TOWN, TQPIC�S
TWENTY FTh'ZiE l -YF± S :AGO;,
June, 1906.
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,

of May 29th, 1906. The assessments
