Skies are heglinning to give place, to -wheeled vehicles, and things generally are commencing to assume a spring- like appearenee., This • season the snow will make .us- glad twice--. -when it came and. when it goes entirely away.

After reading the report, Mre Hickson Made • Several references and statements reg4d- ing last year's business, all of which Are meet tatisfectorY to the meeting. The Report was unanimously adopted. Re- solutions were then pasted to the effect that the factor Y be managed du- ring the current year on the same prin- ciple as last year, viz., that the milk be' manufaceured by Mr. Hickson for two coats per pound Of cheese; algo that Mr. Hickson provide for the drawing of the inilk tothe fectory for which he be- al- lowed one cent' per gallon.

Mr.. Hamilton Con - eluded an excellent practical speech by alluding in most complimentary terms to the Manner in which the Brucelield - factory had. been conducted in the past. Mr. Ballantine, of Downie, was next called -upon, and delivered a very able atii instructive address. He alluded to the unless:m:1)1e season which the last • had -been for cheese manu- facturers • _.-and dairymen, and showed • some of . the reasous which ea -used the -extremely low price of cheese. • He predicted much higher prices this and -showed from circulars lately reeeiesed front England that in that mark: -et the supply was becoming nearly exhausted. Cheese. in; England is-. now worth 70s.; 'whereas the -highest figure it had attained last season was from 50s. to . He also spoke of the high repu- tation whieh Canadian cheese held in the - British market, and -requested of - the patrons of factories that they do their part towards retainieg and improving that, high remitation. Mr. Ballantine was listened to most atteutively throughout, and We are sure that many excellent hints and siuggestions might have been ,taken from his remarks by those present. 7 In cenchision,.we might say that this metier,. -was one: of the largest which litie• yet been held imam. the auspices of the Factory, and the good feeling and se-ood u inters tenth]] e which a.p p aree t- ly exists beteveen-:tlie manufacturer and his p4tinne is most gratifying.

The side road between lets Mem) and sixteen, on the cie▪ hth and ninth Concessions has been disputed for a eumber of years. Lot fifteen lack- ing sour rods, and. lot sixteen hexing four roils more than correct allowance, -which the occnpier has often acknowledged, hitt holds the land on the pretence that the Mistake is in the orginal survey. The parties lacking their land. have been seeking redress of their grievances from . the township Council for a number of years, as it is the only owner of public roads. Last year the parties wetegoing, to 1 enter an action against the Council for the : said road, when the Council, to save the 1 township the expenses of two actions, agreed to give up the road if the parties wanting their rightswould pay half the , expenses in an action with the Council I I against thoee occupying the supposed I 1 road. The action was entered last Jana- 1 ary after three several attempts by the Reeve or Council, and a willingness by those lacking the land to leave it to ar- bitration, and each ef the parties OM- cerned, and the Council to pay one third of the expenses, but the parties ha e i the land would.not arbitrate. The petition referred to is for the town- ship to sustain half the expenses of the defendant,- while the council is bound to sustain half the expenses of the plaintiff, and is itself the plaintiff to the bargain, besides there are not two men, (if that number) hose names are to the petition but acknowledge thatthose who lack the land should have it in. honesty. But notwithstanding the facts of the case, there has a large number of persons been duped to sign the petition from some cause or other. Some give as reas- on for their simplicity, thatthey thought that the Council had as good a right to defray half the law expenses of the de- fendant as to pay half the expenses of the plaintiff, and the Council being the plaintiff itself. This argument is futile, as our officials could not get rid of taking the steps they have, or other otherwise cause the township to 'sustain a great loss. It appears the people ha,ve been induced to sign the elliove petition from various causes, some for the sake of becoming pepular, a.nd. trying to please every per- son, and others affirm they do not know what induced. them to do so, only they were satisfied the petition would nev- er be passed by the Council, others say, that they were never so sorry for any- thing they did in their lifetime, as to at their si nature to such a document. g - t appears. however, there were a few among the many to whom the petition was presented for their signature, who would not bow the knee to the ima,ge of Baal, or allow themselves to be led as if they had no knowledge of theraselves. What a, temptation laid before our worthy Councillors to pass a resolution to grant such an imposition on the Electors of McKillop. But our heroes considered the document laid before them with cool- ness and deliberation, and our Reeve and Deputy Reeve explained the facts of the case from the beginning and acted on its merits like our forefathers of old, who bred and died. for the rights MARCH 2% 18_72: Robert McLaughlan, James Mitelie GallagherT4ames14 following accounts erdered to he 111;11(Zclatil;:inaili.infirt112:51i1;:erietting . e-",.11: $4 5.0; balance of it nut -Expenses polling places for Ontario Electi'en tn Teachihs, eedl etebtionineettllestahre.
