Our comiaunity l.as a rascally represeutarjon on its education- al board, who in this cause have totallj- misrepresented those who appointed them to represent all, for tlie good of all, but who, in this instance l^ave re- vealed to public gaze the ignoble souls which animate their carcasses, altho' cloaked with the garb of Christian sanctity. The trustee by his declara- tion of office, aurees to labor for the I K3od of all, in his official canacity, and I in all school matters to divest hiasell of persoal spleen and rancour. Let there be a rousing attendance at the annual school meeting, and if we can- not entirely ^\"ipe out the disgrace, »e can at least place on record our dis- approval of this insane freak of trustee iniquity.

Mr. Porter haf' been responsible head of our school during the past two yean, The public recognize with gratitude his ability and assiduity as an instructor of the youthful mind, and moulder of youthful morals his deportment in social life has been a moral guide to the youth of our town â€" the auiniration of parents, and the genial com]aBion of our manhood youth.
