We believe weave* advisedly when
we say there is scarcely another, class
in the community that has as little re.
gad for a written or unwritten en-
gagement as Cellegiate Institute and
Iiigh School teachers. In any other
calling an engagement for a yen'. means
what It Says, but these teachers, theugh
engaging for a year with a Board,
think nothiug Q.trYine for a -Position
that they think is a little better, no
matter what disadvantage to the Board
or school theiraleaving may inean„
There is, to our minds, a sad lack of
honor amongst these higher teachers,
on this point. When a teacher makes
an engagement he should fill it out,
and he should scorn to be seeking an-
other position, until his term ends. In
this respect the law needs changing. A
teacher's contract should be as binding
as any other. Of course this does not
apply to all teachers, but it does. to a
very large number, and the practise
should be stopped. •

The farm belonging to the Orr estate,
consisting of Lot 18 on the 131h Concession
of West Wawanosh, containing 200 acres,
was purchased by Meyers Edward and Wm.
3. blQuillen, for the sum of 119,000, Keisses-
Won to be given in January. This is a
splendid property and we congratulate
these gentlemen on their purchase.
James McClure, aged 25, son of Geo.
McClure,of the Township of MoKillop, near
Seaforth, who had been in poor health for
some time, diee very suddenly last
week of heart failure. Deceased had been
in the orchard a short time, and on return-
ing to the house sat down on the doorstep,
and was in the act of eating an apple when
he suddenly fell over and immediately ex-
pired.
The Stratford Beacon says: "Mr J. FL
Pyper has returned to Seaforth, where he
has entered into partnership with his old
employer, Mr J. Duncan, in the dry goods
business. Mr Pyper, during his ahort red
sidence here, made many warm friends
both in his business and social relations.
He took an active interest in temperance
workand also in the services ofthe Method-
ist Church, in both of whioh undertakings
he was ably assisted by his estimable wife.
Their many friends here, while regretting
their departure, trust that they will meet
with unbounded succese in Seaforth."
A farmer in Wawanosh bad a strange
experience a few days ago -so he says. He
was using a binder in a wheat field
when, in some unaccountable inanner, he
became entangled in the binding twine and
was carried up like a sheaf and dumped
down on theground with the wheat. Neither
he nor the machine were injared,so he took
bold of the lines again and went on with
Ms work as though nothing bad happened.
John Pastlethwaite had his foot badly
injured at Goderioh a few days ago, the
corner of a boiler having fallen upon it.
A bottle was recently found on the shore
of Lake Huron by Joseph Brenner, pro-
prietor and manager of the Grand Bend
Hotel, six miles south of that place, which
had been sent adrift on the 25th of July,
twenty miles north of Goderioh, by mem-
bers of the United States Department of
Agriculture Weather Bureau. A note was
inclosed in the bottle, asking the finder to
return it,and state where found,their object
being to find the drift of the current during
the time the bottle, was lost.

Alfred S. Ball, barrister -at -law, Wood-

by a, burglar, who had come in through
an open window, and was shot at four

assistance. She knocked the burglar
senseless, and afterwards tied him and

is now in jail. Mr Bali, although not
seriously injured; will be confined to
his room for several daye.
Many curiosity -seekers Thursday
visited a modest looking dwelling in
Comstock street, NewBrunswick, N. J.,
with a hope of getting a view of the
body of Purman Schenck, known as
Barnum's colored fat boy, who died
Wednesday of fatty degeneration of
the liver. He weighed 5M pounds at
the time of his death. Undertaker
Rogers has had a coffin made six feet
long and four feet two inches Wide.
and three feet ten inches deep.
The undertaker has been puzzled
in planning » for the removal of
the immense coffin from the house.
The door is not wide enough to permit
the coffin being carried out the front
entrance, and it will be carried by a
dozen men through the back door and
through an opening made in the fence.
There is not a hearse in New Bruns-
wick or anyadjacenttown large enough
for the extraordinary corpse, and the
coffin veil have to be conveyed to the
cemetery in a waggon. The relatives
wanted a public service at the Mt.
Zion colored church, but this was im-
possible on account of the aisles of the
church being too narroes to permit the
coffin being carried to the altar.
