SATISFACTORY. - Opposition between the rival stages is very keen, and lan- guage the reverse of parliamentary is sometimes freely indulged in by the re- spective drivers when canvassing for passengers. Sometimes it is said that passengers are carried free rather than that they should patronize the other line. This may not pay the p rio- ters, but the travelling public ap r to be satisfied. Note EST IeveNeus.-Last week our villagers were considerably excited over the disappearance of Mr. Manly, head teacher of the public school. The school was kept open, as usual, on Mon- day, when he announced to the pupils his intention of going to visit another school on the following day, as, howev- er Tuesday and 'Wednesday passed. without his return, people began to feel uneasy, some thinking he had been murdered for the.sake of a gold watch which he had purchased only a few days before, and a sum of money whica he had received from one of our villa- gers to whotn he had hypothecated his salary; but rumoQhen had it that a person answering to his description was seen at Stratford station on Monday night, or ra,thec early on Tuesda,y mor- niug, getting a ticket for Buffalo, and leaving it black valise checked for thus city. Then the dry goods dealer weo sold the valise remembered with a sigh that he had not been paid for it; the watchmaker agaiu looked at his invoice to see the cost of the watch, and suspi- cions of murder became fainter, while suspineions of cheating Demme stronger.. Over a week has passed Since his de- parture, the trustees have advertised. for another teacher, and the prevailing impressiou among the people is, that his actions are not in accord with his. name. , CRICKET CL1313.-Thare is some tam: of forming a' cricket club in Levan this season.
