THE SEAFORTH CHEESE FACTORY. - The annual meeting of the patrons of the Seaforth Cheese Factory was held in the Town Hall, Seaforth, on Wednesday het, and was largely atteeded. A full statement of the transactions of the past year was made by Mr. Robertson, the proprietor, in behalf of the: Manag- ing Committee. The past year's trans- actions have not been as satisfactory to the patrons as might be desired. Mr. Robertson, however, is in no respect blemableJor this. In fact, it was gen- erally acknowledged, that the factory iwas well conducted, and that the cheese ananufactured was fully equal to that of anrother ;factory. The difficulty arose from the ;fact of the Couunittee, who had the entire control and selling of the cheese, exporting it themselves, instead ed. selling it here. It seems that the Committee -were led to believe tbat they - could realke More on the cheese by ship- pingett direct -to an agent in Liverpool. and allowing_ him to sell it for them. This they did, but the pecuniary result -Aid_ not meet their expectations, the amount.receivedlseing considerably less -that Would have been realized had the .aheeee been sold. here at current_ rates. 'There seemed to be no disposition on the part of the patrons to blame the Com- mittee, as it was generally admitted that their action was taken solely with e de site toinarease the Trouts, but, as is fre. querdliet the case in all bneinees transac- tions, • they were disappoieted. The -trausartione of last yew • were _closed by passing annanimons elate of thanks to the' . ittee and to the auditor, Mr. 000 I Ts. Turnbull. Mr. ;Robertson then stat- ed. that he Wished toeirefee arrangements for the coming year. The proposition he made was, that he should draw the milk and 'manufacture the cheese for two -arid -adult milts per found thathe should have the sole management of sell- ing the eheesee and that, -on his part, he should guarantee the pates:ins at least seven cents per gallon for their milk„ and w-ould aAvenee tkem that much on their niiik at the end of each mouth, whether he sold the_cheeee or not. If he should sell the cheese male befor -the end of the month, he woiddgisetheCniIamouut due. After eorae cliecussion the proPosi- tion of Mr. Robertson as agreed to by the meeting. A ,cassmitteel of manage- ment was appointedand eome farther business transacted when he naestilig dispersed. -The' arrattgeseent .eem t betwaen Xi.. Robertson and his patrons, fori eke coming year's operation is certainly a raced equitable one. No matter Whet the price of eheeee may ite daring the - canting season, the patrons are assured of at least 7 cents per gallon- for their milk. But, if eheeee should be a good price, the patrons will- have the full benefit of the favorable market, and will, besides, hove the use of their money as the milk is delivered.

We G. Hingston Wa,s appointed Ch irmaii and 0. R. Cooper, Seeretery. The Chair- man stated that he believed the object of the meeting‘was to take into consid- eration the question of cheesemaking, and whether it would he to the interest of farmers to go into this btiness more largely than they had for erly. Mr. Leckie said that he had taken upon him- self to call5. this meeting, as,i during the last few weeks, quite a number of per- sons had.asked him to take; the matter in haud and get the factory established again for the coming season. Before do- ieg anything in the matter he thought it advisable to call a meeting and get the opinion of the r' farmers as to. how they. would wish to have the factory conducts ed. He had invited a couple of gentle- , men who were practical fatmers and I cheesemakers. to be present to address themeeting and,sexplean.the best method of having the business- conducted: Dur- ing the winter, several persons had ex- pressed a desire to rent the factory, and if the meeting should. desire to have it carried on by any other person, he was quite willing, and wouldleave it for them to decide. It was then' moved by Mr. J. Robband seconded by D..MclAuch- lan, that it would be greatly to the in- terest of the farmers to have the cheese factoreeetm during the coming season.- Carried. Mr. rfamilten, of Hibbert, then addreseed the meeting „at some, length, in a very interesting speech on the subject of dairying and cheese mak- ing, and strongly advised farmers to go more into dairy farming. They had no doubt had h good deal of expdience in grain -raising and he Was quite sure they would admit that it did not pay. If they would try dairy farming, and carry it on properly, he was certain they they would not be, disappointed in the result. He would advise them to have the factory concluded on the commission system, which was generally adopted throughout the country, end by.w.hich the patrons received their full share of the profits. It was then moved by X. `Robb, seconded by Alex. Stewart, that this meeting deem it advisable to have the cheese manufactured, on the com- mission system, and that Mr. Leckie conduct the business, provided he se- cures the services of a good cheesemaker- Carried. Donald McLauchlan, W. G. Hingston and J. Broadfoot were appoint - as a committee of management, and Daniel Stewart:was appeinted auditor.. A committee* of two was appointed to canvass each route to ascertain how many . cows could be obtained; NORTV CAROLINA PLOWING. -An er- ror occutred in the sketch of Mr. Gov- enlock's visit to North -Carolina, by which itwas made to appear that in that country two plows are drawn by one mule or ox, whereas one plow only is drawn by such animal, ----and that is surely enough.

