Full report of Tuesday's city mar- kets will be found on page 2 ; no local paper gives fuller and later market reports than the ' Advance, In addi- tion, we might say that the export cattle trade at present is somewhat depressed, and only the best fed are finding the top price.

Several schools in Huron county report that they are without. There are so many avenues opening for young people as telegraph operators, typewriters, etc., at good salaries, -that they find it pays better than teaching at the ridiculously low ' salaries that have been the rule in rural schools for the past few years. • With the higher qualifications neces- Dr. Scott, of Sanilac Centre, Mich., sary, and the professional training attended the funeral.

' orsnecl that the is tnf The Advance township of Turnberiy may appeal from the decision of Judge Doyle, de- claring the Electric Light plant of the town of Winghant not assessable, be- cause it is municipal property. As we understand the case, appeal may be taken, providing the county judge giving the judgment, gives his con- sent, and we are informed that Judge Doyle consents. The appeal in that case goes to the Lieutenant.Governoi who appoints a judge of the Court of Appeal to hear the argument. This judge may, if he wishes, have the case brought before the whole Court of Appeal, so that if the township de- cides to appeal from Judge Doyle's judgment, the enol is not yet, and the costs have scarcely begun.
