In Mr. O'Connor's place, as principal, the trustees have engaged a Mr. Burchard, fronteBolton, County of .Peel, and a„Mr. McPhaul now • occupies the departinent formerly held by Mr. Mooney. Both these gentlemen held thei: best testihenna1s. as to their effi ei err cy as teachers, and we have every confidence that under the present management the school will s stain the good reputation which it has 4eservediy gained. • CHRISTMAS MARKET. — During the holidays the Market stalls pre§ented appearance that might have made the mouth of the most adcomplished epicure water with pleasurable anticipation. Mr. George Ewing had on exhibition twelve beetes and about twenty -sheep and lambs; the quality of eittich was highly creditable to Huron pasturage and, feeding. One of the beeves shown by Mr. Ewing was a prize animal at the late Christmas Fat Cattle Show, and was fed by Mr. Payne of Tuckersrtith. Two fine ; lambs, raised by Mr. Carnochan, of Tuckersmith, 'also atteacted lauch atten- • tion. Mr. 0rrie's stall was well sup- plied, and Mr. Allan hadalso a very handsome • • , • Senooe MEETING.—The annual school I Meeting was held in the Council Room on Wednesday lest. The attendance -was very small, there being only about a dozen ratepayers and three Trustees pres- ent. We scarcely know whether to at- tribute this meagre attendance to the lack of interest taken by our people iii the conduct of the: schools, onto the iesuffiC- ient publicitylgiven of the meeting. Be • the cause what it may, it is unfortunate that so important an interest as that of the edecationland training of our young, should not reeeiee more attention at the lauds of our 'Citizens.

REAL LIFE. —A.mong the matrimonial notices he this issue will be found the announcement of the marriage of a gentleman and lady whose life his- tory- might . furnish one of our popular fictioniste• with the foundation of a three - volume hovel. Thirty years ago, more or less, there lived in the old Bethurst district, uowthe County of Lanark, a yming man and a young woman who were "keeping company together," and whom the neighbors expected to get married. From some cause ete other, the course of true love in this instance, as, in many others, did not run smooth. Another young lady attracted the attention of the fickle swain and enticed hini into the bonds Of matrimony. Meeting his first love shortly after the nuptial ceremouy was perfonned, -it is supposed she up- braided him with his inconstancy. " Well, never mind," he replied, t if ever I need °another wife I will take you." Soon after their marriage, our hero, with his wife, removed to what is now the township- of Hibbert, but which then viente, wilderness et forest, ,known at part .of that indefinite region, th0 Huron Tact. Our heroine, with her family, alat emigrated and settled in Dorch'ester, near London. With the energy and industry characteristic of the Bath- urst people, our hero and his wife soon rattle ' a coinfoetable clearing in their new Mine, and begat sons and daughters.. In course of time, . the wife died, and after some time, the 'husband married again, this time to a young vhdow. Happening, after his second marriage, again to meet our hero- ine, his first love, he was reminded; jettingly, of his promise; end again he said, "If evet I want a wife again, rn take you, mire." A year or two ago, the second wife died, and our hero was a second time a widower. At the :West- ern Fair, in Icindon, last fall, he a,gain accidentally met his first love, and, af- ter the „preliminary salutations were over, addressed her thus " _Now, Meg- _gie, I am free again, and ready this time to keep my promise; what do you say aboetit ?" Her answer it is unnecessary to repeat, but on Christmas day there was aetvedding at her father's house in Dorchester, and the two •long -divided levers were made man and.wife.--Cote. Councilors- A.

