My =Alsace INIsT,ITUTE ENTERTAIN-
BXENT.—The coMmittee have made arrangements
with the talented andpopulex young Elocutionist,
Mrs. Esther Owen Flint, Of Buffalo, to give. one of
her delightful entertabanaents in Cardno's Hall, on
Thursday evening, the 10th inst., for the benefit of
the Mechanics` Institute. The papers in all the
towns and cities where Mrs.. Flint has given
readings, speak of her in bhe highest terms of
praise, so we think the publichave a rich treat in
store, and wo hope they will turn out in large I
numbers. Music will be introduced in the' inter-
vals between the pieces. Several of the lady
amateurs have volunteered to assist. Mr. Hollis
will give one of his humorous local songs. 691.-

SCHOOL STATISTICS.—The averdge at-
tendance at the Seaforth Public School
in each department for the mouth end-
ing 31st January was as follows: Mr.
Menial's, 55; Mr. Cameron's, 46 ; Miss
Anderson's, 46; Miss Cowan's, 55 ; Miss
Hogarth's, 47 t, Miss Shaw's, 56; and.
Miss.Ma,bee's, 55, making a total aver-
age attendance at the school during the
month of 360. In several of the depart-
ments the attendance is very irregular
and parents do not attend to sending
their children to sehool so regularly as
they should, and thus do both their
children and the teachers an injustice.
THE FIRST OF THE SEASON.—The first
skating carnival of the season will 'be
held on the rink on Tuesday evening
next, when several excellent prizes[ will
he competed for. Should the weather
be favorable there will hea large at-
• tendance both of skaters and spectators,
as the young folks are making great
Preparations and expearto have a good
time- No efforts will be spared by Mr.'t
Xurphy and his assistants to make
everything as pleasant aud comfortable
as Possibfe for all who attend. This,
will likely be the only one that
wiltbe held this year and all who pos-
Sibly Oat should go.
igissso the last inuniciPEil
elections in this town, a, deputation
fr011i th,e hotel keepers waited upon the
several candidates; and assured; them
of the united hotel keeper's support and
influence if they would pledge them-
selves to vote for a reduction in the
license fee, and vice versa if they would
not do so. Same of thoscandidateg, we
believe a, majority of theta, gave this
pledge, and, if we mistake not, all the
pledged oxes were elected.. So far so
good. It was expected by mauy that
- the licenses would, of course, be redeced.
The time for changing the by-law ex-
pred on the lst of Djarch, and as no ,
clea,n.ge was made, the licenses remain
as before for anotaer year. The ehotel
• keepers, thinking the time extended
. -until the 1st of Mary when the licenses
expired neglected neglected getting up a petition
or asking the Catincil to make a change,
andthe pledged councillors were only
too glad to let the matter slip quietly
• by. The result is the hotel keeperare
mead, and councillors are chucklieg to'
themselves at having got over a difficult
a,ndempleasant question so easily. The
hotel keepers had the best of it at elec-
tion times, but the councillors have the
•joke on themnow.
.LVN ANOIENT Reeic.—We have been
shown by Mr. Robert Govenlock
relic in thelshape of a letter dated
Poland, April lst, 1844. This latter
was written by a cousin of Mr. Goven-
look's, resident there, and still residing
in Poland, and was addressed to , his
'allele, Mr. John' Govenlock. • It is a
sheet of foolsca,p, and the four sides are
literally covered with. writiug, which is
small and close. The sheet will con-
tain nearly as much as one page of THE
EXPOSIT0R, and is in itself a small news-
paper. We suppose postage was a good
deal higher in those days th.an.now, a,nd ,
consequently correspondents had "-to 4
make their missives correspondingly
lengthy. It was also written before the
• days of envelopes and_ postage stamps,
andbe sheet folded. with the address
ou the outer square, and it had been
sealed with wax. The . market qtiota-
tious in Poland are given as follows:
Wheat -18 shillings per English quarter ;
Rye, 9 ; Barley, 8 shillings ;
• Oats, 6 shilliegs ; Peas, 9 shilliugs and
Potatoes, 2 ; hay from 1,12- to 2
