by fire last summer, your .brethren of
Moncrief Grange and neighbors were
sadly -grieved, and felt mach sympathy
for you in your loss. ?._,3ut as events
have since turned out, we have been led`
r to the belief that your loss was so or-
edaiiied by an all -wise Providence, Who
ordereth all things aright, to afford your
aeighbors and friends au opportunity of
testifying in a substantial manner the
respect and esteem in which you are
held amongst us as a truly Christian
man; a quiet, inoffensive iaeiglibor, and
an honored brother of our Order. We
liave erected on your premises a frame
barn, 54x40, to replacie that destroyed
by fire. This we now beg to present to
you, and we hope and trust - your in-
crease this season will fill it to over-
flowing. We else beg your acceptance
of tbis purse, the amount therein con-
tained remaining of the funds after fin-
ishing the barn. This will enable you
to replace some of the many articles of
husbandry which you had destroyed.
As you have just removed into your
new residence, we congratulate you on
the change, and express the hope that
yourself and Mrs. McNa.dr May long be
spared to enjoy its comforts. Wishing
you and yours long life and prosperity,
we, in behalf of Moncrief Grange No.

THE• SUPPER. — Active preparations
are in progress to make the compli-
mentary supper'
to Mr. Thomas Simp-
son, on Tuesday night next, a grand
success. It is expected there will be a
large attendance present to do honor to
an old and faithful municipal servant.
CHEESE FAC -TORY MEETING-. — The
meeting of patrons of the Brucefield
cheese factory held. on Saturday last
was one of the largest and most har-
monious meetings of the kind ever held.
- The chair was taken by Mr. G-eorge
Walker, and Mr. James Higgins was
appointed Secretary. A very full and
elaborate statement of the season's
business financially and otherwise was
read by Mr. Geb. Baird, Sr.-; one of the
• auditors, and was unanimously adopted
by the meeting as satisfactory, From
this statement we learn that during the
past season 1,109,442 pounds of nailk
were received at the factory, from which
104,487 pounds of cheese were made.
This eheese realized the sum of $6,533,
of which $3,757 were paid to the pa-
trons. Mr. McCartney, the proprietor
of the factory, offered to ma,ke the
cheese and draw the milk for thecom-
ing season for 2- cents per pound, fur-
nishing everything and guaranteeing a
-good article of cheese. It was ultimate-
ly decided. that if sufficient milkfis fur-
nished by the patrons to make 60 tons
of cheese, the price for making and
hauling be 2i cents per pound, but 'if
this amount be not forthcomina, the
pricebe 2a- cents. Mr. Hugh Mkart-
aaey was appointed salesman, and also
that he have the cheese taken to the
station on the most reasonable •terms.
• Meeks. Alex. Mustard, Wm. Sinclair
and Joseph Higgins were appointed. a
committee of management to co-operate
with Mr. McCartney in the manage-
ment of the factory. This eloped the
business of the meeting. We are glad
• to learn that the prospects of a good
season's business for this old and well
managed factory were never better than
this year, and instead of the make being
• 60 tons, it should be at least 100.
The Tackersinith School
Question.
Mn. EDITOR,—In the EXPOSITOR i3f
January 23rd, a certaAn person over the
signature of "A Parent,v asks for in-
formation as to the working of the town -
'Ship board. system, and at the seine
time attacke the School Board with
greet vigor. Now, sir, if you will kindly
permit, I will endeavor to dispel some
of his illusions on the school question.
In the first place, the township is not
saddled with the system for a period of
eight years, as 'Parent" assunies, un-.
less the ratepayers are satisfied with it,
as the law distinctly specifies and pro-
vides that the ratepayers in any town-
ship having adopted the township board.
system shall, after giving that system a
triel of five years, be allowedto vote a
return to the section system. His ac-
cosetion against the School Board in.
the matter of the special tax is without
foundation, as the School Board never
did levy or cause to be levied 'a special
tax for any purpose whatever. Next
comes his statement that the school -tax
has gone up 80 per cent. higher than
• ever before, which statement any per-
son cep prove td be false by examining
the school accounts. Alphough it will
hardly be expected that the School
'Bbard will be able to keep the eipendi-
ture quite as low as it was years ago
under the section system, when the rise
in teachers' salaries during the last ten
years, is taken into consideration, to-
gether with the fact that the Township
Board is raaintaining a greater number
of schools than were in existence under
-• the section system. And. -to show the
esteem in which the actions of the
• School Board is held by the ratepayers
of the township, 1 may state that seven
menibers .of the Board after having
served one term, and some of them two,
have all been re-elected, six of them
without opposition. Then the writer
proceeds to quote law like a broken-
down shy -iter, and pronounces sentence
on the offending School Board in a very
summary manner, but I am inclined to
think his law is like his facts, mostly
drawn from his imagination. But as he.
seems to think that this township pays
higher salarieato teachers than other
ilaces do, I will refer him to the In-
spector's report for the year 1878, which
is the last year for which a report is
published. In that report he quotes
highest salery paid by Tuckersuaith.

Seaforth $750 and 50O;$and in the
same report Mr. Dewar estimates the
tax in Tackersmith, after deducting ex:
penditures on building and balance on

ff
5.=8 $5.51, and the average expense for
the whole iuspectorate, after omitting
the expeudituee on buildinge, to- be per
pupil average attendance $9.02; and as
the School Board made a very large re-
• duotion of expenditure during the year

to be, sufficieut even to satisfy' "A

TUCERSILITH, ;Tannery 27, 1880.
—One evening last week a very de-
termined atternpt wee -made to -rob the
Grand. Trunk Station at Clinton, but
which was fortunately unsuccessful.
Entrance was gain.ed to the building by
the use of skeleton keys. _Once inside,
the would -be -burglars seerci to have
taken things' very deliberately. An
attempt was made to pry open the
safe by breaking the !hinges, a lever be-
ing used, and evidently the strength of
more than ooe person was required to in-
flict the injury which the safe sustain-
ed, but it 'was proof against their
efforts; the till was then broken open,
but it contained nothing; the ticket
.box was also forced open and -eleven
tickets taken therefrom, which ° is all
that was stolen. On taking their de-
parture, the burglars considerately
locked the doors after them.
