TfiDBSTON "^^r^HORBiBT Artemesia Council And Cont. School '^^ \M At the nieetiu % of Arcemmia Council on Monday then; was not much business to be disposed of, but such as there wiis proved interesting to the half dozen s|iec- tators present. All tlie members were present, the Reeve in the chair. After passing of minutes of previous meeting the report of committee appointed to ex- amine into the proposition of opening fidennd No. 10, con. 1 and 2, wair dealt with. F«>lloiiing is the report : Gentleuieu, â€" We, the undersigned cuniroittee »ppointe<l at our February meeting to examine sideroad No. 10, con. 1 and 'i, S.D.R., bei» to rejwrt sis follows: We examined the proiH>sition as per plan submitted by the petitioners, .tnd rind tliat it would Iw practically im|Kis- sible to build the rmid lu accordance with tiaid pkii. A second propositioa w;ls, however, made by those advocating the rood, namely to deviate eiwt 40 rods t«> the line between lots 11 and 12, which we also exMnined and mivke the foUowmi; estimate : Purchase of land, including feucinj;, %Xl'^; prcj>ai-ing ind grading road, iiicUuiing cutting hills, tS'T^ ; totil Jl.'W. After having carefully gone into the question of the atlvi.sjjbility of opeu- ' ing this sideroad, considering the uum- Wr of ratepayers which would be l)ene- lite<l thereby and the convenience to the })ul)lic genendly, we think this Council would not lie justified in <)|)eiung this sideroad this year.â€" John .\.

The jietitionere represented ihat the ci»u- vas had not been thorough and the Priceville jietilion was not aiuons the lot. Messrs. Brander and McLeotl both spoke strongly agi»inst the continuation school. Mr. Brander was not opposed to continuation sch<K>ls, but wanted every sectioa to have its continuation cLi.«e.s. In a short address the Reeve reviewed the work of forming the scho<.>l. He believed the whole unrest was cause<l by a mi8.^ppi>hensi^'. It had been under- .^sWsai fixmi the beghink.^ tha a sch*>ol building would be reipured. He had gone to Eugeui^k and the Durham Road to siteak iu favor of the school, and there was not a dissenting voice. Since t!<at time not three men in this township had protested to him personally against the scheme. Was he not, he asked, justified * m deciding that the public was with him 1 his action in tlus matter \ At kst buinatiou Mr. Grahjkni had intimated ^t the County Council would be ikske<I I a bylaw defining a district and to know Mr. Boyd"s ]>ositiou. oyd distinctly statetl that he was iKtvor of the sch<H)l and this assertion was greeted with an ovation from .-ill {mrtfl of the h:dl. To a tpicstion by the Reeve, Mr. Gmliam admitted that he knew the County Council w\>uld likely W asked to define a dijitrict. Mr. Orahain was himself a member of the continue ation school btwitl last year and knew the school wou'd bo I'etpiii'ed, Mr. Boyd chai'ged th<,>»e res|)ou.sible for the jieti- tions with circulating misstatements and securiMg signatures under false pretences. He had never given the County Council tt> understand that a vote would W taken. The Reeve ot St. Vincent h.vd jiskotl at ')»»^l>tv, Council if the schtM«l ssctions in- teres(:ed h.-»d l>een ctmsulted, Mr. Boyd replietl that if imssed by County Council the Township Council ctmld either ap- prove or di.sapprove, and if dLsi»ppi\)vetl the schiK>l boai'tl could request a vote. He thought if the Township Council were willing to . take the resjwnsibility the Ck>unty Council should not hesitate. He simply a.ske<l the County Council t«> (xtss the bylnw on the strength of th« Schwl Act. Neither himself nor the school bortftl had ever misrepresented anything and he di'fied any one to prove that there h«d betyii niisre(U'«sentation in wonl or de«tl. -Ilr.

I happened to read al)out Dr. Hamilton's Pills and bought five tKixes from the druggist. Such body-cleansing pills I never used; they were mild and yet ijulte strong enough to drive all the humors out o( the blood. My stomach gained strength rapidly with Ur.
