General Cameron, before presenting the prizes, said My Lord Bishop, members of the Com- mittee of Management, ladies and gentlemen- congratulate you heartily on the great success which which has been attained, and of which the particulars are so well set forth in the report. am sure it must be gratifyng to all who are in terestedinthe work done by the Church as regards education to find a school like this so well able to compete and hold its own, with the public schools in the West: We do want very much, and I think we are worthy of it, a finer building provided for the physical as well as the mental culture of the boys and girls, with a fine play ground and gyninasium and everything that is necessary. I was in hopes, inst year, that we should have started a Building Fund, to be kept perfectly separate from all other funds, and I really thought it would be a very good plan to have something specially set apart for that pur- poses. I think you are more likely to obtain sub- scribers for such a special purpose, and 1 should be very glad to add my little mite (applause) The report has referred to everything connected with the school so thoroughly that there is nothing more hardly for me to say. I am glad to hear from the Bishop that the conduct of the boys has been, admirable-no refractory characters, and nothing to displease the teachers, who, I believe, are satisfied with the pupils in every respect. I only hope and trust that in the future everything may prosper as well as it has done during the past year, I again congratulate you on the first-rate results that have been obtained (applause).

The amazing results of the researches and experiments of M. Pasteur and his numerous disciples, which appear to be better known on the Continent than in this country, warrant a confident expectation that we are on the eve of medical science. Hitherto medicine has been in the greatest revolutions that have taken place in a great measure empirical M. Pasteur goes to the root of the science by demonstrating what are the causes of disease. The actual microbe of the tuberculosis was discovered by M. Koch in 1882 and he is also believed (though this is disper) to have discovered the microbe of Asiatic cholera. The microbe of typhoid fever was rendered visible and proved to exist in 1886 by M. Gaffky. These researches have been followed by the discovery that the principle of vaccination is capable of a large extension, and that the virulence of the disease may be mitigated or prevented by the introduction into the system of a milder form of the same malady. That is the basis of M. Pastepr's well-known their Agents is directed to Section 74 of HE attention of Owners of Property and treatment of, hydrophobia, and of anthrax or Ordinance No. 24 of 1887, which provides that coad in sheep of cattle, which were described in no person who shall erect a domestic building facts are fully substantiated, it would follow that be occupied until such building shall have been a recent number of this Review.
