"That we desire to express our pro- found sorrow and regret, occasioned by the decease of the late lamented Mr. Asher Cousins, an active and highly esteemed member of our association; we also desire to express our moat heart- felt condolence with the bereaved family in the, being deprived of their son and hope, and at the commencement of a career which the high abilities and man- ly dignity, as well as the diligence and seal of the young man were ceatain to clair to $1 per week. honor and exalt."

Mr. Gage, of the "Canada School Journal," proposed a scheme by which ealk paid member of the association, should be furnished with the Journal at reduced rates, the members being con- sidered u a club, and the society paying the entire contribution. This scheme was adopted, and had the immediate effect of greatly increasing the member- ship, as a fifty cent fee would thus en- title each member to the right of dis- cusaion, in the society, the privilege of reading the newly -established library, and the receipt of the "Journal," the ordinary contribution of which is one dollar. Mr. Duffs admirable method of elu- cidating "Mensuration," was fully appreciated, and must be worth a great deal to all young teachers. Mr. Groves paper on "Practical Grammar" was all that the name im- plies, full of sound ideas, the outcome of careful thought, keen observation, and attentive reading. He placed great importance upon reading and coin - nn iera • e e position. Frons a t ry. tamp int, this paper might be taken as a model of condensed thought and good English. The entertainment given in the even- ing, under the auspices of the association was something nut of the usual line, and consisted of short and pointed addresses by prominent men in the teaching pro- fession, and gentlemen of the town, who kindly volunteered assistance. Among the latter were, Dr. Vercoe, D. D. Wil- son, Esq., Mr. McCaughey, Rev. Messrs McCoy and Musgrove, while Messrs. Dewar, Ferguson, and Clarkson, repre- sented the profession. The addresses were most appreciable, and .hewed that there are many men outside of the school that are profoundly alive to the great and fundamental problem of primary education. A reading, "The Ialesman of the west," given by Mr. Mullholland, was really a brilliant effort, .hewing the reader to be in possession of the true spirit of interpretation and also the rare gifts of a splendidly pure oratorical voice and a faultless articulation. But the greatest charm of the enter- tainment was the vocal and instrumental music rendered by Mises Welsh Foster, in company with Messrs. Joslen and Cline. The quartettes, "Keep towers upon my grave," and "We are drifting down to sea," were particularly fine and were deservedly encored, oath required,the following appeals wero taken up, viz:—Isaac Fisher's appeal on the ground of o;er assessment. Joseph Stitt's, on similar grounds. John Brec- kinridge over assessment, and claims not to be owner or occupant of land assessed to him. Horace Horton'sappeal against Wm. Campbell being assessed as Presi- dent of Victbria P. Co. also over assess- ment in amount of acreage and value. J. O. Stewart over assessment.— Thomas Burns over assessment. The appeals were decided as follows via: --- The assessor was sustained in the case of Isaac Fisher, J. 0. Stewart, Thomas Burns and John Breckinridge. In the case of Horace Horton the Assessor was sustained in the valuation, and Robert Gibbons was placed on the roll as Presi- dent and Wm. Campbell as joint owner the acreage was reduced from four scree to one that being the amount actually owned by said Company. Joseph Stitt's assessment was reduced $200.00. Owen McAroy's name was placed on the roll in place of Peter Nicholson. Wm. Potts was placed on the roll as owner of lots 4 and 5, block C. in place of Wm. Stan - bury. Thomas Dodds name was insert- ed on the roll in place of Mrs Buchanan. The assessment roll was then examined by the Council, found correct and ac- cepted as the correct roll for 1881. The Court then arose and formed a Council for the despatch of ordinary business. It was moved and seconded that the Clerk notify. the Trustees of S. S. No. 1. under 44 \ notify. chap. 26, to have 3 wires placed in the centre of the fence belong- ing to said sections the two centre boards to be removed, and said wires to be placed instead—Carried. Moved by A. Allan, seconded by A. Malloy that the sum of $10,00 be given to Mrs. Sander- son as charity—Carried. Communica- tion from the Ashfield Council in regard to expending money on the boundary line—to be filed. The Clerk was order- ed to draft a by-law to clow up and sell the original road allowance on the 8th con. opposite lot 13. And to post up and advertise the necessary notices, the same haring been sold to S. Yates for the sum of $30.00; in addition to the cost of advertising etc. The Assessor received the sum of $60.00; part pay- ment for services as such. The Council then adjourned to meet again on the 31st May, to revise the by-laws of the Township. 3. A. McDoleaox, Clerk. CROCKER"T .ti1NTR GROCERIES. SPLENDID ASSORTMENT. J. C.
