JOHN SKINNER. 1048-1 was the man, although the description of the person he swore to corresponds very closely to Wilkin's appearance. Mr. Aird, the Manager of the. Bank of Commerce, sAiore positively that Wilkin is the man who offered the forged notes to him Mit he is not positive as to the exact date on which he called onhim. Mr. Colwell, of Mitehell, admitted that he drew the ' notes and recognized the writing in the body of: the notes as being his, but he would not, swear that Wilkin was the -man for whom he drew , 'Out the notes, nor yet wotild he swear that he was not. Mr. Smith also pro- duced a letter written by Wilkin to his sister, and the writing in this let-. ter corresponds so closely with that in the forged signatures that if both speci- mens were not written by the same per - sou there is a remarkable similarity be- tween them. However the case may be, the -magistrates did well to send it -to a higher court and if the proper man has been secured, we hope there will be no mieearriege of justice and that he i receive fitting punishment, THE OANTATAr—On, Friday evening next a Cantata, entitled "Under tho Palms,' will bc produced in Cardno's undor tho loadorship of Mr, T.

In deference to their wishes, the board postponed further coneideration.of the mistier until the opinion of the Minister of Education is obtained with regard to the power/ of/ aTownship Sobool Board to change a site without the conient of a majority 'of the rate-, payers. It seems by section 54 of the .Act that school sections are abolished, - yet for the purpose of school attendance the township must bedivided into school divisions. By, section 59, township boards are under all obligations as trus- tees of rural school sections, as well, those in cities and towns. Section 64 Obliges trustees in country places to get the consent of a majority of the rate- payers, and Section 113, sub -section 12, gives power to truetees to select a site, with or without the -consent of the rate- payers. The Minister will,: no doubt, have a hard nut to. 'crack. As a large number of the ratepayers in No. 2 Section objected to a temporary school being opened in Kippen, and as no suit- able room could be obtained there the board deemed it most advisable to re- quest the teacher to daily open the school and teach such scholars as may be present, as they feel convinced the fears of the parents of infection are purely imaginary. Several small accounts were passed and the Board adjourned.:' • A CITY Stock of Groceries bought at slow rate on the dollar will be for sale on and after Saturday, the 9th.

LA1DLAW,- AcorsEn OF FORGERY.—We stated some time ago that a stranger had. called at the North .American Banking .offidei in this town and discounted a coupleofnotes signed and endorsed by • good, reliable farmers in the townships • of Logen and McKi114. It ,,was soon afterwards ascertained that the signa- tures to these notes were forgeries .and they were repudiated by the parties who purported to have /deed them. For various, reasons suspicions rested upon a man named John Wilkin, a Ger '-- .man whose friends reside in -Logan and who had been on a visit to them from Scott City, Kansas. These suspicions became so strong and so apparently well founded that Mr. Smith dispatched Constable Dunlop to Kansas to bring Wilkin back to Canada if possible. Mr. Dunlop successfully accomplished his mission and arrived here with his man • on Saturday last. He was immediately taken before Justices Strong and Beat• - tie, an4.after an investigation was com- • mitted to stand, Ms trial at the next as- szzes JBail in the stun of $2,000 was ' tak�ifor his appearance. We under- _ staM that Wilkin says he has no knowledge of the affair ; that he has not been in Seaforth since 1882, and that he can prove at alibi. On the ether hand Mr. Smith at the investiga- tion could not swear positively that he ••. Kippen.

Sitouen BE" PUNISHED.—Last Tues- day evening a man who had .been im- bibing very freely was driving along the Kippen road, Mr, Robert 'Melba was driving ahead of him and the pole of the intoxicated man'ii sleigh struck Mr. Mellis on the side of the head and -glanced oft, otherwise he might have sustained fatal wounds. ,- When spoken to regarding his -furious driving the man got out of his sleigh and wanted- to fight, but was unable to stand up under his heavy load. If such men Were more • frequently brought to justice it might .have a wholesome effect on that class Of gentry. SI a THE PRECENTORSHIP OF 31!. ANDREW'S CHURCH. —MB. EDITOR.—A short para- graph, signed "A Member," appeared in THE EXPOSITOR last week on this question, and which might possibly mis- lead those- who do not thoroughlyunder- stand the true inwardness. Mr. Moodie, our past precentor, sang very efficiently for several years, for very little remuner- ation, and far below what is paid to precentors of equal musical abilities in other , similar Presbyterian congrega:, tions. Sometime ago he asked for an increase in salary, not an exorbitant in- crease either'but the managers were not disposed to grant it, -hence there was no other course open to Mr. MoOdie but _resign, which . he accordingly did. - It was thendecided to let :the position by tender, the lowest or any tender not necessarily binding. One would almost infer from the gist of "A Member's" remarks that he was booming the candi- dature of an applicant, but he affirms that the person whose name he mentions "stated that he did not want the pre-' centorship, and still Stands on the same - ground." Now, siva if such is the case, does not such a gratuitous advertise- • ment appear superfluous, as tbecongre. gation tif going to vote Only, on candi- dates who put in tendert? But perhaps -such an able eulogy may induce his can- didate to change his -mind, even at the eleventh hoer. IWe are informed that Mr. Moodie is a ain a caeclidate, and if such is correct we feel' certain he will receive the - a -pointment, as he is thoroughly coin etent in both thetheory and practice of music, - and is well versed in all modern methods. But tor . our civan part we would prefer if we had to make a choice, the music of forty years ago, to :het of an incompetent precentor attenrating to sing newifitegled tunes which he l knows - nothing about and breaking down in the -attempt. Musical talents are like other -commer- • cial comrnoditie , the aheapest are Very frequently the cleared in the end.— . . AXoirEE, Aims En: _ [As We unclerstan Mr. D.