The junior ciasses read re- markably well. We should not be doing. justice to the fifth form in the school as it stands now, if we did not particular- ize them. For a common schoolethey stand high indeed, not alone in one branchbut in all the breeches- of their curriculum. To most of them school must soon be la thing of the past, bet if they give as much attention to the every- day business of life as they have evident- ly bestowed upon their school studies, a bright future must *awaic them.

The chair was occupied by Mr. James Wanlass, of Varna, and Mr. Hugh Love, Sr., of Hay, acted as Secre- tary. Although not largely attended, there was a fair representation of School Trustees and leading men, especially from the township of btanley. „ The circumstances which gave rise to this meeting seem to be, that a nimber of seetion-S in the township have not in some particulars, coinplied with the re- , quirenaents of the law Some have not sufficient school accommodationthe school grounds ot others are not suffi- ciently large , while others have failed to provide a second teacher when the at- teuclance was large enough to require an, assistant, according to the provisions of the law. The Inspector addressed a circular to the Trustees of each of these sections, notifying them that until they complied with the, requirements of the law, he woulcl be under the necessity of witholcling from them the Goverment money.1This gave rise to considerable °Jean and dissatisfaction in the various section:3 -so affected, and it was accord- ingly resolved to hold tile preeeet meeting for the purpose of consulting with each other, and further to consider the pres- ent school la-sv and the .proposed amend- ments thereto.

Although it has been e,onsidered by many a very poor winter's fishing, ,yet the money realized amounts to quite an item. Within an area of five miles along the shore, say two and a half miles north and two isild a half miles south of this place, the number of peo- ple, men and boys, employed at this work is supposed to be not less than 100. The number of nets used by each individual varies from three to eighteen, or an av erage of say 10 for eaCh Wier - man. That Would give 1,.000 nets. Those nets, an a low scale, average one dozen fish ea,chnet. That would be 1,000 dozen daily, selling at 20 cents per. doz- en, realizes $200 per day. But as fish- ing is -as much owing to luck as good management. while • some only make $5, others make $150. The whole, how- ever, would average .$50, each, leaving the round sum of not less than $5,000 as the pecuniary_result of the winter's fishing in this vicinity.

Moved in amenclinent by Mr. Hugh Love, Sr.. seconded by Hugh Love, Jr., 'that while this meeting might perhaps admit that in some slight particulars, in carrying out the amendoients to the School aet of 1871, there mavhave been an apfment interference withherights of the people yet upon the whole, that 'laid amendments are beneficial and in the interests of education." Mr. Love, the „mover of the amend- ment*, thought the meeting khould•confine itself to the discuision of the School law and the proposed amendments. The con- duct of the Inspector should not be dis- cussed here. He was the servant of the County Council. The County Council are the sentants of the people. if, there- fore, the Inspector had over -stepped his duties or done that whicb was wrong, it was very easy for the people to reach him. He denied, however, that M r. IVIillerlad over -stepped his duties. The law laid down a certain course for him to putsue, and as a faithful servant he was bound to pursue that coarse. The pres- ent Inspector had his full sympathy, and he believed him to be a zealous and th Droughly competent official. He had long fought for a national 'system of edu- cation, and was niost decidedly favorable to free schools. And although the com- pulsory system of education might be considered to encroach upon our rights, yet he could not see but it was just.

