A COLLEGE F011 ALL,
We sincerely hope that the facts and 11. -
glues contained in the address to the rate-
payers by the High School Board, will be
carefully pondered by Ithose who cast
their votes on. Monday next. We are
strongly of opinion that the High School
by-law should be carricd,•ancl that if we,
allow this oppertunity of making Clinton
the Educational, as it is now the commer-
cial centre of the county, we will regret it
before long. In this endeavor to make
progress we think that no mere monetary
considerations should debar the ratepayers
arern voting for the by-law. If the by-law
be defeated some other town in the coun-
ty, within the next few mouths, will oh,
tain the prise.. ' •
To tho'se who object, on the ground that
--eh already high taxation will be increased,
It is clearly proven that the present rate is
amply sufficient temeet even the :annual'
sinking fund and intereat of the proposed
loan, and still have a surplus. It must be
remembered that in the co -ming year's es-
thisates, provision was made for a surplus
of about $1,001), and from tkis tile propos.
ed loan Will only take $361. This would
still leave over $600 towards the floating
debt,•or for other purposes.
It seems _clear' also that there needbe
hicrease in the annual grant from the
, because the. Board will receiv,e
00 in increased subsidies. from the
ent and COtiaty. Besides this

it would e but natural to expect a large

need to increa e the teaching Staff or the
salaries. • . '
Another point e. whichk we ail; special
attention, is the n esaity'sthat will exist

feated, of providing tit of the ordinary

'amount that will be requir d is about
$2,000, and to iaise that amount in any
:one year; will be a greater; Isprden neon

Beaaas.-A sale of farm stock, on the
farm of the late Thos Brown, takes place
on lot 20, 6th con., ,on the 14th inst.-
About 100 appeate have been entered by
the Reformers against the Vetere List of
the township, and a large number by the
Conservatives; court for hearing them
will be held in the Temperance Hall, on
the 27th inst. Mr. -J. Kilty,-accompan-
ied by her son and daughter, Smith Kitty
and Mrs. Cullerford: returned from
Houghton, Mich., on MontlaY.
Trawassa-Mrs, Leitch, near Kinburn,
has lain for about eight weeks in e very
painful and critical condition, ftom the
fracture and dislocation of her thigh. Her
many friends have but little, if any hope
of her final recovery. She has the syna•
pathy of the community at large. ,There
are A great many oases of summer com-
plaint in this township; in some cases
whole families have suffered more' or less,
though none of them have been fatal.
Several children of 1V1r.Addisonis,of Bran.
don, are down with scarlet fever; some of
them are in a dangerous pondition.
PLENry TSrstr YET .A.TaYE.-The
fools in this township are not all dead
yet ; some Of them went to the circus, and •
thought they knew better than the men
with the nuts and peas, where he had put
the pea, and could beat him at his own'
game. They supposed they knew all
about the pea, but found they did not
Imp* benne, and came home With a much
lighter purse,as a result of their gambling„
adventure. They are more laughed at •
than pitied: They ought to have kicked.
themselves home, and staid there till they
grew wiser and better. •
We had supposed from the pitiable
tale S that were told when appeals were
made to christian benevolence, that:there
was little or no money in the township.
But when circus Morning carne, we found
out the , mistake, Plenty of people who
could not give a quarter to a good cause
nor even pay their long due bills, -were
found on the road tsith their tamilies,
waiting a chance to s patronize ti circus
frauds and:divert. themselves and expose
their families to the coarsest vulgarity of
the profane crowd in the circus ring --at
any cost Some who were.' considered f
the bettermoral or even religious class,
quieted their conscience by the Make-be-
lieve that they were going to see the
"wild beasts." It is .wonderful how even
christian people can invent excuses for
their sins. Some appear to have been •
among the wild " beasts of Ephesus," as
well as those in the circus, as theY carrie'd
the marke- home with. them'. They will
not.do it again.

are many larger mills in the country, there
pan be no better, and it is so guaranteed by
