THE DAILY` TELEGRAPH. —:Our spirited
Toronto cotemporary, the Telegraph, has
considerably changed its style of get-up,
and, to out idea, much for the better.

advertisements. and using much Shialler
:type in news m'atter, it is enabled to

had threshed. •
Nkev SCHOOL SECTI0N4.—MR. EDITOR.
As your paper is reael by most of the
ratepayers in this township, a few words
on the above subject may not come enlist;
in it The new School Act of 1871 re-
quires every parent and guardian to send
air children between the ages of seven
and twelve years old, inclusive, to school
at least four months in the year, :and
parents are beginning to find out that an
ecliida.ted man is worth more as a farmer
or Mechanic), not to mention the profes-
go ,
rat
than an uneducated man. These
two circumstances have aroused Ithe
head, of families in this township in agi-
tating for new school sections, so arran.g-
ecl that every man can, send his child to
school, and, as the law requires; it is
the dlity of the Council toplan the Sec-
tions so that every child can. attend:
This children cannot de at present, on
account of the distance they are from
anyoschool The agitators Of neW see-
tinne are in hopes that the Council will
graut them this reci.uest this year. My
object for appearing before the public in
thes linea is to briarg before your readers
the iivisions already discussed by the
ratepayers, and give my own suggestion
in the matter. All parties wanting sec -
lions advocate remodeling the whole
township, and their plans are, the same,
with this exception : One party would.
mak [Inion Sections With Hallett and
ttohe ther with Logan ; but . those two
wn
hips have their sections set apart
nciw. 1 By this division there would lie
four blocks or four ;thousand acres in
each section and by such partition some
living on side roads on the rear of lots,
would have over three miles to go to
school.. My suggestion is to divide every
two concessions into tivo sections having
thirt -five lots to_ ea4h section, and a
'
schoo house on lots and. 27 on every
open oncession in the ownship, leaving
the first and sixteenth concessions to
form Uni0118 with Hibbert and ,Seaforth
on the front, =and. Grey and Morris on the
north, By this arrangement the school
house at the Catholic chapel and Seaforth
would be nearly in a line with the other
schools, and Walton is- in the right
place for one on the rear of the township,
leaving only one union to be formed with
Grey. By this - arrangement there
only No. 7 situated near the proper site.
Some parties will object to this on ac-
count :of building new -houses, but there
are only three houses in the township
worth! anything, viz. : Nos. 2, 4 and 6,
and sOme of tile lots. now too far from
any sehool have paid their share for the
whole Of those three, and certainly itis
not as hard for those having the *benefit
of good honse to build a second, as it is
for those to build a fourth who never had
a house at all. .
' The next advantage by this divisiOn is
every teacher will have about fifty schol!
ars on an average, counting fourteen
schools and four unions being equal to
silteen ; and if the 'salaries of the teacla-
ers av rage •$400, they will draw $100
-verag s fifty, leaving $10 to be collected.

LEGAL. —A certain widow ladyi in our
midst has for the past few days kept the -
village gossips in rather more than the
customary amount of news. A few days
ago a certain hotel keeper and the said.
lady happened to come in contact, when
she received from him, according, to hex --
version, a tirade of the most disgustingly
abusive language. She, of course, resent-
ed this, andto obtain satisfaction brought
-
her case before a certain J. P. in the
village . of Exeter. The case was dis-
missed with costs, not at all to the satis-
faction of the prosecutrix, who, thinking
-
herself wronged, intends, we,understand,
to appeal to higher authority. Your -
correspondent • refrains from giving

the injury, 4 was feared that be was -
seriously bruised, but medical examina-
tion proved that some -of the ribs were
fractured and pressed down from the
breast bone, which, with the exception
of some slight bra -rises were all the inju-
ries sustained. He is doing well and is
expected to be around in a few days.,
