COUNCIL AIEETING.-eL-At a Meeting of
Counci1ihe14 on Tuesday evening last, a •
resolution Wias passed. authorizing the
Street Committee to erect a sidewalk
on Goderich street at Carmichael's Ho-
tel, alio at Mr. Case's house on Cole -
men street and from Whitelaw's foun-
dry to the High School. A petition
•waareceived from Michael Dorsey and
others asking the Council to erect a
sidewelk on the east side of Jarvis
street, south of t11 e railway traok, also
to have certain stables, piggeries and
other nuisances, on same street re-
moved. The Policemau was instructed
to have the nuisances renewed if with-
in his power to dd. so. An application
had been made te the Council by Mes-
srs. Beldin & to. to have a view of the
towel published in the county atlas, the
cost of which veonld be $150. A com-
mittee was appointed to consider the
proposition. The committee reported,
recommending that no action be taken
in the matter; as it was believed to be
'rather a matter , for private enterprise
than a municipal undertaking. The
report of the committee was adopted.
After passing a number of accounts the

A CURIOSITY
of the 2nd con
THE MF,CEANIICS' INSTITUTE., -At a
recent meeting of the Directors of the
Seaforth Mechanics' Institute, it was
unanimously agreedto establish in con-
nection with the Institute a recreation
room. For this purpose the whole of
the flat now occupied will be ;leased
from Mr. Kidd, which, with the pro-
posed alterations, will make a most
complete, comfortable and convenient
suit of rooms. • In the recreation room
it is intended to have two billiard ta-
blee, andchess, draughts and other
genies. For the use of thig recreation
room it is proposed. to charge members
$1 extra, thus making the membership
fee $2 per annum to those who wish the
full privileges which the Institute will
afford, but for those who do net wish
to patronize the recreation -room, but
eimply desire the use of the library and
reading room ,the membership fee will be
the same as at present. A small hour-
ly fee will be charged members using
the billiard tables. It is hoped by this
teems not only to pay for the inereased
expenditure entailed, but to raise suf-
ficient to make the Institute self-sus-
taining, and _largely increase its effi-
ciency and usefulness. Aside, however,
from the financial view, the scheme in
a moral sense is an excellent one.
Billiards, chess and draughts are be-
coming fashionable and attractive
sources of recreation and amuseraent,
especially for young men: li institu-
tions, such as Mechanics' Institutes, do
not afford each amusements, young
men will seek Other and very objection-
able resorts for them. Here, however,
our young men can have their desire

special thanksgiving for the 'blessings of
a plenteous hervgt, and of freedom

and tastefully deCorated for -the occa-
sion. The success of the last similar
entertainment is a guarantee that that
on Wednesday ovenieg will be largely
to endorse what has been done, but to
encourage the Directors in their good
work.:
'THE PUBLI Senoon.—We regret- to
learn that at p, recent meeting of the
School Board; an effort was made to
dispense with one of the male teachers
in the public school. The reasons
urged in behalf of such a step are: that
as there will next year be &High School
in operation ill the town, a considerable
number of the pupils in the highest de-
partment of the public school will be re-
moved to the High School, and, conse-
quently, so large a staff of teachers will
not be required ira the public school.
This may, or may not, be the case.
Experiencealone can determine this
point. But, even should this prediction
prove correct; the pruning knife should
be used at ,the other end of the
staff. It is impossible to do away
with one of the male teachers in
the public school, without impairing the
effieicncy and usefulness of that insti-
tution. The High School is well enough
in its place; but we are very sure that
the people of this town will never sub-
mit to so foolish an action as to permit
the public school to be robbed forthe
benefit of the higher institution. Three-
fourths, yes„ four-fifths; of the children
of the town will never have an oppor-
tunity of attending the High School.
Before they are sufficiently advanced to
permit of their attending that institu-
tion, their services will be required in
other pursuits, either in support of
themselves or in aid of their parents.
This being. the 'ease, it is absolutely
necessary that the public school should
be kept ia the very highest state of
