Discussion at the meet- ing centered mainly on the advisabil- ’N- ity of placing a team in the junior an, series of the C. L.

N- The sentiment expressed by the plavc .ey ers and supporters at the meeting :12; was pretty strongly in favor of the tc..local league, and the secretary was rer instructed to write several clubs to ;ascertain their feelings on the mat- “ ; ter. It was thought that if a trophy ; â€"the purchase of which could be made by a certain stipulated contrib- ution from each team contestingâ€" . was procured that it would add zest u to the contest and be a prized me- mZ; mento for the team capt‘uringit.

A J; local league would be a decidely fdgcheaper proposition than placing a mi team in the C. L. A., for the strict co enforcement of the residence rule ' would bar out the playing of hired :- help.

This bill provides for an in- ?crease in the salaries of public school inspectors at $2. per school the Gov fernment to pay half and the County ‘ the other half. At the present time {the Inspectors for the county of lBruce are paid $10 per school and £3150 to defray travelling expenses. ‘They will after this secure $12 per school and as each Inspector has about 120 schools to look after. they ought to be able to pull through all right even if wood is 84 a cord.

A writer in the Chesley Enterprise has this to say about the winters of 1871 and 1895:â€"-â€"The thunderstorm and rain last Sunday morning leads me back to March 3rd, 1871 when we had a very heavy rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning. On that dateaman was killed by lightning onaload of hay between Hanover and Walkerton. This the-w lasted tillthesno w was all gone and there was fine weather till the third week in Aprilwhen there were a few days sleighinu followed by a very back- ward spring and poor crops This p. "a. Tuesday the mail train arrived with sixteen sacks of mail matter. the most ever received at one time in the history of Chesley Postoflice. The boxes were filled and the floor in the postmaster’s private room con- tained a pile covering about twelve square feet and over two feet deep on an average. of circulars. period- icals etc. that kept the poshoffice staff busy sorting till nearly noon the following day. All the missing pa-i pers had come on Tuesday’s mail i There were 10 Globes, 10 Mail andi Empires. 10 Worlds, etc.. and local! papers three weeks old. The Enter-l prise box was filled four times Some I of our leading business men received } over fifty letters. Everybody hopesl the last railway blockade has occur 3 red and that trains will henceforthi run regularly and business resume} its normal conditions -â€"Chesley En- terprise. The G. ’l‘ R. with their large farce. succeeded in getting the track open to Owen Sound on Friday forenoon March 11th. and on Monday March 15th the C P. R. was still 4 miles out of Owen Sound with its big snow plow ditched. When the citizens along this line were enabled once more to travel in a comfortable tail- way coach instead of by the old stage lines, there was general rejoicing. and had there been a scarcity of food in town. and an enemy encamped raund about. Other than tl e legions of snow and ice, our citizens would. have had .a slight idea 01 the feelings of those who are unfortunate enough to be in a beleagured city. The trains ran two days and then blockede No. 61 occurred. Another of those trans- l Pacific disturbances swept along this way. and as the atmospheric depres- sion that has travelled across this! continent so often this year always] manages to call in this locality before ,‘ it completes its gallop of 20,000; miles. there was another blowout on Monday. However, there wasn’t much loose snow to pile in the cuts on the railway track, and about 5:30 ; Inspector Clentlening startu] from d “'ttlkerton on Monday to visit. the '. schools along 25th and 30th siileroads between the county town and Turn. ,On Monday he visited Williams’ and c \lcNally’s schools on the 6th of Brant; 9, Tuesday, Malcolm and 14th con ' 1 schools; W'ednesday. No. 6, Eld. and Soil. and Dohhington; 'l‘hursday, .\lc . Curdy’s and lnvermay schools. He finds that travelling on foot is the only sure way this year when trains pare blocked by snow. and the Conn-i try roads are in many places almostf impassable. This‘is his 3Ist year as: inspector of East Bruce, and he hasn’t: seen any winter in that period tel compare with the present for cold; weather, deep snow, and bad roads -â€"i gChesley Enterprise. t j A Stephen, Clerk of Sullivan says. it the Cheslev Enterpriseâ€"Comments} .ing the thunder storm of a couple of; l weeks ago, you ask in a recent issue; of .\ our paper if any old timer could i give an instance of thunder and; lightning in the month of Feb. before] this year.