AN OLD INHABITANT GONE. -Mr. Rob- ert Gibson, of the township of MeKillop, died a few days ago after a lingering ill. ness, and. was followecl to the grave by a large number of People. The cause of Mr. Gibson's deatltwas paralysisehe hav- ing lout all power of the lower extremi- ties. No treatment was of any avail, and he died a slowlingering death, com- pletely worn out. He leaves a widow and family to mourn his loss. -On Thursday evening of last week Robert Carr, who live.s. on the bmindary of Culrose and Turnberry, upon return- ing .fiem his work found his wife ying upon the floor burned to a crisp. It is Supposed she was taking the wash -boiler bff the stove, when her clothes caught fire, and, fainting through fear, was burned to death. it there would be a great deal less fault found with it. Mr. Secord approved of the remarks !made by Mr. Love. The cause of edu- cation was one in which' we -.wete all much interested. He believed that the new school act was a great improvement upon the old, and he considered the present Inspector an efficient officer, and one who earnestly desired to do his duty. 1 Mr. McTavish had no particular fault with the Inspector, but with the law -un- der which he acts. The Inspector may be in some instances too arbitrary, bat generally speaking, he_ thought he en- deavored to do his duty. Mr. George Forrest said that before condemning the law as being too arbi- trary. we should give it a fair trial. As yet we could uot say how beneficial an effect these clauses considered arbitrary might have. He thought it wrong in condem- ning any law before giving it a fair trial. With regard to the provision for conarral- sory education, he thought we should refer to other countries and see the effect which. had there been produced by a similar system. He thought that Prus- sia was the only other country which had adoptecLthe system of compulsory education. The result was that the Prussian e were universaly acknowl- edged to be the beat educated, and most intelligent people in, the -world.

BOARD OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTI-0.N ELECTED. BY THE PEOPLE. Mr. McTavish had no doubt but the bare fact of this meeting being held * day would have a beneficial effect. Queitions such as those under considera- tion, were' not considered. nor discussed- - near enough by the people. He had a motion to move touching a question upon. which an expression of the meeting . should be ha& It was generally admit- - ted that the Chief Superintendent ex- ercised great powers. In the matter of - books alone it was startling how bust, Tf ness was conducted by the department, ' over which he presided. The Board. of Public Instruction have .a monopoly of --' the book -trade, and competition is not allowed. He had been informed by ii, , respectable book dealer that before the deparement established. this monopoly,- . the old Fifth Book could be bought for 25 cents, but now it could not be got for leas than 60 cents. This monopoly was . a thing -which should be put down, and the best means of doing so was, in his opinion, to bring the Chief .Superinten- dent and the Board of Public Instruc- tion into a position Where they would be directly responsible to the people. He therefore moved, " That it is the °Pie nion of this meeting that the Chief Sn- - . i perinten4nt and Board of Public th- struetion J,Should be elected by the peo- ple." -- , The chairman thought they were now iirtuatly elected by the voice of .the people. people. They were appointed by the ' Government The Government was - sustained by the people. If,-thereiore, the Board failed to perform its duty, and the Government refused to discharge it' and form a new Board, the peonle had it - in their powet to discharge- the Govern - meet. Mr. Laut thought the only way the people could deal with the Superinten- dent would be through Parliament. There being no seconder to Mr. Mc- Tayish's motion, it fell through. CHANGING OF TEXT BOOKS. Messrs. Lard, Forrest and ethers strongly condemned the -frequent and unnecessary changing of text books in use in the schools, and after being pret- ty thoroughly discussed in a converse tional way, the following resolution was , carried unanimously ;. Moved by Mr. L. Smith, seconded by Mr. John Gilmore, that it is the opinion of this meeting that too much power rests in the hands of the Chief Superin- tendent and Board of Public Instruction, ' regarding the regulations for the government of public schools; also that thie meeting strongly disapproves of the Ire- . queet and 'unnecessary changes in class books for use in public schools, and de- cidedly objects to there being anything like a book storein connection with. the Chief Superintendent's department, be lieving as we do that all should have a perfect right to buy and sell books when and where they please. TOWNSHIP BOARDS OF TRUSTEES. Moved by Mr. D. Youll, seconded by Mr. George Forrest, that in view of the' change of Local Boards to Township Boards of Trustee; this meeting is of --! the opinion that it woulti be better to leave the Trusttee Boards as at present . constituted. This motio'n was wermly supported by Mr. Love and others, and was carried unanimously. CENSURING- THE TEACHERS. - The chairman was „ surprised and grieved to see so few teachers present. All teachers in the township had been notified of the meetingpand, the small at- tendance preseut certainly- did not speak much to their credit. MEETINGS TO BE CONTINUED Moved by Mr. George Forrest, secon- ded by Mr. John .Gilmore, that this meeting adjourn to meet again on the last 'Saturday in June next, at one . o'clock P. M., in the school house, Var- na, for the purpose of considering and - discussing questions affecting 'education, and that all interested be requested to attend, and school trustees anii teachers of Stanley and surrounding townships specially requested. . This resolution was carried unani- mously, and after passing the usual vote of thanks the ineeting dispersed. 13111VTO W1101.113 NO. !a/1W Insolvent Aetof1869In . the matter of Jameg Leona d, an in- solvent.
