The yoting on choice of site, and election of a trustee to fill the vacancy, took place on Tuesday last. The yot- ing was by ballot and everything in connection conducted honorably. Great interest was manifested, each location having apparently an equal support. In order not to split the vote between the Brown and Bowes site the former was abandoned. The Agricultural grounds are located about forty rods £com the post office, or centre of the village, on the west.whUe the Bowes site is about sixty rods from the same centre on the south side. Both are handsomely located and in every way very suitable and indeed superior sites for a school. Very little interest was taken in the trustee ques- tion. Following is the result For Agricultural grounds 91 For Bowes site 82 Majority for former 9 TBUSTEE. J? or C. W. Butledge 105 For Wm. Brown 67 Majority for former 38 IBUSTEE HEETZNG, After the election a trustee meeting was held. All the members present, viz John Lyons. Wm. Lucas, H. D. Irwin, E. Butledge, W. A. Brown and C. W. Butledge Mr. Lyons, chairman of the Board, and W. A. Brown, Secretary-Treasurer. The insurance claim was finally settled, the board accepting $2,200 for their claim. A committee was appomted to have the Agricultural Hall fitted up at once for a summer school, also a committee to procure information and sketches of plan as to a new school building, to be laid before next meetmg of board, on Saturday next. Every effort will be made to have the school opened on Monday, May 5.

Canada long aco abohshed the relic of barbarism which consisted of starving jurymen into reaching ft verdict. -^ A recent Chicago market report announced that **po7k was in sytn^tby with wheat."

It there is a band of clever rascals associated for the purpose of bringing young English gentlemen to Canada under false pre- tences and theB fleecing them, it is a satisfaction that no Canadian is mixed up with the crime. â€" Systematic fJEirming maps out in advance the work for the season. Bain or shine something has been marked down to be done without any waste of time. If sunshine and fair weather this thing, if raiu and storm then that thing. An alternative something to be done is always ready and the work that teUs goes quietly on. System implies intelligence, and systematic intelligent farming implies success. â€" In relation to proposed U. S. tar- iff on Canadian eggs, the Toronto Tele- gram beautifully observes; As a nation (Canada is either fit to Uve, or it is not. If it is fit to live, a drop in the price of eggs and hides will not spell ruin to our beloved country. If the favors of the United States are commercially the life-blood of the nation then we cannot live. And Canada will occupy no proud place in history. Nations have been annihilated before this Dominion of ours was born. In such cases it was the habit of the able- bodied sous of the subjugated country to die fighting. The flames burning capitals have lit the funeral pile of many a conquered nation. A less painful and picturesque fate has been reserved for Canada. Warsaw's last c^iampion will not stay to see the ruin of all our hopes. Nor will Ireedom shriek when our Kosciusko falls. The nation that survives the ruin of Little York is to perish when Congress turns the guns of high tariff upon the hen houses and hind yards of Canada. The country lived while an alien army was battling for the fairest portion of Ontario, but it must die on account of the low price of eggs. And poor Can- ada IB to go down the flume of time as the only nation in all the ages that perished miserably from the face of the earth because ot unsatisfactory fig- ures for fresh eggs and salted hides The Secret of A Xionir Idfe. You sometimes see a woman whose old age is as exquisite as was the per- fect bloom of her youth. She seems condensed sweetness and grace. You wonder how this has come about you wonder how it is her life has been a long and happy one. Here are some of the reasons She know how to forget disagreeable things. Slie understood the art of enjoyment She kept her nerves well in hand, and inflicted them on no one. She believed in the goodness of her own daughters and in that of her neighbors. She cultivated a good digestion. She mastered the art of saying pleasant words. S^e did not expect too much from her friends. She made whatever work came to her congenial. She retained her illusions, and did not beUeve that all the world was wicked and unkind. She relieved the miserable and sympathized with the sorrowful. She retained an even disposition, and made the best of everything. She did whateyer came to her cheer- fully and well. She never forgot that kind words and a smile cost nothing, but are priceless treasures to be discouraged. She did unto others as she would be done by, and now that old acre has come to her, and there is a halo of white hair about her head, she is loved and considered. This is the secret of a long life a and happy one.â€" Ladies' Heme Journal.
