Something About Brussels.
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.

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." Veure very

was arraigned before a magistrate for
assault. It appears a neighbor woman
had 'struck the boy, and he intended re-

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. The
sympa.thy and feelings for the boy became
so intense, from his sobbiugs and
shriekings night and day; and. to the
annoyance of those residing in the vicin-
ity, that forebodings of trouble caused a

—A painfully sudden death occurred
in Kincardine on Saturday night last. ,
,Mrs. Garner, wife of Mr. W. Garner,
suffered during the last week or more
from the effects of a peculiarly exhaus-
tive fit with which she was attacked late-
ly. The patient appeared to be progress-
ing favorably under medical care, even
almost up to the very. moment of her
death. On Saturday night, Mrs. Garner
arose from the bed and went into the kit-
chen. 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.
This sad event leaves a large family nns
provided for by a mothees hand at a
time when many little ones will sadly
miss the maternal cae, and has elicited
numerous expressions'of sympathy on all
sides.
—Mr. Frank Mickus, proprietor of the
American Hotel, Elmira, met with aa E
serious loss one night last week. 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.
