merits the large circulation it enjoys:

The fore part of the week was wet but

appointed to consider and deliberate
upon the school difficult* between the
corporation of the village of Hensall
and the towship of Hay and Tucker
smith. met in the school house here on
Saturday It will be understood that
by virtue of existing statutes when an
urban municipality is erected and por-
tions of ono or more townships are in -
eluded in the corporation a union S. S,
is immediately formed. This did not
seem to be clearly PPr
a eheuded at the
school meeting in January last, conse-
quently the proper notices were not
given and two boards of trustees were
appointed instead of ole. Representa-
tives of No. 1, Tuckersmith, petitioned
to have the union dissolved. Mr. R.
H. Collins, Barrister of Exeter, on be-
half of Messrs. Bonthron, Mack apd
others of the rural, or Hay part of the
section, petitioned to have the union
dissolved and a new section formed, A
number of witnesses both from the rur-
al and urban part of the section gave
'eiideuce 'arid the evidence from the
petitioners was ably` summed up and
presented to Mr. Collins. The principal
arguments in fayor
of dissolving
ol ia
the
union section and forming a new sec-
tion were, (1) that with a union school
the children from the rural part of the
section would be greatly inconveni-
enced as to the distance, a , so me of the
children having to come over two miles;
(2) the ratepayers in the rural part
would be excessively taxed; (3) as the
urban part of the section would be en-
titled to six trustees, while the rural
part would have only three, therefore
the latter could be out -voted every time.
(4) the petitioners wished the union
dissolved because they were not repre-
sented on the present board of trustees.
On the other side it was argued that
the children from the rural part suffer-
ed very, little inconyeuience as the
roads were invariable good even in the
winter and with teams coming and go
ing constantly no hardship was felt by
them. Further when the old school
house was burnt and two new schools
had to be built, they were properly
placed so as to suit the rural part of
the section as well as the village. To
this end the yiilage school was placed
at the extreme western limit and if the
rural part was cut off the village school
would be in the most inconvenient place
possible. Again as to the taxation it
was shown that when the present de-
bentures were paid, as they would soon
be, the rate would be very materally
lessened and the rural men would really
be lighter taxed for quite a number of
years than if they built a new schoe
and maintained it themselves. It was
also argued that both schools would bet
less efficient than the present one,
Lastly, as to the complaint of the ne•.
titioners, that they could get no repre-
sentation on the board of trustees It
was shown clearly by the evidence
that three of the rural men were nom-
inated at the annual meeting and not
one of them would act.. After hearing
the evidence pro and conandafter the
learned council far the petitioners had
summed up the argument and preseuti-
ed the case clearly in their behalf the
Board of Arbitrators adjourned to sleet.

ring to Mrs. Weiamiller as tokens of
respect and esteem. Mr. Weismitier

ed in himself' and family and of whicla
the beautiful and costly gifts were to
slight token.—The "At Home," or "ram--•
bow social" given by the Royal Temp-
lars on Thursday evening last was a
magnificent success. Supper was served
in the room below MsFwaa's hall where
a number of small tables,decorated
with choice delicacies, where For a cote-
ple of hours the centre of attraction.
The room was arched by a beautiful
"rainbow", while the waiters were cos-
tumed in the seven primary colors.
We neyer remember of having seeti
such a bewitching display of feminine,
gracefulness and lovliness, After sup-
per the crowd repaired
to the lode
room, upstairs, to enjoy the musical and
literary feast. The chair was oceupiedi
by Rev. J. S. Henderson, who officiated
in his usual happy manner. Space for-
bids
orbids us giving particulars, but suffice
it to say that the program consisted of
readings, choruses, vocal and instru-
mental duets and au address by the
chairman and in which the several per-
formers did their parts well. The next
morninglafter the " At Home " given by
the Templars, Mr. Frank Marshall, as
doubt feeling particularly "pious" ap-
propriated a most tempting pie from
the store room for his own special grat-
ification. Having occasion to deposit
it in a temporary, but as he thought
safe place, while he attended to some
business, two or three of the " boys"
devoured the pie and in its place wrap-
ped up an advertising pamplet of about
the same size and weight, Frank came
back and put the parcel under bis ars*
smiling like a basket o= chips and car-
ried it into the butehe a shop, where,
knife in hand, he assayed to humor his
palate with a dainty and delectable
"dish." When the paper came off and.
the contents met Frank's astonished
gaze the tragic change in his visage
would have made au actor his fortune.
