THE HOTEL6.-The new License Law,
now under consideration by the Ontario
Legislature will make a considerable thin-

Tao Warinex's Sueeen.-On Thurs-
day evening of last week Mr. Leckie, the
newly elected Warden of the County of
Huron, entertained the members of the
County Council and a number of friends
at a complimentary supper at the British
• Exchange Hotel, Goderie.h. The spread
• was got up in the best style, and reflect-
ed credit on the genial host Captain Cox.
The compapy numbered over 60. Among'
those present, besides the members of
the County Council, we noticed Thomas

Attorney, Mr. Adamson, County Clerk,
Mr. Dickson, Postmaster, Goderich, Mr.
Danie1cDonald, and many others of
more or less note whose names we did
not obtain. A few ho rs were very
pleasantly spent in toast, sentiment and
• song, and at an early ho r the company
• separated, each feeling no doubt that he
had done his duty to himself and to the
newly elected Warden.
• Oen PUBLIC SCHOOLS. -No better in-
dex of the progress Seaforth is makin• g
care be given than the continuous aud.
rapid increase of the children in attend-
ance at the public school. As we notice
• by the annual report of the trustees, the
• attendance has more than doubled with-
in the past five years. 'Fite years ago
• there were only three teachers employed,
this year there are 80'4, and still some
of the departments axe; over crowded,
The school building, which has been al-
• ready twice enlarged, has again become
too small, -and in order to afford the
-necessary accommodation the trustees
are forced. to secure the erection of an-
other wing during the coming summer.
There are now two male and five female
teach ere employ -ed. The salaries paid
are as follows : First, $650, 2d, $450,
3d, 8340 ; 4th, $300; 5th, $250; 6th,
$250; 7th, $225; making a total for
salaries of $2,435 per annum. During
the tLx half -of 1875 the average daily
attendance of pupils was 336, and during
the last six Months of the year the aver-
age was 315. Aceordipg, to the census
recently taken there are 592 children be-
tween the ages of 5 and 16 attending
school, and only three between the ages

AN ANCI .NT SCHOOL Bo*. -- In these
days of progress we think the attention
of the County School inspeetor should
be drawn tothe tact of the existence of
such a building,' called. a school house,
which is sitnated on Lot 6, gon. 6, Grey
-we can't give the number of section;
in fact, it ought not to have a number.
It is an olid dilapidated log building,
with ceiling about seven feet high ; very
cold in winter and close and disagreeable
in summer no water fit to use nearer
than 20 rods. This building is sur-
rounded by some of the best farms and
farmers in the township, and how is it
that such building is allowed to be
used for a school house ? Is it because
• the ratenayeas in the section do not wish ,
to vacatethlis antique relic df a country
school house, or is it the cost of the erec-
tion of such a building as the section
should have ? . Be what it maiy, the mat-
ter ought to be looked into.--1-Com.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY. -On 'Monday after-

span of horses attached to a putter. The
lady had occasion to go into pilr. Thomp-
son's, weaver, and left the leorses untied
at the door. Her son, p iittle lad of
about five years of age, was sitting in the
cutter. During her absence, the animals
became frightened and liaide towards

was greatly frightened and Cried loudly
for help, which caused the horses to run
still faster. After running *bout a mile
and a half the pddr little fellow was
thrown . from the cutter, and was taken
up in an ttlICOUSCi0118 state: He was badly

Township School Boards.
MR. EDIT0R, : As THE EXPOSITOR is
the medium through which we look for
information regarding the workings of
ouncils and School Boards in our own
ounty, I would wish to see something
iiegarding the workings of township
Boards of school trustees. The system
has been tried for one year in some town -
hips. The enjoinder and rebuttals on
he Tuc ' ninth nomination gave us no
'nformat on On the school Board question.
r. Bish p states in the House he has
ever heard of a township once electing
Beard vishing .section trustees again.
think township Boards are cheaper to
the ratepayers than the various section
Boards are. If I am correctly informed
the clerk eon§ as secretary,and the one
treasurcr1 does in the township. Now, the
Various t wnships pay about $8 a year
for postage, sorne trustees charging near-
ly $2postage.ilThe township treasurer
receives bout $60 a year for salary, some
Trustees ch rge $10 and the township
poard woulci not need all these expenses
which woul4 be a considerable saving to
s township with a dozen sections. Then
the sections ban be divided so if one is
Smaller than another it has no more taxes
and they be divided so as to shorten the
istance for a greater number of children.

a tie. He is the only qualified elector
who is disqiialified by the act. In his
first letter your correspondent says he
