Tue following letter was received some ‘days ago. Its publication was deferred, in | the hope that more of the same tenor would have been received ere this :—
To the Editor of the Examiner:
Dear Str,—I have the honor to report _ that, in compliance with a request of the City | School Board, I examined, on Thursday, June |27th, the department presided over by Mr. | Michael ,W. Smith, in Queen Square School. The pupils read very well, Mr. ‘smith taking special care that they pronounced correctly. A majority of the pupils spelled, without a mistake, words of two syllables, while very few errors occurred in a dictation exercise. Great proficiency was shown by the arithmetic class in the working of the elementary rules. The neatly written copy-books that were shown me, together with the drawing and singing exercises, were creditable to all con- cerned.
By request of the Secretary of the School Board, I also visited, for a short time, Mr. McDonald’s department. ‘The exercises were very creditable, indeed, to such young pupils.
A noticeable feature was the teaching of geometrical definitions by means of figures carved out of wood. On the whole, Messrs. Smith and McDonald appear to be doing good work and to possess, in an eminent degree, the art of imparting to the pupils, in the best pessible manner, the knowledge which they themselves possess. Yours, &c.,

Canadian Credit Abroad.
Said a prominent manufacturer of Birming- ham to the writer not a month ago: ‘‘ Our trade extends to most of the colonies and to nearly all the civilized countries of the world, but of all the people with whom we have traded, Canadians have proved of late years the least satisfactory. Owing to the great competition with the United States, we are obliged to sell in that market with but little profit, in order to retain our customers. And during the past three years nearly every new Canadian account has been unsatisfactory. Our goods have usually been sold at ninety days, and after they are delivered it sometimes takes months to get an acceptance. Paltry excuses are often made about the goods not being what were expected, etc,, and some- times we are obliged to make further con- cessions in order to get our bills accepted. But all this we could submit to if the accept- ances were ouly paid when due. Indeed if we except a few old, respectable and prompt houses, our Canadian bills are rarely paid when due. <A renewal for one-half the amount is asked, and when granted it takes from six to nine months to get our money, and not un- frequently the matter ends with a compromise. Why, even the Spaniards, bad as they are, we find have more regard for their word, and we would rather sell them goods than Canadians, who in the last few years seem to have lost all sense of business promptness and honor. We (as an example of this) now have a letter from a firm pressing us to furnish more goods when their last bills is overdue, and we have since learned that they are attempting to com- promise in a neighboring town. I tell you that Canadian merchaatsare perfectly demoralized.” —Monetary Times.

The Plough and the Yardstick.
The rush of farmers and their sons, as well as others engaged in industrial pursuits, to get away from these, and into store-keeping and such ‘‘light’” employments, so-called, has heen often wondered at. Whatever the im- pelling cause, the result has been, of late years, in Canada, to demonstrate to any who had the sense to see it, that not only was theré no profit in the business for the inexperienced, but that there was assuredly hard work, a good deal of worry, and almost certain loss in the outwardly attractive employment of store keeping. It has been found in the States that the young folks are leaving the farm in un. warrantable numbers, and amongst the reasons for the exodus, the following are given, in an exchange, by a writer who has thought some- what of the subject of how to keep the boys on the farm :—
Farmers’ boys are human. and just as long as the present tread-mill system of farming is pursued, just so long will they crowd into cities that are already fnll to overflowing, and stand behind counters at starvation salaries, or to try to elbow their way into professions that afford only one chance in ten of making a living. Farming, as conducted by a great many, is a perfect drudgery. If a farmer owns a good farm and has three or four sons, or five or six (which very often happens), in- stead of contenting hmmself with enough, he imagines he hasn’t half land enough for the boys, so he buys another farm and goes in debt for it. Then commences the struggle to pay interest and meet payments. The farmer works and his family work. ‘They have no time for recreation and inclination for it. The house goes uupainted and the yard fence tumbles down. Improvements cost time and money, and the farmer who is in debt can spare neither. Is it strange that boys, and girls too, become weary of a pursuit out of which all the brightness seems to be crushed, There is no reason why a farmer’s life and a farmer’s home should not be just as pleasant as anyone's, if he will content himseif with- out owning all the land that joins him. Instead of trying to buy out his neighbors, he should devote some of his spare cash to the uaprovement of his home. He should have beoks and music and pictures, Whenever farmers’ sons and daughters can have more of the pleasant things in life, as well as the toil and self-denial, then, and not till then, will they be satistied to stay on the farm and help to make it what it really is (if rightly conducted), the most pieasant of all pursuits.