After they partook of the eatables which were excellent both in quantity and in quali- ty, they removed to the Church proWer. 'Mr. Silas Balkwell was called to the chair, and after a few appropriate re- marks. and siugiim by the elute, he called on Mr. Thomas Blatchford to read a presentation address to tlessrs. Kell- ner a,nd Qua,nee Bible Christian Minis- ters. The address expressed thanks to the geetleraen Menfioned for their -labors during the past, or the prompt and will- ing disenarge of the various . duties de- volving upon them as ministers of Christ; also the high esteexn in which they were heel, and assured them of the deep sym- pathy and co-operation of their various congregations in the work of labor and love in which. they, were engaged, all concluded by expressurg a sincere Imite that the same success that had markeLl their past,course would still contiime to distinguish their future career. The above address was accompanied with a very tangible proof qf tbe sincerity of its sentiments in the form of two purses, one containing $100, and presented to Mr. H. Kenner, by Mr. James Pickard, the other $50.00 which Mr. Quance re- ceived at the heads of Mr. Jewry. The two reverend gentlemen responded in a most suitable way, sketching their his- -tory in connection with their ministry on this circuit, ic., and thanking the friends • Walton. CHANGE IN Sottooe LAW DEMANDED. —AntheetnnuiPtichool meeting of Union School Section, Walton, it was moved by Donald Scott, Esq., seconded by Robert Pattiame, that in the opinion of this meetingthe Legislature of Ontario should remove that clause in the regulations en- acted by the Council of Public Instritetion which compels trustees of schools to en- gage a second teacher when the average attendance of pupils is more thaal fifty, and leave the matter in the hands of the inspector, and a majority of the trusteet in each section. This resolutien was carried unanimously. • TUE ERRING SCHOOLMASTER.. —Porlies, the shoplifting school teacher, whose ex- ploits • have been the theme of seteral paragraphs in the EXPOSITOR,' paid a visit to Walton on New Year's day. He called at Farquharson's hotel, where he introduced himself as Mr. McKenzie, and after indulging in sundry ;drinks, which he obtained on credit, pinceeded to amuse the company in the barroom with Scotch songs and stories.

Next day Mr. Farquhirson found a coat and over- coat of his own secreted in an outhouse, where nit doubt Forbes -had placed them, .so as to be convenient for him to take away at his leisure.

The average attendauce beieg so large that one teacher Was unable to do them justice. Another Change of Route, for the Lonaon. Road Suggested. To the ,Editor of the Huron Expositor. , DEanhtneeeStanley has spoken at the polls, and her .voice is decidedly against , the Bonus to the London` Railway, ,as at present proposed to be located. it Was a fair sq uare fight, east against the West. and the result is a majority for the West, or no -bonus party. '0, Andersen, Esq., is elected by only a small niajtority, and that could not have been obtained, only at the urgent request of one or two of his private friends who stuck to him et all hazard. Stanley will never grant a t bonus for the railway by Brumfield, but that, if the grain- buyers stay in the market, every load of grain will be taken there as usual, and the farmers will feel . just as satisfied as if they had fees to.

Will you favor me with space in the EXPoSiTbR, to make a few remarks on market fee subject. In the first pi -meet must remark that the ratepayers of See - forth acted honorably and just in voting • • cnar-gnig marnet tees., They have made the arst move in regard to free trade. This is a free country, then the farming part of the population re- quires free trade with the neighboring towns or villages, and the country at large requires, free trade with the neigh- boring States. We blame the Amen - cans, and justly, too, efor not giving us free trade, then, can 'we with justice; blame them for not giving us what we do 1 not give one another ? Your -correspond- ent, " Ratepayee No. 2, and a few oth- ! er ratepayers are not ia favoe of giving , free trade to thetarmere ; they think the fanners have not done enough fot them I yet. • I would. say to them, that the farmers gave them a good comfortable , market house, with a year's market fees • into the bargain, the finMers even paid a yearly salary for collelting the money, and now you have a good Town Hall, a Lockup and Butcher's stalls, :which bring you in a nice ydeoairialynsum..is:,:otsly,i,tholurt. isttauti egp ayyoeioneri, aword with you Your letter to the ratepayers of Seaforth had no effect. It was not worth the ink shed ; in writing it. It was like a chip in -por- ridge, neither good nor harm. You ; seem to fret considerably for the poor 1 pedlars, as you call them, and you are particularly fretful about the poorer class . of Seaforth. You imagine they will meet 4 lowed free trade. Then it appears you ; world rather help them out of the farm- er? pocket than your own. You say I there will be aelditionalttaxation. Went if there will, you have a perfeet right to pay your own taxes. Again, you say the market will be broken up if the fees are taken off, you say the oki practice of rambling over the streets and meeting the farmers' loads eomeng in will be re- ! sorted to again.
