Tun Bntxon Or Tin PosT.—Dear Sir,—I beg a little apace in your paper to aorreot a false impression oon- veyed by an item which appeared in the last issue of THE Peer over the expendi. tura of the money derived from an enter- tainment held on Feb. 25th in the Town. ship Hall, Morrie, about which some dissatisfied ratepayer to the school has expressed his or her diaeatiefaotion. Al- low me to state to that dissatisfied indi- vidual that the said entertainment was in no ease a school entertainment al. though it was got up by the young people of the section, under the guidance of 9 young men, who composed the oommittee. Neither Teaober nor Trueteee were on d that ommittee. The Did contributed fl by the eohool to the program ooneiebed of a reoitation, given by a little girl, by speoiil requeet, and 8 boys, who took minor parte in dialogues. The money derived from entertainments held in yeare gone by was to ,a great extent ex. pended on the school, having aided the section in procuring a bell, a olook, a globe, a Standard Dictionary, roller materna for windowe, Inc. The oommit- tee that got np tbie last entertainment asked the teacher if there was anything he Would like to get fon the eohool. 13e said "Yes, I would like to get a few pictures, and we voted $5.50 for that purpose. Now, although the way we disposed of the remainder or pante of the remainder, may nob commend itself to all, I olaim it ie nobody's business. We dearly earned the money, being at great trouble in getting up the program. We gave the audience good value for their money, whioh all who were there will Wittily to, add I may venture the aaeer• tion that tbo bulk of the proeeede came from outside the motion. Now, Mr, Editor, before concluding, allow mo to inke s this dissatisfied ratepayer, and all others' who might harbor such feelings, (which I hope aro few), to give the form going a oalm and: just ooneideratien, and I think they will went) to the nonolusiOn that we have been very, very generous to the school, and that we deserve from the ratepayers their united approbation in. etead of tnaliaioua orftioiem, ONO or ens Contlrryrts. A certain young moo from the 7th line visite 13rueeale regularly, What's the attraction ? The dwelling of Mrs. Alex. Conon, 6th line, le to be lathed and plastered and a cellar pub under it. Tom Johoetoa, who has been away for the pa:•t year in the 'United States, re - burned home on Saturday last, Michael Nichol and family have mov- ed from the 7th line to Brneeele, where they will make their home for a time. Mre. Edward Nichol end baby are still in Elme at her father's. She has been quite ill but ie getting better we are pleased to hear. Ratepayer need not complain too much about theentertainment money because fifteen cents won't break anyone, and getting ap a party is no worse than get- ting up a horse race or a shooting match. Alae 1 bow many there are who .would pat their head down in their pocket and give a few dollars to help the one or the otherof the last named events mention- ed and neyer squeal about it either.
