To the Editor of the Iluron Expositor. St I am living in Brussels at pres- eut, and have been here a few months, s and I often come across your valuable " paper. I can truly say it is the best pa- per, outside of a city, that I have seen in Canada. I wish youi to publish these few lines in your journal, not that I have any particular wish to become a reporter, &c., or any complaint to make ia particle. lar. However, there are some things in Brunets that 1 like to see,such as its be- : ing a stirrieg place of butiness, and im- provernents going on in buildings and on 4 the streets, and the inhabitants generally , seem to be a civil and church going peo- 'n; ple. Bat there are things and doings here ' that I do not like to see. Drinking) in- toxicating liquors is carried on largely, both on week days, and very often onat- nrday nights, and on Sunday. There is one "free hotel," or temperance house, a that does a thriving trade, when the t other houses are shut up, which is very t accommodating to a large number of suckers. By the by, one day last week one of your townsmen came in here and get tight, and there was a certain man, of large aize, who assaulted, your townsnian and battered him in a. rough manner, just because some one (I heard it was one Tom Smith) puahed poor Donald, ( ) up. agaiust the window, and for being push- ed for "nothing," he hadto take a good - pounding. And Donald was givon a free night's lodgings in the lock-up, and was fineda$1 and. costs in the morning, as also was another man whom theywere calling James Nose Thompsoa, who was very disorderly on the street. There appears to be a small gang here, alwaya ready to assault the poor drunkard, and the con- stables let thent slip and take hold of everypoor unfortunate wretch that makes himself worse than a beast. Your, &c., Fare PLAY. s. 11 BsusiFfr,s, Aug. A. New Idea, Tu-- the Editar qf the 11 urou Ex7i0.4itor. Sin I noticed in your last issue an item stating that the alit ratepayers were feeling as if they- were " paying toe much Tor their whistle," in the matter of . school taxes. Now,. Galt is proud of its educational inatitutione, and I beliet'e very justly so, as 1 have no doubt they will compare favorably with those of any other town in the Dominion. At the same time, 1 ara strongly of opinion that not only Galt, but our own town and most of the towns in Canada might ,.`get equal the educational result for. about one half of the amount now required. The plan is very simple. Let the senior hall of the pupils attend school in the forenoon and the junior half in the after- noon. Half the numb& of teachers weuld then suffice. A smaller building and consequently less expense for heat- ing,. &G. This system, if properly carried out, would reduce the expenditure on ac - went of town schools, besides being better for the pupils. There would, no doulet,be a great and almost tins lir mount- able amount of prejudice to be OVercome ia introducing a system such as I have given an outline of. But I certainly have no svmpathy with those who complain of _ tigh school taxes where they Gould be lightened without detriment to any one. . Let them grumble arid pay if they will inSiSt on maintaining the present system. "rite short or half time system hen been tried for mails.- years in same parts of “ritain„ with very satisfactory results. Although it was originally intended for special Giese, viz., boys and girl 3 era- doyed itt maim facturing establish manta; set if experience has established -the fect• that the system of itself is a good one, I see no reason why it should not be gen- erally adopted. By inserting the above woo will oblige. You can preface it with -.tn. editor's safeguard, viz.: "We do not hoki ourselves responsible for the &c. ,&e., ef our eorrespondents."

It appears a neighbor woman had 'struck the boy, and he intended re- turning the blow, but instead. of hitting her, he Struck a child in her arins. The boy was found guilty and sentenced to fifteen days iti the lock-up. Several of the oldest residents and. leading • mer- chants, also lathes, treated with the magistrate with a view of having the boy's sentence commuted or sent to the Toronto gaol, as they considered the lock-up was not a proper place for any 'person to be confined in, either from a sanitary or a salutary point of view. :All appeals, however, were fruitless.

Mr. Garner followed her, to aid in case hj need, as she was still sickly, and a minute afterwards he noticed her falling, and hastening to her assistance, caught her as she fell dead into his arms.

Upon retiring he closed the house as usual, leaving the proceeds of the week's busi- ness in the till which was in a sideboard in the rear of the counter. This till con - tabled twenty-six dollars in bills, a watch belonging to one of the boarders, some papers and a few small account books. The next morning the drawer a,ud contents were missing, together with a box of cigars and a bottle of bitters. On Saturday afternoon the empty drawer was found near the Woolen Mills, the cigar box at the south end of the town and the bottle remains to be found yet, as well as the watch and money. On a shelf below the till was a tin box con- taining $200, and on a nail above the sideboard hung another watch, which happily were not discovered by the thieves. —On Saturday last Wm. H.
