The spread • was got up in the best style, and reflect- ed credit on the genial host Captain Cox. The compapy numbered over 60.

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.

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 ? .
