interval the manitobana are willing to accept the terms offered as an installment of what they consider to be their rights but they decline to give a clear receipt and accept the present offer as a

early a much larger area than usual of spring crops was sown in the month of april snd owing to the absence of heavy rains farmers were enabled to get the land into excellent con dition oats barley and spring wheat have mads a fine start and give promise of a good harvest the area ot spring wheat will be larger than last year in west- j ern counties sjid srill to a considerable ex i tent make good the reduced area under fail wheat the quantity of wheat in farmers hands is limited to the requirements of home con sumption snd the stock in granary and warehouse has not been so low in the province as it is at the present time since the year following the bad harvest of 1875 the clover fields in every part of the province are in a magnificent condition snd give promise of an abundant yield llany cuucspnnnffnts report the prospects as better than it has been for years the fields look from a week to ten days ahead of their condition at the c date of last year the general outlook for

attendance at the various school meetings held then we must conclude that it ii either at a very low ebb indeed or that the people have unlimited confidence in the integrity and good judgment of their school trustees the number who put in an ap pearance at the meeting called for monday evening to decide upon the most advisable coarse to pursue in providing further school accommodation ni very limited at this meeting the question was cal culated from every standpoint that prs- seoted itself a proposal to utilize the temperance hall for present necessity was considered but as further school room will undoubted be quired in the jiear future it was deemed unadvissble to entertain this proposal the meeting concluded that any additional buildings provided had bet ter be erected on the present school site a committee consisting of the board ot trustees and messrs- d henderson i b pearson and h p moore was appointed to examine the present school building with a view to ascertaining whether it would be practicable to adds second story this plan was thought to be the most economical in many ways and would pro- vide ample accommodation for the require ments of the next ten years or more the provision of mors room is an abso lute necessity there being no matter of choice prompt steps must necessarily be taken it is proposed to raise the money neces- for the improvements referred to by ig debentures the interest only on said debentures to be paid for the first ten years this will be the meet favorable plan for the ratepayers and will give the citizens of future years an

dosed against further interments at any moment in the event of this oar clusetu and the residents ot the oountry adjacent to acton would be left without a convenient place to bury their dead from sanitary oonsideratioui alone the present burial plaoe should be closed ths nature ot the soil and the imperfect drain age of the village of acton exposes us to great and imminent danger at all times but more especially in case of contagious epidemics the municipality haa already laid the subject before the people tor consideration bat for various reasons it was deemed inexpedient that the council should proceed to make the arrangements necessary for providing a new cemetery it ia therefore proposed in the hope ot meeting a better response and receiving a more cordial support from the citisens and public generally to organise a company to carry oat the scheme with a subscribed capital of h00000 divided into 100 shares of 14000 each the call on shares not to exceed 25 per cent the first rear and in no subsequent year more than one call ot 10 per cent the property contemplated tor purchase is that known ss the steel property which was selected for the cemetery site by a oommittee of citizens appointed at a pub lic meeting four years ago this property contains nineteen acres of the choicest lsnd for the purpose obtainable in tbe neighbor hood and is declared by landscape survey ors to be the most desirable in the vicinity this property can be purchased from the present owners for the low prioc of 15000 per acre the inreatment cannot fail to prore a desirable one to the stockholders and it is confidently expected that the first call of twentyfive per cent will be the only one required as the revenue from the sale of lota will pay cost of porchase and all ex- pauses
