Almost the only exception -to the primitive figure-Was seen inthe eVening, after the rain cleared:- off, when a number of men belonging to- the fire brigade appeared'in the Strand, forming a procession intended to represent the horrors of the slave trade. A certain number were dressed as planters, With broad straw hats, and carrying whips ins their hands, and others had blackened; faces, and walked in chains, to represent;( niggers. Thepublic were rather puzzled: what to ,make of the affair, and the police were just on the eve of interfering to put: a stop'to it. when the procession was broken up in a most unexpected manner. large fire had broken out at'the East End, and. a messenger on horseback came gallopping up to call the masquerading firemen to their: duty. Away they went on the instant, planters and niggers all togetherâ€"ethe lat- ter taking offtheir fettch and putting them into their pockets as they ran.

Axilhich, it was probably intended by the. honest firem en.-â€"Aberdeen F reePres-s. to the sectibn, which went to the other schools in Maikham' and Vaughan; that the public. school was Iiot fit to accommodaio more than half of the children in the section, while it was the duty of the Trustees to provide acco- njiodation for all. The Trustees who were in office-at that time could not be induced to make any move in the matter. We congratu. late the inhabitants in having a more efficien.‘ Board of Prustees, who have had public spirit enough to undertake and complete the work. ‘At the beginning of 1859, about 12 or l5 pupilswere taken from the Pi'ivatechliools at one time, and sent to the Common Schools.â€" Tlie reason given to me by the. parents, was the improvement in the school since it was placed under my charge. About an equal number was sent from the adjoining sections. The same reasons were alleged. viz.â€"the su- periority of the above-named school to those in their own sections. The number of pupils was in a short time doubled. The attendance for some time ranged between 80 and 90. al- though tliere‘were three private schools in thta placeâ€"this is very little below tlie'liighest number reached since that time. although one or two of the private schools have been dis- continued. These facts. together with remarks to be found in the writer’s book, and in old files of the Herald. will show that thegschool Was as popular at that time as at any other time since; and it continued to be so till a personal difference took place between me and Mo or the Trustees, which was dragged into v the school. and injured its popularity to a great extent. -'1‘o say that Mr. Bannister is an efficient. dilligent and successful teacher, is in my opi- nion perfectly true; but to say that the neces« sity for the above-mentioned improvements ‘is owing to his superior management of the school. is as untrue as it. is unjust to his predecessors. able Southern men, we await your coming!’ Price waiting for his fifty thousand men will be an object of curiosity to the travel- lér in Missouri for a long time to come.

It gives an account of an action between the. Confederate schooner Royal Yacht (privateer) and the Union steamer Santee. The Royal Yacht was surprised when lying'outside of the harbor of Galveston. Finding it impossible to reach the harbor, she gave battle. The contest was a severe one, but the Yacht but by the unthinking mob, Those who are incapable of tracing remote results, and are only desirous to gra- tify the feelings of the moment, without any regard to consequences. We therefore hail with delight the determination at present manifested throughout the country, to be pre- pared for the Worst. ‘To preserve peace, be prepared for war.’ with deep regret that we this Week record the death of Mr. Samuel Watt, who re- sided on Lot No. 8, 7th con. of the Township of Hamilton, from that fearful malady, liydrOpliobia. Some few weeks ago Mr. \Natt observed a small dog caught between the rails of fence, and unable to extricate itself. Prompted by human kind- ness he went to the dog’s assistance, and relieved him from his painful situation; but the animal no sooner found himself at liberty than he turned round and bit the hand which relieVed him, inflicting a wound a little below the space between the finger and thumb. The wound healed up, and nothing further was thought of it until early on Thursday morning, the 28th ult., when the usual symptoms of hydrphobia manifested themsrlvcs. Dr. Goldstone, of this town, was sent for, and did much to relieve the dreadful sufferings of his patient, During the intervals of his conVulsions and delirium, his intellect was perfectly rational and he made and signed his will with a perfect knoWledge of what he was doing. His illness continued for about fortyâ€"eight hours, when death put an end to his suffer- ings. Mr. Watt was well known in this town and vicinity, having kept a toll-gate on the Cobourg and Rice Lake Road for a number of years. He .eavesl a wife and one child.â€"â€"-Cobourg Sentinel.
