FARM FOR SALE. new Education Act, passed by the Legislature at its last session, has al- ready done for Outerio schools and; teachers is evidenced by a comparison of the List of advei•tiseruents of teach- ers wanted which appeared in a paper on Saturday last and that which ap- peared in the same paper on the last Saturday of October, 1905. • The most striking feature of the comparison is the rapidly` diminishing frequency of what many educationists term the pernicious "state salary" clause. In October, 1905,, in advertise- ments for 3i teachers in Ontario, 27 of the number asked the applicant to "state salary";. this monde there are 26 advertisements and in only seven of that number is the applicant asked to bid. upon the salary basis, It is learned officially that the de- partment of education has upder con- sideration at the present time a regu- lation aimed to do away entirely with this much -condemned and unprofess- ional way of advertising. Of the six advertisements which mentioned salaries in 1905, two were for High School teachers. The four for Public School teachers • were at. $350 for a conutry school, $400 for two town schools, and $450 for a first-class certificate teacher. The advertisements of this month for country teachers call for salaries of $450 in seven cases, $500 in six cases MOO in one town case, ,end. $75,0 fora first-class certificate teacher. In to o cases $350 is offered for an assistant, and in one of these the clause is ap- pended "no application accepted un- der $350." The comparison would go to show that, the Public school teachers' sal- aries have increased by from $100 to $400 per annum as a result of the new act and the present scarcity of appli- cants. The undersigned is offering fox sale his desirable farm in Stanley, situated on Con. '7, containing 175 acres; Ys mile from school, 9( miles from Presbyter- ian and Methodist churches and Post Office; 7 miles from Hensall, 4 from Kippen station; _there is on the premises 8 barns, one 64x40, one 7 ox2S and one 50x28 all in good repair, comfortable frame and log house, good hearing orchard, 22 acres wheat sown, all well fenced; 100 acres well underdrained, the remaining 75 acres being well drained by the tp. ditch running through it; a never failing well at house, with new Brantford pumping mill, also never -failing spring back of ferry. This farm is in a first-class state of cultivation and is situated in one of the best grain growing localities in the Province. Will. be sold cheap and on terms to suit purchaser.

POISONED BY EATING SAUSAGE St. Marys, Oct. 27.-A- family, a few days ago, bought at one of the stores in town some pork sausage that was imported into the town from Toronto. They cooked the sausage and after par- taking of them were all taken serious- ly ill, showing strong symptoms of poisoning. Prompt medical remedies were used and the members of the fam- ily were rescued from the jaws of death, although they still feel the ef- fects of their sudden illness. ST. MARYS DOINGS. St. Marys, Oct. 29. -Two important matters came up at this evenings meeting of the town council. The first of these was local option. A petition WAS presented by Rev. IL Graham, bearing the names of the required 25 per cent of ratepayers. As a result of this, St. Marys, will soon be in the throes of a local option .campaign. The second question was the North Midland Railway bylaw. The draft draws up at last meeting was agreed to with very few changes. By the by-law the town will loan $40,000 to the North Midland Railway Company to assist in building an electric road between London and St. Marys. The power house and huildings are to be in St. Marys. E. C. °raisins, an Oxford graduate, and Dan Mackenzie were burned to. death when the Chilliwaok court Boase and jail were destroyed liy fire. • Crediton The Advocate is 15c. to end of year Miss Kate Zwicker of London is as- sisting Miss Calvin in the millinery de- partment of 0.

Sunday the second snow- storm occurred. From a clinging, wa- ter substance, the snow finally took the form of the real winter article and Monday Morning our citizens found the earth covered with a white blank- et about three 'inches thick. There was no bottom for the snow and it has melted and covered the roads and side- walks with rnud .and shush. One re- sult of the advent, of snow is the rush of furs and rubbers. It is also a com- mon sight to see our people going to the hard wear store for stovepipes and other supplies to put their stoves in working order. Solve SERvecE.-The song service given in the Evangelical church on Sunday evening was well attended despite the very inclement weather and all present • enjoyed then:service very mach. Rev.

Miss Clara Ha ist sang that beautiful solo, "Dream of• Paradise." She has a clear, sweet voice; and her. singing was much en- joyed. The duet by Rev. Bean and wife Wes heartily appreciated, it being the well-known songsiingat the Tarry Alexander meetings, "Tell Mother I'll be There." The service closed with the benediction and prayer. These kind of services are appreciated by both old and young. Wesley Stephens, clatning to hail from Lucan, Ont, says that ha was robbed of $380 iu Detroit last week.

There were very few people in town from the country for the uanal Saturday trad- ing. The sleet storm on Sunday has. helped to put the finishing touches on the muddy roads leading to town. The attendance at church on Sunday was also on the decrease. --The cider mill here will run only three days next week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs. day,after which time it will shut down for this year.

ACCIDENT —A sad accident occurred on Thursday night of last week as those who were present at the dance at Mr. Philip Bastard's held that evening were returning home. It seems some thing went wrong withRuehen Goetz's haruess and he got out to fix it when the other rigs, which were following at a rapid gait, crashed into the stand- ing buregy causing a general stampede with theresultthat onehorseraa away. In the rig were seated two gentlemen and two ladies. The 'horse was going at breakneck speed, the driver got hurl - en from the seat in the mixup, the lines were nowhere to be found. Only one thing remained to be done in order to escape being hurled into eternitywhrch seemed eminent—to take chances and leap from the bounding vehicle which they did with the result that Miss Effie Willert, one of the yonng ladies, broke her leg near the thigh. The rest of the party escaped unhurt with the ex- ception of a few bruises and a good shaking up. We feel sorry at the un- fortunate affair as it seems to be a bad fracture and may lay Miss Willert up for the most of the winter. The Literary entertainment of the Epworth League on Tuesday evening was quite largely attended.. Miss A. Tucker, President of the Bethany League, was voted to the chair. The principal feature of the program was the debate: Resolved that Paul was a greater man than Moses. The debat- ers were: Affirinative,Jno Wright and LeRoy Ooultis; Negative, Chas.

He asked the ratepayers to be present that he might explain the working of the new school law andalso poinnt out the advantage of having three teachers in our school and not have the school in such a crowded condition as it is at the present time. with forty pupils in the first class and then expect a teacher to do good work and make a good showing.

They -are Very Reasonable • fault-finding yet we consider we have full right to voice our opinion in mat- ters pertaining to the welfare of the public and we have always considered it wrong to have only two teachers in our school with the attendance .there- has been, except only perhaps wiled sickness or rough weather prevented many of the smaller ones from attend- ing. We also contend,that if a teach- er has forty scholars it is ail they should be expected to do justice to in theline of teaching. If a teacher can't d., justice to this number such teacherse should step down and out. We have• no sympathy with lazy teachers nor have weeny desire to see a teacher - over worked.
