As to the insinuation that the trustees did wrong m not appointing as Principal of the Public School the gentleman referred to in the Herald, the Liberal has never ex~ pressed an opinion. \Ve agree with our cotem that he has proved him- self to be a good teacher, at the same time we have every confidence that the rate-payers will receive full value for every cent ol the promised $500. No weeks ago we pointed out that our neighbor was inconsistent, inasmuch as although a few months previously it had advocated a salary of $600 for the Principal of the Public School,1t now showed gloomy forebodings of the tuture, owing to the trustees having engaged a teach- er at as high a salary as $500. For this we were subjected to a tirade of abuse last week, and were accused of “mis-qnoting," of being “lallacious.” and actually of “lying.” To mis-quote is to quote incorrectly, and this we did not do. Our lan- guage was not chothed so as to mis- lead, and no reasonable person will accuse us of falsehood because we do not quote the Herald's articles in full. It complains that we did not give the condition on which the $600 was to be paid,which was that the salary of the Head Master of the High School be reduced to $800. Even now we repeat the statement with reluctance, as we dislike to let our readers know that a proposnion to reduce the Head Master's salary $200 has a single advocate. It the trustees expect to keep up the effi- ciency of the High School they show their wisdom by paying a liberal salary. And because they give a good salary in the High School would be a, poor excuse for paying a small salary in the Public School. Cough !; (Dough !

Quit 25mm, ‘ As a fault-finder the York Herald is even of a worse stripe. as its ran- dom shots are generally directed a- gainst the citizens of its own muni- crpality, and more particularly aâ€" gainst the School Board and school surroundings. Instead of assisring in burlding up and sustaining our village institutions, its chief aim seems to be in pulling down, and spreading discord where the best of harmony formerly exxsted. Even the commonest courtesies pertaining to Journalism are unknown to it. For our part we do not object to a fair criticism of our articles by our neighboring contemporaries. In fact such is to he expected, as it must not be presumed that all news- papers will hold the same views on various subjects. To criticise our articles the Herald never attempts. but it is ever on the defensive and seems to think it is humiliating not to reply to a criticism, even if the reply is more absurd than the origiâ€" nal. This Is sheer nonsense, and the Herald should dispel the idea that to havethe last worc‘. constitutes a victory over an opponent. The Evening Telegram quite fre- quently makes itselt ridiculous in the eyes of its readers by its stupid and unwarranted attacks on the York County Council. Nor does it even pretend to give a sound reason for its empty ravings. When the periodic spasms come on, it rants and fumes almost indiscriminately against the members, but fortunately its words are like arrows shot up in- to the air at no mark, and conse- quently produce no eflect. RICHMOND HILL. Thursday. Jan. 10, '89 Changeâ€"Wm Atkinson Changeâ€"I Crosby Changeâ€"F Kirkby NEW ADVERTISEMENTS W0 UNDED FEELINGS. Dear Friend and ’l‘encher.â€"As a class do we toâ€"night greet you with a. unanimous reeling ol love and good-will in our hearts, similar to that groclaimea by the Heavenlv Bust unto the shep- erds. when they sang "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good-\ull toward men." Such is the feeling that you have X'ustel“ ed within us, and. ohi the joy and peace we have experienced, when with our whole hearts we have followed your kind teachings, which are not only set forth by precept but also by your daily walk and good example. You are also en- deavoring to awaken our interests in the lessons by drawing out our opinions on the difierent questions put to us from time to time. But when we hear that you feel like resigning your post as teacher it causes us to reflect and ask, have we been unkind and disobeulent? But rest assured w.) are wholly sat1sfied With your eflorts, and when the thought has been forced upon us that we may, in time, ne separated. a feeling of grief has taken possession of us. Therefore we beg of you to accept this "Chalr" as a small token of our esteem and regard. And. now, in conclu- sion. we. one and all, wish you a Happy New Year, and hope that you, with your equally- eateemeu partner. may long be spared to labor for the Master. Then, at last, we, as teachers and scholars, may meet in the sweet hy-and-by. where we shall all Sing the New Song;_ Signed by the Classâ€"W H. Lever, Ed. Forrest- er, J. McDonald, G. McCugue, Ed.

They then all joined in singing the New Song, after which Mr. Love made a Very suitable reply, but said he was so completely surprised, and the beautiful present was so undeserved, that he scarce- ly knew what to say, but thanked them for the hiin apprecmtion of his services in bringing liiiu so valuable a gift, and us- sured them that it was nothing that they had none that caused him to think of re- signing, for they had always been very attentive and took great interest in the lessons and treated him in the very kind- est manner possible, both in the class and out of it. His only reason for thinking of resigning was because he felt so deeply his inability to touch them, and thought them worthy of a better teacher. He again thanked them for the rich and beautiful chair, and assured them he would always have the deepest regard for each and all of them and that his great- est desire was that they might all so fol- low Christ here below that when life was over as teacher and scholars they might meet above and sing the New Song to- gethe'. The Chair is a beautiful uphol- stered platform-rocker, worth about 820. They then enjoyed themselves with sing- iug and social chat, until a grand oyster- snpper was prepared, which Would tempt the appetite of the most-delicate. After this they amused themselves with games until a reasonable hour, when they brought the evening‘s enjoyment to a close by singing 'What a gathering that will be " and calling on their teacher and Mr. G. Brown to close with prayer. They then all separated feeling that a profitable, as well as pleasanthtinw 11ml beau spent. For some time past their teacher, Mr. George Love, has felt his inability In teach so large and interesting a class, and therefore thought of resigning at the close of the year. The Illelllbl'rd «if his class took this opportunity of proving to him their unbounded confidence, not only in his Christian character, but new also Well-pleased With him as a teacher. 0n arriving at their destinaiion they were cordially received by their tencher and his wife, end soon took peasession of their quiet little cottage, and at once entered on 8.
