall o* Prince Street School—in fact the Hall wa: packed. The opening ehorus “ Weleome,” sung by the children of Prince Street Schoool, was followed by an admirable

Bart the work of educating the mind may be likened to the clearing away of the brush which surrounds a living spring— digging about it, of the stream which

But many of the “higher _ branches, such as Latin, Greek and the Mathematics, are valuable to the generality of mankind, chiefly because grappling with the difficul ties which the study of them present 1s as gymnastics to the mind, As a means of training they are invaluable; and they make a mistake who suppose that the time expended in studying them is lost. Mr. Hodgson combatted the prevalent idea that education relieves a man of the necessity of hard Jabor. Instead of this, it merely enables a man or woman to work harder. He thought the. teachers of the Island could not do better than impress the minds of the pupils that to work truly and hon- estly at their several callings of life is noble. The number of yeung men who, after receiving a good education, leave the farms for the towns, is, nowadays, remark- able. A” majority of these young men make avery serious mistake, as they will sooner or later discover to their cost. He advised parents to take an interest in the schools, and to carefully train their children at home; for it is a mistake to sup- pose that parents relegate their duty in this respect to the teachers. Instead of this, their children are in school as mirrors by means of which the teacher may know what kind of a home they have made and what
