The Spring Show of the Reach, Port Perry and Scugog Agriculvural Society was held at Manchester om Tuesday, the 24th inst, "The morning was a charming one and the roads in the very best order. Our farmers, of course, were as busy as bees driving business while the sun shines, but still the grand attractions ot the show brought together a splendid gathering fron this and surrounding townships, and Man- chester mever looked better than on this occasion. Mine host, Houck, of the Revere House, was equal to the tack of supplying an abundance of accommodation for all comers, while horses, cattle, &c., were abun- dantly provided with the best of stable and shed room.

She has the left? 'Surely the teacher should have the management of his own school-surely he is the chief in his own school-roomwthis is why we employ teachers--Trustees are not teachers. You stated to me at the time you resigned your situation as teacher of our school that © your physician in Toronto had ordered you, owing to your jll health, to quit the school roow, and that you bad called on me fo resign you post, as your health was so much impaired you could not continue any longer with us, and that you would do everything in your power to aid us in procuring another teacher," and I must say that your manner of resigning clearly showed that you were suffering from illness, thereby pointing to the diseased recion-- you hung your head--indicating great ex- hansti your voice faltered--was hollow from utter weakness and prostration. And now I ask you what was the sequel to all this amazing display about ill health 2 You knew that you had thea either onterud into an engagement to go to che Port Perey school, | or was preparing to do so with some of the Trustees of that sehool=that you had au that timea telegram from some of the Prustees of the Port Perry school, to met theny at Manilla in the shades of evening. to complete with them the dark work ef ar ranging your removal from Cagnington to Port Perrys--sick psn as you were--and did then and ther® cemplete the betrayal of you Cannington friends for fifty picces of silvér--not the notorious thirty of holy writ-- and you went to Port Perry, and yon did not {eave the schobl room as your Toropto physician had advised you to do in conse quence of your broken down health, Now was this reason you gave me for resigning our school true or false § I now coma to the question of the disor- panized state of the school, and will ask you to explain how it is that a school room averaging forty-five or fifty pupils. of daily attendance. and having fifty. seven hanes on the Register--placed there by yonrself--how such a school could be reduced to a daily attendance towards th? close of your time dure, of twelve or @ftecn, as your register shows tothayebeanabe case, aud got be disor- ganized. You say the * Trustees of the Port Perry: school wera aware that your agreement with ug allowed you to resign on giving one month's notice." Pray, who told them? Was the additional fifty dollars to your saiary the temptation which caused you to resign our school under the plea of ill health? and did these same wicked fifty .dollass, so obtained, possess the magic charm of estore ing your health so suddenly -asto allow you 40 resume the labor of teaching at Port Perry? If, as you say, the Port Perry Trus- tees were aware of the above condition ia your agreement with ws, how can you com. plain of the biting words used by the Cannington correspondent as * heartless, mean, sneakish, &c., when complaining of and criticising such conduct vp the part of school trustees and teacher. 1 agk you was such conduct creditable? At the close of the fifth paragraph.of your letter you say the * trustees did not even visit the school," and agaio at the close of the sixth paragraph you say ¢ neither fis it true I had no intercourse with the trustees for one month before I left." - Surely, -these two statements clash somewhat. Now, in conclusion, am bound te say thai@ou sought eagerly for.our school, that you wrote a letter to me asking for my indi. widual support, that you came personally, The Emperor |4hat the salary you asked was satisfactory to us as well as to yourself, and all was closed 'by a written agreement between us, for one year, with a proviso--that unfortunate pro- view on the same day, aad will return fo .viso and the filthy hucre of fiyiy pieces sepa- rated us, and has been the cause of all the trouble growing out of yout late 'connection with the Cannington school. I kindly call to your attention to a report of the condition of our sched!' by our present Head Master, Mr. Ming, which will be pub- lished in the Gleaner next week, and which, « disorganized state of our school."
