To the Editor of TEO Pose, Duan SIR,—As a ratepayer of Brnasels whoa school taxes each year amount to &considerable stun, I may be permitted to define my position and express my opinion regarding school matters, and be. ing a non-resident to use your columns for that purpose. I have always been and trust always will be in favor of em- ploying competent teachers and paying them proper and suitable solaria:. I consider 9700 a sufficiently small eatery for the Principal of the school. I do not believe in cutting down a salary as an incentive to better work. If therefore a teacher is not performing his duty efii- oiently that course would not commend itself to me as the proper one to adopt, I strongly object to placing on the School Board any of those who for many years have endeavored to knife the present Principal. Their object is not the pub- lic good but tre have revenge for a fancied, private grievance of over a dozen years standing. Youth truly, Wtt. J. R. IloLt1Ba. Goderioh, Oat, 3, '92. Gordon.

In the county the total amount of the olaitns entered was over 940,000. The amount paid into court some but a email portion of the amount claimed, bat it often happens that a de. fendant in a suit, after he is notified of the claim pays direct to the claimant, and thus no record of it appears in the court proceedings. There are 12 Division Courts in the county, and it would be better for everybody if there was only one-half the number. The Ontario Government should close some of them up. There were entered in the Province during the year 59,510 suite for claims amounting to a total of $2,260,288. This is exclusive of tremsoipts of judgments and judgment summonses.

TERRIBLY BuRNED.—Tole following let- ter from Thompson, North Dakota, gives the particulars of a bad accident in which John, son of Wm. Ellis, of this locality was a aufferer War. PALM—D.5331 SIR,—No doubt you are anxious to know all the particulars regarding the unfortunate calamity that has befallen your son John. I will en• deavor in the fewest possible words to narrate the particulars, as far as known, and at the same time correct the very erroneous reports circulated by the news- papers regarding the horrible affair. In this town a few weeks ago a dive was started by a negro named Preston, pre. sumably as a restaurant, but in reality instituted for gambling purposes. 0 was a wooden building, one storey, having an outer room oontaining a counter and gasoline stove for serving meals to ousto- mere, with an inner room without doors or windows where the gambling gamee were conducted. About 6:30 lasb Sunday evening your son with two companions came into town and called at my house to enquire for a man for whom they bad been harvesting. Some one volunteered the information that he woold be found at the gambling dive as he was known to be addicted to that vice, so prevalent in this oonnbry. They immediately went in quest of him to collect some money owed them and had barely entered the place when an explosion of the gasoline stove or eau occurred. It is difficult to say how the ignition happened. Some aver that the cork had been removed from the can, and others that the tap of the stove had been turned on so that when the cools proceeded to light it with a match the gas laden atmosphere at ono took fire and the entire room was enveloped in flames. Some 10 or 12 of those who were in the shank rushed out without injury but two men were burned alive in the building, viz. : Dennie Ke - hoe and John Swanson, both from On. tario. A negro named Tnrpin was literally baked alive but lived till Mon- day morning. Samuel Curry, formerly of Ontario, died ou Tuesday morning. The remaining victims, John Ellie, Mike Olarry and Hugh McCarthy, are still alive. The recovery of the latter two named is cerblin bub your son is in a precarious condition, though the dootor to -day states that lois chances are more favorable for reoovery. His face and hands ate horribly burnt, and, while no murmur of suffering eaoapss his lips, he meat endure torture, He is among fel- low Canadiane and other hind Amorioan friends and I can assure you that in no way will he sutler any neglsot but we will see that everything is done to allevi- ate his suffering and further his eenovery. We have just received a despatob from his brother Thos. from Arden, Manitoba, stating that he started to -day to come to him and we shall look for him bo -mor. row. Yon undoubtedly experiehee bitter sorrow for the oolditiou of your boy but the bitterness will bo somewhat miti- gated by the knowledge, that John did not visit the don for auytbieg bub a legi- timate purpose and did nob 111 any way engage in the gambling conduoted there- in, Wo would have wished that you oould have route to Seo John but ns that is impossible I can convoy t0 you the assurance (as e, fellow Caaadiae) that lis will womb for nothing and everything will be clone to further lois reoovo'y. Were it not for the erroneous reports published fn many of the newspapers I would not have entered into deto,ile bub I wish yon to know the tenth of the mate tor and you are ab liberty to have this letter published, if you See fit, tahave the garbled accounts °orrooted. I ata, my clear sir, Sympathetioally ycure, A. W. CUXXIN0112,51, Thcmpeoto, N, D., Sept. 30,'92.
