This was tether a perilous position to be in, lying across a well, seven feet -from the surface, and not a living soul within reach. -For- tunately for himself, Mr. Duncan in this trying position retained his preeciice of mind, and keeping his knees stiff :he managed to remain without sinking further for about five minutes. He at length concluded to make an attempt to gain his liberty, and, accordingly, keep- ing himself finally braced, he managed to work one shoulder and one foot up, arid then the other, and. so on in this man - nee until he reached the surface again. The danger of the position may be imagined when we state that the well is 37 feet deep, and contained water to the depth of 30 feet. Had Mr. Delman not fallen across the well as he did, or had his support given way in the slightest, THERE HAS been a tremendous rush at his seco d, feSt411g place, he would, at Wilson & Young's the lasttwo weeks for ceockery and Olin& witre.

Mr. Elder is just the kind of man that is required as a manager of , . municipal affairs, and we are sorry that he refuses to grant hes services where they would be of great benefit not only to his constituents but to the public generally.

The Post Master at Brussels has been blamed for remissness of duty in allow- ing the letter to go astray. The follow- ing telegram film Mr. Griffin Post Of- fice Inspector, to the Post Master at Brussels, and which has been banded us for publication, should set the Bruss sels Post Office right in the matter. The following is the substance of the tele- aram referred to: In the case of the •" H.-ughes letter, your Post Office was " 4tirely free from blame, and you may " what use you please of this."

GIBSON. -.An occur- rence of a most painful nature, has spread quite a gloom over this village during the last week. On Sunday after- noon, the 5th inst., while Mrs. Gibson . (wife of the Rev. H. Gibson) was in the act of praying in the school which she personally superintended, she was ob- served to throw her hands up, exclaim- ing, , " Oh I my head." Ar cutter was immediate1y sent for, and)Dr. Stanbury „ was soon ir attendance, but so severe was the attack i.hat she had to be laid on a robe on the snow, from whence she was carried on a sofa into Mr. Keys house, where she breathed her last on Tuesday evening following, never having been conscious since the Sunday. Great sympathy is felt for the Rev. Gentlemen and family for their irreparable loss. The deceased lady took an active part in all matters connected with the church, and was a most zealous Christian : her loss will long be felt by young and old, and the memory of her many kind acts, particulary to the poor, will have a rest- ing place in their grateful and sorrowing hearts. . THE SCHOOL lionse.-A new addition - to the school house is just completed, and the extra, room, 20x28, will be a great boon to the scholars, as it was much wanted. Mr. James Williamson, of the Commercial Hotel, had the con- tract for the brick work and plastering, °and has given decided satisfaction with the work. BOAT BuILDING.-Beat bliildino will 0 be pretty lively here this Winter, there being four new boats on the stocks to be ready for the spring fishing.--8igna/. Bluevale. PUP,LIC SCHOOL EXAMINA.TION. -The closing annual examination of Bluevale Publie School will take place crn Tuesday, 22nc1 inst.- Mr. Dewar, Public School Inspector, is expected to be in attend- aoce, and a number of teachers are like- wise expected. The junior department will be examined in the forenoon, and the senior in the- afternoon. Exercises comnaence at 9 A. M. and. 1 P. M. re- spectively. Parents, guardians and frierid.s are respectfully invited to attend. ,We hope a large number of those inter- ested. will be present. LECTURE. --Professor Brush, the re- 1. nown.ed horse educator, delivered a ;lec- ture in Mr. Stowe's Hall, on Monday evening last, on the character 'and- edu- cation of the horse. As the evening was intensely cold. the audience was smiill. After the lecture was over the Professor •said that he should like to form a class in the village in order that the young men of the neighborhood might become first- class horsemen: Quite a number jailed the class and received their first lesson on Tuesday afternoon, and appeared to be well satisfied with the Professor so far. We hope that they will profit by the in- struction they receive. Tuckersmith. To-wilsnir SCHOOL BOARDS. -We un- derstani that by instructions from Mr Dewar, Public School Inspector, a vote of the householders and freeholdsrs of the township of Tuckersmith will be taken at the following times and places, to decide whether or not a Township Sehool Boatd shall be established in Tuckersmith : School Section No. 9, Dec. 22, 1874, 7 o'clock- E. M.; School Section No. 7, Dec, 21, 1 o'clock P. M.; School Section No. 8, Dec. 21, 7 o'clock P. M.; School Section No. 3, Dec. 23, 6 o'clock P. M.; School Section No. 11, Dec. 22, 1 o'clock P. M.; School Section No. 6, Dec. 23, 9 o'clock .A. M.; School Section No. 4, Dec. 23, 2 o'clock P. M.; School Section No. 2, Dec. 24, 9 o'clock A. M.; School Section. No. 1, Dec. 24, 2 o'clock P. M. We should like to see the township of Tuckersmith set an exa,naple in the mat- ter of the establishment of Township School Boards. We feel convinced. that the cause of education would be greatly advantaged if the Township Board sys- tem were generally adopted. In order to make the machinery work smoothly and satisfactorily some difficulties woald, no doubt, require to be overcome, but no goodeReform was ever inaugurated that difficulties in working out the details were not experienced. The school tax would be more justly and evenly dis- tributed over the township. Under the present system it frequently occurs that one ratepayer, in whose School Section there is a comfortable and commodious school building, has only about $9 per annum sohool tax to pay, while a neigh- bor, with property not any more valu- able, has twice that amount to pay, and that too for very much inferior tui- tion and accomnaodation. This is not just. To properly educate the masses is a public good, and the burden of this education should be equally borne by all. Besides this, a superior class of teachers would be employed. In many insta ces new sections are so small or so poo as not to be able to employ the aerviceh of a competent teacher, but if all con- tributed in the same proportion the sev- eral teachers of a municipality- would re- quire to be more nearly on an equality as to ability and attainments. The chil- dren would, therefore, upon the whole, be better educated, and. the public gen- erally would be more largely benefitted. The Township Board system is strongly recomm.endel by most of those who have given the subject of education their most earnest study, and we are not surprised that it should be so, for it has many ad- vantages. We hope that a large vote will be east in Tuckersmibla and that a majority of the votes will be in favor of a Township Board. • Winghain. /s11w.

