annual meeting

Since the date of the last Report, nine schools have been supplied with black- boards, one with a map of P. E. Island. seventeen with maps of the World. and twenty-seven with maps of Canada. There are thirty schools in which new blackboards are needed ; twenty-six require new maps of the W orld, and ninety-eicht are without maps of the Dominion This want of ap paratus is to be ascribed rather to the diffi enlty Trustees find in collecting the amounts voted at the annual meeting, than to un- willingness on the part of rate-payers to | make provision for necessary schoel reqni- | sites. In many districts there remains at | the close of the school year a part of the as- | sessment which Trustees have been unable to collect.

With few exe p ions, there is a marked improvement in the grading of pupils over list year There is less inclination shown |

The Laws and J. P's.

Dear Str,—I read with pleasure the other day that our Local Legislature had voted a sum sufficient for the consolidation

of our laws. The present unsa isfactory iwrangement of the laws is often most embarrassing to Justices of the Peace.

Local and Dominion Statutes are so mixed vp that it would puzz'e a Philacelphia Lawyer, let alone an ordinary Magistrate, t interpret them aright. No wonder blunders are constantly oceurring. A book f laws, especially relating to the cases in which Justices of the Peace have jurisdic- ion, with suitable notes for their guidance, should be compiled for their information ind benefit. Very few Magistrates have the Criwinal Statutes of Canada; and how can they, therefore, be expected to properly administer laws with which they are wholly unacquainted {

| would also suggest that a new and re- vised list of the names of Justices of the Peace for the Island be issued. Many of ‘he names now on the roll should be erased. The namer of those who are dead, es well as those who have refused or neglected to be sworn in should be at once struck off the list.

Yours, ete., a, 3s

Porators.—The American markets do not show any signs of improvement, 60c. to 65c. in Boston is a fair quotation for Blues New York market is over- stecked, and it may be some time before there is any improvement in prices there. Biues are hard to sell, and prices realized Early Rose and Prolifics command much better prices always. Farmers should consult their inter- ests and plant the most saleable kinds

FLrourn—Prices are unchanged. Liver- pool advices of May 3rd, report wheat and corn firm.
