John bailot being taken resulted in 27 votes for Mr. Kay, and 23 for Mr. Wilson, Nvhou Mr. Kay was declared duly elected. The now Warden briefly thanked the Commit far the honor conferred upon bin, end expressed the hope that be would have the same cordial support twin the council RS his predecessore. A motion by Mews Beek and Britton, to raise the sunt of $3,000 for the improvement of the boundary lines of the respective muni- cipalities, to be apportioned after the June meeting when the clerk obeli have oalculated the amounts due the respective municipalities was referred to the Finance Committee, .A circular front County Council of Welland' asking co-operation in petitioning the Legis- lature to abolish grand juries, was referred to Special Committee. A. circular front County Council Kent, ask- ing for oo-operation in securing an amend- ment to the aseessment aot so that all farm etook obeli be exempt from taxetion, was re- ferred to Special Committee, The following ietter from the County Soli- citor, wIth Accompanying returns of Lit:tense Commissioners, Pollee Magistrate &o., were referred to Finance Committee. • Goderich, Jan'y 24, 1888. To County Clerk :— Dear Sir.—We sent you some statements lately showing the position of the funds claim ed by the County, realized from the fines im- posed for violations of the Scott Act. These staternents showed a balance of $1,370,60 to be payable to the county after satisfaction of all the estimates by the License Commission ers of all three ridings, The result arrived at in these statements Le, we believe, correct. Since then we have had our costs of defend- ing the action brought agaihst the county tax ed, and the whole matter is therefore ripe for immediate conclusion. The county must be paid the $1,370.60 ; we must be paid $75, the amount at Adele our costs were taxed, and the License Commissioners of the three ridings must give receipt in full to the county for their several estiruates and tho matter Is then completely at an end. We uncler- stand from a teeter shown us by Mr. Seeger from the Provincial Seeretary's office, that ordirs have been issued to give the necessary cheques, and we expect before the present session is over to see the end of the mat - The other matter of the Police Magistrate's Binary, fees, &o., is not yet adjusted, hut it is, we think, so entirely distinct frotn the other questions—those between the License Coromissioners and the county—thee we see no occasion for keeping both open till both -are admated. We have alressaY advientl tbdt in our opinion the appuintment is a lawful one, the county liable for the salary, and the Police Magistrate bound to account to the county for hie fees. This anthraces the whole legal aspect of the matter, so far as we see. What remains isniere toatter of account requiring, we think, no assistance from Ilif solicitors. he statement of account between the onnty and the License Goromiasioners of he Ridings is as follows : New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, • .

Arrow: OF INS:MOTOR TOL Geutlenaen,---I have the honor to submit the annual eeport of the Public Scheele in the West Riding for the year 1887. The number of teechers en d d g 1887 lEtS 107, classMed as follows : 3 firs class, 47 secoud class 57 third class. Th work doue during the year wee in the major ity of sections vets satisfactory, I am sorr, to find that trnsteosin saveral sections hay redeiced the selectee for 1888. This has had the effect of making a number of good teeehere leave the profession aud their piece have been filled by those of a lower toed and leas experience. Teachers will aseep it low salary only an two couditions lat, a knowledge on the part of the applicant of his unfitness for tue work; 2nd, a 'feeling that be 4pot spent eithereime or money in hie peenaration at -all oommensorate to that re quiied by °Ile who is better qualified. TOO menytimetees and.ratepayers (tor the trust - ease merely reflect the opinions of the ratepayers) consider the aotaal amoent of money paid more than they ,do the return to be given for the outlay. Low salaries cause o ftequent change of -teachers, whiett is an neury to any section. A. large number of candidates presented themselves at the teaohera and entrenee examinations during 1887. At the teachers' ton-professioual examination 66 oandidates wrote and more than the average peceeetage passed. At the County Model Schools 78 ook the examipation, of whom 65 were Successful. At tbe High School entrance oxinninations 70 came ttp at Exeter, of whom 59 passed, and of 154 at Goderich, 97 were successful. Itwould be great advantage to he schools of Ashfield and, West Wawanoeh o hold an entrance examination at Dungan- non. It is expensive for the oandiclates to enme to Goderioh. The coat would be no more than at present as the work which would be taken at Dungannon is now taken at Goderioh. The Minister of Education has agreed to allow the examination there if the Couuty Cognoil gives consent. The different High School boatels imposed it fee of 50 cents on all entrance candidates at the last exam - nation. "The new regulations give the Counoil of the County jurisdidtion to Ma - pose a fee not exeeediug one dollar. J. E. TOM, I,P.S. COUNTY TREASURER'S REPORT.

Ftem.---Ou Thursday en. last Mr. Math, tforlock, living miles north of Crediton, met with a heavy loss by the destruction of his apiary by fire. It seems that Mr. M, had sent his little boy ont to build a fire in the house just before they all went to church in the evening, and that through a defective stove the flax, dm used in packing around the bee hives were ignited. Thelfamily no- ticed nothing before they left, and were in ()hutch at the time of the fire. After it was first seen by some of the neighbors it large number from the village drove back in sleighs and confined the flames to the one building but they had arrived to late, as already 85 or 90 oolonies Of bees had been destroyed, and only a few standing at it distanee were Sas- ed. Mr. vlorlock had teken a great interest in the culture of bees and Ind made it slimes of it, but all his hard work seems to have been fermenting. He values a colony at aboat 38 to $10, in which case his loss will be about 3800, on winch their was no insur- ance.
