Plum oft Wen.—I saw in the Brussels
Budget a statement that the school
meeting on Wednesday, Deo. 26th in
school section No. 6, Grey stating "Last
year the Grits turned out and did the
business in their own way. This year
the Tories mustered out in [strength and
elected Joe. Baynard." Now they say
what WAS fn TIM POST last year wan not
true. I defy any one to prove Oda trim.
Why did two of the Tories go to Clinton
to see whether the meeting was legal ?
One week: from that day did they not
hold the second election, ono week too
late ? This is true. Now the next thing
to consider was thee° called 'ROSH' Bible.
The correspondent says Mr. Keifer and
and the Grit party fought bitter and
strong to retain it in the sohool. That
is n plump falsehood. One of the Tory
party said "Burn it, burn it," can you
deny thio 7 Did not kir. Ileffer say you
must take a vote on that nod pat it out
legally ? They say Mr. Hall, although
Grit, voted on the Tory side, I say it fa
not time as he did not vote at all. IIs
was chairmen of the meeting and could
not vote only in naso of a tie. Who party

ing John, eldest sou of P. Fisher, had a
narrow esoape from death. He was going
skating and while crossing on the foot
bridge over the Lower Town dam, and,
not looking where he was stepping for an
instant, fell through a hole where a couple
of boards should have been, at the east
end. As considerable water is now flow.
ing over the dam, when he struck the
slide John was carried down into the
river below. Catching hold of a tree he
endeavored to hold on, but a oouple of
pieces of ice struck him, the last one
knocking him off and 'quaking" him
below the surface. He then swam
ashore, being soaked to the skin and
minus Ida cap, whioh he lost when he
went under the water, and his skaboa.
The only injury he sustained was a sore
band, which he, no doubt, received wbeu
he first fell.