The stage proprietors also engage to carry freight to and from the roxeter station, Express and. other parcels carefully attended to. ACCIDENT. -A severe accident occur- red in -West Wa-wanosh lately by which David . Alexa,ndor came near losing is life. It appears he was working about a threshing machine while in motion, when some of his doilies got caught in the machine; binding him up so tightly that he was almost choked. He was got out as quickly as possible, raeclical aid. sent for, and. the poor fellow is now getting better. No bones were broken, but he was severely injured. internally. THE RAILWAY. -The Southern Exten- sion. not yet being opened, the Wingb.aan people have had to look in another diree- tion for railroad facehties. A connec- tion has been obtainecl with the Toronto road, about three and a half miles from Wingham, and the merchants, grain buyers,_millers and others are now ship- ping goods by that route. The contract for building a station at the switch has also. been let to Mr. Ingraham, of Turn - berry, who is hurrying it up as fast as the weather will permit.----Adveince. • Londesborough.

The Itodgerville Chees e Factory; The annual meeting of the patrons o the Rodgerville cheese factory was bei on Saturday, Dec. 12, Mr. Samuel Smillie was called to the chair, and Robt. Montieth acted as secretary. The annual report was read and shewed that 1,556,- 983 lbs. had. been taken at the factory which inade 152,675 lbsof cheese, which Iwas sold for $18,688.50 ; the average pounds of milk taken to make a pound of cheese for the season was 10.19; the air- erage price which -the patrons received after paying for the manufacturing and drawing was 9i cents. It was then moved seconded and carried that the report be dopted. Mr. Malcohn stated that the rate Olowed for drawing last season was not sufficient ; that it had cost him much more, and asked to be allowed 1 cent per I- 10 lbs. instead of three-quartersof adqut. A good deal of discussion arose -and fin- ally at the end of tbe meeting it was proposed that Mr. Malcolm be allowed $2.60 per 100, being an advance of 10 cents on last year, which was carried and Mr. Malcolm accepted_ the offer. It was moved, seconded and carried., that there be no inspector for next season, also -that no milk be lifted by the dra,wers hefore 6 o'clock in the morning and 5 in the evening, that MessrsaJas.

REVLSION OF VOTERS' LISTS -Consid- erable difficulty has been experienced in Goderich Township inlhaving the voters' lists revised. Whent;the court for the trial of appeals first met, the counsel for the Conservative party objected to the scrutiny being proceeded with, on the ground that the necessary notices relat- ing to the lists had been signed by a clerk who bad since become deceased. This objection was over -ruled. Another objection was raised against the lists of appeals preseuted by Reformers against ConserVatives, on the ground that the appellant in one instance did not sign the appeal notice furnished the Clerk until the time for entering- appeals had expir- ed; aad the objection taken to the second list of appeals was that the appellant is not a ratepayer in. the township. Beth these objections have been held good by Judge Toms, who has decided that, on account of these informalities, the tral of the Reform appeals against Conser+a,- tives cannot be proceeded with. A mandamus is being applied for to com- pel the Judge to revise the lists, not- withstanding his decision, -whicb it is eontencled is not sustainable on the grounds taken. There seems to have been a good deal of " lauuker-sliding" on both sides in this matter, and it would lie a good thing if it were settled one way or the other. • McKillop.
