Bnxxrs—Our school commenced a week
ago Tuesday with the usual number of
pupils and one new teacher, Mr Jarrat, who
takes the place of Mr Chas Latta,—We are
pleased to state that Miss Bella Latta is

from her Iate illness.—Mr Geo Beehanan
has returned to Goderieh to school,—Mr
Mr Fred Hess has sold his driyer to Ur
Wm White, of Rodgerville, for a good sem,
and Mr Jon Merger has sold his to Mr Thea
Berry, of Hensel!. Driving horses seem
to be in great demand and bring a good
figure.—Mrs Brown is visiting her mother,
Mrs Hill.—Misses Praing and .Backer are
visiting their parents in the villiage.—Miss
Edith Steinbach has returned from a visit
to Exeter.—We are pleased to see that
Master John Gies of the public sobool here.
has passed the entrance examination,' se-
curing 477 marks.—According to the article
in last week's issue your Hensall correspon-
dent seems to have a very poor. opinion of
the majority of the ratepayers ;of the mun-
icipality of Hay. ' Business ability, honest
dealing and a fearless arraignment of reck-
less extravagance” says the writer "could
not stand against the solid west," We feel
sorry for the benighted (?) majority if they
have been so foolish as to poll their votes
in favor of qualities directly adverse to
those ,mentioned in the above quotation, for
such is the insinuation Our sympathy
however is more for the writer, who we be-
Neve voices the sentiments of bat a small
minorit' and whose eyes—regardless of the
"light from the east"—are blinded by the
dense °loads of his own selfishness. We
think and the' ratepayers of Hay, according
to their decision of the 5th think so too
that the "sufficient number of votes" were
polled for the right candidate. The only
consolation we can offer to those who "got.
left" as your correspondent puts it, is to do
as he should have done ere this, bow calm-
ly to the majority instead of kicking after
a finaldecision is given.
