Bob Thomson bought some turkeys,
And had tliom brought to town,
Twenty hundred Icunlsemn turkeys,.
Bicap and white and brown.
The school boys coming home at 110011
Spied those turkeys; line,
And soon they each and all forgot
They 8h0uld g0 110018 to di00,
Each boy must have a rubber
With whici to mall,' 11dart ;
Enob boy must have a feather
Before to oohool he'd start.
Mr. Thereon shipped those turkeys
For Christmas 1lolid ay,
And sorry were the school boys
The day they wont away.
Oh I AIr. T.— what elven we do
For turlceys in our town ?
You've bought them all end shipped them

You've loft us goose and duck alone.

Barrister, Wingham, Out.,
School Trustees No. 0 vs. McKillop
DEAR Star -The papers In Nita matter
were put into my hands some looks ago,
and today it Una been disposed of by Judge
Meredith, who, attar a full (100ring, has die.
missed tho applioatlou, hub without costs.
He seemed prineipahy influenced by the
circumstance of the petition to the Connell
against the now school house, He said in
giving judgment that the primary idea in all
these matters wits that too majority must
rule, endit seemed 0000od0,) that this post.
tion lead in fact a largo majority of the rate.
payers of the section. If so, although it was
a change of mind on the part of the sohool
section, he'thought it a very good rea0oa
why the Court should not make any order
of mandamus which would compel the
building of a new e0hool house at the
prosont timo.
In argument, of course, 110 admitted that
the petition could not have any binding
validity, and that tho Duly formal action of
the ratepayers was that taken at tine special
mooting 16 J0uuary last, but none the loss,
bo name to the conclusion that ho would not
melte the order we naked, by reason of the
fact that this petition Unci been so exten-
sively signed.
Upon the principal question 110 avolded
expressing any definite opiuio01, although ho
said the present inclination of his mind was
that when the Statute required tho anos08-
AL on Long to 110 sanctioned by the rate-
payers it implied that Ruth ealn0(10n1 should
be given at least to the amount of the loan.
He thought that the analogy of the Munici-
pal Act indicated the no00sstby that the
ratepayOOo who were to vote upon the pro-
posal for the loan should have before them
pretty full partloulare of the amount it was
proposed to borrow an11 the manner in
wblah it was proposed to repay it, and he
thought it would at all events bo lvr0nn,
Oven if it ,roe not EoeowT.rAL, that ouch de-
tails, or the principal of thorn, Should ap-
pear in the resolution to which the 0020-
t3oo of Cho ratepayers was given.
Re said, further, that 110 was largely in-
fluenced in declining to make any order by
the oonetderatiou thee in doing so he de-
cided ootltug,butlett tho matter open for
the ratepayers themselves. If'he trdnE the
Order ho would be settling the queatia1
Dually, while by ixfuateo at present to in-
terfere he loft it open to the ratepayers to
act at another spoofed mooting where the
majority might finally dooido.
00o remarl:ocl that, judging 1)71110 petition,
there seamed to have beau cue change of
mind already by the majority, and very pos-
sibly there would be another Menge by now,
or within the nest few months.
On the lvhole, therefore, as tho tendency
of his opinion iuolined agaloeb us on the
legal point, and all oonsiderations of expedi-
ency seemed to him to weigh AGAINST
4411(11019 the order for mandamus, ho do -
alined to do so, and a,, Mesad the appliea-
tion, but ho thought that the ailidavits all
showed that 'the Township Council, and. es-
pooially rho Olorlr, had gone far beyond
their duty in taking sides in the matter mid
enegoeting obstacles to the requirei1001b8 of
the Trustees. 110 spoke of tiro Trustees as
in his vfow only desiring apparently 00 carry
out honestly Cho wfeho0 of the School Noe -
tion, lie thought they were lltorally in the
position o1'lrasteee in the wetter, 0114 as
they appears .to 1010(18 boon only doing
their duty throughout, there would be uo
costa neatest them, but be would Mayo the
Township generally to nay its Emu Goats of
resisting the 0pplioatloa, while as to our
008te he said the Trustees would of course
pay thorn ouh of the general fatale of the
Sohool 0001100.
Tam Berry we 000 not able to satisfy the
Jtldgo that our view of the law was entirely
00rroet and that uo other consideration
should be taken into ace0nnt on 2110 present
motion, but Cho foot that he has entirely ap-
proved the oouxno of the Trustees 111 bring•
Mg the gno8tiou before Cho Court, lnllgt be a

Yount MoNIo'11n,—Rospeob your mini•
ster, He is devoting his life to yottr
good. Few, if any men ere in the pulpit
for the loaves and fishes. The good man
may have weaknesses. So have yon. He
may make mistakes. So do you. His
50(02 may be molted, and he may have
eccentricities. What of tlhat? Others
have their peculiarities. He is God's
servant. ISe has given up worldly pros•
petits. He has assumed heavier burdens
than yon know, ltespeot him. He de-
serves it. Tho time was in [hie country
when the minister was loved and honored
as he is not (how. In the days of the
throo•oornered clerical hat, tiro vest of
enormous length, the knee -breeches and
the silver buckles, the people took off
their hats and bowed to him as he pass-
ed. To speak against him or his preach.
ing was, at le0et in New England, panisb-
ed by fine, whipping, banishment or can-
ting off of the ears. Rather severe treat-
ment no doubt. But it shows the regard
in which the olergy were held, We do
nob ask for fawning. We do not mean to
imply that your minister wants super•
hated attention. But we say, respect this
man of God, because 11e is living a holy
life and is seeking the best he knows how
to do good. Your criticisms may not
hurt him. But they will injure his in.
fluence. They may keep some soul from
being saved. Smother your unfavorable
aommeots. If yon do not like him, keep
it to yonrself. ];Told up his hands. Pray
for him when he is gone. One of the
things cvhiole ought to be trampled under
foot ie the soore0 of uncharitable and
distasteful comments passed every day
about "oar minister."
