We think it is now time for the Kinburn players to give up the game as their record is not very high, and also advis- able, as at the last name one of the players taking unfair advantage of one on the opposite side, with spitefulbru- tality, succeeded in striking him inik the side with his knee with such force as to knock him insensible, and which pre- vented him from playing the remaimier of the game. It should be a warning to other clubs as this player has already became noted for his rough playing.— A. SPECTATOR. a THE PUBLIC SOBLOOL.—At a meeting of the Public School Board, on Tuesday last, some ten applications for caretaker were considered. Mr. Robert French was ultimately appointed. All the pres- ent teachers having expressed their wil- lingness to re-engage at existing salaries, resolution was passed that they be re- engaged for the coming year. The fol- lowing is the average attendance of pupils in the several departments for the rricath of October, as shown by the teachers' reports : Mr. McFaul's, 39; Miss A. Cowart's, 45 ; Miss Kate Cowan's, 51 ; Miss Killoran's, 53; Miss Edwards, 53; Mies Anderson's, 44; Mrs. Coulter's, 116; making a total average attendance of 401 for the month. This is consider- ably lower than usual, but is accounted —for by the fact that so many of the chil- dren have beeu vaccinated, causing their absence kr a few days. — Dine—Many of our readerswill learn with feelings of the deepest sorrow of the death ef Mrs. Robert McCartney, nf the Mile Tuckersmith, which took place on Wednesday evening last.

To our view , _Mr. Hendry's invention is an invaluable attachment to a straw cutter, and while its utility is unquestionable,. it is so simple that it does not add in the slight- est degree to the friction of the machine, nor does it make it more intricate or more difficult to operate. Mr. Hendry intends having his invention patented both in Canada and the United States. and we are much mistaken if, in a very' -short time his attachment is not on every machine in use. ....____. , OYSTER SUPPER. —On - the evening of Thanksgiving Day, an Oyster.

Shortly after Heffernan was arrested for taking the sheep he brought an rtion in the , Division Court to re- cover back from Fell the sheep taken out of fieffernan's field by the constable and given hal*" to Fell as his sheep, and which were the same as those he was accused of stealing.. When the case was called the number of witnesses for both parties was,astonishing. The case occu- pied nearly the whole day. Heffernan tried to establish the fact that the sheep he drove -off the side road were his own and endeavored, but very unsatisfactor- ily, to prove them so by particular marks. On the other hand Fell and his sons swore to the sheep being theirs and the bailiff and constable solid there were no marks such as those described by Heffernan and his witnesses. - The judge decided that Heffernan had failed to prove that the sheep were his and ordered him to return those replevied to Mr. Fell and pay the costs.

The firemen were on hand in good time, but their services were willingly dispensed with on this occasion, for the benefit of Brus- sels, as had the building caught, we • might have had one of the most disas- trous fires here for some time, it being three storeys bigh and in the midst of a long row of wooden buildings.

W. Torrance, pastor, occupy- ing the chair in his usually able and pleasing manner. The pro -gramme, which was a. lengthy and interesting one, was well carried out. Space forbids us giving anything like a detailed account, and we Inaust content ourselves with stating that the addresses as delivered by the Rev. R. Y. Thorason, B. D., Mr. W. Pingally and • Mr. Houston were particularly interesting, well timed and to the pdint. The music, as furaished by the Hensall Methodist choir, under the leadership of Mr. D. L.

A number of farmers had sold their apples on the trees sotne two or three weeks previous- , ly, but the buyers had not come for- ward to claim the fruit and attend to the packing, consequently the apples re- mained out and were exposed to the hard frost which has greatly injured if not completely destroyed quantities of the fruit. This Will entail considerable loss to those thus unfortunate. Man - golds were somewhat frozen too, but the damage to them is not so heavy. A SKIRMISH.—One day lately Casper Weaver and W. A. Zent had a dispute about the plastering of the latter's house. Mr. Weaver had not done the work to Mr. Zent's satisfaction, and this gentle- man would not accept the job.
