A Notable Incident, The other day while in town, R. VaniEgmond and H. johns of Tuckersmith, got intoconversation about a circumstance that happened in Goderich nearly sixty years ago, that Was without precedent, and never happened a seco'n'd time, One of the participants was Frank Johns, a rela- tive of the Johns family of Tucker - smith, and unoie of the one mentioned here, but since deceased, and the event is so remarkable that it is worthy of being recorded. Three boys, including Johns, had been sent ' to school in ,Goderich one -early spring morning. They played truant in'ste'ad, and tnad.e their way to the lake, then apparently a sheet of ice. After playing thereon for some time; they discovered' • to their horror, that it had broken from the shore line, and the large floe an which they stood was rapidly being driven by the wind towards the centre of the lake. They were old enough to realize their danger but could do no- thing to help themselves, Fortunaltely, their mothers had pnovided them • ,with an ample dinner When they started for school, and this stayed the pangs of hunger. While it was daylight they managed to keep themselves warm by.moviog about, 'but when dankn'es's cane they did not dare do so, and they passed the long night in terrible suspense, though the cold was not in- tense. Next day the ice continued to move westward, and towards evening they saw land, and managed to make their way to shore without much trouble. They landed at What is known as Sandy Beach in Michigan. There was no telegraph in, th'o'se days, no railroad even, and when the boys did not turn up at -home their parents were naturally very much alarmed, and as the days went by without any tidings of them, conclud- ed they had been .drowned. But the people of Sandy Beach 'when they heard the rein'arkalt'le story, of the boys, and saw that it could' not be other than true, decided to send them home as quickly as possible and the next day started them ho'mewar'd by ox -teats. A crossing was effected near Sarnia and in three weeks' time the boys' parents were overjoyed to re- ceive them back none the worse for their remarkable experience. The Collegiate Institute. At the meeting of the Board last ,Friday night the members gave tan- gible expression to the feeling that •has existed for some time in that the teaching staff were deserving of an in- crease in salary. There is no doubt that under Principal Rogers and his excellent staff of assistants the repu- tation of this Institute has consider- ably expanded as evidenced by the increased attendance of the ever wid- ening circle from which pupils are drawn to Seaforth. We think our, readers will agree with us that the voluntary addition of seventy-five dollars to the annual salary of the Principal and fifty dollars to each member of the staff was a graceful and timely recognition- of the faithful work done. McKillop Council, Council met as a Court of Revision of May 29th, 1906. The assessments of Ernest Elligson and Aaron Hulley ,were each :lowered $200.