The ‘‘ Patriot’s” sims are finding him out. Here is Mr. Perry at the Tignish meeting de- nouncing the ‘ Patriot” as a ‘‘ miserable sheet—a ‘* circulator of slanders against the French People;” and here is the ‘‘ Patriot” in town recommending Mr. Perry as an excel- lent representative. There must be a mis- understanding somewhere. — Herald,

The reading of the text of the treaty was commenced at the Congress yesterday, the material portion of the work having been got through. The treaty will, it is said, be signed on Saturday.
France has been trying to make Russia see that an abandonment of the latters Asiatic annexation scheme would be better than allowing the occupation of Cyprus by Great Britain.
Having in view the piles of rusty steel rails that are scattered over the country, the St. John Telegraph said last week :-~ ‘‘ We are disposed to blame Mr. Mackenzie for administering the Department of Public Works and that of First Minister.”
Tue Orange demonstration in this city passed off without an incident. The most painful part of the affair was the appearance of so many young Canadian lads dressed in regalia. They incur a fearful responsibility who educate their children to imitate the intolerant follies of a benighted ancestry. — Ottawa Herald,
We are asked for certain if Perry and Yeo voted in the Dominion Commons granting an amnesty to O’Donaghue. We auswered that not only did Perry and Yeo give their vote against Mr. Costigan’s motion, but every re- presentative in the Commons at that time (1876) voted in the same direction. Here are the names taken from Hansard :—Against the motion Laird, Sinclair, Davies, McIntyre, Perry Yeo.— Herald.
La Minerve says of M. Joly’s economyo —‘‘Some of the alleged cconomies are in doubtful benefit, others cannot possibly be carried out, while those which may be called economies are of the most paltry character.” In 1876 M. Joly voted against a grant of $30,000 for school inspectors. The other day he pué that sum in his esti- mates, and said he was afraid it would be found too little.
Tue time has fully arrived when the con- fessedly make-shift Tariff which{we have should give place to a tariff, revised on. scientific principles, adapted to the wants of the country, taking cognizance of our re- lations to the mother land, and of. our g graphical position with respect to the United States, and based upon the great ideas which have come to us as the grand resulta of the industrial history'of the several nations of civilization. —i7.2. Reporter.
Wes think it is not premature to say that there is appearance of change for the better im business matters hereabouts. The fisherman and farmer are hopeful of abundant returns, and all are beginning to look cheerful in con- sequence. In this village several new dwell- ing houses are in various stages of erection, and no coral aes will be started before’, long. Mr. John R. Larkins, our en ising. - townsman, has lately started his stents inl which is now doing its work in good shape, The mill is most conveniently situeted near” the R. R. bridge, and out of harm’s way in~ case of fire. ‘This new enterprise wil! afford a much-needed convenience, ,and all wish th® enterprising proprietor every success.—Alber- ton Pioneer. Slen
Tue Berlin Congress opened on June 13, and the Mail remarks that the. ‘smart’. people of this continent must. confess that, Europe’s “‘old fogy” statesmen, some’.of - whom are pretty well advanced in years, by the way, have shown a remarkable i for rushing through with their work in~g - short space of time. From first to last seem to have taken hold of their work like. men of business ; and it will probably res. main on the historic record that, so far, ne other oy important assembly of states- men and diplomatists ever handled the affairs of nations in such a prompt and business. like manner.

An Astonishing Fact.
A large proportion of the American
ple are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of in: telligent and valuable people is most alarm: - ing, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is neo- good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad-- vice of druggists and your friends, and try» one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your spoedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. You can buy asample bottle for 19 cents to try. Three doses will re- lieve the worst case. Positively sold by all druggists on the Western Continent.
