To the Editor AI)voa>ATI:.
DEAR Sian.—There appears to be
some dissatisfaction autougst ;sutnea of
our resitlents in regard to the. appoint -
inept of air. Gregory Tom AS prim:11)11
of the Exeter Public School. 1'k'hs, this
feeling should exist, I ant at a loss to
understand, as Mr. Tom is a highly
educated young ]Hari, and has some
experience and knowledge of the task.
I' consider, as well as many more, that
the 'appointment is a good one, and
canton, see that the 'Trustees could
have made, a better or wieer appoint-
ment then in selecting our esteemed
townsman, Mr. Tam, as Principal of
our school, Thanking es. na forthis
space, I nxn Yours °real,
RESIA1 T.
To the Editor of ADVOCATE,
DEAR Sin.---ln reference to the elaoic
made by the Exeter School Board
principal there appears to be a great
deal of dissatisfaction, Seeing the
Board were determined to select a local
man how in the name of common sence
they could pass over Mr. Geo. Holman
at $550 per annum and take Mr. Tom
at $600 I cannot see, Was it a clear
case of favoritism and partially all cut
and dry and, all preerraangeel, If so
the advertising for applicvtions was a
farce and the public paid for that farce.
I do not wish to draw comparisons but
Mr, Holman is a man of experience,
has made teaching his profession and
is a married man and would have left
his money with us and is acknowledge
ed on all bands to be a first•ciass teach-
er. I think sir in justice to the public
the chairman of the School Board shonhl
give the trustees an opportunity of
explaining themselves.
Yours Etc.,
ReeenseYent.
To the Editor of Anyoe:tTi.,
Dont ,Smit: I notice in 16ast week's
Signed
Exeter Times a communication !.I„iaed;
"Parent” which to my mind sounds ridi
culoue and without even fair argument
as the only argument it contains speaks
a little disparingly of our lady teachers,
Are not those lady teachers capable of
controlling themselves? if not they
should not be engaged. But we think
to the contrary that they are. Parent'
says that the very first requisite in a
head of our school is being a married
man. How many years ago was it
that Mr. M. Rosebrough was principal
of the public school here, and was it
not acknowledged on all sides that he.
was a success. He was a single man.
The argument thus advanced is a very
slurring one only. Thanking you Mr.
Editor,
I am Respectfully.
JUSTICE.
To the Editor of AnvoCATE.
DEAR Silt.—There is very -vide dis-
satisfaction with the action of the trus-
tees of the public school here: They
appear to have taken a most; unjustifi-
able coarse in selecting a teacher. Only
under grave circumstances should
questions of this kind be diseussed
the press or public, but I think circum-
stances now justify it. The prospect-
ive teacher's usefulness is already des-
troyed because scholars know what is
going on as well as parents. I have
never heard any of the trustees try to
explain' the cause ; of their peculiar
action and I would like to hear their
explanation as well as an honest
expression of public opinion. I am
given to understand that good experi-
enced men applied for the position for
less money. The trustees appear to
have acted hastily and without consult-
ing public wishes or opinion and then
they give little or no information, and
the ratepayers want information. Noth-
ing could be more unfortunate than to
have the principal of a school start off
under such unfavorable circumstances
and I am inclined'to think drat:success
cannot follow and I am satisfied : that
the;pnblic are dissatisfied from express-
ions I hear daily. More light and a
re -consideration .Zre a apparently what'
the public want.
Yours Truly,

Fnmn.—On Monday 12th inst., about
330 a. m., a fire was discovered in a
manure heap close to the back of ehe
stable in connection with Tovell's gen-
eral store, Belgrave. Ere it could he
extinguished it got into the stable
where the coal' oil was kept and in x
moment all was in a blaze. There war
a fairly strong north east wind at the
time, thus bearing the fire down the
street throu the oldhall,
to e post -
g h
office and store, and also , carrying the
flames to the opposite side of the street.
An. effort was first made to check it
ere it reached Tovell's store, that is the
post -office, but in vain. Everybody
worked to save the goods, furniture
and produce of the cellar. The whole
store was not long in being a mass et
flame, and the burning shingles and
other cinders flying around ignitednearly every other building in. the
northern part of the town. McClelland c
store, at a distance of about 30 ft. away,
was besieged by the fire, and for about
20 minutes at terrible fight ensued, an
which men stood and fought tke.flaanes
and heat with water and wet blankets,
when the heat alone was baking the
building. Had this point been lost, the . .
village- null and :all was gone, as Lthe
whole is in near connection, but mels
and women, boys and girls said 'No'i'
and fortune favored the brave, and it
was saved though the goods and prop.
erty stere much damaged. The loss
to the: village will be great, as thelOst-
office, telegraph office, and one of the
leading stores are all gone. This store
was formerly the Morley block, but,
was now occupied by Mr- TOW ell, radial
has $4,500 insurance on the stock...
About all the goods were sated though.
considerably damaged. There were 4;8
tubs of butter saved and about thirty
lost, besides ':• great many other things,
McClelland's loss will be considerable
on property and damaged' goods, . but
was covered by insurance.
We arra informed that the grand
chimes of wedding belle will be sounded
in our town shortly. What do Jolt

Castle, Messrs. John Pollock, John
Esson, Elijah Castle, and Dr: Nichol
addressed the large number present.
Mr. Kalbfieisch was also on hand and
fully explained any questions asked.
Those in attendance were anxious that
action be taken at once and the by-law
submitted as early as possible. A
great many of the farmers in the adja-
cent townships are anxious to have
these mills established in Bayfield, and
are willing to subscribe liberally. What
ever amount is raised by subscription
will be deducted from the $2,000 bonus.
