CURLING AND SKATING RINK. —=
meeting was held in the council chamber.
on Monday evening, for the purpose of
considering the .propriety of forming.a
joint stock company -to erect and maintain.
a curling and skating rink. Mayor For;
rester. presided: After a general Conver-
sation about the matter, in which it ap-
peared that all present were favorable to
the project, a committee was formed for.
the purpose of making a report.: upon
available sites, and the cost of a building.
Promises of about 50 shares, at $10 a
share, were secured on the spot, with little.
'effort, and no doubt the stock, when fully
decided on, will be rapidly subscribed. •
A. FIEA:VY PENALTY. --Tho town 'Clerk.
of Seafortb has laid himself liable to have
imposed upon him the somewhat severe.
' penalty of $200, for neglecting to have.his
Voters' List ready in the time specifled.by
statute. We.do not know whether the
fault lies with the. Clerk or . the printer,
but if with the latter, as we suspect is the,
case, we hope those members of the.Coun-'
cif who voted to. give the town printing
into incompetent bands will now have the•
decency to put their bands into their own
.pockets and paythe fine for the. Clerk, as'
we- understanhe is to be proceeded
,against. --Expositor, [We khow of. two
totunship.. clerks in the• county, :who are
liable to •a similar action because ,their
